so, to avoid problems later on, I should go for:

DA:O ---- DA:OA ----- GoA ------- WH

no?

This is "correct", as in "this is BioWare's official chronology-of-events, to the extent that they have/use one." 

I've taken Wardens directly from DA:O  into all the later modules, no problem.  I've played others straight through from "Castle Cousland -to- Vigil's Keep -to- Amgarrak -to- The Eluvian".  I haven't tried the hack to use the same PC "out-of-order" because I don't see the point.

agreed...I dont see the point either. It's an RPG after all, it seems fiting to me to follow the stated timeline.

I didn't see anything in the WH verbiage that said anything like "Don't play this until after DA:OA, but if you must, please understand that the character will not import from WH to DA:OA."  Consequently, I didn't see any reason not to engage in a little vignette before launching into DA:OA, and I was rather surprised to see my character imported into DA:OA without all the goodies I picked up from WH.  I will employ the hack.

it's possible. but not normally.

start a new game(Awakening). select Load from other module. make sure your Origin character there.

then alt-tab

replace WH save with Origin's last save. in my case, Documents\\\\\\\\BioWare\\\\\\\\Dragon Age\\\\\\\\Characters\\\\\\\\Hero5\\\\\\\\Saves\\\\\\\\Slot_9(WH save) -> Hero\\\\\\\\Saves\\\\\\\\Slot_145(Origin save).

back to load screen. you cannot see your WH character at there and in Advanced. but it loads last save which you replaced.

so you can play Origin->GoA->WH->Awakening. as i'm doing.

@luphini:  Did you have to do anything special to make this work?  DA crashes when I try this.  The last save in DA:O, chronologically, is slot 228; the last in WH is autosave 3.  I choose "Import from other module" and then Advanced.  I replace contents of slot 228 directory with contents of autosave 3.  I then select that save in question, and DA:OA starts to load, but then kablooey.  Any tips?

Edit:  it's working.  I had been running my computer remotely, and so I had switched all in-game graphics settings to the bare minimum.  Somehow this seems to be the cause of failure, because when I got home and cranked the graphics back up, it worked, just as luphini said.  Nice work, luphini!
