Same though. Dragon Age is probably one of my favorite franchises... Actually prefer it over Ass Effect.
Even enjoyed Dragon Age 2 for what it was... And absolutely loved Origins and Inquisition.

After Andromeda though... Many had hoped that Anthem was going to be the game that redeemed them... But other than Inquisition, Bioware has had allot of "drama" with every title since Mass Effect 3.
I mean... As soon as I discovered Anthem was going to take the same road as Destiny... I lost a massive chunk of interest with it anyway.

As much shit as Inquisition gets, it was a good game and more importantly for bioware it was successful for EA along with the two before it even if they have given up on ME with Andromeda hopefully they haven't given up on DA. 

Anthem... Oh lad, that was going to be a failure in any good are fans eyes no matter what. They would have done so much better with it had they focused on copying destiny instead of trying to bring single player RPG elements into it. Should have been honest and refined their loiter shooter. 

As much as Andromeda gets roasted. It sold well over 3 million copies in the US alone. Despite that EA absorbed Bioware Montreal. I think BIoware is cooked. The backlash for Anthem is worse than Andromeda and it doesn't have the excuse of being made by Bioware's B Team. Edmonton is Bioware's best studio. I'm not sure how they survive this. Bioware's strength is single player titles and EA wants to do nothing but "live service" games at this point. Even if Anthem succeeded it, I was very doubtful that we'd get proper Dragon Age given EA's stance on sprawling single player experiences. By all account the Star Wars game that Viceral and Amy Hennig were working on was top notch and EA basically canned it because they can't monetize the crap out of single player games.
