Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this?

First five minutes of SkillUp's review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone's abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a "return to form" are written and SkillUp's has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

I don't really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I'll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

Never seen mortismal and I've only seen SkillUp a few times. I don't really follow or need any review at release time, I'm not touching any game that's 50€ or more until two years have passed and it's in the vicinity of 75% off.
