I am posting a question regarding side quests and other like it. I like to know if anyone knows if side quests and other like it from Dragon Age Origins and 2, will they play a role in Inquisition. An example of this is ike in Mass Effect 3 where doing a side mission helped Conrad Shepard's fan from dying or something like it. I mean is doing Slim's stealing quests going to play a role in Inquisition?

Define "a role".  And what do you mean by "side quests".  Do you mean "anything that's not absolutely THE main plot" or "the totally irrelevant filler Fedex quests".  If it's the former, then yeah, I expect them to have a role.  After all, in Origins there were tons of side things you could do that had an effect.  Did you save Connor and Isolde or let them get killed?  Did you help companions out with their personal problems?  Most of this wasn't main plot stuff but it had an effect on the game.

 

If you're expecting quests like "I killed those 3 bears now give me my silver pieces" to have an overall effect on the game . . . probably not.  That's kind of like expecting your choice to buy milk instead of soda that one time to have some kind of major life-changing consequence.  It's not IMPOSSIBLE but not EVERYTHING needs to be Significant.

Completely depends on prominence the particular quest is given by the developer if you ask me. So yes, some side quests will matter as they are simply not relevant to the main story, but are still part of the DA world. For example, the DA 2 Legacy is technically a huge side quest, but may possibly be referred to, in DA:I. 

 

As for Slim's quests in DA:O, probably not. They were done by your Warden, Inquisition is about a completely new protagonist. Maybe, if the developers feel like it, they will add Slim Couldry to DA:I(just as they have added Bodahn and Sandal to DA 2) to let you do some heists and if they do, he'll probably talk to you about the Warden, but no more.

I very much hope that we won't know whether any given side quest will help until after we've done it.

This is something BioWare hasn't done well since BG. There, the main quest wasn't revealed right away, and there were all sorts of quests which might have been relevant. Most of them weren't, but the player didn't know. The iron shortage, the gnoll stronghold, the disappearance of Bassilus and Brage, the increased bandit activity - all or none of those could have been related, and there was no way to know without doing the quests.

That's how side quests should work.

EDIT: I answered the wrong question, but I think I made good points, so I'm leaving this here.

Meeting Gheyna from the Dalish camp near the Brecillian Forest would be fun especially if she either is with a Human, Dalish or no kid.

In response to the OP:

 

I don't think I'd want sidequests from previous games to play any role in DA:I; it would make sense in a series with a recurring protagonist, but because DA doesn't have one, I don't think it would work to well to have something like the Conrad Verner stuff in DA:I. You end up in this weird space where the game gives you references to things that have significance to you the player but not to your character, so you're thinking "Oh, I remember that!", but there's no way such a thing would occur to your character, who hadn't experienced any of the events of the previous games. Maybe it could work in the context of recurring characters like Leliana or Varric, but even then, I'm not sure it's worth it from a cost-benefit point of view. My two cents, anyways.

They are trying to flesh out the friends of red jenny, the companion side quest for Morrigan is probably really important.  I wanted to see the effects of being empatheric towars Shale and see what she had become; either human or stayed as a golem.  It is a nice throwback if they did decided to add some of these cause and effect quests to the game.
