I think it's cute that her gear has little hearts on it. :wub:

 

Hearts are a common thing in our world heraldry - like the Danish coat of arms for instance.

Also I am pretty sure that they were used on medieval armor as well. I sort of wonder what inspired the devs to include this on her armor. Her royal heritage? Is this some sort of symbolism? Or just maybe it's cool and nice 'lets put hearts on her'   :D

Some armor had hearts on them, yes.

In heraldry, the heart is a symbol of sincerity/truth and goodness/charity...

I think those hearts on her armor are mostly a nod to the DA2 joke of Cassandra being a secret romantic and a fan of Varric's romance novel. Though, I personally hope the romantic part is true..

I feel the same ^_^ She is hard on the outside, but a big softie on the inside.

I do. The thing is feminine beauty is objectively aesthetically better looking. Masculine beauty is mostly more practical and simple, while feminine beauty is more elaborate and sophisticated. If you take hair for example, masculine typically is cut very short, for practical reasons, while feminine hairstyles are longer and carefully built. 

 

I think that this is why it's not objective.  Some of the prettiest women I have met were ones that wore their hair short.

It's not just the short hair. It's how you handle it as well, feminine short hair is also typically a bit longer and styled. Unless those you are talking about were bald/buzz-cut, but then they could have other beautiful parts.

lmfao ugh yes please! Putting Cassandra in a similar hat and acting like she's her daughter about to go to her first dance.

I myself prefer short over long hair on females.

Same. Long hair is such a bother. Your hands always get tangled in it when you run your fingers through it. Short hair is soft and fluffy and wonderful. :3

Although it is also nice to bury your face in long hair. Mhm. *goes to grope long-haired flatmate*

Me, I think it depends on the woman; some women look better with long hair, some with short, some can pull off the shaved head wonderfully while others can't.

 

Cassandra looks great with short hair, though.

I wonder what Casandra's romance arc will be like. Is it going be a cliche tough girl whos a big softie on the inside (not that I have any problem with this) or will we have to work at melting an ice queens heart.

 

Basically, guess the cliche that will be used! lol

Thanks.

 

Yeah, that doesn't sound very appealing to me. But nothing we know about Cassandra so far seems to indicate that she'll be like that.

I realize I'm late to the topic of sexual experience (or lack thereof), but I just had to stick my head in and mention that I was put off by the pooh-poohing of the idea of older virgins a few pages back. Believe it or not, it actually is perfectly possible to make it to one's twenties or thirties or beyond without having slept with someone. Personally, I'm a 29-year-old virgin, and I know several people in their mid to late-thirties who are also virgins. Not saying we're common, but we're also not unicorns. 

 

Also, can we not with the implication that one has to have had sex to be "worldly and mature"? With regard to Cassandra specifically, are you telling me that you would look at a woman who has traveled throughout much of the known world, ferreted out assassination plots, saved the Divine from being eaten by a dragon, risen to near the top ranks of a secretive and feared organization, and earned titles like "Hero of Orlais" and "Right Hand of the Divine," and still, upon finding out she's a virgin, cry "NOPE! Not worldly and experienced enough for me!" Because...yeah. I'm pretty sure there's more to life and the sum total of human experience than whether or not one has had sex. Ditto for the tired old claim that people who don't regularly partake in "physical intimacy" are somehow broken, dysfunctional, or otherwise abnormal or less than human. That may or may not have been how those comments were intended, but trust me, when you hear it as often as I've heard it, that's how it starts to come across. And it's really dismissive and offensive to people who are asexual, or who, like me, simply choose to be celibate. 

 

To bring this slightly more on topic, while I don't expect Cassandra to be a virgin (and don't have a strong opinion on her prior sexual experience either way, because...that's a little creepy), I think it would be cool if she was. In media, older virgins ("older" being anything past, say, 20) are either nonexistent or the butt of jokes. I wouldn't expect BioWare to take the latter route--or at least, I would hope not--and I definitely can't see Cassandra as either the "blushing, skittish virgin maiden" archetype or the "socially hopeless desperate nerd" archetype. I would find it really refreshing to interact with a character for whom virginity is simply a state of being, not a disease they need to be cured of.
