Currently it seems improbable to be able to import DA2 save files into DA:I. Many would argue that's for the best simply because save imports are buggy. True. There's another point. People who want to import save files probably feel using the Keep would deprive them of small choices like who Isabela slept with in Origins. However, the Keep is Bioware's first option for importing while save imports are a possible but unlikely second option. This means any decisions outside of what's in the Keep will probably not be mentioned at all. The save import option will be a possible substitute to replace having to bother customizing your background and also to give that warm fuzzy feeling that your history has been imported even though it's just a facade. This isn't surprising considering how little your decisions were referenced in DA2.

 

I suppose Bioware is thinking about this practically. With The Keep they can hopefully avoid all the bugs save imports have and will use the Keep to alter the background changes they'll bother addressing in Inquisition. It's a shame the series isn't like Mass Effect where practically all your decisions were imported. And dead characters stayed dead.

 

Also, The Keep pretty much guarantees that the Warden and Hawke won't be in the game since their customized appearance almost certainly won't be addressed. I never thought they'd return anyway.

 

I fear you'll have to head-canon much of your DA history in the future.

I believe the Keep will be more complete and more accurate than the save imports

Paranoid nonsense

I don't think the save imports keep apparence either, and even if they do, they would be inexploitable with the new engine.

If it isn't mentioned in DAI, then who she slept with is irrelevant.  The Keep will (presumably) include the ability to input data for all decisions that will effect DAI and any future titles.  If the Keep doesn't ask whether you were rude to Tomas when he greeted you outside Redcliffe, then it's probably not important.  I don't see much difference between importing a save and importing Keep data, but I suppose you could replay DA:O and DA2 a few days before DAI is released so it can still be fresh in your mind.

As I understand it the Keep will have a higher ability to transfer decisions, if plot relevant.

I understand the reason for the Keep and would rather have it than to not have the option at all. I imagine the stuff not asked will be highly unimportant for DA:I

The devs have been through this over and over. The save files werent saving your choices correctly which is why they opted for the keep. They arent doing this to p!ss people off jeez.

Technically, everything that you think happened in DA2 is know to player second hand through Varric's tale. BW can change anything and excuse it as "Varric Lied".
