The writing was on the wall for a while Bioware was in trouble. Especially when respawn were allowed to make jedi survivor when Bioware are the KOTOR (and SWTOR) guys who had decades of experience with star wars.
Two single player game releases, 7 years apart, plagued by horrible writing. Yeah, I'm shocked they survived 2 more years after Veilguard. And it's not like Inquisition was a good game. It just wasn't the dumpster fire that came afterwards and looks better only in retrospective, but it was just the last step on a downtrend that continued into a freefall.
One of the biggest advantage Origins had is that they weren’t anticipating a sequel, so they can go all out in terms of choices and how the story goes.

To be fair, they botched their last two big games. Not many studios stay open when you have a decade of failures.
