Re: How do I access origin's original saved games?

You didn't loose the saves.

If  you play Awakenings with an imported character the game will create a separate folder in your "C:\Users\Username\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters" folder for the Awakening saves (usually the name of this folder will be the first name of the character with a "1" after it).

When you want to play your Origin Warden (and not your Awakenings one):

1) Select "Load Game".
2) Along the bottom of the screen select "Switch Character...".
3) Use the image along the right side of the screen and information below it to determine which character is the one you want.
4) Highlight the character and click "Select".
5) Next you should see a list of your Origin saves.
