Not to mention fake inventory and gear screens that have no use and reason to be there anyway, since these games only have junk items and nothing really like some older rpgs that have unique gear and items that actually are usefull to keep or upgrade not to mention part of the world/lore.
Zoomers like grinding. Numbers go up.

Is the game "just" shit with shit writing? I haven't seen any hilarious bug compilations that normally show up for this kind of crap, just awful writing and awful game mechanics.

My prediction was correct: 5.1 + 2.8 / 2 = 3.95

Do you think Bioware's decline is stable or cyclical?

I think DA2 score is misleading. Because it is still a good Bioware rpg with interesting story. They made combat more action oriented, but it feels tactical on Nightmare. You need to plan builds, combos to survive.

I believe that ME3 was the real start of the decline.

Stable, even if you wanted to suggest it was cyclical, it's a constant downward trend that never recovers. Besides that, I'd suggest that some of those ratings are higher than warranted.
