I don't think any decision made in Origins will have a meaningful impact on DA2.

Look at Mass Effect 2. That game was heavily marketed on "everything you did in Mass Effect has a major impact on Mass Effect 2" and we all know how that turned out. Your ME1 decisions have no meaningful effect on ME2 at all. Keep in mind that file transfers and decisions carrying over was like the flagship gimmick of that series and BioWare still did almost nothing with it. Now given these facts, what chance is there of Dragon Age II being impacted by decisions made in Origins when 1. decisions carrying over is not one of the series' main gimmicks, and 2. the game likely mostly takes place in a completely different country where most of your Origins decisions would be trivial at best? Think about it. Does the question of who wears the crown of Ferelden really matter to people in a country that has no known relationship with Ferelden at all? If you were a citizen of a state of the Free Marches would you care if some forest you never heard of is populated by elves or werewolves? Would whether or not the Circle of Magi (an institution that may or may not exist in the Free Marches) in Ferelden went into chaos really be an issue of major concern for you? As long as we're playing the wild speculation game, I'd say that they put this game in a different country specifically to get away from Ferelden so they don't have to deal with trying to make every little thing in Origins matter at the expense of fresh storylines.

I think decisions from Origins will show up in the same style as ME1 decisions in ME2. Little things like meeting Flemeth and having her conversation slightly change based on whether or not your Warden sided with her or fought her during Morrigan's personal quest. Little things like that.

Decisions I believe will be referenced:

~ The Warden's race/origin/gender.

~ Whether they did the Dark Ritual.

~ Who they put in charge of Fereldan (Anora, Alistair, Anora + Alistair)

Possibly whether Redcliffe was destroyed; the Ultimate Sacrifice (or not); whether Andraste's Ashes were defiled and the High Dragon defeated; whether the Circle was saved or purged. These things might be more relevant to a human population. If there are Dwarf/Elven enclaves anywhere, then the king of Orzammar/Elves or werewolves thing might be mentioned.



There might be some other, slightly more trivial things too. If the Blackstone Irregulars/Mages Collective have 'branches' or contacts out in the Free Marches, the resolutions of those questlines might be referenced. That's all I can think of. Unless that nug I bought for Leliana was pregnant, and the nug population has done a tribble (?) on the surface of Thedas ...

Although unlikely, I also hope that Jowan shows up if he survived your Origins playthrough. He was one of my favourite secondary characters.

Major decisions such as who is ruling Ferelden should turn up in the Codex, but that's about it.

I'm sure stuff will be referenced, but there won't be any major effects like you'd think. Especially since the game is taking place in a completely separate area of Thedas.

DR is inevitabley going to be made canon.  Its too good a sequel hook not to capitalize on eventually, or to write of as a lolololol Morrigan baby did stuff, then did more stuff, then died and stuff because of so and so.
