Or maybe because these enthusiasts of the genre is stuck in the past and refuse to accept the evolution of the genre. That they want the same old game that does the same things over and over. There like old grandpa, always trying to talk about the "good ol' days".
Maybe more people like DAI over DOS because perhaps it does a lot more things better. Ever get it through your head?
Making up petty excuses I see.
Furthermore, I am not only referring to RPGcodex. I also include what one of the biggest and most powerful gaming communities out there, which from what I have seen, holds D:OS as THE best RPG. Dragon Age: Inquisiton does mass appeal better for sure. But D:OS, has better OST, better combat, better controls, no buggy cutscenes, less cringe worthy writing, less agenda shoehorned in, turn based combat.
What you need to get through your head is that your opinions are not facts. There are reasons to think of D:OS as the better game, just like there are reasons to think of DA:I as the better game.

let me laugh at that, most of those elitist dumbasses haven't played dragon age for some moronic reason, they are far from "educated/knowledgeable" you just want to hear them repeat your own opinion. Very few people have actually played and finished both (myself included) and Dragon Age IS THE BETTER GAME, you may want to use any spin/excuse you want, now you may PREFER divinity, but that doesn't make it the better game, it is more complex, but i enjoyed more dragon age, your whole argument about divinity being a better game is based in the fact that is harder, not that it is more ntertaining, which should be the focus of games. So, nice "argument".
ps. you are making agree with texas, now i feel dirty, brb taking a shower.
Name calling and ad hominem in the first sentence, great start *rolls eyes*. I say those people there are significantly more knowledgeable because people on RPGcodex or a site that must not be namned are more knowledgeable because they have a significantly better idea of the games in the genre, both past, present and future. Likewise, their skill levels as a whole are significantly higher than that of your average gamer implying not only superior knowledge of the history and future of the genre, but also a superior mastery of the rpg mechanics that are in place.
"Very few people have actually played and finished both (myself included) and Dragon Age IS THE BETTER GAME"
What about those who played and finished both, and think that Divnity is the better game? Is your opinoin more valid than theirs?
Arrogance.
"your whole argument about divinity being a better game is based in the fact that is harder, not that it is more ntertaining, which should be the focus of games."
What part of better tactical controls, better side quests, better combat, better encounter design, better OST, lack of level scaling (punish people for levelling), better dialogue system, denser/more compact world, better PC version has anything to do with harder/hardcore/challenge/whatever? Or maybe you just fail at reading comprehension.
Furthermore, I dislike respecs in single player RPGs primarily because they rob your character of their identity. What separates characters now is their class and only their class, no longer build. Removal of long term planning of builds suck too, but the robbing of identity is the worst.
