Big Spoilers
I think the best parts of the game are how they unapologetically reuse environments and literally almost every single fight is just respawning waves of enemies that teleport in to attack you, making positioning of your characters almost pointless, and how the game was clearly not rushed out in a year to capitalize on DAO's popularity, and how if you choose the mage ending, Orsino turns evil with absolutely no foreshadowing whatsoever, simply because they wanted another boss. And then you have the masterful stroke of your DAO decisions mattering so much, not to mention Leliana showing up in DA2's ending even if she explicitly leaves forever with the Warden in DAO's ending.
Wait no
In all seriousness, I legitimately like Aveline, but the rest of the NPCs are at best boring (Varric might be okay). Probably the most common complaint is Hawke, and the fact that you no longer get to choose origins or even your race (in fact, they didn't bother making a female dwarf model at all; there are simply no female dwarves, period), and this is pretty legitimate: unlike Shepard, who's actually important to ME's story as the only wo/man with the skills and training and Spectre status to get the job done, Hawke just comes off as some dude/tte who happens to be in the right place at the right time in three almost unrelated scenarios that are linked mostly because they all take place in Kirkwall.
