One major criticism I have of Mass Effect 3 is it's largly decreased player agency - there was less sense of control and interaction and the player takes a back seat as a result.

I think Dragon Age 3 has got to do the complete opposite, and, if anything, increase player agency:

 - Never allow the player character to speak without dialogue choices.
 - Never shoehorn plotpoints that conflict with player choice / roleplaying.

I hope that the DA team are focusing on this for DA3, as it is crucial to the praise BioWare games have recieved in the past.

Blood Mage specializations already have issues with the setting, even in DAO. THough it's more pronounced in DA2 given that mage PCs in general can cause problems for believability.
