How common is it that BioWare writers disagree with each other on where the story should go?

Also, can you give any hint as to whether ME3 fans can expect a new squadmate in DLC? We got Kasumi for ME2 around this time and Randall Ezno would be *awesome*. :3

How much ownership do players have of the story, if any?
