Coincidentally, DA:I just went up as Epic's free game this week. I still haven't played any of them, though, despite having owned Origins for a while.

assuming BioWare isn't capable of making great games anymore.

It's less that they aren't capable and more that they aren't allowed. EA's done its usual thing of taking a studio people like and forcing them to chase profitable trends regardless of how well the studio can be expected to handle that style of game, hoping to cash in on the combination of brand recognition and pandering to the flavour of the month. Toss in some unrealistic deadlines (both in general and because they're working in unfamiliar territory) that mean the devs are under unsustainable amounts of pressure and have to rush to cobble something together, and you've got a recipe for games that just aren't very good.
