Because I really don't feel like signing up for it just to perhaps get a few nods to the first two games.  If it doesn't really add much to the game then I don't really see the point in it

It's pretty important.

It makes some significant differences. If you're invested in the previous games' outcomes to the point that you would have bothered with a save import had there been one, I'd say use the Keep.

If you didn't play the previous games, the Keep is still valuable in terms of showing you roughly what happened before.

Thanks for the replies, just bought the game today for the 360 and played for an hour and a half so far, loved the first two games maybe I'll just play through it and do the keep later on, it really doesn't sound like something I would like to do everytime I want to play a new game of it though.

Doing it once should be enough for all future playthroughs, unless you want to play with different World States (decisions from past games).

Wait you did play the other 2 games right? I would definitely say do it then.

Well it might affect how some returning characters look and if you see them at all.

The only real laborious thing about it is if you have more than one world state. You'd have to recreate each version in the Keep. If you're like me and only have one world state you really care about, it isn't a big deal; it's a one time thing and you're done. Honestly, I think it's real innovative and cool, and definitely worth the effort if you care to see the impact of your decisions over the last two games.

I have 8 different world states in the Keep. Or is it 9? Anyway, I have a lot of different variables, ogb or no ogb, Loghain or Alistair, Alistair king or warden or . . . I'm on my 4th pt and used a different world state each time time. I've seen the differences in some of my dialogs. Leliana is a good early test.

It's not vital to the game.  But as others have said, if you are invested in particular playthroughs, you might want to try it out.  Some decisions are not recognized in the game.  Some only have nods.  But a few have a genuine noticeable impact on the story.

 

Also, the Keep can store several world-states, so you could make a few all at once, then just pick which one to be the "active" one for a given game.

You don't have to go through every single option if you don't want to. If there are a few important decisions from the first two games that you want to preserve; your warden's origin, completing the dark ritual, whether they survived, or Hawke's mage/templar choice, you can just set those and the Keep will fill in the rest with default choices.

 

But regardless of whether you use the Keep or not, there is a default world state the game falls back on if some choice is not player selected, so there will be reactionary stuff in DAI pertaining to some choices even if you didn't set them.

There's a randomiser option. Which lets you not have to do any tile setting

If you want to see the DAO character named

Alistair

 

in the game, make sure he is set in the Keep to be

a warden.

 

Though if you don't, you do get

some amusing letters from him if he is set to king.

 

So far everything else I have seen has been only a passing nod to this or that -- something Varric mentions or a letter coming from someone if alive and someone else if dead. Though I am only like 80% through the game.
