I just noticed on the back of my Dawn of the Seeker case that it has a direct quote from the Lead Director of the upcoming DAIII game that says, "An action packed look at the origins of a character destined to shake the very foundations of the Dragon Age world."

Is this a confirmation that Cassandra will be the central character in the next game that you will play?  Or is it a forth coming admition that your next protagonist will not be the most important character in the game much in the same way as Hawke was not the most important character in DA2?

I'd say it's heavily implied that she'll play an important role in DA3, either as a companion or major NPC that we will work closely with throughout the game. I don't think she'll be more important than the protagonist, maybe equally as important in the same way Alistair was in DA:O?

Alistair mostly sat at the party camp with Zeveran watching the campfire making sure it didn't go out.  I put Dog in charger of watching both of them.  Then he left in a crying huff at the Landsmeet and became a drunk.  You mean as important in the same way as Leliana?  She's a seeker too, by the way.

I would really dislike that. Not that dislike Cassandra or anything, just the idea of a completely fixed protagonist in Dragon Age... ugh.

^Don't tell me you broke canon and killed her. You played it wrong. You need to go back and play it again.

She seems a bit set in her ways. Could work though, depending on the story.

There is no canon. Only Zuul.

Leliana isn't a seeker, David Gaider said so.

Say what?  She just likes wearing Seeker uniforms?  Or did I misunderstood what I thought I saw?

I believe Gaider implied that Seekers don't necessarily have a uniform, meaning that what Leliana and the others were wearing was not Seeker armor but some other faction's.:huh:

So the other black armoured guys in the ending also aren't Seekers?


I would suggest the possibility that the Seekers do not, in fact, have a uniform.

Well everbody that was a seeker was wearing the same uniform in the movie. Just like all the grey Wardens are wearing the same uniform in DA2.

Everybody is up in arm with Gaider saying Leliana is not a Seeker despite her wearing that armor. They all miss the really important things that he said in the thread:

I was not "surprised" that someone made that assumption. All I'm saying
is that it's an assumption. Yes, Cassandra is a Seeker (or, at least,
claims to be
), but there's nothing that suggests what she's wearing is
the "official Seeker uniform
"-- you've only seen the one, after all.


As for Cassandra's role in DA3,  she's important simply because she have way too many connections to important players in the Game: Chantry (Right Hand of the Divine), Orlais (Hero of Orlais), Neverra (she's a Pentaghast, aka Royalty). This mean she everybody will want to kill her...

Thanks for the thread.  I see that it was posted seven months ago back in December.  I have a lot of reading to do to catch up.

I think she might be the one who will try to keep the chantry from falling apart.
I wonder if the Divine gonna survive DA3 , i don't imagine Cassandra becoming Divine though.
There's also the fact that she's from a dragon hunter familly and dragons are coming back...
Could be cool if she hire our future pc to look for the old ones ,I'm not too fond of the idea of playing a seeker but it has potential.

As far as Leliana not being a Seeker, despite the fact she was wearing the same outfit as Cassandra and the outfits shown in the Dawn of the Seeker movie, and after reading all the threads on this post from seven months ago,....this is the best explanation as to why so many, including myself, thought that she was a Seeker: "Lack of attention to detail, a rush to get that cutscene done, not wanting to give her a different body type/outfit for the one scene-"

Okay....moving on. So Cassandra might the main character in the DA3 game? Not playable of course. Maybe you have to take orders from her all game and earn her respect. That would be an interesting twist in the rpg genre, you role play as a side kick.

I hope not. Her accent is annoying. Do not like her voice actor.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first act has the PC being recruited by Cassandra, but I really doubt the player would remain in her shadow for the entire game.  I don't think that would go down well at all.

But it would fall into the artistic realm of storytelling, which you can't argue with that.

If she is a companion in Dragon Age III, I wonder if Cassandra will be forced on the protagonist as a companion, or if we will have a choice in whether we want her to accompany us or not.

For people who may disagree and oppose Cassandra and Leliana, I wonder if we will have any choice in taking them down, or if they will be plot protected.
