Closest we've been to jealousy before now was Zevran and Isabela hitting on each other in DA2, and that was a single line of dialogue in one scene. It'd be a nice change of pace not to feel totally in control of the flow of the relationship for once, I agree.

In a BioWare game, we always get "dead old flame" trope. Having one alive for a chance would be welcome.

 

How about avoiding the "old flame" trope altogether and just making them friends? That would be better, in my opinion

As for Cassandra, am I the only one wondering if she will meet Regalyan again?

I'd find it humorous if he fell for a fiery Templar and the dissolution of the Circle and Order finally allowed them to make their relationship public. Or this:

Inquisitor: How exactly do you know Cassandra?

Regalyan: How does anyone know Cassandra?

Inquisitor: Oh, so she threatened to kill you too?

Regalyan: She most certainly did, held a sword to my throat.

Inquisitor: Really? She did the same thing to me.

Varric: My my Seeker, you certainly know how to make a first impression.

Cassandra: Maker, I hate you dwarf.

Oh, you know, stuff. Cassandra being eaten whole by a dragon before her entire dirty book collection was used by Josephine for a very poorly-thought-out reading class. That kind of thing.

"Maker, I hate you dwarf" doesn't sound like Cassandra. In fact, that sound like Carver in DA2 (he says that at the end of most of his banter with Varric in Act 1).

 

I also expect a lot more "Maker, I hate you Seeker" than the other way around too.

Yep, Cassandra's go to exclamation of exasperation is "Bullshit!" Other than that I guess she growls when she gets really annoyed? Can't imagine why...

Old tweet is appropriate here:

My office is near an audio mixing room. I get to hear Cassandra repeatedly grunt and exert...all.day.long.

To this day, I still think in Cassandra's romance scene we will her grunting...

[Elite Midget]

I hope Cassandra says Bull**** a lot to a lot of characters - Inquisitor included, especially when she's really aggravated. She seems like the type to call out others for their Bull****.

Nah, I think Cassandra will say that a few times to various characters that exasperate her and annoy the crap out of her.  She's not an ass like Carver is but she strikes me as someone that is quite serious a lot and doesn't like shenanigans too much.   I can see Varric annoying Cassandra and constantly teasing her out of a sort of childish sort of payback against her for the interrogation in DA2 and later on have it develop into part of their friendship.

Varric+Sera+Cassandra = Seeker's Last Nerve.

 

So playing it.

Cassandra wouldn't say "Maker, I hate you" to anyone. She is also more into death starring and threats.

[Milan92]

I can already see her pull those "Not sure if trolling or just plain stupid" faces.

[Dr. Doctor]

Varric: I don't like the Seeker staring at me like that. It's like she's looking right into my soul.

Inquisitor: She does have very lovely eyes.

Varric: You do realize that she has one hell of a temper right?

Inquisitor: She's just passionate.

Correction: 

 

She just has too much energy. She needs a proper outlet.

With Leliana having an article, was Cassandra's linked? If not, here we go: http://www.gameinfor...nquisition.aspx

 

Dragon Age: Inquisition has new characters joining the fight, but old faces are also returning to help restore peace. Recently, we looked at what confirmed party member Varric would bring to the table. Now we're delving into Cassandra's potential and why she's an intriguing character to bring back.

She's A Bit Of A Mystery

We don't know a great deal about Cassandra. In Dragon Age II, we only knew that she was a seeker of the Chantry. We also watched her interrogate Varric about Hawke, believing Hawke may hold the key to preventing the impending war. From her interactions with Varric, it was already apparent that she's strong-willed and that she's devoted to protecting Thedas. In Dawn of the Seeker, she struggled with not letting her fury overtake her, at times being a bit reckless in her pursuit of the truth.

Dragon Age: Inquisition should give us more answers as to why she was so adamant to find out more about Hawke. When we sat down with lead writer David Gaider for our cover story visit, helet on that there was more to her role than was initially apparent.  "She wasn't just investigating; there was more behind what she was doing," he said. "You find that out as the Inquisition comes around."

I'm not only excited to see what Cassandra will add to the overall story, but I also want to find about more about her as a person. I have a feeling she's more than just the disciplined, no-nonsense woman we've seen.

Overcoming Her Past

Cassandra has a complicated relationship with mages, which is part of why she joined up with the Seekers of Truth. When she was young, a blood mage killed her brother before her eyes, and ever since she's held a grudge against all mages. In Dawn of the Seeker, she started to realize that not all mages are bad, but she's still extremely cautious around them. After all, she's seen the ugly side to magic firsthand and knows that too much power in the wrong hands is catastrophic.

With her views beginning to change, it will be interesting to see how much her past plays a role in her ideals in Dragon Age: Inquisition. I suspect her brother will come up at some point; he's the reason she keeps a watchful eye over the mages. At the start of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Chantry and mages are at war, but the Templars and the Seekers of Truth have also broken away from the Chantry. I imagine watching the whole system come crashing down won't be easy for Cassandra, and I wonder how she feels about the Chantry. After all, the Seekers of Truth must have broken off from them for a reason, and maybe she's part of the reason.

Where Will She Stand?

I'm most looking forward to finding out Cassandra's true feelings on everything. What is her perspective on the Chantry, mages, and the Maker? As noted earlier, she was already starting to change her stance on many of her convictions. Some time has passed since the events of Dragon Age II, and BioWare already hinted that Cassandra has had time and experience to reassess her views. Creative director Mike Laidlaw told us, "To some degree, I think that Cassandra undergoes probably the biggest transformative arc of any character in Dragon Age II."

I think back to the words Cassandra's mentor left her with in Dawn of the Seeker: "Hate will only breed more hate." I don't think she'll be happy with all the conflicting sides and the ugliness that's occurring in Inquisition. I'm guessing she's had enough time to reevaluate her animosity and her focus will be on what's more important: peace. Watching how she's grown and finding out the why behind the change in her ideals should be exciting in its own right.

What Will She Add To The Group?

Dragon Age is all about arguments - characters who all have strong stances and are passionate about getting their views across. BioWare has often used party banter to not only display characters' personalities, but also to let them speak openly about why they support a certain side or issue in the war. We know from Cassandra's interactions with Varric in Dragon Age II that she isn't afraid to give people a piece of her mind, and now they're party members fighting together.

Varric should be a nice option to foil to her uptightness and may even loosen her up a bit. She'll also be quick to call him out on his extravagant tales. This should make for some good party banter in itself, but I'm also interested in how she'll react to new party member, Vivienne. Vivienne is not only a mage, but was a leader in the Circle. Obviously, she's very pro-Circle.  She's referred to as a "fearsome woman," who won't let anyone or anything get in the way of her convictions. Should she and Cassandra disagree - and you know they will - having Vivienne's strong personality go toe-to-toe with the already headstrong Cassandra should provide plenty of fireworks.

Being a Seeker of Truth has also taught Cassandra to suspect everyone. I'd expect her distrust to play a role not only with party members, but also with you as Inquisitor. In all, I suspect Cassandra will act as a voice of reason during the journey, but she also has some reckless tendencies, which are bound to surface amidst catastrophe.

I hope I can persuade Cassandra to be more favourable towards mages, Otherwise the romance will be difficult and she's my favourite (from what we've seen) romanceable character.

Key word 'surfacing'

[CrimsonN7]

I named my mabari Wrex, for nostalgia sake's if anything else.

 

 

I called mine Ghost, GoT reasons. And I called my canon Dalish she-elf rogue Arya, GoT strikes again.

Ah, okay. 

[Urazz]

I imagine she and Cullen and are going to be a bit lost on what to believe because of what they experienced in the past on both Mages and Templars.  It wouldn't surprise me if they both distrust both sides in the war because of the extremes on both sides but feel both have good points.

 

I figure at the most, both could only be favorable towards mages but with some caution and protection involved.
