People lost faith in Bioware?

Yes, and I was one of them. Since EA absorbed them, they simply haven't been the same and started dumbing down their games in favour of the proverbial "broader audience". The first Dragon Age was great imo (but the second one was a terrible action game) and the Mass Effect series had massive potential but the first one had some glaring flaws and issues and the sequels became 3rd person shooters with cover mechanics that also happened to sport some RPG elements, plus the story really isn't all it's cracked up to be, run-of the mill sci-fi plot and all. The characters were pretty cool though, but that has always been one of Bioware's main strengths, which they don't seem to have lost.
As for the question posed by the OP: hard to say, I surely hope so, I know what they're capable of at their best.

That's a reasonable complaint for DA2 but I still think the Mass Effect series was great. I think Dragon Age inquisition has been given enough time in development for it to be a really great RPG. Hopefully all the extra time it has been given gave bioware enough time to make it a truly great game and from what I have seen and heard about it is definitely leaning towards being great.

Thankfully, with Dragon Age 3; it would appear that Bioware has woken up and remembered that they actually make RPG's and not shooters or action games. They still have the talent and likely more resources than ever, certainly more than they did in the golden age (Baldur's Gate I and II) so there is still major potential for amazing RPG's here.

I think finishing the Mass Effect trilogy has given them plenty of time to make the expansive Dragon Age world they have wanted to create. The fact that you can play it both more action oriented and as a strategic RPG shows that they are trying to make sure there is something there for everyone. Really excited to see the finally product in 8 days!
