Dragon Age: Origins is an epic fantasy role-playing game featuring a rich story, personality-driven characters, and tactical, bloody combat. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series.
I think the first is one of the finest RPGs of all time. Read Dave Snider's review on the site. The second is very different, I enjoyed it in a different way. Huge departure from the first. There's a strong vocal crowd that hate it though.
Definitely get Origins, and make sure to get the ultimate edition, the expansion was very good.
I wouldn't bother with 2 unless you are desperate for something to play, Steam sale is right around the corner, there will be much better uses for your $5 there.

This is exactly how I think about it. The first one was a phenomenal RPG. The second, while departing from it's predecessor a lot, still shines with the coating that makes us love Dragon Age. I actually enjoyed the combat more in DA2, but everything else in the first.
