TBH being Queen Cousland had more impact on me than King since my character romanced Alistair. But I did go the King Cousland route on one of my runs. My queen got more references from DA2 than the king did. The story itself, from both genders' perspective, has more impact with the killing of Howe (the only other one that comes close at that point is the City Elf, who also has a huge grievance with the Arl of Denerim's purge of her home), there is more reference to the nobles knowing you, occasionally a quest might impact it (such as when I was able to get Sten released on my name's reputation alone).
I say if you find the story boring/unsatisfying, then play one of the others. Why force yourself to do something in a game (whose purpose is enjoyment) if it's not enjoyable? For me, I found the HN origin interesting and very connected to the story. I had to force myself to finish the dwarf noble story as I found it boring and very disconnected from the rest of the game outside of Orzammar and only completed it so I could say "I tried all of them".
As for sequels, in DA2 none of the origins had a huge impact on the story (aside from a codex stating who the Warden was and how he/she ended the Blight in only a year's time, an unprecedented event). I expect DAI will have as little connection to Origins as DA2 did, referencing who is king/queen and the Blight being eliminated.
