DA:O was the good one. Rest I didn't even touch.

Whatever this is needs to be burned at the stake.

DA2 you spent the entire game going back and forth over the same tiny zones. DA:I had a big world with a lot to explore. Both of them had pretty decent combat, but neither was great and I prefered the combat in DA:I.

DA:I with all the DLCs is cheap or free, and worth playing if people didn't.

DAO is the only one I go back and play once in a while, it’s still fun. DA2 I read about all the changes and it sounded terrible so never played it. DAI I got like 70% done and quit, the repetition was too much.

I did not like Dragon Age: Inquisition. Its combat was fucking weird and felt disconnected.

DA:O as others have said is the best one. From a story and combat POV.

I did enjoy DA:2 (except the endings) and played it multiple times. I know the claustrophobic nature of its limited scenery is a downer for people. I enjoyed seeing the perspective of a city in that world undertaking changes due to the events of the first game.

Combat was pretty bad in DA:I.

It was especially noticable in multiplayer where you only controlled 1 character and didn't have micromanaging to distract you from how awful it was

I was disappointed with DA:2 when it first came out, but I did a replay a few years ago and liked it better. It has big shoes to fill, being DA:O's successor, and at that, it did a poor job. But, it was a decent game and story in that universe.

2 would have been decent as an expansion, it just kind of fails as a full game.

Biggest issue with DA2 was it felt like a fucking video game, with the mobs warping in in waves. There was zero room for positioning strategy in that game like the first one had. DA:I had the same action emphasis issues, but at least the mobs didn't spawn in in waves like you were playing a 1980s arcade game. Also, some of the ending parts were massively retarded, lacking anything resembling real choice. The game had some real sloggy parts to it, as well. DA:I kind of improved on that with the semi open world and the war table (good idea, execution with mandatory waits was retarded) making things less on rails. DA:O was a great game for its time, but it has not mechanically aged well and the story is not especially better than the later titles. I preferred it over 2 by a longshot and DA:I remains the most replayable one for me, at least.

Degens infest the non-technical departments like PR, Marketing, Sales, and--most importantly--HR, then they spread their disease to every other part of the company. BioWare has been overrun for ages now, but you can watch it happening in real-time with CDPR.

Yeah and the video game industry is so incestuous that the same pack of gay locusts move on from one company to the next until they lose a round of shotgun kazoo or get promoted into positions like that chopper was to keep them away from the productive developers. See also Last of Us 2.
