It has nothing to do with race, though. The human Inquisitor is a noble (or former noble, who could probably regain his title), which is probably too similar to the life which Cassandra left behind.
That wouldn't really work considering the mage class

Hawke, even as a mage, regained the Amell family's nobility. Furthermore, magic is viewed positively in Nevarra.
As I understand it gating is only occurring due to the cost of animating all the different race combinations. Thus any in-game reason why a LI won't romance a certain race is cover for "it was too much work to make this look good" ( which is completely reasonable ). Has anyone at BioWare made statements to the contrary?

They have said that racial restrictions will be done for "story reasons".
Iron Bull is romanceable by anyone, which puts the "cost-to-animate" thing to rest.
Except Iron Bull was initially gated entirely due to animation costs ( and had story reasons to explain why ). He'd still be gated were it not for the heroic efforts of John Epler.
I don't think anyone is race gated against humans tbh.

Why?
Why?
Just a feeling is all. They get favored overall so I won't be surprised.
Though if someone is race gated against humans, it could be Sera due to her disliking nobles probably.
I recall reading something or seeing an infographic that said a large percentage ( want to say 70%+) of players played a human in DA:O. Considering that romances are specialized content that consume a considerable amount of development resources, they'd probably want that content be available to as many players as possible. So if anyone is losing out it'll likely be the less played races :/

Well, Sera doesn't have to worry about the prospect of a (potentially unwanted) political marriage like Cassandra does.

Actually, romance content is more expensive (for the writers and cinematic designers, who have to create more variations) when it is more widely available.
Otherwise, all the monosexual LIs (Cassandra, Sera, Dorian, and Cullen) would probably be available to everyone.

Why would Cass have to worry about that?
Why would Cass have to worry about that?
Well, she is technically part of the royal family of Nevarra. I guess they could try to pressure her into one if things were really bad for them? I'm not sure how much influence they could have over her considering she's the right hand of the Divine and an important member of the Inquisition.
Why would Cass have to worry about that?
The human Inquisitor is a noble.
As far as "story reasons" for being gated against humans goes, I think that Cassandra would have a fairly decent one.
Bear in mind, I am merely speculating.
Several people have been arguing for why Cassandra might be gated against all the other races. I was offering up something new, or at least something I personally haven't seen argued yet.
Maybe her being from a royal backgound isn't really important plot-wise? I mean besides this having an influence on her upbringing/view of the world and her ability to give you some insights on how to deal with Nevarran related stuff I don't see it being relevant.
Youngest doesn't necessarily mean young. The Inquisitor can be anywhere from 20-40. I'm sure she'll find a reason to be unimpressed with the Player Characters' background.
Yeah, but it will be strongly hinted at that we will be 25 or younger. Watch. I'm ok with going after an older women anyways because I love making my characters young.
*Be future me playing Dragon Age Inquisition*
*roll a Qunari male rogue*
*get a decent ways into the game and forming a bond with Cassandra*
*finally get to the part where you can let her know you're interested*
*click on the Heart in the conversation wheel*
Cassandra: I'm sorry but I cannot love a qunari! It would just be....too weird.
*promptly pause game, scroll down the menu, click on Start A New Game.*
Be honest people, you're going to do this too right?
Amen to that. If it comes to this, I'll create a human Inquisitor in a blink of the eye. And I'll name him Bob. Or Jasper.
Cadash and Cass, though...
Not that I believe she will be race-gated. But, you know, just tring to mentally and emotionally prepare myself just in case. 
And now, the art!

Nope, wouldn't make any sense. She doesn't have anything against nobles.

Well it takes all kinds to make a world. Personally I want to avoid any kind of cougar thing going on when I romance Cass as a human.

She left a similar lifestyle behind, suggesting that she dislikes it (or perhaps the people even).
She left a similar lifestyle behind, suggesting that she dislikes it (or perhaps the people even).
Or it just wasn't for her. She never states any kind of distaste for noblility. Afterall, she is a distant cousin of the royal Pentaghasts, not a princess. She would have been rich, but not abundantly so. And she was taught to fight at an early age, given her dragonslaying skills. As she got older and embraced her growing faith, I doubt the life of a noble appealed to her at all. But this does not mean she automatically hates those who like it.
Besides, the human Inquisitor is one of two things:
1. A Circle mage, something that Cassandra has indicated quite clearly that she can feel some level of affection for.
2. A noble now in service to the Chantry(whether they like it or not).
Neither of these indicate that they are a typical noble, and therefor something that Cassandra would innately dislike. In fact, Option 2 implies a great deal of commonality with Cassandra.
So as nice as it might be to have the humans racegated for a LI(And I do think that will have to happen it Varric is a LI), Cassandra is almost certainly not going to be the one they can't romance. In fact, they are the only ones guaranteed, IMO. I highly, highly, highly doubt that Cassandra is racegated, and certainly not for humans. I can see reasons for any of the other races, but not the humans.
For anyone who got through the books, is she like... better in that? Likeable? Fun?
Because in DA2 she captures/kidnaps Varric, damn near stabs a knife through his ****** and screams at him repeatedly. Just wondering why she's so popular.

She hasn't been featured directly in the books.
As for her popularity, it's because she's awesome.

I wouldn't mind the cougar aspect, as long as it is recognized kind of like how Leliana's romance with a city elf is.

Short of racism, the only "story reason" for her to be gated against non-humans would likely involve her being of noble birth, which can be twisted around just as easily to justify her being gated against humans as well.
Of course, we don't know her actual opinion of nobility, so I was just speculating.

Because she was one of the first reveals for DA2 and people have wanted her as a companion since. This was back when Varric was still 'The Illusive Dwarf'.
