People saying that others are questioning this sort of thing because they're 'uncomfortable' aren't really thinking very thoroughly about why someone might not consider this a good idea.
I don't consider this a good idea. It has nothing to do with personally being uncomfortable with boobies.

I think the game is a solid game.
The semi nudity is a questionable issue considering that this company has done away with the g-string, thong, bikini outfits, and boob slings. It doesn't make sense. (Just my two cents. It's not meant to be offensive. )
The Witcher is superior in basically every way.
Hell Skyrim even is, because it's better at being a sandbox while DA:I fumbles at it.
Why not?The TW series may be well written and enjoyable, but is also one that myself and others will never play.
Why not?
The games are too brutal and have no problem depicting nudity and game also lacks a pause feature for combat. Which is pretty reasonable since he's not into games like that.
Ironically, have been receiving some complaints at the same advice for skipping side-quests.
Have no intentions of purchasing TW3, the GoT series, Breaking Bad, or most Quinton T films for these reasons. Yet when it is suggested that others reign in the use of so-called mature materials, or apply the same to their dislike of a gaming mechanic, popping nose joints are heard everywhere.
Except you cannot skip all the side quests without cheating. You can, however, turn Dorian down for sex AND continue your romance. See, you can skip that mature content completely. Or you can romance Josie and not even have it come up at all. You're essentially complaining about something after you've already gotten your way.
Or...you can just not romance anyone.
And let's make this clear.
I don't like DAI's side quests. I do not think they should be removed. I argue in favor of adding richer side quests. If that means some of those side quests have to be removed to add it then so be it. But it's not like DAO didn't have fetch quests. But I could skip them entirely for better side content.
I don't like the wartable. I do not think the wartable should be removed. I just think that some of those wartable missions should have been the side quests.
I think the IQ is a boring goodie two shoes tranquil. I do not think that option should be removed. I think other personalities and character types should have been added beyond headcanon.
Also, It's a good thing you're not buying those games, you know content exist there that you do not like. If I knew what a chore DAI would have been I would have just watched streamers play it and probably wait for the price to drop. But it's far easier to research info about the sex in The Witcher and violence in a QT movie than the side quests in a game.
Why not?
Profanity is reportedly heard too frequently, and nudity and sexual depictions in the game are part of the main story, as opposed to optional side materials. While one may escape cut-scenes, to do so would appear to redact the tale; other cinematics may not be optional.
The lack of Pause makes gameplay too problematic, as I am physically unable to play Action games.
That's very reasonable. Heck, I think one of the beautiful things about the current state of games is that there is so much variety.
As an observation, often it seems like someone saying (without insults like troll or fanboy,) "I don't like what you like" is translated to "I don't like you." Or it becomes personal in some other way. If someone prefers DA:I over The Witcher or Skyrim (or any of the above,) it becomes this whole matter of treating other people like crap. All because many of us have varying interests/wants in our games. 
I think this all goes back down to the problem with the thread: People like different things in games, and it goes for DA:I. Some didn't care for the side quests. Some are pulling their hair out over bugs. Yet others didn't like the f-bomb being used. Some didn't care to see their female Inquisitor topless. The list goes on. I think taking a difference in opinion as personal is a great way to make yourself upset.
Yourself = general term
"Reportedly"? It sounds like youve never seen the game or looked up what it's like. I recommend you look up a playthrough of it amd watch the first couple parts. The story is amazing.Profanity is reportedly heard too frequently, and nudity and sexual depictions in the game are part of the main story, as opposed to optional side materials.

It doesjt have some overflow of profanity. And sex? Well yeah, the player character has a girlfriend from the previous game. What's the problem?
If you cant play action game well then no you cant play it. Its a difficult game involving blocking, dodging and swordfighting reflexively.
Reportedly means I have looked into reviews, posts, and other intel about the games, which I have chosen to skip.
What did this have to do with whether DA:I is the best RPG ever, again?

Absolutely nothing; simply answering the OT question about TW3 I was asked. But at least I can and do play DAI.
I'm sorry there's something keeping you from being able to play action games. A playthrough on Youtube won't really substitute for playing it, but I'd still recommend you watch one anyway.
Witcher series sux, Skyrim sux, please don't bring these up if it is not for insulting them. Thanks.
DAI is the most interactive children book I've played. Not the best script though, story is more clichèd than baby books.

Yeah, Skyrim sucked so hard that BioWare went down the Skyrim path.
I find the content of The Witcher (1 & 2) much less offensive than DA:I.
I'm another that you can count out in regards to holding this game in high esteem. It really isn't for the lack of trying. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but the game always ends up boring me after a while. As many have said there is just way too many hours spent running around doing dull tasks. I think they should have cut 50 hours or so of fetch quests and tightened the experience. Also they shoukd have treated crafting mats like dA2 where you found resources a few times and we're done. How many hours of people's lives were wasted watching someone bend over to pick up an elf root? To me, entertainment that is not.
Also the plot really fell apart by the time you get to Slyhold. At least with the breach I felt more urgency and the world felt more dire. Thereafter it meandered along as a group of 4 people solved all of the worlds inconsequential mysteries and problems. Yawn. I think ME2 and 3 did a far better job of keeping the experience tight and the story moving along.
There are some things I liked about DAI. I love Leliana so seing her again was nice, as was seeing Morrigan and Cullen. I liked the judgments and war table. I liked the plot through skyhold and the Ball quest. The rest felt absurd.
Speaking I'd absurd, it seems like most threads with heavy Elhanan presence really go astray. He clearly is ... I guess I'll say, unique in his approach and it really doesn't matter if this one person will play Witcher 2 or watch Game of Thrones. I do see more than one thread ultimately devoted to him keeping arguments going and being substantially about his personal tastes which also is of no interest to me. I don't really need 7 pages of one opinion.
April fools joke yes?
I don't know if you have heard but the best RPG since BG is Pillars. Now that game is the real thing. DA:I is just Bioware having a laugh while raking in some easy dosh.
Yeah, Skyrim sucked so hard that BioWare went down the Skyrim path.
Skyrim sold 20 million. Nothing good sells 20 million. To sell 20 million it has to be accessible to dumb people and people who wouldn't spend their time to read tow lines in the page of a book which both Skyrim and DAI are. A zombie could play and finish both, probably better and faster than most younglings in their late teens.

Certainly not the best RPG I've ever played.
It just sadly/hopefully has the foundation to be, after all patches and DLC, at least one of the best RPGs I've ever played.
Foundation. There's so much STRUCTURE here for greatness, but its only half achieved in core DAI and the JoH DLC only seems to address some things, not fully advance most/all things.
So much COULD be done, in extensive and cool ways (even if with a pricetag), but whether Bioware will do it is a whole other matter.
So far I consider the game good to very good (compared to DA2's mediocre to good, and DAO's very good to great). That's fine. Glad I've been playing it. Now devs, I hope you have more to come to really kick ass with - especially in gameplay and story (art/graphics are largely more than fine!).
DAI will never be my outright favorite RPG though. I'm alright with that. I just have several things in my head that I think DAI COULD do, and I think would be fantastic if it does do them. Core DAI itself may very well be a warmup for more. Or not. JoH and recent patches indicate things could go either way, heh.
