I think they are hiding her age for these reasons.

 

1) Nevarran monarchy is not in favor of electing queens who are in their 40s who have no offspring. It does not make for very good dynasty continuity. Most likely her age will be revealed by dialogue choices. 

 

2) The majority of straight men prefer young women to romance. There are countless studies showing this to be the case. This is just a biological reality since men in general tend to look for youth and fertility in women, it is neither sexist nor immature. If you are having an LI whose age is outside the range of the majority preference (I do not see many 38 to 40 year old women being successful in initiating a romantic relationship as opposed to 23 to 26 year old women), it would make sense to keep it under wraps.

Then why was Miranda Lawson so popular as a LI?

Cassandra has none of those things. No claim whatsoever. No backing. She's just any other Pentaghast family wise. 

 

Please show me where dev talk about Cassandra standing in the Pentaghast family, because the only thing I remember is that she's a distant cousin of the king, which could mean that she's as close as second cousin and that her great-grandparent were king and queen of Nevarra.

Bedies, I doubt she is interested in that sort of things.

Miranda Lawson :- Genetically engineered to be the perfect woman. 

 

I doubt Cassandra is conceived or engineered in such a way.

For all we know Cassandra could be 1000+ years old and eat children to keep young. She wouldn't be the first one in the setting to do that...

She was 35 years old in ME 2 and infertile as well.

 

Yet that didn't turn people off from romancing her.

She has everything the average man would find attractive. Supermodel good looks, large and firm breasts & arse, lovely hip-to-waist ratio, clear skin (not scarred), long hair and skintight clothing.

Fair enough, but my point is that not every male is interested in young "attractive" females.

Truly the most controversial issue when pursuing a romance in a video game, 'Can I get her pregnant?'. True it's a big part of the Morrigan story, and Liara and my MShepard joked about 'little blue children' I don't think that pregnancy and fertility are fundamental aspects when pursuing a relationship in a video game.

Not to worry. Cassandra has the large & firm breasts & arse (the challenge is getting her to show it off) and good hip-to-waist ratio.

 

Now if only she did not think that my Inquisitor is the Herald of Andraste...If only she was not a staunch believer...

But that point isn't exactly proven by Miranda. Judging by her looks, she might just as well be 22.

Unless she's 48+, that's not a problem.

According to which of her features, exactly?

 

She has no wrinkles or skin impurities whatsoever. Her face model was 27.

I hope there's a good reason, story wise, not to reveal her age and it's not just pandering to #2 of lowest common denominator of (mostly) men who may freak out because ZOMG, Cass is 40.

I have no idea what that plot line could be, but speculating is half the fun, amirite?

Yeah, I think the thing that fanned the flames of my pointless speculation is dev specifically answered the tweet (when so many go ignored) and then said (paraphrasing) "You'll have to wait and see!"

Could be nothing, of course, as you said. Just a week left to go, and I am seizing on any little thing to obsess over.
