If they just released what people were expecting (and wanting): Dreadwolf, a true Dragon Age sequel - then it would've sold by the figurative truckload and they'd be riding the money boat right now.

But no. The reality-disconnected decision makers decreed that it had to be ultra sanitised, corporate, Disney-esque slop. Not an awful game, sure, but absolutely not a Dragon Age game.

I have been talking a lot with a friend of mine about DAV and Dreadwolf.

I really think that even if they released the Dreadwolf, the version from the artbook, they probably won't made a profit, the game could sell well like Inquisition but not like a Cyberpunk/The Witcher 3/BG3 and for the amount of time and resource they used sales like inquisition is not enough. They blew their chances with the 10 years of delays, the IP was not in a good place.

Only a miracle, a game on the same level as BG3 for Bioware to make a profit again.

I think Bioware's future is now entirely riding on Mass Effect 4. Which...does not inspire confidence.

It is my first dragon age game. I have only played a couple hours. While I enjoy it while playing, I feel like I have to force myself to play.

You should play the original if you can, it really is the best Dragon Age game. Steam has a guide to get it up and running on modern machines.

Also, were you able to follow the story of Veilguard? I haven't played it yet (and honestly I might never) but I got the impression that it was pretty tied to the story of Inquisition.

Pardon? Do you mean: Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain: The Game?

The game that has the antagonists named Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain??

Where everyone seems to know the secrets of

Tap for spoiler

Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain

and how to defeat said villains named Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain??????!!

Yeah ngl, I don't really care for the more Elvish focus that Inquisition (and now I guess Veilguard) has. The best part of DA was always the mix of all the lores clashing.
