That shrill bleating noise Orlesians make.
That the Inquisitor has the fanciest room in Skyhold and barely anything happens there. If I don't go in to change my rags I'm never there! I have a perfectly fine bed, why, for Maker's sake, do I have to sleep under the broken roof with Cullen?
I totally agree about using male animations on female PCs. Absolutely awful (except I don't think it's trivial at all, I think it makes the game look a little unpolished).
Anyway, my trivial pet peeve: the Bottles of Thedas quest. You can't see them (unless you go to the poky little cellar), you can't drink them, you can't give them to your friends. What good are they? And yet they force you to search for them with that vibrating search ping, which is also used for proper quest items. It makes me mad.

Oh God That Too! I'll find myself doing strange contortions to get into ruined buildings and what do I find? A ****** bottle. Thanks, Bioware. 
Rocky Rescue, listening to the same annoying guy say 'let us out before they turn us into those things' not once but seven times. Ugh!
I don't know if it happens for everyone, but my pet peeve is the fact that sometimes during battle companions will just stop attacking and I have to physically control them to get them to move again. It's annoying, especially during tough battles like boss fights.
I've always found footstep noises irritate me. Also whenever I am in a camp I hear that annoying, "I have something for you". I stopped caring about requisitions after a few playthroughs and began to ignore them anyway, so it made me more irritated to be reminded of them.
Lack of Ferelden armor. Damn Orlesiany **** everywhere.
Whenever a new quest is added or updated, it defaults to active and pops up on the screen taking up space. I don't want the quest showing on my screen so don't make it that way by default. Then, when you go into the quest log to mark it as inactive, any quest that still has the * by it will take its place. Arrggh! Even if there isn't one, you still have to pull up a menu a second time to get the damn thing to finally go away.
I hate when Varric holster's Bianca and the arms are still open. I have to take control of him and jump so that they'll close properly.
I also hate it when, while exploring, my companions will suddenly decide that they have to run off ahead of me rather than following me like they're supposed to. I don't know what causes it, but I usually just leave the region when it happens.
I think people misunterpret that scene. Here's how it goes.Lavellan: "who is Mythal?"
*epic facepalm*
Not enough Lyrium addiction torture with Cullen.
1. Sliding down tiny slopes. I could literally just step over it, but instead I'll slide and slide. And when I finally do manage to jump up that slope...
2. Random invisible walls. Not at the edges of the map, which is understandable, but all over the map. Ridges, tree lines, foliage. In fact everywhere except the ledges that followers like to shove you off.
3. The big green button (on Xbox One). The artists did a great job at creating atmosphere and mood. All of which is ruined when the big green button and 'Interact' floating text draws your attention away from it. For example, at the end of Haven, when you're struggling through a dark, forested mountain pass, in a blizzard at night. Very atmospheric, until you see the big green button hovering over the campfire. A less intrusive crosshair would be better.
4. You'd think if you're making a party based game, you'd figure out a way to stop the party members bouncing around like toddlers on a sugar rush every time you stop walking for a moment. When I'm having very serious conversations with kings and demons, the mood is invariably ruined by Cassandra leaping around like a clown on a table/bush/NPC's head in the background. Once I was even pushed out of a conversation with an NPC when she charged me from behind.
5. The opening screen. Mages and Templars walking with slow dignity to their doom at the Conclave. Wait! Now they're scurrying along like a Benny Hill sketch! And now it's all slow and dignified again. Always makes me chuckle.
6. Loading screens full of interesting text suddenly disappearing. Hey, I was reading that!

A good way round that is to press the 'attack my target' button. It seems to sort of wake them back up and they'll fight normally after that. I need to do it several times a fight in longer fights, though.
Jumping instead of doing what I want to do.
Me: *clicks to get loot*
Inky: *jumps over loot*
Me: *clicks to go through door*
Inky: *jumps and headbutts door frame*
And my new favourite in Trespasser!
Me: *clicks to catch harlequin*
Inky: *jumps up and down*
Oh! Also! Sometimes when I am trying to jump up something, Inky will jump half a mile backwards instead. Sometimes off a precipice.
The fact that people you talk to keep joining and separating their hands on an infinite 2 second loop.
Bianca is Varric's girlfriend. No matter how mad he is at her, he's going to be annoyed at the Inquisitor going at her too (I really liked his disapproval in this scene. It was a nice touch and suited Varric's character. It said 'I'm mad at you, but I'm also going to defend you')
Bianca's primary aim in investigating the red lyrium was to help Varric. She made a huge mistake, yes, but Varric also considers himself responsible for red lyrium being on the surface and Cory's escape in the first place. What Bianca did is no worse than the numerous screw ups we - as Hawke - made in DA2. But it's fine when it's the player character, right?
As for the assassins - how do you know she hasn't spoken out against them? From her dialogue and Varric's I got the impression that the only reason she'd got married was to protect Varric in the first place. Legally, she's not even meant to be in the same country as him. The fact that she threatens the Inquisitor should prove that, yeah, she cares a very great deal about Varric's wellbeing. And what she said is no worse than a lot of the stuff purple/red!Hawke could come out with. But again, it's all good if the player character, isn't it?
Pet hate: having to switch to an appropriate character to open locks/bash doors/magicaly do whatever energise is. I should be able to click on the thing with whatever character I am playing and one of my teammates that can use it should do so automatically. Made wore by the fact that your party members are perfectly happy to say things like "I can do that". Well then do it. Don't just stand there and make me go through the hassle of swicthing characters and clicking on it again.
Yes, it's trivial. But it bugs me.
Oh my there are so many! Most have been listed. Thus I won't repeat those.
*Walking into Orlais and feel as though I stepped into nightmare Disney. Um, Mickey Mouse hats on guys. (disgusted noise).
*Every random NPCs action is to: squat down and start picking at the ground. Why? Just why?
*Seeing NPCs sit in the snow.
*Seeing male NPCs with female hair.
*Seekers wearing Templar armor or use Templar specialization (coughs Cassandra).
*Bird Cages hanging over Sola's room. Poor Solas.
*Everyone magically pulling something out of their bum or putting it there.
*Samson wearing his red lyrium armor during judgment.
*Criminals walk in for judgement. You clearly hear chains as a sound effect yet their hands are tied with rope.
*No Inquisition decoration options for your keep.
*Cullen's ceilings and floor. Please for the love of Maker this needs to be fixed. Termites are holding hands just keeping it together.
Bianca in general infuriates me to no end. Maybe more so than Fiona or Michel.
But, to something more trivial. The Grand Forest Villa in the Hinterlands; I'm disappointed we can't claim that as a fort.
