Huh, I could've sworn I read it somewhere, ah well. I hope so at least. What do you guys think about her character model now? They changed her up quite a bit from her DA2 face.
She looks fine to me.
I'm not surprised as they changed her DA II model a couple times before it came out.
What if she only likes boys? 
Since Jade Empire, BioWare has provided awesome same-sex romances for women. I thought I'd be disappointed when I couldn't romance Morrigan, but then I romanced Leliana and she was sweet, girly, and devoted to me.
And you know what? Being female friends with Morrigan was great. When she told me I was like a sister, I got all sniffly and wanted to give her a hug.
I romanced Isabela in one playthrough of DA and Merrill in another. In each one, I liked the romance but I also liked the friendship.
For me, the Liara romance in Mass Effect was better than any of the others offered (I felt bad for Kaiden/Ashley fans after the Shadow Broker DLC, it was so good) but I enjoyed having Tali as a friend and wished they hadn't gutted the Jack and Miranda friendship paths in ME 2, because I loved the characters.
If Cassandra isn't an LI? Then I'll still love her because she'll still be a great character. And I have no doubt that whatever s/s romance is available will be wonderful.
