I haven't actually played any DA game besides Origin, that one I was going off what fans said. The others I believe in full heartedly as big fans of those franchises.

That being said I never hear someone casually bring up Inquisition, it almost seems forgotten, and that game along with many other games suffered from what I like to call the "2014 syndrome". Essentially there were so many big disappointments coming out that year that the few decent games we got ended up being massively overrated (Shadow of Morodor, Dark Souls 2) or were good games that looked greater than they were against all the mediocrity (Wolfenstein The New Order, Far Cry 4, probably Dragon Age). Essentially, 2014 was such a dry year it is kind of self-explanatory why Dragon Age won.

The only games from that year I can see living up to their reputation off the top of my head are Alien Isolation and South Park The Stick of Truth, and that's because both games were more moderate with a lack of boastfulness form their community.

Admits to having only played 1 Dragon Age game, but refers to the franchise as one of the most mismanaged in all of gaming.  Admits to never having played Dragon Age Inquisition, yet claims that it only looked good because of medicore competition.  Sounds legit...

Inquisition was a very good game, and I spent a lot of time playing it and greatly enjoyed it for that reason.  Not because "there was nothing else good to play at the time."  Also, I disagree with your comment regarding Shadow of Mordor "being massively overrated".  The whole reason people are up in arms about Loot Crates being shoehorned into Shadow of War is because of how it messes with the great formula (Nemesis system) of the original game.  If Shadow of Mordor wasn't actually a good game, no one would care about the sequel, because there would have been no foundation to be hyped about.

Did you even read the comment? I'm literally going off the fact that I never hear about Inquisition and that many fans have expressed it as being mediocre.

I'm not judging the game so pointing out some kind of hypocriscy or contradiction when it isn't there isn't doing you any favors. That's why I said "Probably". 

Well Shadow of Mordor being massively overrated has nothing to do with it's sequel. I've played SOM and it's decent at best.
