I very HIGHLY DOUBT that this is because of EA. This is a clear trait of Larian games, as DOS2 clearly proves this. In the open world companions are stagnant cardboard cut outs to your actions until you go to camp where they <magically> sorta interact.
Man, Pathfinder Wotr is shaping up to be amazing in that.... and many more aspects lol.

I am still salty about missing the train when it comes to supporting PF: WotR. I have lurked around their wiki page and every time it is mentioned I am there with my opera glasses like: "O o O". Can't wait! \o/

Meanwhile, imma give Solasta, Tyranny, Wasteland 3 and BG2 a shot (while lurking about here as usual). :] And I been considering giving DA:I a try (since I now finished DA:O), but I've had a lot of warnings that DA:I seems to be mostly disappointing in a lot of aspects- so it is on lower priority than the titles mentioned before.
Don't rely on people telling you DA:I is bad. Keep in mind that people who dislike something are far more likely to voice their opinion than people who like something, and they also tend to be more loud and vocal about their dislike. DA:I is a very nice game. It is an action RPG so you have to accept its action elements. But the things that make an RPG are all there: great story, characters, companions, dialogue, choices and consequences, etc. The only reason why I find it hard to replay is that it is so very big, and the vast areas have sometimes been filled in with fluff filler content, a solid argument for why bigger (i.e. open world) is not always better.
