My impression is that Bioware has had a leadership problems for years. Hearing about the development of Anthem and Veilguard, leadership refuses to make decisions or make them and then reverse them repeatedly. It's only when EA stepped on, for both games, that they crunched and got something playable put together. With Veilguard there was EA meddling as well.
Bioware had great writers, but they never grew past the "Bioware magic" culture, and it sank them.
Dragon Age 2 was way more impressive. The fact that they can make a game with that scale with actually decent story in 18 months was nothing short of phenomenal.
