It falling short of Inquisition is not surprising. It hasn't gotten glowing reviews. It's been 10 years since Inquisition came out. The economy isn't exactly giving for spendable income for hobbies like gaming. And Bioware has had some missteps. I personally am enjoying the game myself. Is it the weakest of the 4 games in my opinion. But I'm having fun playing it. You can definitely see EA's grubby hands all over it though. They're the ones stifling Bioware.
