I find it funny that so many who were previously interested in romancing her now drop her because she looks differently. Shallow much?
I think DAI Cassandra looks unconventionally beautiful/striking (I still think BW needs to make her neck slightly bigger), and I really hope she keeps her aggressive attitude because its always fun to have able people with temper problems around.

I'm surprised that you find this surprising. Anway, she looks like the actress who plays Kiera Neris in DS9 to me:

It's cool for those who are interested. I being a straight female, really have no input on this though.

Heh that doesn't mean anything. I am too and would totally romance Cassandra if given the choice. Er well, it depends on how I like her in the game of course, but having lady parts isn't a deal breaker for me when it comes to these games. It would be cool to have two alpha females trying for a romance.

Actually, what I would like to see for Cassandra would be if the cute mage guy (from the movie) were in DAI and we see them develop a thing over the course of the game. I would love that.

Not if my character is a bookworm. You all know about her vendetta against literature.

Really? The actress has almost no cheekbones at all while Cassandra's are very...dominant.-

[Roujinx94]

I certainly hope she is a LI, I have a thing for female warriors but Aveline was a bit too masculine for me and she wasn't even an actual option in the first place.

What i find amusing about this character in particular is that no one seems to have a problem with her being a zealot and killing mages where as if some one where to bring Cullen up ppl would go " OMG i hate him so much he want all mages dead bla bla bla" God forbid he should be a companion right?
I wonder if it's simply because Cassandra and Evangeline are hot females, where as Cullen is a dude and has a lot of hate from males.

apparently It's ok to be a complete jerk if you're a hot woman

im pretty sure that there are gonna be loads of Cullen haters screaming at me for saying this and try to justify Cass's actions but whatever i just wanted to point this out the next time u say Cullen is the only zealot

Wait. What?

Cassandra does *not* hate mages. She did at the start of Dawn of the Seeker, but by the end of it, she liked Galyan enough to kiss him! I mean, he might have thought that it was cruel of her to stop there, considering how smitten he was, but she seemed willing enough to let go of her prejudices.

I'd like it if both she and Galyan were companions in DAI, possibly meeting each other again for the first time in years. I think it would be brilliant, actually. They do have a history together, but I'm thinking that won't prevent either of them from being romanceable in the future. DotS happened 13 years before DAI. A lot can happen in that time, and I'm thinking that their conflicting responsibilities would pull them away from each other even if they weren't incompatible in the long run. I would anticipate some really entertaining friction.

I'm a 100% straight female, and I'm going to say it right now. Cass is hot. I have no interest in a romance with her because she isn't my type by virtue of being female, but as far as physical attractiveness goes, DAI-trailer Cass is definitely a looker. I like her personality, as well, and anticipate that she will be good BFF material for my female protagonists. Most of the male protagonists I run are bisexual, but I imagine that a few of them will be interested in her.

[Bardox9]

I can see a non-mage Inquisitor(male or female) having a relationship with Cassandra. The magic thing would be the only thing that might get in the way.

And Casandra is miles above Aveline in the looks department.

[garrusfan1]

I don't think she looked like a man. also wasn't that just a CGI trailer or was that what the game would really look like. if it was CGI look at the difference in how DAO companions looked compare to the game

[garrusfan1]

is she anti magic

[hotdogbsg]

I agree that Cassandra in the trailer looks a lot different than she does in DA2 but it's not a bad thing. She still looks live a very attractive character in video game terms. (IMO)

garrusfan1 wrote...

Why do people keep saying this?

She is not anti-magic. She is not anti-mage.

She had the Standard-Issue Templar Background - relatives slaughtered by blood mages, etc, etc, etc - but during the course of Dawn of the Seeker, she learned to trust mages. She became close friends (maybe more) with one of them, and a large portion of the Val Royeaux Circle of Magi saved her life.

When she interrogates Varric, she is trying to find Hawke - possibly Mage!Hawke - because she feels that Hawke is the only person who can stop the war. She doesn't care if Hawke is a mage, a templar, an assassin, or a nug. All she wants to do is get the mages and the templars to stop fighting each other and tearing the world apart.

She shows obvious scorn for Anders, but that's perfectly understandable. She had literally no idea how messed up things were in Kirkwall, and she felt that Anders just randomly slipped a cog and blew up the chantry for kicks. Varric accuses her of feeling infatuation/hero worship toward Hawke regardless of his/her class or end-game affiliation, so Varric's explanation must have cleared things up for her.

But yet she gets the "high ground"  just cause shes a hot chick?

[nightscrawl]

So, what? Cullen is the only templar/seeker-type that can have fans? You wanna point out where these same people who are giving Cassandra "a pass" have also portrayed Cullen as evil? I've read the Cullen threads, I know what people say about him, the pros and cons. This is no different.

She would be an interesting LI. The fact that we k ow more about her from DA2 and that fungi matin game helps us go in with an idea of who she is. I don't understand the complaints about the cheekbones, though. I thought high cheekbones were generally considered to be an attractive thing?

I never said that Cullen should be the ONLY one to have fans , idk if u've noticed but every time some one is trying to make a thread about him  in the DAI forum  everyone is like " oh man i dont want a crazy zealont as a companion screw him  he hates all mages " and all kinds of stuff  this thread about Cass is more "oh shes hot  i'd bang her" and such and no one seems to complain about her actions

Breathe, ag99. Please believe me when I say that "a hot chick" cuts no ice whatsoever with me. I'm straight and female.

Nobody here is bashing Cullen (yet). I hope they don't start, but if they do, it won't be because he's an evil templar who hunts mages. It will be because the name keeps cropping up in completely unrelated threads. I like Cullen too, and I hope he is a companion and LI in DA2, but that doesn't mean that I can't root for other candidates of either gender. The game needs more complex characters who are more than extremist examples of their faction, and both Cassandra and Cullen fit that role.

I disagree with your post, AG.

Cassandra is not a jerk. She is a member of Seeker of Truth. It is her job sniff out templar corruption and to maintain the stability of the Chantry at all cost. It is her job to hunt down rather powerful and cunning mages that regular Templars can't handle. She has a tough job, and so she needs to act tough. Shes like a FBI agent or CIA. Shes an elitist.

I'm a dude and a pro mage, and guess what? While I'm not the biggest fan of the Knight-Captain (I'm sure hes now Knight-Commander after Merediths death) Cullun I actually can understand his reasoning behind his philosophy. He personally witnessed what mages are capable of doing as he was once a captive prisoner, and was abused. He seen it all so experience is whats coming out of this mans mouth, nothing more.

Same with Knight-Commender Meredith as she also has personal experience at what weak mages are capable of doing.

If what you'd like to do is help people see that Cullen is just as reasonable as Cassandra, the best thing to do is to support Cassandra. Bringing "everyone hates Cullen and he's a male Cassandra!" into a Cassandra thread is silly, incorrect, sort of off-topic, and ineffective at both generating positive feelings towards Cullen AND helping anyone understand where you're coming from.

... plus it's another instance of what people talk about when they say that Cullen fangirls hijack other threads and make them all about him for no reason. I love Cullen too, but this discussion isn't about him.  Let Cass' fans have their day.


On topic: Cassandra as LI? Sure. You could definitely do worse. She seems like she'd be difficult to win over (whether as friendship or romance) and that could definitely be a cool aspect to the relationship. I also agree completely with berelinde: Cassandra 2.0 looks fantastic, and I'm glad she looks less like a randomly generated NPC this time around.

I never saw the movie or read any of the books or comics; as far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't happen in the game it doesn't happen. If she shows up as a companion in the game (as expected) we'll see how Bioware paints her background and I'll go from there. It just doesn't make sense that you would drag your Cullen angst into a thread about Cassandra. <shrug>

She was pretty in DA2, not pretty in the trailer. I hope all the characters in the trailer look better in the final game product.

Thems the breaks, surely you've noticed this in real life before? We got double standards all over the place, "hot chicks" are basically on the top of the social hierarchy.

All joking aside, I find Cass' personality to be more likeable in general from what we've seen so far. Cullen seems to be a boring, average guy with no real personality to speak of, ever play the Magi origins as a female? He's much more likeable there when he acts all insecure and shy. Cass, on the other hand, seems like she has some temper issues and is just more aggressive in general, which I myself (and apparently a lot of other people) find to be very likeable. Also, she's cute.
