I intend to allow all city elven members of the Inquisition to learn more about Dalish traditions and participate in our rituals if they so desire. Would Cassandra have an issue with this?
If you can shut off that demon-faucet in the sky, I imagine she'd tolerate it, if not be too happy abut it.

Recruiting elves would be pretty great. If the Inquisition army uniform can be customized, I would like to incorporate some Dalish designs onto it. Maybe even have the Keeps of the Inquisition reflecting the main character, with the inclusion of statutes of elven figures like Shartan and the Creators (perhaps Paragons would be the equivalent for a Dwarven protagonist). Allowing the elves to voluntarily learn about the elven religion would be ideal.
My gut tells me that Cassandra wouldn't have a problem with this, although I can't say why (and I admit I could be mistaken). I get the feeling her focus will mainly be on dealing with the Breach, even if it takes pragmatic (and difficult) steps to reach that point.
If we can have Zevran, Anders, and Morrigan, we can have a Tevinter mage who is pro-slavery and an Andrestian who is pro-Exalted March*.
I hated Anders and enjoyed gutting him, but thought he was a solid character and one of the best parts of DA II. I found Morrigan's philosophy cartoonishly evil at time, but always had her in my party and enjoyed her character development.
Alternatively, I think Sebastian would have been a better character if they'd given him some teeth. I found him milquetoast and conventionally handsome, and I think that killed the character. People forget about him all the time. I never see people forgetting Shale or Javik.
* And I'd argue that launching a preemptive strike against the qunari isn't so much evil as it is pragmatic.
I despised anders for both what he did in the game, and the way they changed him from awakening. He was a mainstay in my party in awakening, but he got put on the bench a lot in da2 because he kept giving me a headache.
Morrigan was cartoonishly evil at times, but her banter was just too good to pass up.
Sebastian was forgettable, and I think it was kind of a dick move to have to choose him or anders right at the end of the game (kind of felt like they added it last minute).

I feel the same way.
Playing a Dalish I'd like to have some opportunity to reflect his culture.Because for now the Inquisition feels very Andrastian and human centric.
And I think Cassandra wouldn't mind all that much as long as you're not trying to hurt andrastian faith in the process.
To be honest , I feel like Leliana might be more of a problem if we find anything painting the Maker in a bad light , such as some lost Chant of Light canticle.
I think Cassandra being a Seeker of truth could be more open minded.
Previously, our religious-minded companions have been rather mild and liberal in their treatment of those with different faiths. I wonder if Cassandra might be more of a hardliner.
I could see that to an extent (particularly in Origins when it came to The Warden representing a different faith than the one espoused by the Chantry), but Anders and Merrill have some religious debates (mainly due to his refusal to accept that she doesn't view things in the same way a religious Andrastian would). That might continue in Inquisition with Varric and Iron Bull, given what was said in one of the interviews.
As for Cassandra, I don't think that she would be a hardliner and put a heathen at the helm of an organization. I think the different racial backgrounds of the protagonist would necessitate that. Since I have a strong feeling that Cassandra will be the one companion who will remain at the side of the Inquisitor no matter what, I imagine she would be less of a hardliner the more traditional Andrastians. Although Leliana or Cullen may be another matter (depending on which direction their character arc has gone in), particularly the latter.

Well, I despise Javik and consider Shale a waste of space, so I'm not too saddened by any such loss. The angry growly antimage niche is already filled by Fenris.

Anders and Merrill didn't have religious debates - they had belligerent back and forths. Anders tended to judge Merrill for her choices, and she snapped back at him.
That's a good point. If you have characters who have more extreme views, you don't want them to be the ones the PC meets first and then has to have along for the rest of the story.
You generally want them like Bethany or Varric in that they come off as moderate and generally supportive of the PC.
I don't think Cassandra has extreme view , but errr...judging by the trailers , I wouldn't call the first meeting with Cassandra, friendly or supportive.
And by the way , Am I the only person who has a huge problem with her being so agressive?
I feel so alone.
You consider Sebastian a better character than Javik or Shale?
And Fenris is neither pro-slavery nor pro-Exalted March. I don't recall him saying much if anything about his faith.
Yes.
Shale: "We want an HK-47 expy as a DLC character, and we don't care how, whether it makes any sense, or if it's already redundant considering the other dwarf warrior in the party."
Javik: "Remember when Shepard absorbed the full essence of what it meant to be Prothean back in ME1, including their culture? We hope not, because we're jettisoning all of it to make space Nazis, and ruining the asari in the process."

Cassandra takes the same approach with Varric, but changes her stance gradually. It might be the same way with the protagonist, once she is certain the character didn't play a role in the massive deaths that transpired.

I don't have a problem. You are the sole survivor of a hugenormous catastrophe that killed thousands. I wouldn't be surprised if she drags you off in chains and interrogates you.

Thing is it's not like it's the first time she threaten someone...If it was I could understand her being distressed by the event.
But she's like this in Dawn of the Seeker and DA2.

Hot...
Hot...
like zevran said in haven, "i hope it involves chains, and i hope they ask me to join them."
Alot of good things going on in here i see.

If I met someone in the real world like her, I'd be put off as I don't consider yelling and threats of violence to be the proper way to interact with someone.
Within the context of the game though, I find aggressiveness fine. She's passionate and a fighter. Violence is part of her life.
If I met someone who enjoyed stabbing books, I'd, well... maybe take reading more seriously?

this is true, it wouldn't work in today's world, but in the time period that dragon age was loosely based on, it was more common (in the sense that violence is a part of life).
I think what they did with the Protheans was good (though I admit they came off as very similar to the Qun). I don't personally like much the Prothean culture, but I like the revelations on their nature.Yes.

There is a point where we ever saw her not being aggressive?

Well , she seems to calm down with Varric after a while.
So maybe telling her a story can soothe her?
I think she'll be more or less ok once you get to know her in game.
There is a point where we ever saw her not being aggressive?
Her anger is a large part of her motivation as a character. The whole blood mages killed my family thing (unless its been retconned) makes an aggressive personality type.There is a point where we ever saw her not being aggressive?
