Not a big question, but does Oghren's approval rating from our Origins playthrough import over if we import our Warden from DAO?

I don't know about the approval but yes, the personal quest does carry over, or the game assumes you did it, whether you did it or not. In Awakening he has a child and is with (married?) to Felsi.

As I understand it, plot flags ("did somone do X quest?") can be carried over but approval (which is a variable stored on the PC character local to origins) can not. It's been a while since Oghren saw you, at least, but if you did his personal quest (and how you did it) is at least an indication of how you two got along.

And I think he'll start on neutral for gameplay purpouses.

That is indeed it. The approval system is a gameplay system, and starting off a follower at max approval would circumvent the system's purpose.

Or, if one prefers, you can imagine the worst and decide that we'll clearly be having dialogues like this:

"But you were my friend!"
"Who, you? Nah!"
"But I got you and Felsi back together!"
"Yeah, but what have you done for me lately?"
"I defended you on the forums!"
"BURP."

If this is seriously the case, who in their right mind would work in Oghren's approval in Awakening now?
Now that I know that it doesn't carry over, I suddenly don't give a crap about how my companion cares about me, especially since there's no romance.

If your only concern is how things could possibly affect future stories, and not how they affect this one, then why do anything? Nothing is guaranteed to carry over in any fashion -- things exist as they are to make the game you're actually playing a better one, not to affect some hypothetical future game.

uh oh thats bad david i was hoping if our warden married alistair or anora it wouldnt just be hand waved i really hope it doesnt get forgotten in later releases as thats my main character playthrough as for the approval rating thing well i understand it going back to 0 but i never read anywhere that oghren doesnt know who the warden is

Where did I say Oghren doesn't know who the Warden is? I also said nothing about the Warden's marriage, which is in fact recognized. This is about Oghren's approval rating -- the numerical value -- period.
