Dragon Age Inquisition is the most recent for me. Completely redeemed what BioWare did with DA2 and is easily my GoTY for 2014.

I've never played a DA game. So I should skip the second one?

I enjoyed it, but it had issues that I see as unacceptable.  Limited customization of party members being one thing.  Also they had like six dungeon maps that they rehashed over and over.  For example, lets say to enter a cave.  You will notice enemy A here and enemy B there, some traps, and a few blocked paths.  Then you go to another cave in a totally different area and it is layed out EXACTLY the same.  The only difference is now enemy A is here and enemy C is there, traps are moved around, and the previous path is blocked while the other path is now open to create the illusion that it is a different cave map.

 

Also compared to Origins and Inquisition, the plot pales in comparison.  The game isn't HORRIBLE, it was just obviously rushed and could have been so much better.  So yes, if you were to skip a DA game, that would be the one to skip.  If you want to know the story behind Kirkwall and how the mage rebellion in Inquisition came to be however, check it out.
