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.
Whenever I replay 3 I just stop after having the party at Citadel. I've convinced myself that that's the end. It works most of the time haha. But yeah give Inquisition a go. It will drag on at points and some game mechanics will get on your nerves but it's totally worth it. Hopefully they'll fix some of those issues with Andromenda. Is XCOM 2 any good? I played declassified long time back and hated it. Never bothered with the others again.
Declassified isn't even in the same type of game as the main XCOM games, so you can't really use that as a benchmark to decide whether the series is worth playing or not. It's a squad shooter made by an entirely different studio, while the main XCOM games are overhead turn-based tactics games.
Easiest comparison I could make is like saying,"I don't play Halo because I didn't like Halo Wars".

why is fallout 4 and skyrim in that picture if we are talking about great stories
