    Let's say for sake of argument you have already created 10 characters for Dragon Age Origins.
    and you want to create an 11th character. The game system will say you have reached your
    character limit and you will need to delete a character and all of the game saves associated with
    a game character. This mean your character and if their are 1 or more game saves for this
    character will need to be deleted in order to make a new character.
    So you delete your character and all the associated game save for this character and then
    you are now able to create a new character.
    So you create your new character and you now have 10 characters again and you go to create
    an 11th character again and get the your have reached the character over limit message again.
    So you think ok. Now you have decided to either purchase the Dragon Age Awakening and
    down load the game add-on or you purchased the cd and are ready to play.
   You figure that ok the expansion will hopefully open up the character limit or it will
    allow you to import all of your 10 characters to the new expansion Dragon Age Awakening.
    So you go to import a character into Dragon Age Awakening an find that the game comes
    up with the message you have reached your character limit and once again the message
    asks you to delete your character and all of it's game saves.
    So you do just that and delete all your character's game save and then pick another
    character to import into Dragon Age Awakening. Hey it works....great. So now you decided
    to create another character or import another character into Dragon Age Awakening and
    guess what you get the character limit reached message again.
    With Dragon Age Origins the game system will only allow you to have up to 10 characters.
    With Dragon Age Awakening the game system will only allow you to have some combination
    of characters that you have with Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Awakening.
    Example :
    Dragon Age Origins = 10 Characters only
   Dragon Age Awakening = 9 Characters in Dragon Age Origins and 1 Character in Dragon Age
                                           Awakening which totals 10 characters only.
     But their is hope! And a way around this limitation and you can increase you individual
    characters and be able to play with more of your characters with in both games.
Note:
     For those you do not know how to gain access to your xbox 360 hard drive
     fallow steps 1 through 13.
     For those you do know how to gain access to your xbox 360 hard drive
     fallow steps 7 through 13.
     This step by step process is written for people who have a very basic knowledge only.

Note: You have to be logged into you xbox 360 account in order to copy, move or transfer
          your game save files from your hard drive to your memory card with the process
          listed below.
 
Process On How to Extend the Amount of Characters
For Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Awakening.
(1) log into your xbox 360 with your account.
(2) press the dash button and scroll through the tabs
    all the way to the right and find the words settings
    and click on the this word to go to the next window.
(3) Scroll through the list of words and find the word
    memory and click on this word to go to the next window.
(4) Scroll through the list of words and find the word
    Hard Drive (HDD) and click on this word to go to the next window.
(5) Now you are in the hard drive section and can view all you
    game saves. Scroll through the list of your main game saves and
    locate your Dragon Age Origins game file and then click on this
    file Icon to gain access to your sub menu game save files.
(6) Here you will find each individual game save file for your
    character or characters.
(7) character files are listed with the name of the character,
    area of the game and a list of numbers which is the year/month/day/time
    and each game save file is 17 Mb in size.
(8) Plug in your memory card ( xbox 64 Mb memory card or USB Flash Card
      memory card).
(9) click on your character game file and the 3 options will appear as to ask you
    what you want to do with the file. Delete, copy or move the file.
(10) Choose the move file option to move your character save file to your
        memory card.
(11) For a xbox 360 memory card you can only hold up to only 3 game saves for
       1 character or 3 individual character saves. A xbox 360 64 Mb card once
       formatted is 52 Mb storage.
      A USB memory card once formatted size is biased on whatever the cards
     Mb or Gb are and will be formatted accordingly for the amount of storage
     available once the card has been formatted through your device options for
     the USB card once you have formatted the card. So with more file size
     storage you will be able to move all save files for your character or characters
     if you choose to.
(12) After you have moved the amount of your individual character game save
       or all save files to your memory card keep pressing the B button to back
       out of all collapsed menu screen to get back to your main dash screen.
(13) Now remove your memory card.
(14) Open your CD drive door and place in your Dragon Age Origins game and
       close the cd drive door and wait until the game has loaded in to the title
       start screen.
(15) Click on start to begin game.
(16) Here you will be able to resume your last game save, Load a game save,
        or start a new game, for those who are new to the game.
(17) Choose to load your game and from with in this menu you will be able to
        select other characters the you have created by pressing the X button to
        gain access to the next menu which displays all your character identities.
(18) So lets say you had your 10 characters on the hard your hard drive and
       you move 3 or more to your memory card. But now when you are in the
      character screen to choose any of your characters that their save files are
      stored on your hard drive. You will notice that  their are now only 7
      characters to choose from. By moving your 3 character to your memory
      card this will open up your character slots to be able to create 3 new
      character types of choice.
(19) Now create your 3 new characters which will give you a total of
       10 characters again. That's ok.
(20) Now exit your Dragon Age Origins game and now that you are back at
        the title screen eject your Dragon Age Origins disk.
(21) Insert your memory card into it's proper slot on your Xbox 360 and then
       fallow steps 1 through 3 to gain access the menu screen of the Xbox 360.
     In this Memory window it will display your hard drive and your memory
     card. Click on your memory card and the newly opened window will
     display your Dragon Age Main File. Simply high light the file if not already
     high lighted and press the Y button for device options and here you can
     copy the entire file to your hard drive.
(22) Now once your files have been transferred, press the B button continually
       to exit out of your menu screens to get back out to your dash board screen.
(23) Now remove you memory card.
(24) Now reload your Dragon Age Origins CD again and wait until the main title
        screen come up and then press start.
(25) Here you will want to go to the load game option again and access this
       menu once again and press on the X button to show all of your playable
       characters. Now here you will notice when you count your characters that
       you now have your 13 characters total. These characters can be any
       combination of either 7 Origin Characters and 6 Awakening Characters
      or all 13 can be Origins Character or all 13 can be Awakening characters
      ect.
(26) The game system will automatically register your other game characters
        because the game if forced to read the character save files and you
        can play through any or all  of those character you have created.
    .
(27) To make more characters just keep repeating the process of moving you
        individual characters save file to your memory card to open up more
        room to make new characters, and then move the characters from the
        memory card back to the hard drive after you have made the newly
        created characters to expand the number of characters to play with.
 
     Also remember to remove your memory card before you load in your
     game because if you only have 7 characters on your hard drive
     and 3 on the memory card and the memory card is still plugged into
     your xbox 360, when you go to load your Dragon Age Origin game
     the game will consider your 7 game save files on the hard drive and
     the 3 game saves on the memory card and if you try to create a
     new character the system will say that you have reached your character
     limit once again.

I have created 18 total characters. After I created my characters the only thing I ran into was when I

started my Dragon Age Origins game the game said the game had an error reading my online storage. This is not a worry or problem. To resolve this issue just log into your account on

http://social.bioware.com and got to where you manage your characters and delete some of the

character names. This will not delete your characters off your xbox 360 so do not worry. And you can still play them on the 360 and in time the dragon age server will update your character information as necessary. I now have 11 characters showing in my online character management section. And I have no issues as of yet with the game tellling me it has a problem with my online character information.

They should still remove the limit as there isn't a good purpose for it to be there in the first place.
