Easiest way to describe it would be the best of both. It's a gigantic game (like unbelievably huge - Baldur's Gate scale but not 2d isometric) with story and characters more like 1 than 2. Combat is more like 2. It has some elements all its own like a complex crafting system and the war table and keeps.
Most of the issues with 2 are gone. No repeated areas, combat is still slashy but less so (caveat: I enjoyed 2's combat more than 1's; thought origins was a little too slow), the dialogue is better. There's been a lot of complaint about the pc ui, that it's too much of a console port, but I haven't had any issues adjusting to anything.
I think it's essentially what they wanted origins to be, from a design standpoint. They just didn't have the engine for it until now.
In any case, I think it's really good. Whereas, while I never hated da2 or thought it deserved the outrageous negative reaction it got, the sequel was more of an okay/playable game, but no masterpiece on any scale. Inquisition is a legit game of the year candidate in any genre and one of the best rpg's in years.
