One word; Sidequests.
The Witcher 3 has more fleshed-out, story-driven sidequests whereas Dragon Age: Inquisition had very few memorable ones. That is where Bioware need to improve upon in Mass Effect and Dragon Age. The main quests in Dragon Age are great fun but the sidequests really hinder any chance of replayability. I just don't want to do them again.
I liked Dragon Age: Inquisition. I probably give it a 7.5/10 but Witcher 3 I give a 9/10. The main flaws I have with Witcher 3 is that there's TOO MUCH to do that replaying the game will likely seem a monumental task. I have like 50+ hrs spent so far and feels like I have barely scraped the surface. That's a common flaw I have with open-world games in general though. Once you finish it, it becomes a chore to play again. I found I liked Dragon Age: Origins much more even though the graphics and gameplay of Inquisition was better.
Mass Effect is my favourite sci-fi series though so hopefully Bioware look to Witcher 3 for what CDPR did right in regards to story-driven sidequests. I love Mass Effect because it's like 30 hrs long rather than 200 hrs. I would sooner play through Mass Effect 2; 3 or 4 times before replaying any open-world game.
