Sorry if this has been posted recently, I'm new!
Just wondering who else out there is currently doing a replay of both games, either to craft that perfect world state ready for import or simply because you can't wait until November to dive back into Thedas?
Feel free to talk about your Warden/Hawke and what choices you're making, what romance you're doing, etc. It's always fun to see what other people are up to. 
Hum tried , but couldn't get the Female Qunari out of my head . So jumped directly in DA2 . Made a female Warrior that romance Bela (always do)..will try to friendzone her..cose its lot of work and more fun . Alistair is King too with Female Warden as his Queen .
Trying to make Bela with the Arrow Tree and see if she get strongest cose of it....so far , still trying to raise the money for the deep road expedition . Think I get Bethany in the cicrle this time around and have varric Brother die .
I've had a lot of time off work recently due to injury, so I basically did a rerun of my canon worldstate for the bajillionth time. Female Dalish Rogue, Alistair/Anora on the throne, Architect dead, Leliana romance, etc etc and sarcastic male mage Hawke, killed the Arishok 1v1, sided with the mages, etc. etc.
Was actually planning on waiting a bit to start so I could finish it shortly before Inquisition drops, but then they pushed the release date back so to hell with it.
Already did, just finished DA 2 earlier this week so my head canon for both DAO and DA 2 are ready
Female Human Diplomatic Warrior Warden romanced Leliana
Female Default Sarcastic Mage Hawke romanced Isabela
Both are pro mage and my Inquisitor will be a female human noble warrior and will be pro mage despite her Andraste religious upbringing who will romance Sera which should be interesting since Sera hates nobles. She will be serious when she has to be but will also be witty/sarcastic and will enjoy a good drink in the tavern all the time.
Already beat Origins twice again and just started another DA2 run.
Origins 1: King/Teryn/Arl/Warden-Commander Cousland w/Anora, Grey Warden Alistair, Took the Dark Ritual; In the middle of Awakening playthrough where I'll burn Amaranthine (despite upgrading the Vigil to max strength) and spare the Architect. ----->Unstarted Run with aggressive/sarcastic Mage Hawke
Origins 2: Bann Tabris put Alistair and Anora on the throne, Had Alistair take the Dark Ritual ---> Act 1 with diplomatic/sarcastic Rogue Female Hawke
I am currently redoing DA2...and will redo DA:O as I installed the noisy banter mod from Nexus...the companions are forever making comments both on and of the field (so to speak) 
I'm constantly playing DA2 whenever I have free time. My plan was to play Origins and Awakening first, but with the combat the way it is, it's just too frustrating and tedious.
In playing DA2 I'm actually noticing a number of little variances that I have not noticed before, even after many playthroughs.
Also have a gibbed Origins save generator that I am using in my DA2 games, which adds a few neat little side quests and so on...
Also with Cassandra and Varric in the picture, I have a feeling the events of DA2 will translate more tangibly into Inquisition than those of the Warden in Origins.
*Raise Hand*
I'm currently replaying through DA:O at the Circle Tower before entering the Fade...ugh I hate that part.
I sort of was but I've been distracted with other games.
Story of my life. And of my latest attempt to go through DA:O. 
I think I was trying to decide whether my dual wielding Elven Templar was going to visit Orzammar or the Brecilian Forest next.
Skip The Fade mod. Goes straight to companion quests*Raise Hand*
I'm currently replaying through DA:O at the Circle Tower before entering the Fade...ugh I hate that part.
I hate all those mazes and puzzles.
Started replaying both recently, will likely play DA:O and DAII a few times before Inquisition comes out.
I'll try to play/replay each world state before I start with that on DAI. I'm a bit obsessive and like things perfect and fresh in my mind. I'll at least do this for my first few playthroughs, after that I'm likely to be burned out and move on to other games/stuff. Then one day I'll return again and rinse/repeat.
Skip The Fade mod. Goes straight to companion quests
Thank you kindly, and silly me I forgot to install that essential mod after reinstalling DA:O. Thank you for saving my time, and saving me from endure those hideous mazes/puzzles
Skip The Fade mod. Goes straight to companion quests
I don't think I've done the Fade more than once after my very first playthrough back in the day. I've used the mod ever since so much so that I barely even remember what I hated about it lol. I just know I hated it. 
(tho there was this one graphical glitch that really made me sick to the stomach)
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't really have a major problem with the Fade, or the Deep Roads.
Could never install one of those 'Skip the ____' mods. :S
im not doing it in anticipation, im doing it cause im bored and decided against getting destiny.... so im in game limbo till assassin's creed hits in october
I don't think I've done the Fade more than once after my very first playthrough back in the day. I've used the mod ever since so much so that I barely even remember what I hated about it lol. I just know I hated it.
On my first playthrough I first completed Orzammar and I was complaining how I hated these damn Deep Roads! Little did I know what was awaiting me in the Fade 
Soo... I have actually done the "replaying" part this August, because I wanted to get this over with and go straight into work after the holiday was over... But at times my resolve reminds me of a pudding 
Now that you have mentioned this, I think I'm going to replay the games again. Probably, I'll start playing as a male Warden (I have never done this, but I'm going to make one of the worldstates in the Keep with male Warden anyway, so why not try it out?). I think, he'll be a Cousland or Mahariel, romancing Morrigan. He'll make the same boring good choices I always make (except Connor case - I'm so lazy to go to the Tower to save everyone, so I usually kill either Connor or Isolde), perform DR and go on his merry way.
Then I'll create another female mage Hawke (same old bore) and I'll try something I was thinking about for some time which I can't explain other way than by making an example. E.g. to get friendship points with Fenris you need to take a lot of pro-Chantry/pro-Templar/anti-Blood-magic choices. I want to try and get as much frinedship points with him while not doing this and being very pro-mage - by not taking him on specific quests or making "neutral" choices. Or rival Aveline while still being very diplomatic and law-abiding. Or befriend Merrill, while.... Nope, I don't think I'll ever be able to do this. I doubt it's possible to get companions bars full this way, but I'm gonna plan and play!
I really like self-imposed challenges.
So yes, I'm going to replay the games. I think I'll finish DA:II by the time the Keep goes into open beta.
I play through the fade and the deep roads. Doesn't bother me any to play through them.
And I've just about finished with a male Cousland married to Anora to be king coupled with a male warrior hawke romancing Isabella and siding with the mages.
And to be a contrary bastard I will finish my mages that side with the Templars in a second runthrough her pretty soon as well.
But I'm also kind of short attention span sometimes so they keep getting broken up with my Renegade Sentinel insanity playthrough that is most of the way through ME2 and about to get imported into ME3. Though calling it Renegade is only because that's the one I max out. I know all the choices so well that I have rather high morality bars on both sides because I know pretty much the limits I can make on choices and still make all of my charm rolls for either one and throw in other choices for flavor.
edit: I know what you mean about being lazy when it comes to conner. Luckily I usually need a healer and I just do mage tower before going to Redcliff which solves both problems at once. When I am playing a mage that's actually healing then I tend to get evil and twisted about things and sacrifice Isolde and give Conner to the Demon.

I think this is actually kinda cool! I don't think I'll have the patience for it myself, but I'd be very interested in the results. I imagine there will be some instances where conversations with those companions will contradict your actual stance, especially with Aveline or Anders who tend to point those out more.
Yup. DA:O and Awakening done, DA2 about half way done.
