It's really like comparing apples and pears... DA and ME will be build on the same engine (Frostbite 3), but the mechanics will be totally different, so it might work better, worse or evenly when it comes to mixing genres. The best i can theorize, is the same thing i'm thinking with Assassin's Creed Unity; Because it's a whole new engine, the first games they develope with them will be a bit wonky, having to patch a lot of things after launch. When we really start getting some news about ME Next, they will have time to sort out any known problems with the engine. I'm a fan of both series, but am a bit cautious about Inquisition (though i still dropped 110$ on the Inquisitor Edition :P). So my answer would be; if the gameplay, engine and story in Inquisition is at least decent, ME Next has a good chance of surpassing all 3 ME games in both design and vision. Having Casey Hudson step down from developing the next ME game could also be good or bad...
