I do not doubt that there are people that love this game. Great for you....just curious as to why you are here on the forums, instead of in the game playing....like I would be if the game was performing for me as I expected.
Because there are less computers on which the games run then people in the house wanting to play, so we are taking turns. And no other game interests me presently 
I voiced some complains, but I absolutely love DAI. (I'm at my first playthrough and already planning my second.)
One of my problems with the game is the short main story and the crappy hairstyles. I also wish there would be more romance options. Like more kissing scenes instead of always the same one. And more interaction with my romance partner.
But beside that, I'm one of the lucky ones with just a handful of bugs. I had 4 or 5 game crashes til now. And one of Cassandra's Cutscenes with Daniel in the castle of Caer Oswin loaded for 10 minutes. They were talking and suddenly my screen went black and the loading circle appeared. But Cassandra und Daniel were still talking.
I love the graphics and I love exploring the different areas in the game. My favorite place is the Emerald Graves. It's so beautiful. Can't wait to start another game with a human male mage this time.

I don't really trust Metacritic, I still post negative reviews on Blizzard games that I haven't played simply because I dislike Blizzard. Haven't played Warlords of Goatmen yet and I still gave it a 3.2 simply because you still can't make a non-beefy human male.
Get off your high horses and smell the air. Jesus. It is beyond me how some people find movement or combat to be lacking. Compared to your belowed DA:O, combat and movement is leaps and bounds better. Close to all the mechanics of DA:O felt forced, tiresome and borderline annoying. The inventory was, admittedly, well put together, but very few things besides that actually worked well. The RPG-elemtents were undoubtedly top notch, but the gameplay was at times painful - at least to me.
It's easy to forget though, 'cause as with a lot of other things, memory is a ******. Our brains tend to keep the good parts closer, and put that bad things further behind.
To me, it seems a large group of people forget a major component as to why DA:O is looked to with such high regard: it was the first Dragon Age. I've played NWN and BG, but when DA:O came out, it was something new and brought new things to the table. It's the same thing with World of Warcraft. More or less EVERY MMORPG made after WoW are superior games in terms of mechanics, interface and even storylines. However, it took other developers too long to put out their games, and by time the time they came out, it wasn't new anymore. If Dragon Age: Inquisition was the first Dragon Age game in the franchise, I'm pretty sure most of todays critics would wet themselves with excitement throughout the entirety of the game.
Would you like to tell us when and why people started hating Bioware? Because before Dragon Age 2 was released everyone loved them.
Since it became a symbol of "SJW's creeping influence over the gaming industry"

This doesn't even begin to address the problems with the game. You've made created problems that didn't exist and then wrote a post to address those issues, without actually handling the real objections and criticisms of the game for PC users.

Nah, when DA:O was first released all anybody was talking about was "spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate"
I think the fact that the game is so new is contributing to the radically split user reviews. Why? Because the game is so long, most of the people who really like it (whether they outnumber the people who hate it or not) are still playing and-or haven't finished the game yet. So they aren't sitting down to write about how much they like it. On the other hand, the people who have issues with the game mechanically or thematically have stopped playing this game that they don't enjoy and have the time to write about how much they don't like it.
Why do I think that? All the official reviewers from sites and critics and such are majorly positive. What's the difference? All the official sources have FINISHED PLAYING THE GAME BECAUSE THEY GOT REVIEW COPIES AND HAD THE TIME TO COMPLETE IT FIRST.
I've also heard rumors that people are making multiple accounts to complain. Just rumors, mind.
I found few to no problems with DA:I. Sure, the main story could've been a bit longer - I'll gladly admit that. Oh, and the Dragons are PAINFULLY easy to beat. The inventory is a tad bit annoying with the tooltips. Besides that, I have no other complaints. The gameplay is fluent, the story involves both intrigue and excitement and combat is entertaining.
I can understand why people are disappointed with this game it is buggy the main story is to short and not that great. There are to many side quests it is a good game but could have been better.
Uh huh.

I hated ME3, and was disappointed with DA2. However with that said, let's not act like some people didn't immediately give DA:I bad reviews because of a grudge they hold against Bioware. They ruined their reputation after ME3. 0s were popping up on the User Scores the moment the game came out.
The 3 reviews that you posted came at a time where Bioware was revered by gamers and had a very good reputation. Bioware's reputation has plummeted since then, so whether DA:I is a good game or not, it certainly contributed to the low user score of DA:I. Let's not forget the Metacritic is a place where you can just casually give the game a 0, list off one flaw, and call it a day, and the website will actually register your vote. It's highly flawed.
It is also worth noting that on Gamefaqs, out of 485 votes, the game is a 4.35/5.

Also, the constant dickriding of DA:O is part of the problem. The majority of the complaints consists of comparisons to DA:O.

Dragon Age 2 having a comparable user-score to Dragon Age Inquisition is a graphic example of why user reviews are at least as untrustworthy as professional reviews.

Well, Bioware has been caught padding the ratings of their games before, so I guess that sort of evens things out.

*Snort* You say that as if they're the ONLY ones doing it

Well, DA:O is also the only universally acclaimed game in the series. So...

Oh, i'm pretty sure that all of the publishers try to pad the user score of their games on metacritic with numerous 10/10 ratings.

What do you mean by universally acclaimed?
Not like everyone thought it was Bioware's best game. Its the only Bioware game that I know of that features mods that remove such a huge proportion of content. Closest scale was Taris removal for KoToR. The game was pretty grindy, though not as bad as NWN in that aspect.

Not really. One or a few devs doing it, doesn't offset dozens or even a hundred people giving the game 0s. I'm not defending the actions of what the dev did for DA2, but let's get real here.

Well, the user-rating score on Metacritic sounds about right to me. A user score of 5.5 is what the PC version of the game deserves.

As of right now the game is a solid 8 for me. Two of the issues being the PC controls and the many bugs still present. However Bioware is looking into those and in the respect the game will improve with patching. The last remaining issue can't be fixed which is the glaring lack of main story content. All that aside though, it's still a very good game to me, and will probably become great after a couple patches. Hopefully the next DLC will be very story heavy.

Universally acclaimed? Indeed. Tediously unbalanced at times, resulting in suddenly being ambushed by mobs WAY above your level, with no significance to the story at all? That too. As previously stated, stale and tiresome mechanics. DA:O wasn't even close to being without faults, as is DA:I. I'm not saying DA:I is better than DA:O, however, it's not nearly as bad as some here make it out to be. Also, DA:I has huge potential for a substantial expansion or a couple of sizeable DLC's.
Also, I find it borderline offensive how entitled some people here is. Approximately one half of gamers worldwide play on consoles, yet some fail to understand this. "I can't edge-scroll on my Master Race PC" - BOO ****** HOO.
What I wanted was return to roots, not as much as gameplay but the storytelling, which didn´t happen.

Basically this, though I didn't really notice any problems with the PC controls - luckily! 
You're joking, right?
trolling would be more accurate
