The difference is in which core aspect of Cassandra's presented character it violates, yes. I don't see a quantitative difference in how much as presented is being violated, or even entirely why it matters.

 

Considering that DAI and Cassandra are fictional, I don't think this even matters much. People who dislike one another and who would be totally incompatible IRL get together in fiction all the time. Watch any sh*tty romantic comedy movie for proof. What typically doesn't happen, is one character saying "I'm into men, I don't like girls", and turning around and hooking up with a woman (and referring to the woman as a man in all future conversations).

 

 

 

 

Implications more than statements.

 

Ahh, yes. "Implications". Every victim's favorite way of accusing someone or a group of people of saying or doing something they perceive to be offensive, without actually having to put forth any evidence to support their case. It's a sly move that does work quite a lot, to their credit, but anyone with critical thinking skills can call them out on their sh*t.

Yeah, seriously just let it go.

I'll let the fight go, if you desire.

That's a relief. She's quite possibly the most interesting character in DAI because she has more facets than any other companion, and I'm curious about what a romance adds to her - and the Inquisitor's - story.

I actually saw a little of myself in Cassandra, in regards to her religious faith. I used to be very religious. Didn't question it at all. Then some things gave me doubts, minor at first, but annoying, and the cracks in the wall of my faith got larger and larger over the years. Cassandra didn't come to the same conclusion that I did, but I respect her for having those doubts at all. She is an example of a person of faith that I can respect. She's all too aware of the twisted things that people can do with her religion. That's why she believes in reforming the Chantry to focus more on helping people than fearing the wrath of the Maker, kind of like Leliana, but not as extreme. I think I still prefer Leliana's reforms, but Cassandra would make a great Divine, and I know from experience that she is an excellence romance.

Alright, after nearly 3 months of stalling, I officially finished the game and watched my epilogue.

 

I supported Cassandra for Divine, she became Divine and now I feel like I screwed her over and undermined her power. I gave her a seat on the throne if a crumbling institution, took her strength away, and didn't help her when things went ****** up.

 

1. She creates a new templar order, but all the conscripted templars elect to stay with the Inquisition.

2. A pissy new sect arose to object to everything Cassandra does and negotiations break down. For the 1st time the Chantry declares war on itself :wacko: .

 

I knew of most endings but I didn't know about this possibility.

 

So I'm tryna figure out why my quiz didn't care enough to ease negotiations for Cassandra. They were friends and quiz had a high approval rating after doing all of her missions and so on. Who else has gotten the Chantry civil war ending? How did it happen?

 

Perhaps I should be pleased by the ending, seeing as though conflict is what makes the Inquisition relevant. And a fractured and warring Chantry would probably make the faithful turn to the the Herald of Andraste.  :bandit: I didn't support Cassandra so she could fail or get assasinated, though.

Hopefully the lady seeker will survive the throne if you actually grant it to her.

Hopefully, as right-hand, I have the power to protect her, and also command the inquisition!

I think she will, with the inquisition backing her. Well, in my game they do :/ I guess it might be different if she became divine and u diidnt back her.

She's less likely to shanked then Leliana this true but the forces arrayed against any of these Divines aren't going to be common foes.

The Chantry has existed long enough for there to be factions within it that would disagree with any reform.

And they aren't wrong to oppose it; their perspective isn't nice but it kept the world spinning.

That is true,  but Cassandra's changes are less severe than the other candidates so maybe they would not react as badly? Hmmn it's difficult to say, really.

Spoiler


Comrades in arms is a concept that is often imitated poorly in media but it's something that everyone from soldiers to mercenaries to even terrorists have in some fashion or another.

I'd like to think that the party eventually became like my own platoon.

Beyond all of them being worthless jackholes the minute they could stop acting like soldiers.

...sometimes I do honestly miss those days; private sector work be it technological or military work doesn't offer that, not in the same way.

Mother of God, why so long?

 

 

I supported Cassandra for Divine, she became Divine and now I feel like I screwed her over and undermined her power. I gave her a seat on the throne if a crumbling institution, took her strength away, and didn't help her when things went ****** up.

 

1. She creates a new templar order, but all the conscripted templars elect to stay with the Inquisition.

2. A pissy new sect arose to object to everything Cassandra does and negotiations break down. For the 1st time the Chantry declares war on itself

 

They might address these in DLC, but I'm not sure. Some of the choices and outcomes for who becomes Divine can vary pretty radically.

 

So I'm tryna figure out why my quiz didn't care enough to ease negotiations for Cassandra. They were friends and quiz had a high approval rating after doing all of her missions and so on. Who else has gotten the Chantry civil war ending? How did it happen?

 

I couldn't say. I've only ever had Leliana (hardened) as Divine, and Vivienne (which was weird, since I never supported Vivienne, but I DID support Leliana again).

I figured someone would try to make a joke about Kingdom Hearts sooner or later.

 

I'm surprised it took nearly 3 years though.
