If you look at it critically, Dragon Age Origins and Awakening are really the only good games in the series.

It went to shit, fast. Now they’re just pandering to the wrong people expecting it to save their game when everyone who was interested in the original has long since moved on.

Only slightly disagree.

Inquisition and Veilguard aren’t bad games. They are each fun in their own ways and cater to certain audiences.

That audience just so happens to not be in any way related to the Dragon Age fandom.
