In preparation for DA2, I completed Dragon Age Origins (inc. Warden's Keep, Stone Prisoner, and Ostagar), imported that character into Awakenings and completed that, then imported that character from Awakenings to Witch Hunt.
Today I bought and downloaded the Golems of Amjfuyrghtgr, because I hear that will have implications in DA2.
In order to fit Golems and its choices seamlessly into the narrative of my character and import it into DA2 alongside all the choices I made with this character in DAO, DAA, and Witch Hunt... Will I have to import my character from Awakenings to Golems, then from Golems to Witch Hunt, which I'll need to complete again? Or can I import my character from Awakenings to Golems, complete Golems, and that's it, the choices from Golems being ready to import over to DA2 in conjunction with the choices from the already completed Witch Hunt?
If I have to follow the first scenario, should I delete my current Witch Hunt character from the character selection screen within Dragon Age and delete them from the Documents > BioWare > Dragon Age > Character folder? You know, to stop there from being two almost identical Witch Hunt characters to import to DA2, one having made choices in Golems and the other not?
I guess, all this boils down to where an importable characters choices are saved.
Are choices for Dragon Age Origins stored with last save for a DAO character, while Awakenings choices are saved with the last save for an Awakenings character, and Witchhunt choices are saved with the last save for a Witchhunt character, independently?
Or are Dragon Age Origins choices saved in the last DAO save, and (if imported) in the last Awakenings save with the last Awakenings choices, with both DAO and Awakening choices saved within the last save of an imported Witch Hunt character?
I'd really like somebody to clarify how this all works, even at this early stage, far before DA2 arrival.
It's going to suck if I get DA2, play it for six hours and then find out that one or all of the chunks of DAO + DLC that I got and spent hours on has had its choices ignored by DA2.
Thanks for spending the time to read and reply to this heap.

You import a single save file into DA2. If you want to know what data is being imported, trace that save game back to its genesis; that is when you created a new character. If you created an Orlesian Warden then that is a new character and the genesis of a save game. There is no import history for such a save game. An Origins save game imported into Awakening does however have a full history of Origins decisions.
If you took your end of Awakening save and imported it into Golems, then took your Awakening save and imported it into Witch Hunt, the new Golems save game would have no knowledge of Witch Hunt data and the Witch hunt save would have no knowledge of the Golems data. You must import your save games in a single chain tracing all the way back to origins to be able to import all data (Origins->Awakening->Golems->Witch Hunt).
Think of the decision data like an item in your inventory. Jokes aside about DLC items and Awakening imports, imagine you got an item at the same time you made the decision and never disposed of it. If the item would be in your inventory in the save file you import into DA2, then the decision will be imported. If the item wouldn't be there because it's in a different branch of your save game tree, then it will not be imported. There is no world state/decision tracking on a per character basis that transcends individual save files.
