First off, respect. That's some dedication. Now, that being said...
I have a hard time telling with BioWare since I'm not sure if there are cut-and-dry "teams" like there are with many other massive studios that simultaneously develop multiple titles at once, but I've been getting the feeling that the team that worked on the original trilogy are working on the brand new IP they very vaguely teased at E3 and that ME4 is being worked on by a different group of people.
edit: Wikipedia confirms this suspicion...Bioware Edmonton, who did the original trilogy, worked on DA: I and is now working on the new IP. The Montreal team, who is working on ME4, is a relatively new team.So yeah, I'll give the same warning I give pretty much every time a new installment in a franchise is being developed by someone other than the original. Don't be shocked if the game isn't up to the same level. (See: Halo 4, Fallout New Vegas, pretty much every CoD since MW2, yada yada yada).
