Spoiler

[DRAGON AGE]: Dragon Age fans will remember Cassandra from the previous game, but for those meeting her for the first time, who exactly is she?

[DAVID GAIDER]: Cassandra is a member of the Seekers of Truth, the order that led the templars away from the Chantry to battle the mage rebellion… but she is also servant to the Divine, the spiritual leader of the Chantry and thus all of Thedas.

 

[DA]: Does that ever force her to pick sides?

[DG]: She is part of both worlds, and when those worlds come into conflict, she chooses to stand with the Divine because, as she sees it, the Divine is seeking to end the chaos rather than add to it. To her fellow Seekers, this makes Cassandra a traitor, but it puts her in a position to be there when the Inquisition is founded, to do what needs to be done.

 

[DA]: How much has Cassandra changed since players last saw her?

[DG]: When Cassandra met Varric in Dragon Age II, she was convinced the world worked a certain way: things were black and white, good and evil. If there was a problem, there was a distinct cause behind it that could be dealt with.

 

[DA]: And now?

[DG]: What we find in Inquisition is a Cassandra who's realizing the world doesn't work like she believed it does. Her duty is not absolute, and perhaps neither is her faith. Having doubt need not make either of those things weaker, however, and that's the path that Cassandra has to now walk.

 

[DA]: How do other characters in the game see her?

[DG]: I think there's a big difference between how others would describe Cassandra and how she would describe herself. She can come across as very stern and rigid, perhaps even humorless, but then she'll surprise you with a wry comment or a bit of sarcasm. The things she has real passion for, she holds secret as she doesn't believe putting them on display is very seemly. There is a sense of propriety and duty in Cassandra that some of the other characters simply can't resist poking at until they elicit a reaction.

 

[DA]: What is Cassandra like on the battlefield? Does she run toward danger head on?

[DG]: It depends on where the greatest danger lies and who is threatened. She's very practical in battle, and far more oriented toward protecting the helpless and innocent before any other consideration. Fighting is not about having style or showing off; it's a necessary means to an end.

 

[DA]: She sounds like a noble ally.

[DG]: Cassandra does what she believes is right and just, and holds those values as more important than things like law or duty. If she needs to rebel against tradition in order to drag the world kicking and screaming back into a semblance of order, then she will do it. Once Cassandra commits to a cause, she jumps in with both feet, and the Inquisition is no exception.

 

[DA]: What did you enjoy most about writing Cassandra's character?

[DG]: At heart, deep down, Cassandra's a romantic. If you called her that, she would completely deny it, but it's absolutely true, and it made her quite fun for me to write. I don't think I've made a character quite like her previously.

 

[DA]: Would you say that Cassandra is easy to get along with?

[DG]: There are characters she sees eye to eye with, The Iron Bull being one of them. Vivienne is another. Even with those two, however, there are particular points that will cause contention between them—the Inquisition's cause is up to the player, after all, and involves a very disparate group of people, and thus none of them are going to be on exactly the same page. Of course, there are also some characters with whom Cassandra very much does not get along, and that can cause some tension, depending on who the player tries to take along.

[LolaLei]

LOL, right on cue!

[Crunchycarp]

I can't wait to go to whatever Orleisian city this is, it just looks so beautiful. Lol sry thought I should share this

This is interesting:

"She is part of both worlds, and when those worlds come into conflict, she chooses to stand with the Divine because, as she sees it, the Divine is seeking to end the chaos rather than add to it. To her fellow Seekers, this makes Cassandra a traitor, but it puts her in a position to be there when the Inquisition is founded, to do what needs to be done."

That actually goes some way into possibly describing the situation Cullen is in too. He obviously didn't join the rebel Templars and remained loyal to the Divine, like Cassandra did, which means the Templars will see him as a traitor too.

[CuriousArtemis]

Cassandra... yay lol

 

BUT -- this is good news. It means they're continuing the releases, so we'll probably get to see everyone by end of next week.

 

No hints about romance though They are going to make us wait until the game ships, I just know it. Well then! No preorders for me, well... I might still preorder it, but I'm not playing it until I know what's what.

[VampOrchid]

I wonder who she doesn't get along with. Depending on Cullens views in this game, I could see them bumping heads a bit

[LolaLei]

All we need now is Varric and Leliana's "reveals" and then we'll have the new ones left.

[LolaLei]

I totally called it that she'd be a secret romantic, those hearts on her outfit totally gave it away!

[Crunchycarp]

I hope we catch her secretly reading smut.

For the first time in foreverrrrrrr.... I've reached my quota of likes! But I wanted you to know, that I liked your post!

[LolaLei]

I bet she totally reads Varric's smutty novels.

Speaking of which, didn't Varric write one about the Knight Captain of the Templars and a Guard or something? I swear Aveline asks him what happens next in one of the DLCs.

I just thought she was trying to have little bit of girly armor =)

[LolaLei]

I would have thought that too, but the devs said that their outfits tell a story too, it tells you a little about their personality 'n' sh!t.

I'm leaning towards him being fired after DA2. He goes to Orlais to work as a "tactical consultant". Hence no Templar armour and instead a Lion mask.

I don't think so but this is my favorite banter with them.

Varric: Ugh, why does it always have to be so complicated? Can't Aveline just bash through the wall?
Aveline: Very funny, Varric.

[Galagraphia]

Naw, it sits like this:

*snip*

But it has a smaller visor hole where the lions mouth is. The head of the lion is basically where the top of that motorbike helmet is.

So basically he does cosplay Alexander the Great!  His helmet looks kind of like that.

 

Oh, it's good they are still updating the profiles of our heroes. It gives me hope that maybe next week will bring some new news 

Anyway, I love Cassandra, looks like she will be my #1 tank (because Cullen is now a lion  ). And I bet the romance with her will give me diabetes. I don't mind diabetes

Is that a hint? ;-P

Cassandra sounds perfect, she's definitely going to be in my party a lot.

I'm probably going to be alternating between her and IB quite frequently at this rate.

[LolaLei]

Is the banter for it on YouTube?

I know he had Siege Hard and Siege Harder, tales of a guard in hightown much to Aveline's dismay. I loved going through my Hawke's bookcase

[CuriousArtemis]

Not sure... But yeah, it's canon in the game. It's an erotic romance between the knight-captain and the guard captain.

[Xeyska]

I'll probably have them both in the party.

 

Ugh, why does everyone sound so good. I'm going to have a really hard time picking who I want in my party. It was easy in Origins and DA2, not so much with this current cast. lol
