Pillars of Eternity is the bestest game ever! One of our cats had scrofula and she lept onto the keyboard during game play and was cured instantly. My cousin's husband's bald dentist was playing PoE and regrew all of his hair! Our niece's teacher was so impressed by her game play that our niece graduated high honours on the spot!
Fact.
Any of these areas, perhaps?

No, I just grew up in a small town.

Fact.
in the DAO during first 30 minutes you learn about the world, you also may manage to decide destiny of several characters with a possible outcry in the future, experience sense of defeat, betrayal and loss.
in DAI you climb a god damned mountain for 40 minutes...
and PoE is just a better game than DAI. Just like DOS is.
it's because DAI is a trash game.

"It cures baldness."
I'd put that on the box tbh.
I don't think I really even care which game is better, both are doing completely different things. I wouldn't want to lose either. XD
Not that metacritic matters but 2014 was a horrible year for gaming. Buggy big games everywhere.
Metacritic is not a good source of users' reaction on a game. Couple of thousands votes per game is nothing. I prefer to trust some more reliable sources, for example PSN users' likes and ratings on PSN itself.
Metacritic user rating tells that Civilization: Beyond Space, Borderlands: The Presequel and The latest Call of Duty were mediocre.
It was true.
Another reason not to dismiss Metacritic.

Oh ****? You're still alive!
Yes.
lol Metacritic.
Then again I've played both games so the only opinion that actually matters to me in deciding which game I think is better is my own.
Plus Dragon Age saw a pretty significant change in the style of the game since Origins so quality of Inquisition aside, it probably pissed off a lot more people than PoE did.

You're telling me the first game in a series introduces the world to you, while the one that takes an hour just to set the world up before you playing, while also being the third game in the series doesn't? Wow. And you can't decide the fate of anyone. Except for one person in one origin.
I haven't played DA:I since December, and even I find that kind of logic asinine.
PoE is also better than DA:O. Mostly for the same reasons it's better than DA:I.
Ocarina of Time has a 99, therefore it's objectively better than anything 'cause a bunch of enlightened critics said so.
Gah, I hate number rating scales...
I realized there is Metascore for actresses too!

BTW, if that Majority say this is a great game, then it is a great game:
Yeah, but they said Bioshock Infinite and GTAV were great games, while saying Alpha Protocol and Pathologic were terrible ones
Metacritic is broken. The uses reviews are a clusterfuck
I know, right?
But the conclusive score is kinda trust-able.
For example
is a remake of Cities XL, which is no good. The user rating is 1.5 which is too sad, but it shows how disappointing the game is.
On the contrary there is
You should have the art of interpretation of ratings!

I don't waste my time on exceptions.

I could say the very same thing.

Im personally a fan of the Jack the Ripper rating scale. IE: Apolypse Now is 12 dead prostitutes, while AMerican sniper is two dead prostitutes
And second of all this game is beeing idolized because of nostalgia goggles, don't get me wrong it is a great game. But lets not get carried away on all fronts just because it triggered some good childhood memories.
Well, I tried playing both Baldur's Gate games around release and didn't make it even an hour into either of them. I retried playing them again and again over the years, the last try being made about two years ago after I bought them on GOG. I made it a little further, but not much. That was about when I also tried Planescape: Torment for the first time, which I finished after a rather excessive playthrough and loved.
I'm now about 15 hours into PoE, and I'm enjoying it immensly. Do I think it's the bestest ever? No, but I still don't find too many things I dislike. No nostalgia and no childhood memories involved.

Both Critic score and User scores are around 9/10 which means it is quite innovative, brilliant and well done.

And every once in a while you get an Out of the Park Baseball 2007 on PC with a critic rating of 96 and a user rating of 2.6

so people hate baseball?
Superman 64 could have a score of 100%, I still wouldn't like the game or consider it the best video game ever. Also, this game is for PC only while Inquisition is more accessible on multiple platforms, which explains why it got so many different scores everywhere. I don't know what the actual sales numbers are for PoE and I personally don't care. What matters is what you enjoy, the score is just superficial. If you like the game, good. I guess one of the few people who's tired with scores to describe something. The value of a video game shouldn't be measured with a score in my strict opinion. You either like it or you don't. 
If the Metacritic helps selling the game to the right persons, then all the power to it.
I enjoy both DAI and PoE immensely. Though they have the same sort of roots, they are rather different today. But both are very good games, and both could be better.
As for Metacritic, no it's not worthless. You can understand the scores.
But the scores are not comparable between games.
The thing is, that those who purchased PoE, first knew what they were buying, secondly weren't disappointed. On the contrary, they were delighted. And every time that happens, the game gets great ratings. Not so strange, really. If you think about it.
The case of DA:I is more multifaceted. No one knew exactly what they were buying. And despite the fact that DA:I follows DA2, rather than DA:O, a lot of people want to punish DA:I for what it's not, rather than judge what it is. That pulls down the score.
Overall, I have to say that DA:I is fairly the better game. Thing is, though, PoE excels in the design of those parts that DA:I wants to gloss over.
Two great games. But at the same time also two sad examples of that the RPG genre really haven't evolved since BG. Not in its own right.
That's really the thing, RPG-specific gameplay and content haven't moved forward. At all.
You're telling me
then i suggest you to replay... let say dwarven origin. good example when your character can - kill a guy(or not to), have threesome, kick some ass in the arena, make an example of bad politic, being accused in a murder and escape.
all of that in just one origin, first 30 minutes.
when in DAI your character is surrounded by people with IQ bellow 80, enduring a conversation with some priest (badly written conversation by the way), you as player will also suffer from horrible animation of the characters at the same time. and you also should travel to the mountain top in order to close some portal because you are the chosen one(!111). amazing.
killing few demons here and there, closing minor portals. for 40 minutes. even Varric can't save you from this amount of facepalms.
And this trash is GOTY. And this is just first 40 minutes, when the best part is ahead of you. And by that i mean fetch quests, boring main quest line.
I had this feeling that DAI was supposed to be a MMO game. But EA become aware of the TESO's failure, and they turned MMO game into SP game.
