About the comparison to Dao - bg3 would be lucky to be like Dao.
Eh i've never been a huge fan of Dragon Age series, I felt it's lore has always been one of the weakest of the fantasy games especially compared to this one's or even TES. They rarely go deeper beyond the devines this, the chantry that, mages vs templars, which frankly aren't even that interesting of concepts themselves to warrant such focus, especially when both factions weren't that deep, and this didn't change in the sequels, the lore still didn't expand much. TES has pages upon pages of lore for every race, every specific daedra, their histories, and DA always seem to be casual fantasy only lightly ever touching on it's lore, very forgettable and faint.
Ultimately as far as Bioware goes, Mass Effect's lore and world building was handled far better than that of Dragon Age's.
