I agree with most things you said but i think it's hard if not impossible to make a complete player-made character with a personality of its own like the other characters, its just to many variables. On the other hand Hawke from DA-II did had those tiny conversation's here and there that gave him/her some uniqueness. Maybe they should have done something more like a quest or some conversation for each of the past : for example a visit to earth for a earthborn, to mindoir for a colonist and to a spacer a visit his/her mother ship. It would be a nice touch and would have had some influence in how we see Shep, it would seem that the "past" choice mattered. A comment on the Thresher Maw you mentioned would have been great, i never had thought of it :P
