Because they themselves will never admit their work was anything less than amazing. It's just their definition of "amazing" includes tearing down everything that people loved about Dragon Age Origins.
They will never admit that their standards of "good" or "ideal" do not match up with the general public's, and almost completely oppose them. Any attempt to shift the blame is seen as an attack on their conception of good and ideal.
Really? They couldn’t have said “you know this lecture about non binary crap isn’t needed”. Or as Greg Owen said, they should’ve given the player the option to call it stupid
Doubt. 15 years ago they made the expansion pack to Origins, in which they introduced Anders who would go on to be one of the Wokest characters in gaming to this day and he was there before Woke was even coined.
And just a short year later in 2011 was DA2 which is so extremely Left in all its politics that it only gets forgotten by Inquisition and now this game being comical in their Wokeness.
People are very nostalgic for DA:O and forget that it was not the only game in the franchise.

Sure it was. The series began and ended with Origins. Absolutely nothing came afterward. NOTHING.
Speaking seriously for a moment though, you are correct. DAO was made during the 2000s, when the design philosophy of Baldur's Gate was still fresh in the minds of its devs and a lot of which was before the philosophy of Mass Effect and EA poisoned the company. By the time DAO was released over 15 years ago, change was in the wind in Bioware, which was why the game's lead designer, Brent Knowles, left and the subsequent DA games saw a significant drop in quality. Personally, I suspect it was not an amicable departure. Wokies are not tolerant of opposing opinions and ideologies, and all the shade they threw at Origins in the leadup to DA2's release on top of the sweeping changes made to the series' aesthetics and themes leads me to believe they were deliberately sabotaging it and everything Knowles envisioned for the franchise back when he was in charge.
It went out of its way to promote trender rot in a sword and sorcery game, rofl. It's immersion breaking and corrupt. They didn't do it in a clever way either, like with Ramna or something. It was complete humorless trash by the creatively bankrupt.
I mean that statement is 100% true. They do not possess the necessary ability, skill and passion to make a better Dragon Age.

Narcissists can't admit they made a mistake.
Fifteen years ago you could have, though.
Fifteen years ago, most of those dudes still had their dicks.
Man, Current Year is so fucking shitty.
I want a refund.
They still do. They're just calling themselves women now.
Is that literally or figuratively speaking
Likely a combination of either/both.

yeah, and that's the problem
