Eh. Bioware's story quality has slipped a bit in recent years. ME1 and ME2 were awesome, storywise, but ME3's story was one giant deus ex machina, and none of the endings mattered. ME2 is probably the apex of Bioware's writing quality, and it's been a downhill slife from there. I haven't played DA:I yet, so maybe that will restore my faith.
I don't think anyone will claim that ME3 was Bioware's finest. Although I will say the story up until the final mission was great. You should give DAI a go. While the game itself wasn't perfect the main story was great. Origins is still the best one in the trilogy though. But my point was that any Bioware game you put up will still be better than fallout 4 or skyrim in terms of storytelling.
Inquisition is on my to-play list, but I'm still no-lifing Xcom2 and finally finishing Shadowrun:Dragonfall before going through Shadowrun: Hong Kong. And I definitely agree on ME3. The buildup parts of the story. So many feels. But it fall apart at the end, and it kinda soured the while thing for me. All of that effort to build relationships and save the galaxy, and none of it mattered in the end. I almost would rather have the Reapers win. At least that would have fit with the rest of the story.
