Dragon Age: Origins

For some reason, when importing an Orlesian Warden into DA2, some of the plot flags may not set correctly, and the default are used instead (not all of them, and I haven't yet figured out a pattern). 
If you're comfortable with save gave editing with pyGFF, you can double-check for yourself and fix them.  (if not, I recommend the Gibbed DA Save Generator instead)
For continuity, it's best to do this as early in your DA2 run as possible. 
Savegames are usually stored in Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age 2/Characters/*charactername*/Saves, and have the .das extension. 

Open your .das with pyGFF, and expand the main node.  Under that, expand 16024, and then 17607.  There are about 300 nodes, and the 'value' column corresponds to a specific plot flag from DAO or its DLCs. The number after shows whether it is set or not:  0 = FALSE; 1 = TRUE.  To change a plot flag, expand the node and change the 0 to a 1, or vice-versa. 
For it to stick, you need to click the 'save' button underneath, and of course, save the file when you're done. 



Here are the import plot flags.  A maximum of one in each grouping can be TRUE. 
*Asterisks indicate plot flags that are set by default, and used by the game to fill in missing information from incomplete saves.

Some of these, I'm not sure what the distinction is, or where in Origins they're set.   A lot of party stats are also imported into DA2 (like specializations and approval), but this is already a long list. 
 
Some import flags are also bugged (notoriously the romances), but can be fixed with sapphim's amazing Import Vault Fixes


Save game editing is at your own risk.  ;)
