I'm new to DA, I recently tried dragon age 2 and really liked it so I figured I'd try dragon age origins for the sake of creating a save file I could import to DA2 to see what changes  in DA2 when I play it again for the second time with that file imported. Now the thing is, unfortunately as it turns out I really hate dragon age origins, even though I tried hard to like this game and gave it my most sincere shot, I find myself pushing myself through it and not really enjoying it so, so far I've done the elves quests, the sick king quests, the mage tower quests, I've romanced someone comepletely, done the quests for the witch companion, the redhead rogue girl and alistar's sister quest and now I'm at that dwarf place where you see that army of darkspawn underground. I know I can import a save file into DA2 without finishing origins so my question is how much would I miss in DA2 if I import this file right now as opposed to importing it when/if I finish origins?

The ending makes a bunch of changes but no real big ones. Mainly, What characters are alive, and who's on the throne.

Most of what you will miss, will not become apparent - at least not in DA2. I don't know how they handle choices, if you don't complete Origins or it's expansion Awakening. Overall you will not miss anything other than maybe who ends up on the throne and who survives the whole way through the game (there's only 1-3 characters that may not survive in one playthrough, with a total of 4 that can die/disappear).

Edit: There's also a baby that may or may not be born, and their father can be 1 of 3 characters. And 2 companion's romances can finish based on your choices with whether or not there is a baby.

The 3 pre-canned options for the DAO endings at the beginning of DA2 are all the major variants that are possible. The main story in DA2 is unaffected by what happened in DAO. Even the
pre-canned option where the Warden dies has no effect as there is a
replacement Warden in one of the DLCs that handles that ending. In the end, when Cassandra says the Warden is also gone can refer to either
the original Warden or the replacement Warden. If you romanced Leliana
in DAO, there is no hint that such a romance ever happened in DA2. Any ending where Alistair dies is ignored although whether he becomes king or not has a very minor side story in DA2.

Playing DAO only affects side quests and some NPCs who show up. Anders is the only character from DAO that is a significant character in DA2. However his personality and actions in DA2 are not affected by what happened in DAO. Anders is who he is in both games. The pre-canned options have some unique side quests of their own that do not show up if you import a DAO game you played, just as the imported game has unique side quests of its own.

The bottom line is you miss nothing significant if you never play DAO.

DA3 may be another story as you can kill Anders or not in DA2. Unlike the death of the Warden, it is not as easy to explain that away.

But I saw a video on youtube of leliana showing up in da2.

Leliana shows up in a side quest and at the end but many other characters from DAO also show up such as Nathaniel, Zevran, et. al. However nothing that you did in DAO affects what happens with them in DA2. There is no mention of any romance with Leliana. Nathaniel and Anders know each other but that is it.  If Isabela and Zevran meet, there is talk of  them bedding each other even if your character totally ignores Isabela in DAO. Unless you played DAO you would not even know that these characters came from DAO.

The only character from DAO in DA2 who is affected by what you did is Alistair because his fate is crucial to the 3 endings. If Alistair is made king, he shows up as king in DA2. If he is not made king, he shows up as a drunk in the Hanged Man. I believe there is an ending where Alistair dies but that is totally ignored in DA2. 

Basically if you played DAO there are some diaglogue differences with the DAO characters in DA2 that reward you for playing the game. But the dialogues give away nothing and only someone who played DAO and then played both the imported game and the pre-canned games will notice the difference.

Actually if you import a save fron DAO where the warden romanced Leliana she does say that the Warden is  dear to her heart. If Leliana is not romanced she will only speak about the songs she composed about their time together and has not seen the Warden in years. If the Warden married Anora or Alistair she mentions they make a good King or Queen. None of which actually affects DA2.

If you're playing DA2 on the PC, you can use this to set the flags you want.

Most of the import decisions result in cameos for DA2. Besides the fan service for those who played Origins, nothing major is missed.

If you kept Avernus alive during Warden's Keep, you do get a quest which gives you a tome, but that's probably the most practical effect from importing.
