In the long ago before I became a reg poster on these boards my initial interest for a LI was Cassandra, kinda hoped that maybe she might be bi. When Cass was revealed to be not sadness ensued. I sorta migrated here and there and eventually settled here, got to know what Sera was about and grew to like her from what I've read/seen others talk about.
Still am disappointed that Cass is unavailable to my fem Inquisy but eh just gotta deal, (being self deprecating tends to help me in this situation, gotta learn to laugh when you can right) and attempt to role a male for her. Even though I have a high failure rate of finishing said playthroughs. Just seeing all the new Cass stuff still brings on the sadness, can't be helped.
I was extremely disappointed about Cass for the longest time, especially since I looked forward to her being in the game for such a long time. The four month wait was so difficult to just sit and hope she would be available. I was upset for a long time and when so many males complained about her looks it made it even worse. To me she was perfect from the beginning and I had never experienced being that disappointed about a character in a game before.
After all this time I think I'm finally getting over her, watching her in the twitch stream yesterday actually made me feel better. I had been worried that seeing her in game was going to bring back the disappointment more but after watching her interact with the inquisitor, I think I'm going to be fine.
I really think that hanging around this thread with all the great guys and gals here really helped me as I started to really enjoy Sera's character. It helped me see past my disappointment to see how wonderful it was to have a lesbian character, instead of the DA2 system. Heck hanging around here even caused me to join SPEW, so I'm happy now and looking forward to Sera and Josie.
