I'm kind of confused by what Dragon Age Keep is, and the Kotaku lore guide didn't help. Is it just dialog options with little/no context like Kotaku implies? If so, is it actually needed if Inquisition is your first game anyway?
Dragon Age Keep is a website that Bioware made so people who have played either or both of the previous entries in the series can go and set the choices they made throughout those two games. This is done so we can have our personalized story in Dragon Age Inquisition instead of the default world state of w/e Bioware deems as the choices for people who haven't played either game.
The choices themselves aren't really expanded upon but there's a wordpress website people in here have the link for (I don't) that expands on every choice Dragon Age Keep gives you for fans.
If you haven't played the games there's little reason to use the keep, just go with the default world state. You can always read the OP and watch the videos linked in the first page of this thread for more background.
Also when shinobi's OT goes up he'll have summaries of the plots of the first two games so you can at least have an idea of what happened so far.
