You.... what?!

 

Oh and don't worry, I love that bit in the video as well.

So you're feeling better now? That's good

I had a sad. But it's gone now.

 

She's a lesbian's wet dream. To me she is anyway *sigh*

Is she ever! Rawr!

 

She's strong, confident, and she's actually moderate, since she supported Justinia's plans of Compromise between mages ans templars (Which for a moderate/neutral like me is a pus). I like her backstory, and her appearance (her face and her choice of armours).

Oooh, of all the typos to make... 

[Milan92]

True; that was a joke.

 

I guess there's too much templar in her for me to like.

 

Actually, as Elder King stated, she is very neutral towards both sides.

 

She never wanted the war between mages and templars.

But she's not a templar....

She might have the Templar specialization in the game. It would make more sense than Reaver and people suspect Blackwall is the Champion.

Too much that's templarish, rather.

 

There's also the fact that I did want the war, or at least the separation.

Crap .

[CrimsonN7]

 

Specifically the concept of a female warrior of this type? How much does her specific personality come into it, more than the archetype?

 

I think most of the gang got some of the bases as to why they find her appealing covered, which I agree on but I'll add some. I love her no- nonsense pragmatic attitude, her strength, her conviction, it's incredibly attractive. She is the knight in shining armor type *swoon worthy*, physically she is stunning to me, I'm not all that put off by her strong Chantry ties, she has her faith and purpose in life because of it, doesn't turn me off her.

I still hope that the companions have unique specializations like in Dragon Age 2. The specializations we get can come from elsewhere. 

 

And yes, I know Iron Bull has the Reaver. But he is a Qunari, so they supposedly have dragon blood and thus makes sense for his unique specialization.

That makes sense.

 

 

Mental. Image.

I believe they said that companions will indeed have their own spec again.

I tend to only enjoy faith and purpose that I happen to agree with; it's a major component of why I like Merrill and Anders, for instance. Leliana, I could appreciate for being a heretic.

Ah, that's good to hear if so. The whole "Let me teach you in seconds what took me years" way in Origins never made sense to me.

Plus I think they also said specializations are earned through quests or something like that, so no need for companions to have the same as you.

I lose it when a character combines "tough-as-nails" and "romantic" in a well-written way. Cassandra is simple as that for me. The rest is certainly there, but it's almost window dressing.

On the other hand, Josephine looks pretty, sounds pretty, dresses pretty, and looks to bust that tired BioWare archetype of the politicians always getting in the way of the soldiers who know best. That's all I really know about her, but none of it is bad.
 

Was doing the latter myself until The Keep became a more viable way for me to develop World States, as I have played all games repeated times covering most bases (ie; race, gender, Good, Evil, Snarky, etc). Still forced to wait a bit, but at least this goal is within reach this month.

As for the former, I empathize; no thesis, but did have a vast number of papers that required completion while working full time. Now any guilt will be battling the desire to play over the holidays when family is visiting.

"Whare's Uncle Eldon? We called him ages ago, and he has not called back. Turkey is getting cold!"

Yeah, the Keep beta has been a great way for me to create world states, but I'm not really doing the playthrough for that; the decisions and characters aren't new by any stretch of the imagination. (Female City Elf rogue Lelimancing "paragade" Warden-Commander; Female mage Izzy-rivalmancing Diplomatic Hawke. I don't think that the "canon" label is a meaningful one, but those are my favorite ways to play.) It's more for the experience than anything else - getting into the swing of Dragon Age and the universe. I also got the comic Library Edition and World of Thedas vol. 1 for my birthday last month for the same purpose.

On the thesis...well, it needs to be done next semester or I lose grant money anyway, so having a bit of an extra push is nice. I'll still have to TA and grade, but compared to editing passes and structural problems that'll be cake. And since my family isn't American (or even in America), I can spend Thanksgiving gaming with no remorse.

DA2's companion specs were all (mostly?) based off player specs. Merril a blood mage, Isabella a duellist etc. If the specs are different I would guess that again they are based off the player specs, possibly more so given the increased emphasis on them.

 

I would hope we don't learn the specs from the companions, but considering that there are nine companions, three of each class. Yeah...

I hadn't thought of that, it's a good point. I found ME's constant attack on anyone in politics seriously annoying.

[jtav]

My only real reservation on Josephine is that she seems to be the "sweet" LI and they've been everything from my canon LI (Leliana) to someone I liked but didn't particularly want to sleep with (Merrill) to a character I wanted to set on fire. So, er, need more data. Fair enough?

The fire one is Alistair?
It's reasonable to wait and see .

Agree; there is something about a character that has character. When someone has strength of mind and heart, it is quite appealing, and when presented aesthetically and intelligently, the overall effect is alluring, IMO.

Have my three class canon campaigns ready, plus one for the Evil Mage. The last World state will vary for other possibilities as I wish. As for the thesis, my wish and request is that you finish it; had a roommate that was this far along, and quit. So pls persevere.

Shes the tough serious warrior type that has a soft side she'll only show to you........in private.

 

I hope we can tease her to get her a little angry, just a little because shes cute when shes angry. And then you can find "ways" to make up for angering her.

 

Basically, anyone who wished they could romance Aveline now has Cassandra.

Hmm... @RealFPJr & @SimplyAllegra are debating which of them should get a copy of #DAI first. Josephine or Bull? What say you, Internet?

Good luck!

[Zu Long]

Is this the wrong place to ask... why exactly so many people find Cassandra appealing?

Well, speaking as a straight guy- a badass, hot warrior princess with short dark hair, who believes in justice and will knock heads when necessary, but has a soft romantic side she hides from the world? Bioware might as well have pulled her straight out of my dreams. I mean, they couldn't have created a girl that was my kryptonite harder if they tried.
