I didn't get the DLCs Golems, Witch Hunt, or Awakenings until after I'd completed Origins. I would be surprised if you could start Witch Hunt before completing DAO, as the ultimate confrontation in Witch Hunt depends on your choices in DAO. I would think it should still show as installed.
Awakenings is post game content as well, but there is an option to start with Generic Warden to play that campaign, if you don't have a Warden to import. Stone Prisoner, Wardens Keep and Ostagar are all in-game DAO content. I can't remember if Golems counts as that as well.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
