If it's Origins you have, I heartily encourage you to go ahead and play it - it's a great game, and you would get a solid grounding in the world-building, especially if you read through some of the codexes you collect along the way.

I have not actually ever got around to playing DA2, but I have heard a lot of people really think it's nowhere near as good, but it does go into establishing a fair bit of why the Mage/Templar War happened, given that one of the big themes in the game is how the templars abuse and mistreat mages. (Mage are dangerous in DA - they are at risk of being possessed by demons.) Also the Big Bad of Inquisition is the Boss battle of a DA2 DLC adventure.

As a point of disagreement, Origins is conventionally grimdark in a way Inquisition very much isn't. I hated Origins, so I wasn't interested in Inquisition until I read a rant about how Dragon Age had been "sanitized" and turned into "generic high fantasy" because Inquisition cut out all the rape and added more black people.

I guess the grimdark was new to me because I don't really play a lot of games, and the three significant RPGs in my past prior to DA were not grimdark (well FF7 was a little bit that way, but not much).

They really took a lot of inspiration from ASoIaF in Origins so that's one of the main reasons for the grimdark things there.
