When insulting the King of Ferelden, you might want to use terms that are synonymous with the title.
Royal concubine getting delusions of grandeur.

Regardless of this story, that is simply not true.

First guess is that the new Inquisition comes into existence without Cassandra. She's a Seeker. From what I can tell, the Inquisition is a totally independent body that arises separately from Templars, Chantry officials, Seekers, and everyone else, so I assume that Cassandra doesn't head the Inquisition because she wasn't part of it to begin with.
Supposedly the Inquisitor ends up being the sole survivor of something, right? Presumably the people who formed the Inquisition were all slaughtered, so you the PC..well, you're it. Somehow we end up running with Cassandra well after we've become the Big Shot.
Reconsidered, I stand by those reasons, but I think you yourself have managed to overlook your own point: she's a member of the ruling family of Nevarra, and a Seeker of the Chantry. She's not exactly neutral. Even if she technically is as an individual, there's no getting around the political implications--she CAN'T be affiliated with the Inquisition, certainly not as its head. The Inquisition, we're told, is a neutral, independent body not connected in any way with any rulers or Chantry officials, etc. There's plenty of reason right there for why Cassandra's involvement with the Inquisition would be very, very unofficial.

She's gotta have access to resources and influence and stuff like that.
Maybe she should be leading the Inquisition. Being our boss kinda.
What makes the Player so special?

How so? It doesn't make sense in a choice based game to be following someone elses command.
Inquisitor: "Ok, I've decided we will save the town"
Cassandra: "Shut up lackey, we save the keep and the town burns down!"
This only makes sense with a game where you don't make choices but rather there are set events, reactions, and character. (like Tomb Raider for example)

This is the sort of question that would be addressed by, say, the story.

I think having a non-human protagonist as leader - especially a mage - is the big question here, given Andrastian society. I think you could be right about Cassandra offering her aid after the fact.
I would have no problem playing as her. I expect I would even enjoy it.Secretlyapotato wrote...
Nobody wants to play as her.

Let add in the fact that while Cassandra is heavily featured now, it could be because she, Varric and Vivienne is the 'example' party.
Isabella was heavily featured in the markething for da2, but she was entirely optional. Since Varric still calls her seeker, it is entirely possible that Cassandra (and perhaps some seekers) join up a little later when your group have gained some notority/fame. It is of course also possible that she helps form the Inqusition, but right now we simply don't know.
Originally, Alistar was older, more confident, and a veteran Templar. They changed him up for exactly this reason.Former_Fiend wrote...

Technically Alistair should have been the leader too, but they needed someone else to do the job for him too.
Well, to be fair, besides the fact that it was kind of the point of Alistair's character development that he was kind of spineless at first, in that case we're talking about a matter of six months seniority.

Slightly OT, but it occurs to me that each main Dragon Age title has had a companion of royal blood.

That's certainly possible. The Seekers could be optional allies.
