If a child is involved in her romance, it's epilogue stuff, not middle of the game stuff. Maybe she'll mention it towards the end, but I don't know if we will ever see children in romances again :(

Can I get a hallelujah!

..I had to think about this more.

 

It doesn't seem Gaider's style to write two characters that are as openminded about similar things. You have Dorian on one hand, and Cass the other. They're not going to like the same stuff. That much I'll guess.

David has said Cassandra is straight because there's a specific story he wants to tell. Her sexuality is not just something he picked out of a hat.

 

Oh? I'm looking foward to it then.

The last time Mr.Gaider wrote a character whose sexuality was important, we ended up with it being the only way to defeat the Big Bad without the need for a sacrifice by way of birthing something that had never existed before in the form of an Old God reborn as a human.

 

It should be interesting, at any rate.

Maybe Cassandra had a child with her dead husband, whom the male Inquisitor reminds her of.  And maybe she thinks the child is dead, but he or she was really kidnapped, or she's estranged from the child!

 

I've heard that this is a very plausible scenario that can happen to heterosexuals on occasion.

Well, maybe Dorian is super interested in how Nevarra does things, but that irks Cassandra as she is not a fan of Tevinter and may not be too squishy about magic. Conversely, she might be really interested in why he dislikes his Tevinter is run, but he doesn't like talking about the things that go on, or that his family does.

It'll be interesting. I don't get the feeling they'll be too much in conflict.. But yet very different still.

 

Not like Alistair and Morrigan. Or Fenris and Anders (I know Hepler wrote Anders, but apparently the general ideas were already set by Gaider).

The child isn't a... blood mage now, is he?

I think you just combined every father LI thing from every Bioware game ever.

Didn't Gaider write Morrigan? That romance definitely involved children.

 

It really didn't. The DR doesn't count as making it a romance about children.

I guess I'm unsure as to why you object to the question. If David made these characters because he wanted to tell different stories and their sexuality it part of it, why is it a problem to ask about them?


I don't particularly object but I think people are reading far too much into a stock answer david has put out for both his characters and comparing it to a statement a different writer put out. In asking this question though People seem to be looking for a specific reason(she needs man sperm for babies, lol) why she couldn't be gay/bi, which I likely doesn't exist other than fixed orientation allowing them to delve into a specific sexuality for character arcs rather than skirt round ambiguously in the old approach.

If the resolution to DAI's plot is that Cassandra just really needs to get laid, I'm going to laugh myself into delirium.

We have to kill her teenage maleficar son. The quest will be called late term abortion.

If you guys have a such a low view of the writing or motivations, why even stick around this long? ;)

And we spend the entire game trying to convince her.

Men who are player characters to boot.

You're going to be a gender nonspecific life giver- we thought you knew.

I'm going to laugh if having Dorian and Cassandra in the party result in banter about men.

 

Thinking about it, the Bechdel test needs to add gay men to its parameters.

She had blue balls so hard hell was released on Earth and millions died? Seems accurate.
