Hi!

I have a couple of questions regarding my old save games.

From what I understand, if someone has imported a character into awakening, than the awakening save has both vanilla and expansion choices saved. Correct?
##Following this logic, if I have kept importing my character to all the addons in a linear fashion than ALL my choices should have been preserved? Correct?

Of course, I haven't done that, because firstly, I am dumb as **** and haven't considered DA2 when I have been playing, and secondly, I don't want to keep playing the same build all the time.
So now, I have many different characters, for many different storylines. Which ones will DA2 accept?
##Do the DLC choices even matter for DA2?


Will the choices have such a great impact, that I should consider replaying the DLC's with my main character (main storyline one)
## !IMPORTANT!  Will DA2 be able to use your DLC save game, with all the choices, from all previous storylines? (According to my first question?)


Cheers

 bump! Please, i really want to know this

[Selene Moonsong]

As far as I know, we won't be importing from DA: Awakenings because we will have a character assigned to us to develop as we choose; our Wardens can't come on this adventure.



Also not that 'bumping' a topic is considered as spam...

DA2 will not feature the Warden as a main character. That said, we can still import our saves from DA:O. We aren't importing the character, but the world. The choices the warden made will have an impact on DA2. It's been said that Origins DLC will be imported as well, but it's unclear which exactly will be featured and which won't. It's safe to say Witch Hunt will carry over as that DLC actually had an end save. I'm not sure whether or not Awakening will be included as I didn't notice and end game save. It's been said that there was one, and it'd be apparant once DA2 was asking where to import from. It's also been said that Awakening had all the information from Origins as well, but I'm not sure how true that is.

People have been saying that the reason there is no end save after Awakening and Amgarrak is because there is really only one way for things to end: you kill the final boss. That said, the conversation with Morrigan can yield some interesting results, so it makes sense for the game to save after that... hopefully that save will be fixed soon.



As for me, I've imported my guys to Awakening, then to Amgarrak, then Witch Hunt, and I'll go to DA2 from there... while crossing everything I can that nothing gets lost in transit. Nothing official has been stated as to what the best way to import to DA2 (and cover all the previous content) will be, so that's the best I got.

[xiZverx]

Yes, I knew we wont be importing the character himself, but as aaniadyen nicely said, the world.

Still, in the dlc and awakening we had to make many decisions, which could impact DA2. (For example, moriggan returns with the warden riding on her baby-no-so-small-dragon-god-über-badass-god-child, or alone? Or it could be cheaply said that the warden had died or morrigan somehow survived the stab or some cheap ****.

But, in a way, it is better that we can only import our main story characters, because as I have said, I haven't used only one character to play the game, thus I would have been missing out on the content. This being very likely, obviously answers my questions. But if you have something to add/correct me, please reply.

One question remains though: How to import the save to keep ALL my decisions.

Cheers!

From importing your saves from DAO through the DLC's (with Witch Hunt being last), you should have a number of save folders of your character. For example I'll call this character Arthur. The folders then would build this way: DAO - Arthur; Leliana - Arthur1; Awakening - Arthur2; Amgarrak - Arthur3; Witch Hunt - Arthur4. Arthur4 would be the one you would import into DA2.

[xiZverx]

^ That's exactly what I have said. But that does not help me.

Does "arthur4" have all my decisions from all the previous content? Suppose you have imported a character from DAO-Arthur, instead of Leliana.



Are you catching my drift? Because all of these variable I believe only decisions from DAO will be imported into DA2.

Yes.   Keep in mind we're still in development so this may change, but the intent would be to allow you import from completing any Warden-story based content, during or after Origins.  In other words Origins itself (incl Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar), or Awakening, Golems of Amgarrak, Witch Hunt.

Of course, as we've already discussed, you won't play the warden in DA2 but your choices (the impact on the world through playing the warden) will continue into DA2.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

Sweet, thanks. Will there be any kind of summary screen? "The Warden chose to destroy the Anvil and elected Harrowmont" or "The Warden romanced Leliana, but spurned her for Morrigan before performing the DA" sort of thing? I get paranoid my choices will get muddled in the conversion process, because I worry about things for no reason sometimes.

Probably

[JakePT]

Fernando, do you know what the status is on cross-platform importing? Someone (maybe Priestly) said it would be possible, shortly after the announcement, but some sort of confirmation would be nice before I pre-order (I plan to change platform, if possible).

[SaddleTrampNC]

Yes. Arthur4 would have all the decisions you have made from all the others. But as Fernando said (if I understand correctly), it's still up in the air as to 'which' decisions from any of them will have an effect in DA2. I'm sure it will prolly be closer to February before they have anything firmed up on this.

Is there going to be any way to import cross-platform?

[Ulathar]

^ I highly doubt that.

[Wulfram]

Will the US ending import, without retconning the Warden alive?

You wouldnt import a Leliana save, of couorse. It's standalone.

Maybe your question was answered sufficiently by Fernando, but to be honest, I'm not catching your drift..

Your OP says you played multiple playthrough? I was a bit confused on what you meant. If you played origins as  Arthur, then imported Arthur into Awakening, and then from Awakening into Witch Hunt, then the Witch Hunt save *should* contain all your choics from all 3 modules.

However if you imported the origins Arthur into Witchhunt, then obviously Witch Hunt would not contain Awakening decisions at all.

Am I clarifying this or misunderstanding your question?

Im guessing a default DAO story considering that the orlesian warden is limited to Awakening and onwards.

Or maybe you get a quiz after booting up that save. xD

You mean if you imported your US warden into Awakening and imported the Awakening save into DA2? I suspect that may be a problem.

Of course, if you imported an Origins vanilla save, it wouldn't be an issue.

This a thousand times!!  I really don't want to get halfway through my DA2 playthrough and find my DAO choices got cocked up in the importation, cough Awakenings cough

As long as you never import to Awakening, Amgarrak, or Witch Hunt and import that Origins save, yeah the Warden will probably be recognized as dead.  Accord to the Devs there isn't a canon, even for the DR, so the Warden should stay dead, and a default Orlesian Warden will make default descisions for all the stuff that matters in Awakening, Amgarrak, and Witch Hunt. 

It's pretty messed up IMO.  Either give up the power to decide what happens after Origins to keep your Warden dead, or give up the power to decide what happened during Origins to influence what happened in Awakening, Amgarrak, and Witch Hunt as the Orelsian Warden, since the Orlesian has none of your info from Origins.   I'll never understand why they didn't make a "decision import" for Awakeing to fix this problem...

Part of what we're looking at.

This is not possible due to console restrictions.  I would have to look again, but I'm guessing the "possibility" was maybe coming from misinterpreting something we said (like the fact that an import feature would exist on each platform, and maybe that was read as you could import from any platform to any platform - which is not the case)? 

nightcobra8928 wrote...

Should be - the intent would be that basically any 'blanks' would be filled in with a default we provide.  In the case of you importing choices made by a new warden created in awakening, for example - the choices in origins were made by a different warden during that timeframe.  In theory, I suppose history could actually reflect that there were 4 different wardens that shaped Ferelden with their choices. 

Again, theory/intent at this point - once we lock this down we'll know where it actually stands.

Wulfram wrote...

Also looking at this.  I believe the idea here depends on whether you
import a save after US, but having not imported into future products. 
In that case the origins choices should be what your US warden did, and
the rest would be an orlesian warden we fill in the gaps for. 

[The Masked Rog]

Will we be able to import one save from Origins and other from Awakening?
