Dunno if anyone's mentioned this or not, but it was an incredibly awesome decision to have Hawke's helmet removed any time he talks to someone. While it breaks some of the immersion to have his helmet just magically vanish it helps the player to identify with the character.
I'm replaying through Mass Effect 2, where they did not do that and almost every conversation I'm in I think of DA2. I remembered why I gave up the stat bonus of a helmet in order to be able to see Shepard's face during conversations in my first playthrough. It's not a huge thing, but there's just something very uncanny valley about hearing his voice come out of a helmet or mask of some kind.
