Trick Weekes themself said that they didn’t have enough guidance to make good enough characters without direction. That sounds pretty incapable to me. The fact that they had a writer from BG2 doesn’t negate the ineptness of other devs and writers. Reports after the release from within Bioware from devs trying to save face after their game tanked, isn’t convincing anyone, sorry. If they had been hamstrung by management at EA, they had also made their own poor decisions as far as how they wrote the characters, dialogue, and story. One is not exclusive to the other.
What are you talking about? If EA sells the IP, they don’t have any input anymore into the franchise.

EA has never sold an IP, not even ones that were massively successful in the past and have not seen a game in the last 10-15 years. They are kept instead.
Now that PIF will taken over, it is even less likely to happen.

Just because they haven't done so yet, doesn't mean they won't in the future. They also had never been bought out by a sovereign wealth fund previously. Now they are. There's a first time for everything.
Who are you to say if it's less likely to happen? Are you some EA exec with insider information on that? If anything, it would be more likely to happen, as the company is in a large amount of debt after the buyout.
