IIRC, Cassandra has the standard Inquisition longsword when she does her strut through Haven. The same one wielded by the other soldiers seen when the camera has them in view.

 

If that's the case, then let's do a comparison. Assuming the average height for a male soldier in the Inquisition is 6 feet (72 inches), the sword (including both blade length and the hilt) would be around 42 inches long, or 3.5 feet. Cassandra looks to about roughly the same height as the generic soldiers, give or take and inch or two. 3.5 feet is about as long as one of your arms, fully outstretched, from the finger tip to the shoulder. Assuming you don't have stunted dwarf arms, in any case.

 

I can't think of any swordsmith or metalworker who would classify a sword of 42 inches as a 2-handed weapon by default. A sword that length would almost certainly be weighted and balanced for use in 1 hand (like how Cassandra already wields it). By comparison, a zweihänder can be up to 6 feet in length (again including both the blade and hilt) and is only ever referred to as a 2-handed weapon (which should be obvious, since "zweihänder" literally translates to '2 hander').

 

But that's just if we're going to classify it based on its blade. Swords are also classified by their hilt, but I don't remember how the hilt of her standard sword looks, and I'm not familiar with hilt classification.

Lol did we really need all that from "The sword is heavy." ?

 

Simply saying "Swords are nowhere near that heavy" would have saved a lot of typing, lol. Especially not one carried on her hip. I didn't notice her limp? I think you might be mistaking her walking like a boss ****** for limping. It's called swagger And she has plenty of it.

Uh... Let's say I'm glad I didn't have to marry at 14.
 

 
Which is what I meant to say.

Different cognitive studies approached this in different ways but most assume "adulthood" not before the early 20s. As for the brain it always keeps developing but one commonly accepted notion is that the brain "does not begin to resemble that of an adult until the early 20s" (source).
 
But I don't actually want to take a discussion there.

  Ahh, I can relate.

I assume BW does not want to touch any racial issues that could be compared to our world. So the discrimination of elves is how they tackle it (just that the elves themselves have worked hard to stay on unfriendly terms with outsiders), trying to avoid discrimination among human/dwarven/qunari/elven peoples.
In fact I even wonder if there are any different races among elves, dwarves, qunari? They do all look pretty much the same to me. And there's not exactly many Viviennes around either.
Maybe sexual orientation isn't yet so "dangerous" to deal with?

 Yeah, race issues..Those are nasty..of cousre tumblr is anhive of reverse racisim. 

I once got a lecture from a Korean buddy of mine ( he wasnt a friend then ) for mistaking him for a chinese, he wasnt pleased at all lol since then i have done my best to differentiate between east Asians, for the most part i can tell who is from where now.

Try telling apart a shanghaieese and another chinese seriously. Want to tackle racisim? try Chinese racisim..live one town over and your inferior.  

Then what's the purpose of something like The World of Thedas? Or the in-game codex? Or even the game itself? There has to be at least basic background to work with. As long as it doesn't outright contradict what's already been established, go ahead and headcanon whatever you want. Literally everybody who RPs in a Bioware game does it already.

I was not being serious. I thought it was established I cant headcannon for ****..  

I think AW is joking. 
 
But you're right. Headcanon needs limits and guidelines. The worst "villain" Thedas could suffer is not Corypheus or the Archdemon, but some player who pulls **** out of their ass.

^ what he said.

As long as it's long,hard, sturdy and she can ride with it

I've vaguely considered romancing Cassandra with my Trevelyan, who starts out Andrastian, but she winds up more or less falling out of said faith after Corypheus' pronouncement and the Fade shenanigans. How would that likely work with Cassandra?

As long as you don't go our of your way to antagonize her about her beliefs.... Why would she care?

I don't know, I thought that seeing someone you love who once shared your religion start leaving it would produce some amount of distress and discussion on the topic.

And it's well known that Cassandra isn't close-minded or a zealot in her beliefs. It's also known that she is tolerant and accepting of people who follow other beliefs (or have no beliefs). The most likely outcome would be Cassandra coming to terms with the Inquisitor's change of faith. Probably try to get him to change his mind once or twice, but ultimately she would be okay with it, because she isn't a bigot.

 

The Inquisitor's faith is never even a factor she ever talks about in the context of romance.

Is it? If you ask me, one that is tolerant and accepting of those who don't believe is anything but a zealot or close minded. Especially one that asks another if their gods can't coexist.

Yeah, that was a mistype. I wasn't paying too much attention.

Ah I thought it might've been. Lol should have asked first, my bad

[AWTEW]

I wonder could Cassandra have a kid?

If she did, You could call the Inquisitor 'the maker' then.

Why couldn't she? She's only in her late 30's.

I have to wonder what kind of abusive household people who ship Varric and Cass come from. I hope it improves.

 

 

"Just because two people dislike each other doesn't mean they're about to kiss, Sparkler."

 

Really? I do not ship those two no longer, but implying those kind of things about the family of the people who still do is pretty distasteful.

[Colonelkillabee]

It's not as bad as Sam and Dean getting it on though.

God, yes. I don't know what it is about people and shipping but the fans seem dead set on doing the most they can to ruin their favorite character's image.
