I hope they confirm Cassandra for female LI soon so I can stop getting spoiled.
I'm hoping they confirm her as a Love Interest for a male Inquisitor too. It was never confirmed who could romance her, was it?

No, but I think its pretty safe to assume that Cass will be an option for males. Wether she will also be available for females is the question.
I personally think they should just make her bi. While I never placed much stock in the whole "romantic" line - its atleast something - so they might as well just make it happen.

Ducking out as soon as you get word?
Indeed. Cass must have been a witness. However, what surprises me is why she wasn't with the Divine herself...unless she was just coming back from Kirkwall to meet at the Urn, and she saw the blast as her group was approaching.
Cassandra and Leliana could have been focused on securing the perimeter. There are dangers outside the ruins. You have a town of cultists, potentially a High Dragon, and possible threat from the templars (if they aren't attending the meeting). Depending on the blast radius, of course; the "thousands" dead could have included the residents of Haven as well.

It's just that number "thousands" seems like so damn many. Haven wasn't that big, if I recall correctly. Damn, all that lyrium in the mountain must have been partially responsible for a blast that size.

Sandal: "Boom...."
Well, these games always have a certain amount of space compression in them. I'm sure Haven was more than...like, what? A dozen buildings? Probably had at least a couple hundred people living there.
Sandal: "Boom...."
Sandal caused the explosion confirmed.
Sandal: "Enchantme-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Sandal: "En-Enchantment?"

I agree about the lyrium playing a part in the blast radius of such an explosion. As for the size of the town, it could be an example of game segregation between lore and gameplay. Haven thrived for roughly 900 years, so it may have had a larger population than some towns, but that may not have been represented in the game, similar to how small Denerim is compared to what it's really supposed to be. There's also no telling how many mages and members of the Chantry may be attending the meeting - it could be quite a sizable number as well.
Oh, I can't wait to see how galling it will be for some people if they feel forced to accept becoming a religious/Andrastian symbol outside their personal control.
Be the Inquistior today. Be remembered and thought of as a proper Andrastian by the Chantry by generations forever after, even if you weren't.
It reminds me of the good old times in Origins. It doesn't matter if you were a Dalish elf or a Noble dwarf, the Chantry mothers were very happy to remind you that no matter how rude you were, the Maker smiled on those who helped their children. Didn't Elthina said the same in DA2?
Elthina: "It was a near thing, what happened in Ferelden. But in the end, the Maker stepped in".
Hawke: "The Hero of Ferelden stopped the Blight. The Maker had nothing to do with it".
Elthina: "Sometimes the Maker chooses the most unlikely vessels. Even a (insert condescending categorization) may be doing His work".
With the Grey Wardens happens the same. Although the Chantry doesn't trust them completely (they don't shy from recruiting criminals, heathens and even blood mages), WoT states that "the Maker smiles sadly on his Grey Wardens, as no sacrifice is greater than theirs". It's nothing new, actually. Real-life Christian theology has the concept of "virtuous paganism", to adress the issue of what happens with people who weren't evangalized but led virtuous lives.
Good luck to those who try not to become a messianic symbol. Cassandra may be more pragmatic about it, but I can see Leliana composing hymns already.
Sandal caused the explosion confirmed.

Poor Sandal. Goes from Blight ravaged Ferelden to Tevinter Hellmouth Kirkwall, and now civil war Orlais, with a topping of veil tears, Mage-Templar War, and possible elven rebellion. Bodahn must be kicking himself at his luck.
Where's that monty python skit about the messiah denying his own divinity?
Maybe the Inquisitor is Benjamin Sisko?

Btw, speaking of Bodahn, i know this is a Cassandra thread, but i just thought of this. We might see his death in Inquisition ![]()
That is if he isn't already dead at the start of the game. He was getting old at the end of DA2

First he tries to explain himself:
Then his mother has to do it for him:
Cassandra will probably facepalm if this happens in DA:I. Leliana, not so much, I guess. Wasn't it suggested that those two were at odds? Or did I imagine it?

It's almost suspicious. Maybe he is the one behind these events...

They seemed alright with eachother at the end of DA2.
And they both are very devoted to the chantry and the divine.
But i'm sure there'll be atleast a little animosity. They're very different in their personality.
Leliana wanted to take Cass shoe shopping, but Cass didn't feel like it.
And thats how their clash began ![]()

I do like how he went from the merchant who sold my Warden overpriced items to an attentive father who worried and planned for his son's future. I don't necessarily think he'll be dead in Inquisition, since he hadn't gone gray yet; he seemed more worried about Sandal having something steady once he was too old to take care of him, which is why he accepted the position for Sandal at Celene's court. Bodahn might be in the Winter Palace with Celene (and possibly even Morrigan, given her new role in court).
Well, in act three of DA2 Bodahn had some how gotten himself and Sandal a place in Empress Celene's court(possibly via recommendation from Morrigan?); that seems like a very risky place to be during a civil war.

It's easy to imagine it with Gaider's comment over a LelianaXCassandra fanart where he said that the writer will laugh (at the image/idea, there was no context in reality). But without the context he could have mean a thousand different things that the writers would find funny.
The only scene we have with both of them talking to each others could be taken either way as well.
See, Cassandra is rude to Leliana by not letting her finish her question and the "Gone, just like the Warden" could be seen as being totally insensible to Leliana's feeling. But it could also mean that they know each other extremely well.
Cassandra is Right Hand of the Divine. If you're on the wrong side of the Chantry she's essentially Darth Vader. Leliana is Left Hand of the Divine. She uses guile and her experience as a bard to carry out her orders.
Cassandra will pin you to a wall with a blade to your throat and demand that you tell her what she wants to know. Leliana will make pleasant smalltalk and attempt to coax you into giving away information... or sneak into your room at night and hold you at knifepoint.
Cassandra probably doesn't care for Leliana's way of doing things and vice versa. She'd probably roll her eyes at her "vision/sign from the Maker" shtick as well.
One's a hardened Seeker with a grudge against inanimate objects, the other's a spoony bard with a spiritual side. Together they fight crime on the rough streets of Orlais.
Regardless of their relationship towards eachother i think we can all agree that they make a pretty damn kickass duo.

Sacred Ashes Leliana still gives me chills.
