There seems to be a lot of passing the buck here foജr who is responsible for making such a terrible game.

If the higher ups just wanted to make money they could have just ordered an Origins remake with modern graphics, I'𒁃m sure it would have been a financial success and well received by longtime DA fans. Or even a direct Inquisition sequel, similar art style and just bring back the same popular characters. Literally anythin💟g other than the game they released would have been a better option.

The story should have led direꦍctly on from the end of trespasser.

They tried too hard to make something different and attract new players instead of realising that the majority of people who wꩵould enjoy the fourth game of a series are people who already enjoyed and were invested in the story of the previous three games. I mean there's a LOT of issues with the writing beyond just that but that's the crux of it.
