Do those scores on the other sites differentiate between PC and Console?
The reason DA:I PC score is low on Metacritic is quite simple:
1. It was promoted as a PC-centric product. This was a lie.
2. Looting is a pain in the ass (animation, time, repetition).
3. Rapid respawns.
4. The tactical camera does not work to standard.
5. The are barely any party-AI options
6. The game was crashing for a lot of people on a regular basis.
7. The various glitches were and are quite numerous.
8. It bares no great similarity to either previous game, it's more like a spin-off.
But none of these facts make it a bad game, if you just view it as a random game. The majority of positive responses I've seen are from people who have never played the franchise before, and, from this perspective, what exactly were they expecting? An action game with sex options and Dragons - well... that's what it delivers. 10/10 for sex options and Dragons...
... and then people moan about "old RPGers" being "blind to the quality" and "all criticism must be hate-related". I'm sorry, but... LOLLLLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLL.
It's an average RPG. Nothing special. The hype machine crowd will eat it up the same as they do CoD, Assassin's Creed, Candy Crush, Angry Birds, but this is an RPG site, of course you'll get a more "realistic" view of it's comparative quality. Dur.
