After all the revelations about the Qunari, ancient elves
Especially since it's very likely the next game will be in Tevinter, which is full of elven slaves and servants, is right on the border of and fighting with the Qunari, and are perhaps the best customers of dwarven lyrium traders (perhaps Kal-Sharok?). That would be too good not to explore!
Please don't write the next game with human-only in mind like DA2 and DAI; write it with race selection in mind.
I love race selection in both DAO and DAI, but I felt DAI took it farther. I loved, loved, LOVED playing non-human characters, getting non-human perspectives, and hearing comments from other characters. I love all the "special" race dialogue options in conversations, and overhearing gossips talk about my characters' background (like a carta member snarking about the odds that a salroka would be praised as the humans' god, or various human gossips badmouthing elves within a Dalish Herald's earshot, etc), and seeing how my race affected relationships with various companions. (Sera loved a Qunquisitor but hated an Elfquisitor, Dorian makes some well-meaning but awkward comments to a Dalish Inquisitor, etc). I love it all.
However, at times it does feel a bit obvious that this game was written with human protagonist in mind. Not just the human Chantry central storyline (although that's thankfully hyjacked by the elves' elfiness near the end of the game, and the DLC explore the elves', dwarves', and Qunaris' role more 
), but how it was integrated into the main story, and how the characters' specializations and combat abilities were reflected. (Funny how a Dalish Keeper's First and Vashoth mercenary have the exact same kind of magic taught in Chantry Circles, instead of their own nature-y or destructive magic.)
If you write the next game to be as amazing as this one, only with race selection in mind from the start instead of just tacking it on at the end, it will be that much more incredible!
After what we learn about ancient elves, Fen'Harel and the Eluvians, and the Qunari and their forever war with Tevinter, and the dwarves and their lyrium and the Titans, and the role they've been hinted to play in the next game (or future games on top of it) it would be a tragedy to cast it all aside to focus on just human politics at the top of Tevinter Imperium's ivory towers.
