DAI lets me make my own character. I can play as four different races, two genders, choose from a wide variety of skin tones and I can romance both men and women regardless of my own character's gender.
It does not matter to me how neat The Witcher apparently is in other ways, I have no interest in playing Geralt for hundreds of hours.
Get back to me when CDPR make a game where I don't have to play as bloody Geralt of Rivia.
I like the way you think.

Soon. Cyberpunk 2077 has to come out eventually.

That list is mostly preferences, not facts. A few are, but most of what you listed is subjective or not even really comparable because different universes.
Different universes does not excuse bad writing or poor storytelling or badly designed cities or shoulder glues or DRM or expensive DLCs or an incomplete story (DAI essentially finishes on a cliffhanger and you have to get a paid DLC to complete the story)
Sounds like there's a lot of fanboy/girl-ing and butthurt going on here.
A lot of what you've said can't be accurately measured in terms of quality, and comes down to personal preference/favouritism.
Novigrad is bigger than Val Royeaux. That is measurable.
TW3 had more free DLCs than DAI. You can count that.
TW3 have better hair than DAI. You can observe that.
TW3 have more diversity in character height and weight compared to DAI. You can see that.
TW3's paid DLCs are cheaper than DAI's paid DLCs. You can observe this.
TW3's paid DLCs offer more content and more quests compared to DAI's paid DLCs. You can count and observe this.
TW3 does actually allow the player to experience what it is like to be a Witcher. Once again, you can see this. On the other hand DAI, fails at allowing the player to experience what it is like to be the Inquisitor due to the pointless offline MMO style quests. Once again, you can observe this.
Ciri is a stronger and more powerful female than any female protagonist we have had so far. Yennefer is stronger and more powerful than Morrigan. You can observe the difference is power levels.
TW3's Elves do not look like they have had their shoulders glued together and they do not look like they have an oversized head on top of a skinny body, which anatomically does not make sense. You can observe this.
TW3's Gwent is playable whereas DAI's Wicked Grace is not. You can see this, its not objective.
TW3's horses steer better and you can have banters on horseback. DAI's mounts steer awfully by comparison and party banter is disabled on horseback. This can be objectively observed.
TW3 is open world and DAI is not. Therefore, TW3 having more content than DAI is a fact, not an opinion.
TW3 explicitly shows the social issues that is plaguing the Witcher world in all its dark and grittiness. DAI does not do this and instead resorts to implied text references, which is a shame because DA was willing to be dark and gritty once with Broodmothers and what have you. You can objectively observe this.
Like I said, I can keep going but objectively, TW3 makes DAI look like a joke. Poland > Canada when it comes to RPG video games.

Half of what you listed again is subjective, and the rest isn't what I was referring to by different universes making them not really comparable.
And no it didn't. The vanilla game ended with a proper conclusion not a cliffhanger. The villain is defeated, the world is saved. Yeah it has a teaser with Solas and Mythal, but most games that are part of a connected series do that.
One of these decades...
Well, they are done with The Witcher 3 now so now they can focus on a good franchise.
So having more content for the same price or lesser price is subjective ? Having anti-consumer business practice is subjective ? Badly designed bodies and hair is subjective ?
People like you who are content with mediocrity is why Bioware will keep pumping out one average politically correct game after another.
No, yes, yes in that order. More content for less money is better(I did mention a few of the things you listed are true). Anti-Consumer business practice is subjective since people can see business practices differently. Body and hair design quality is absolutely subjective.
Ah, personal attacks. How original. We're done here.

Left a like, because whilst I enjoyed TW3 overall, easily my personal 2015 GOTY, creating my own character is still my preference where possible. Probably have more hours logged in PoE than either W3 or DAI, playing different characters and character types. LOL
I'd love to play an elf, dwarf or Sorcerer in the Witcher universe.
Like I said, I can keep going but objectively, TW3 makes DAI look like a joke. Poland > Canada when it comes to RPG video games.
So, you think that because a game from one country makes a game from another country look like a joke, the former must be better than the latter when it comes to RPGs? You do know there is more than 1 The Witcher game, and more than 1 Dragon Age game, don't you?
While I can't speak for most BioWare games - of which there are many - I can pretty confidently say that Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 were excellent examples of RPGs.
Get back to me when CDPR make a game where I don't have to play as bloody Geralt of Rivia.
Cyberpunk 
That game being based on a PnP game is expected to be a lot more open with character creation. No idea what year/decade/century it's going to be released though. LOL

You are not making any sense whatsoever in your effort to defend DAI which is a mediocre average game compared to TW3.
I mean by all means, please do tell me how DAI is better than TW3. Other than the three I will list, you will have nothing else.
1) The ability to play as any race, any class (except Dwarf mages, because its not possible lore wise) and any of the two sexes.
2) The ability to control up to 4 people in a party.
3) The ability to have any form of sexuality romances.
Other than this 3, DAI is worse than TW3 in every way.
All those things are what make me come back to BioWare games again and again. They are why I love them and find so much replay value. Crucially they require a hell of a lot of development resources which CDPR didn't have to bother with. I really think you're underestimating quite how much. Also you don't just "control up to four people", but choose three from nine to go with you, who all have different interactions with one another.
There's a fundamental difference in the way The Witcher and DA games work at their core, so while they may seem comparable, they actually aren't so much. I'm happy for you that you have found a game that you love, but it doesn't appeal to me because I don't want to be Geralt.
Im gonna have to make a list of the games I have to play incase DA:4 flops...
* If Bioware is the most awesome company ever, they'll make KOTOR4 (doubt it though
+1 for Kotor 4, even better because that could mean a real Kotor 3, instead of just TOR.

It was the original poster, Addictress who decided to compare TW3 and DAI, even though they are like apples and oranges. Somehow when she does that and she favors DAI, its okay but when I do this comparison, one that Addictress started, and say that TW3 > DAI, its somehow problematic ?
Ridiculous and preposterous.

No, I don't agree with the OP's premise in terms of comparing it to TW3. I do agree with the idea that DAI could've been improved if they'd hadn't developed for PS3 and Xbox 360, though.It was the original poster, Addictress who decided to compare TW3 and DAI, even though they are like apples and oranges.

Well, everything better when you drop the filthy peasantry and focus on the glorious master race. You get better graphics, better framerate and better game overall.

Are you a member of the PC master race? Becuase I am, and I got Skryim and DAI on my computer...
Yep. Glorious PC Master Race. The best part about being the member of the master race is the mods. I can actually play as a Male Elf in DAI because there is a mod that fixes their anorexic shoulder glues.

My Mod Manager doesn't have DA on it... Yet... Becuase I have no GOSH DANG MOUSE. But anyhow, if I were to go back to mod DAI; I'd make my Male Lavellan actually look like a man rather then a... Femine looking person...
Here is the mod :- http://www.nexusmods...tion/mods/605/?
You couldn't even pay me to play the Witcher, whilst Inquisition is my favourite game in existence.
