Take this game and compare it to Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 was a technical mess at launch, DA:V seems pretty good in that department.
Cyberpunk 2077 has an interesting character creator with controversially full frontal, DA:V doesn't.
Cyberpunk 2077 action gunplay isn't anything special, DA:V action swordplay isn't anything special either.
I think it comes down to writing. Cyberpunk 2077 is a much more inspiring game. DA:V is just boring.
