I think User is referring to her general attitude. In my opinion, Merril just acts in a very infatile manner which makes her really cute but more in the sense of how puppies are really cute.

Very much so.  Cassandra is a strong, smart, self-possessed woman.  She's Isabela, but with stabilty.  She's Merrill, but with sense and maturity.  She's Morrigan, but with a real job.  She's Leliana, but brunette.  And, oh-by-the-way, better looking than all of them.  Cassandra's the whole package.

Cassandra thinks Hawke can stop the war. Where's the sense in such asinine behavior?

Merrill has plenty of sense and maturity alike. And looks better as well. Why you feel the need to insult her, as well as everyone else, is beyond me, but perhaps you could stand to depart from this matter.

Hawke was at the centre of things when they started.  If anyone can stop the war, he can.  Where or who would be your first stop if you wanted to stop the war?

What makes Cassandra so special is that she doesn't have any major flaws, defects, or suspect "tendencies", she was just a smart, incredibly attractive, woman who was consistently trying to do the right thing.  Many characters in Dragon Age do indeed fall short compared to Cassandra, but that's their fault.

Then congratulate yourself for your superior tastes, which you seem compelled to wave in the faces of others. One hopes that you'll be finished shortly.

That would be great if I believed that Bioware could actually make a relatively sane character seem appealing, but unfortunately I don't. That might not be a bad thing, because with the way RPG companion mechanics work, you have to leave most companion characterization in their backstory (Zev, Leliana, Alistair), their quirks (Morrigan, Shale, Oghren) and their beliefs (Sten and the entire freaking cast of DA2)*.

As it stands right now, Cassandra (in terms of characterization and being interesting), is about as interesting as any "rando-background-npc" in Skyrim.

I believe she has potential to be more interesting of course, but you wouldn't want that because you don't like "flawed characters." Besides, the phrase "flawed characters" is such a loaded word. I prefer "tragic heroes."

*Examples, of course, and not an exhaustive list.

I would like her in DA3, but i think she's already taken.

I'm not against Cassandra being in the game as an LI, but good luck to those hoping for an interesting romance with her - she seems rather frigid to me.

[Xilizhra]

Frigid? How so?

You know, I realize she needed to be all-business in that interrogation with Varric, but even throughout Dawn of the Seeker I guess I just had a hard time imagining her to be the romance-y type. I can easily see her staying blissfully single for the rest of her days. She seemed cold to me. Almost asexual. Just my impression of her.

Though again, that's not indicative of any wish on my part of having her romance excluded from the game. For one thing, what do I know? And for another, I don't usually romance the ladies anyway, but if I did I'd still have a second option anyway.

Really? I thought she might be shagging Leliana, but then I'm a perv, so I would!

Okay, I could actually see that too. But the passion would be all Leliana's. IMO

Cassandra wants angry sex, Leliana wants to watch her sleep and coo at her... Hm, could be the makings of an unlikely couple!

Leliana: Oh, this countryside is lovely! It reminds me of an old elven song my mother used to sing to me. May I sing it for you now?

Cassandra: BULLSH!T!!!

*angry odd-couple sex ensues, fade to black*

[WhiteKnyght]

I think Cassandra has a soft spot for Regalyan. If even if he does act like he belongs in a Shrek film.(cant help but think that for some reason.)

Lol yeah, I notice her give him "that look" every now and then.

Eh, not looking forward to her becoming a Companion. If she is.

The idea that one single man can stop a continental revolution is nonsensical. If this is an example of how useful Cassandra will be, the protagonist would be better off killing her from the start.

One very powerful man/woman, a champion. Hey Buffy did it every other week. You can't blame Cassandra, she was going off his/her rep. From just some of the conversations that Hawk had with Varric, it was clear that Varric made Hawk into a superman/ superwoman.

Bullsh*t!

After being stupid enough to watch that anime movie, I never want to see Cassandra again. Those bug eyes ruined the character for me.

Cassandra's eyes were small for anime style(Dunan Knute from Appleseed had larger eyes, and she's a badass too.) Avexis had the truly anime appearance.
