I think she's great.The outbursts get my attention,maybe she's brash because she has dragon blood in her?

Possibly, but as a Theirin didn't Alistair have dragon blood, might've changed in the comics but in Origins he wasn't exactly prone to outbursts.

Alistair is many generation diluted dragon blood...

True, but as far as I know, nothing we've seen has implied that dragon blood changes/affects ones personality, or has it?

An Inquisition is nasty business people, always has been, always will be (Today we would refer to it as blacklisting). People who have no position or authority in the Inquisition start making accusations against anyone and everyone.

They all have their reasons and agendas for doing so. I suspect there will be plenty of people screaming "My neighbor's a Blood Mage!", when what he really wants is take over his neighbor's farm and lands Or "This woman is possessed by a demon from the Fade!", when what she really wants is to remove a romantic rival who has the attention of a suiter she's wants for herself.

Having a relationship with Cassandra in the middle of all of this when she might disagree with you on who needs to be charged with whatever crimes a person is accused of could be problematic.

She's overworked. She needs to unwind. She needs some elf lovin'. 

Besides, DA2 introduced the concept of "rivalmancing."

Heck, real life relationships aren't always about agreeing with each other.

We haven't really meet anyone who drank fresh dragon's blood, but considering its usage (magic, rune-crafting), I see it to be similar to lyrium which does affect people's mind (even the blue version).

The only thing we have about dragon's blood is from a book written by Ferdinand Pentaghast (the heir to the Throne of Nevarra, he's the younger brother of the current very old King, but he prefer dragon hunting to politics). He mention that fresh dragon's blood has a fiery essence and Cassandra do have a fiery temper. The fiery temper might just be a Nevarran thing too or a Pentaghast one...

I hope to learn more about the "Legendary Dragon Hunters of Nevarra" in DAI though, lots of things hinted at in World of Thedas and the recent comics about them.

Well there was the Dragon cultists in DA:O, and they were pretty bizarre, altough wether or not they were like that before they drank the dragon blood, I don't know. It would be interesting to learn more about the "Legendary Dragon Hunters of Nevarra", and with Cass as a companion I'd say there is likely a good chance we will.

i have but one question (concerning the picture in the opening posting):

why does she have god-damned scars (not that they are that disfiguring) now, when she was un-marred in DA2 and Dawn of the Seeker? (do you (that goes for Bioware-Devs, too) think that makes her more sexy or what?)

greetings LAX
ps: they say chicks dig scars, but i don't think men do (not that i don't think she is pretty though)

I think the new look is great;) From what we know so far it suits her character down to the ground. Also I like that they are showing some wear and tear on the Characters, knowing how the world is in dangerous times.  
As for the Scars, I think they add to her, make her Cooler & Sexier:police:

I didn't think of checking the Dragon Cults codex entry, but your post made me do it and it says: "That blood is said to have a number of strange long-term effects, including bestowing greater strength and endurance, as well as an increased desire to kill. It may breed insanity as well."

It does also mention of Nevarran dragon hunters, I get the feeling that the two groups clashed quite a bit (even in the Dragon Age, going by Dawn of the Seeker).

Ah, that's interesting. It seems evident that drinking the dragon blood is what caused them to behave that way, altough this page on Reavers [http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Reaver] seems to imply that it has more to do with demons/magic than the actual blood itself (Wyvern blood can also be used).

1. The Templars broke away from the Chantry in Dragon Age: Asunder. They no longer exist.
2. Cassandra's not a templar; she's a Seeker.
3. The Seekers also broke away from the Chantry.
4. Cassandra is currently working with a deceptive dwarf (Varric) and an apostate (Vivienne, since the Circle of Magi no longer exists). There's more to her than meets the eye.

5.  She is hot.

They put all of this into a one novel? Great. I didn't even heard about it.

Anyway. Inquisition is a radical religious group, and we are supposed to play as one of the inquisitors. I don't really care if it's a Chantry or Templar inquisition. I just want this group to stop functioning.

The developers have already said that this new Inquisition is formed "in opposition to" the Chantry.

"Inquisition" word is what bothers me. It has to be an organisation that consists of mad fanatics. So the best thing I can do is to destroy it from within. Then destroy what remains of Chantry and Templars (if anything remains), and bring back the Tevinter Imperium.

Knowing how BioWare writers like to make unpredictable turn of events, I suppose that Tevinter is actually not an "evil empire" at all. They didn't invade Golden City (which doesn't even exist). And the main person responsible for all troubles was actually sinister and insane Andraste.

I never said the Imperium was "evil." <_< 

But it is human-centric, which I oppose.

You forgot X. Profit! somewhere in that list.

It is interesting that Cassandra, someone who is a Chantry-loyalist (it's a requirement to be a Seeker), would join up with the Inquisition that is working against the Chantry (and she seems to be an early companion too). Maybe she just don't like where the Chantry is going.

I don't know if her accent is even still being discussed, but according to the Wiki she's from Nevarra, which is based loosely on Prussia, so her accent is probably Germanic or Slavic in nature.

True, but most real life relationships wouldn't have to survive in the backround of a war involving raging demons, rebellious mages and fanatical templers. 

Besides do you really want to endear yourself to her and then watch some psycho for his cause run her through?

I am sure there are many individuals and organizations that want her dead, but she is prepared for them all. She is always prepared. 

Most likely, my elven mage will be the only one "running through" her.

Well every Bioware game had Some form of war or impendind doom looming over the characters heads & that didn't stop Revan, Shepard (End of the Galaxy Stuff), the Warden or Hawke so I dout it would stop the Inquisitor:lol:

People sure like to make a lot of assumptions about the word 'Inquisition'.

'Inquisition' is just a fancy word for 'investigation'. An inquisition can have a political or religious element, but it is by no means required. The fact that the term has been used in the past to refer to extremely violent events is pure circumstance and nothing more.

Ah, but BioWare isn't using a dictionary, they are using a well-known term with pretty common associations. The fact that DA's Inquisition was and is an organisation, is a pretty clear indication that it's based on the popular concept of 'the Inquisition' as an organised entity, rather than a process. The name Inquisition sells; it's associated with fanaticism, violence and more than a hint of sadism. And that's 'awesome' from a PR / marketing perspective.

Man, will people get disappointed when, after applying the Comfy Chair 10 times, they get the 'Fluffy Bunny Inquisitor' achievement...
