Everything I have seen on Dragon Age Inquisitions and The Witcher 3 looks fantastic. I think they will both nail it. Of course EA is terrible but they have an amazing engine in Frostbite 3 and gave a lot of freedom to the team for Dragon Age this time. So much from E3 seemed to be what they learned from DA1 (good) and DA2 (bad).
I believe the only reason DA1 was greaet was that bioware was acquired by EA during development. Probably >80% of development have been done already before EA had a significant influence over it. I did not remember any DLC at all from that game, but an expansion which did make an overhaul on the story.
DLCs became common with some games. You could thank the ex-CEO of EA who resigned after being voted as one of the worse companies in two consecutive years or voting season.
