The old Bioware is dead, I'm afraid. Now it's just another studio that EA ruined. You could see a drop in the quality of their games as soon as they got purchased. Almost all, if not all the talent that made it what it was, left a long time ago.
Because there are a finite number of good writers in the world?
They could have the best writers in the world, but with EA's mismanagement they won't have great results. I suggest you familiarise yourself with EA's history of ruining studios they acquired. A lot of Bioware employees left because they were sick of unrealistic deadlines and other forms of pressure. They also fired the writers that created some of the best received characters and stories some time ago.
I have been a fan of BioWare since before the first Baldur's Gate game even released, and have had several discussions with Mr. Gaider in the past. And I am well aware that EA as a company is and has been very troubled. I despaired when the doctors sold their company to EA.
Still, Dragon Age Inquisition was a pretty good game, and, unlike you, I still have hope that the ship will be turned around by the talented and dedicated staff that they do still have.
I also have hope that Larian will continue to improve and repair some of their glaring mistakes with this game.
