It's an issue when a companion is in direct contradiction to your character, like a pro-templar Hawke accepting apostates. It's why I'd prefer it if none of the companions were mandatory.
That above example is exactly why I want to be able to send her away on my pro-everything-Cass-hates playthroughs.
Was irritating when my pro-Circle Hawkes couldn't turn his apostate companions over to the templars.
it sounds to me like Viv will be the pro circle in out party, and Solace will probably be the opposite (i'm basing these ideas out of my ass). Sera will be the agent of chaos and Cassandra will be about order.
Meaning that if you are strong at are trying to build the nation you will play into Cassandra's points. She works for the Divine and no one else really. She is there because she is ordered to be, and may end up either regretting it or changing due to the inquisitor's influence. I think really she is more neutral than the others (minus maybe Varric), seeing as how she needs to restore the country for her religion, and nothing more than that.
to be fair i am very tired and i think rambling.
I'd rather see Cassandra there as a free agent who wants to stop the veil tears, and not one beholden to the Divine. It'll make certain playthroughs quite a bit limiting if she's simply there to extend some Chantry influence to the Inquisition.
i could live with that, but i wonder if she really does attack the grey wardens...then why?

It's probably an attack by the Inquisition, and she happens to be leading the charge. The Wardens are up to something.

up to awesomeness!
Ugh. You people type faster than I can google search. But I think this is relevant to the conversation.
“To some degree, I think that Cassandra undergoes probably the biggest transformative arc of any character in Dragon Age II,” Laidlaw says. Cassandra has always supported the Chantry, but after talking to Varric and seeing both sides of the issue, her opinions may change.

That kills me. I don't want the Wardens to be the bad guys, ever 
Hey, Hana, maybe if Loghain is in DA:I, Cassandra will be attacking him

I would agree. She came in to her interrogation of Varric, thinking that she knew basically what Hawke's story was. However, what Varric told her completely shattered that illusion, and probably rocked her world a tad. She might very well be questioning what she has believed in, because it could easily be seen as the Chantry is falling apart while the mages and Templars fight it out. I'm really interested to see where they go with her story.

It may be optional. I get the feeling the Inquisitor will ally with, or oppose, certain factions. The templar fort in the trailer is likely one where the player can ally with the templars, or oppose them, since the developers have said the player will be a "deciding factor" in the conflict between mages and templars.
I get the same feeling about the Wardens being a potential ally or enemy, and the elusive secret that was eluded to in Kirkwall. Depending on how the player may respond to the revelation, the protagonist may be an ally who helps them, or an antagonist who seeks to defeat them in order to stop their goals.
As to the Wardens, I feel that the ones attacked in the trailer could very well have been up to something very sinister.
*sigh* In your opinion.
I actually found the males to be better written than the females. In my opinion.
Anyway, I do wonder if Cass is going to have super-thick plot armor. Not being able to send her away or kill her, while understandable, would be frustrating on certain playthroughs.
They do write a cliched man who is noble but lost a wife/lover/girlfriend and grieves about her? And then there is also Carth and Carth 2.0 aka Kaidan, they even share the same awful voice actor!
Depends on what devs plan to do with the series and possible sequels. People complained a lot about Liara's plot armour, not so much about Morrigan.

How this can be combined with her supposed "rigid" nature?

I always saw the Warden's keep in the trailer as having been taken by some other faction, personally.

I'm pretty sure that was Cass attacking them, no?

No, I mean the people who were inside the keep took it from the Wardens.
It's been posited that the Wardens may come under attack from the Red Templars for their harboring of apostates and even blood mages; could be Cassandra's trying to retake the keep from them?
Cassandra seems like a non-trivial character. I'm also very interested in her voice actor, that could make or break a NPC. It's noteworthy that female NPCs in Bioware games are usually better written than cliche male NPCs. Jennifer Hale looks like a perfect match for Cassandra.

Feathers leaves the Wardens for some reason. In that concept art of him near the gallows he is ripping off his Warden amulet, so I think some Wardens must be doing something he disagrees with.
That could be a lot of things. I am holding out hope that it's not something that pushes the Wardens into Antagonist territory; between Legacy and Last Flight, that seems to be where they're going with it, though.
And I do not approve.
Cassandra Pentaghast is voiced by Miranda Raison.
I doubt that will be the case. Even if she's no longer part of the Chantry, she's one of the faithful. Her viewpoint will be colored by that.
I expect Varric will be the unpolitical, just-be-good companion.
She voiced Cassandra in DA2 but would she do it again in Inquisition?

It sounded like her in the PAX demo last year

Special Snowflake is another term for Writer's Pet, which is a character the writer has favoritism towards so they are given things like special abilities or most commonly given plot armor.
I find special snowflake, in my own application, applies more to the realities that the player character, and the party members, tend to be rather unique and exceptionally capable individuals compared to much of the population, by virtue of being tied to the narrative.
The player character tends to be the most special snowflake, by virtue of being the one that resolves the principle conflicts in the game.

I'm pretty sure they have confirmed that it was her.
