I know what you mean. I really enjoyed Inquisition, I still play it today. It's not perfect but it's great. Veilguard just feels like a bad cartoon. Example: I'm playing as a Shadow Dragon and everyone keeps explaining to me what the Shadow Dragons do. Ok, yep, read the codex, read my own intro, I got it.
It was originally supposed to be a heavily monetized live service game and they had to pivot really late in development because of backlash during playtesting. A lot of the weirdness you see like that is because they were reworking what basically amounted to a bad mmo. I hear the last few hours of the story are pretty good though.
