Regarding the keep, I understand the concerns. For the most part, I've seen people bothered by a restriction in the number of things to choose for, or for the spoilers it could provide when recapitulating in the beginning. Yet, I can understand that they went with that, I guess. It's set in Northern Thedas, 10 years or so after Inquisition. I don't expect that a great many choices in previous games are really relevant here. And there are maybe other technical aspects. For example, I'm not really sad to not have to use an online intermediary linked to an EA account (my personal preference).
I also think this system is much more convenient, I was relieved to hear the news, and I'm not exactly a DA superfan so I've got no reason to be (maybe THAT'S why I'm relieved). Yeah, it spoils that it'll need that info for the game so you can assume you'll see consequences to those choices specifically, and the fact that you have to make your inquisitor means you will see them, but that's par for the course.
That it appears in the game doesn't necessarily mean it's important, though. See how Leliana in DAI would speak differently about the Warden depending on if she was romanced by them or not. I loved that detail but I wouldn't call it vital. With many of the choices we will have to specify, I'll try to go in thinking they will be minor details just to try and be surprised if they're not.
