Slightly offtopic, but just touching on the end of that interview. I would love it if became increasingly difficult to keep everyone "happy". That you might have to pick sides, and that your Inquisition isn't necessarily that "last supper" image in the trailer.

No. I will have them all be friends, even if I have to beat them black and blue to do it!

[The Elder King]

If it means her primary concern is keeping innocents safe, and damn any stupid traditions or laws that get in the way, then it's totally in line with how I play/think.
 
"Order" always makes me raise an eyebrow though. Like in the case of implementing some "system" or grand preconception of how society "should" work. It's bad enough when "order" rears it's head even in simple things in daily life.. like when people need to organize their immediate environment. Workplaces, cleanliness, all that noise.

I think order might mean in this case stopping the Fade tears (and possibly the other problems in Orlais and Ferelden).
@Jaison: I don't think the mage-templar war will matter that much. There is obviously a major plot, but we're not going to resolve the war (unless all mages and templars are in the hinterlands, which I think it's irrealistic); and I don't think she'll care that much on how you solve the plot in the Hinterlands (or in another area) to turn against you.

I think Cassandra will be available to the ladies. I seem to remember DG saying one of the companions would be struggling with their sexuality. Would be interesting to see how Cassandra reacted to the realisation that she was interested in Fem!Quisitor. There seems to be quite a large group who would like to romance her as a female, and with her being a flagship companion, I have hope that the devs will deliver

That would be SERIOUSLY awesome.  My Femquiz would be MORE than happy to help Cassandra discover the ways of lady-lovin' 

[KC_Prototype]

I think taking her to the Orlesian ball would be enough

Yeah, I guess you're right. Seeing her in a dress would be quite the show.

She'd probably refuse on the spot, but then leliana pushes her into it as she notices she actually wants to try on a dress.

Character Profile: Cassandra
 

[DRAGON AGE]: Dragon Age fans will remember Cassandra from the previous game, but for those meeting her for the first time, who exactly is she?
[DAVID GAIDER]: Cassandra is a member of the Seekers of Truth, the order that led the templars away from the Chantry to battle the mage rebellion… but she is also servant to the Divine, the spiritual leader of the Chantry and thus all of Thedas.
 
[DA]: Does that ever force her to pick sides?
[DG]: She is part of both worlds, and when those worlds come into conflict, she chooses to stand with the Divine because, as she sees it, the Divine is seeking to end the chaos rather than add to it. To her fellow Seekers, this makes Cassandra a traitor, but it puts her in a position to be there when the Inquisition is founded, to do what needs to be done.
 
[DA]: How much has Cassandra changed since players last saw her?
[DG]: When Cassandra met Varric in Dragon Age II, she was convinced the world worked a certain way: things were black and white, good and evil. If there was a problem, there was a distinct cause behind it that could be dealt with.
 
[DA]: And now?
[DG]: What we find in Inquisition is a Cassandra who's realizing the world doesn't work like she believed it does. Her duty is not absolute, and perhaps neither is her faith. Having doubt need not make either of those things weaker, however, and that's the path that Cassandra has to now walk.
 
[DA]: How do other characters in the game see her?
[DG]: I think there's a big difference between how others would describe Cassandra and how she would describe herself. She can come across as very stern and rigid, perhaps even humorless, but then she'll surprise you with a wry comment or a bit of sarcasm. The things she has real passion for, she holds secret as she doesn't believe putting them on display is very seemly. There is a sense of propriety and duty in Cassandra that some of the other characters simply can't resist poking at until they elicit a reaction.
 
[DA]: What is Cassandra like on the battlefield? Does she run toward danger head on?
[DG]: It depends on where the greatest danger lies and who is threatened. She's very practical in battle, and far more oriented toward protecting the helpless and innocent before any other consideration. Fighting is not about having style or showing off; it's a necessary means to an end.
 
[DA]: She sounds like a noble ally.
[DG]: Cassandra does what she believes is right and just, and holds those values as more important than things like law or duty. If she needs to rebel against tradition in order to drag the world kicking and screaming back into a semblance of order, then she will do it. Once Cassandra commits to a cause, she jumps in with both feet, and the Inquisition is no exception.
 
[DA]: What did you enjoy most about writing Cassandra's character?
[DG]: At heart, deep down, Cassandra's a romantic. If you called her that, she would completely deny it, but it's absolutely true, and it made her quite fun for me to write. I don't think I've made a character quite like her previously.
 
[DA]: Would you say that Cassandra is easy to get along with?
[DG]: There are characters she sees eye to eye with, The Iron Bull being one of them. Vivienne is another. Even with those two, however, there are particular points that will cause contention between them—the Inquisition's cause is up to the player, after all, and involves a very disparate group of people, and thus none of them are going to be on exactly the same page. Of course, there are also some characters with whom Cassandra very much does not get along, and that can cause some tension, depending on who the player tries to take along.

Now that scenario with her cheating on the Inquisitor with the Iron Bull seems more likely...

[The Elder King]

You're probably right. i'm just sort of musing on the subject. It's already a cool sign to me that she's willing to diverge from Templars/Seekers.. yet also still sees the worth of Circles (rather than full on Mage freedom). To me, those are the "sane" options.

I wouldn't say that siding with mage's freedom or templars aren't 'sane' options, but as a neutral on the situation I approve of Cass.

[The Elder King]

Pfft. We all know since Aimo's fanarts that Cassandra loved Leliana .

[The Elder King]

I really don't need to deal with getting cheated on.
 
I've had enough sh*tty life experiences, and unhappy DA protagonists to boot.
 
Don't kick me while I'm down.

I doubt it's going to happen .

[AresKeith]

I think they're extremely insane options. I mean, when they are seperate entities, completely on their own.

 

I think they need each other. Demons are the real threat.

 

And judging from one of the demos, both mages and templars doesn't seem to care who gets in the way of their war

[KC_Prototype]

She'd probably refuse on the spot, but then leliana pushes her into it as she notices she actually wants to try on a dress.

I would love to see that play out. And there's a strong possiblity it will considering what DG described Cassandra as.

[The Elder King]

Oh, I definitely agree that the best solution is to have them work together. I am pro-compromise after all (though I support an improved Circle system, not the former one). I'm just saying that I don't think everyone that support one side or another are insane.

oh? where was this? does anyone know?

[The Elder King]

Oh, this was posted in the twitter thread. Don't know if it was already posted.

What lengths will she go to restore order? Get to know Cassandra: http://bit.ly/1pUq8Zv  pic.twitter.com/NYD8Kc8DxN
 

[Queen of Evil]

So I hear we will have some race restrictions now for LIs. *sigh* If Cassandra isn't into my Feminquisitor AND my Qunari inquisitior some tables are going to find themselves unexpectedly flipped.

[MisterJB]

I'm surprised Cassandra would get along with Iron Bull.

For one, she seems the type to not have patience for nonsense; and Iron Bull has already suggested to throw Sera like a catapult; and I'd imagine her reaction to him sending information to Par-Vollen would be something in the lines of: "Am I the only one who can see what a huge security breach this is?"

I am pro compromise too (with the mundanes however). I just think the templars failed to do their job and it's now time to find someone more resonable to replace them. Who knows, maybe we can use our own Inquisition to do that. Isn't that what they did with the first one?

[Dussan2]

Also, I just realize this thread has been lacking in Cassandra pics. Time to rectify that!

 

 

First mod needs to fix that face.  

 

This is much better.  Femininity is a good thing

[The Elder King]

Hah. Just what I was wondering about.

Believer might mean different things. It could mean that she believes in the Inquisition, i the goal of stopping the Breach.
Though she obviously believe in the Maker, and she has faith in the Chantry as well.
