This is one of the reasons why I don't like Cassandra. She strikes me as a classic example of someone who believes that their sorrow... their rage... their outrage, justifies everything they do. I don't discount or diminish the terrible things she experienced, but she seems incapable of contemplating how someone on the other side of her crusade might feel exactly the same way she does. What's more is that she seems to believe that her problems can all be solved at the end of a sword. ("When you're born a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.") None of this means that there's justification for extreme retribution on either side, but it does lend itself to cause and effect. Something she seems to be blind to.

 

I do like some of the comments in the early part of this thread... Especially the one that suggests she re-evaluate the meaning of "threat". I suppose, over time, my character would say the he considered her as much a threat as anything... and for all the reasons mentioned above. "We may be allied for the sake of battling this evil, but once that's done, what happens in the aftermath?" Does she go back to business as usual... Hating mages simply because they're mages and because of her rage and sorrow?

 

Cassandra needs a reboot and I hope this game gives her one.

Inquisitor: can I get you a ladder so you'll get off my back?

[ames4u]

Dwarf: "There are demons pouring from the sky and you think I am the threat? No wonder the most influential religious organization has lost it's sh*t with people like you in charge."

 

Human: "If I had been the one to do this, then why in high holy hell would I return to the scene of the crime? Better yet, if I wielded the power to do this much damage, wouldn't I just obliterate you instead of standing here getting threatened?"

 

Elf/Dalish: "My people were killed in the blast shemlen. I was charged with protecting them during this peace treaty and failed. Do not insult their memory or me by trying to pin this atrocity on me. I must avenge my people and by the dread wolf you had better get out of my way."

 

Elf city: "...Not trying to be funny, but would you please tell me what the f*ck happened here?!? I don't remember it looking like this five minutes ago when I took that nap!"

 

Tal'vashoth: "I know not who was responsible for this. But I will find them and I will make them pay for what they have done here."

 

To be honest I'd say all of mine would too dazed or shellshocked to really respond beyond a "whaa?"

 

Only my mage would have the sense to ask how long ago this took place-because it would be a question of how long was he/she in the fade instead of how they entered the fade. My only issue with that scene is the fact that Cass clearly states that the Inquisitor is the only threat she sees, which means you are under suspicion-yet she lets you lead the Inquisition? Wut?

[azarhal]

I dunno how I'd respond to some psycho who just pulled a knife on me for no reason.

 

So you think the PC can't anger anyone by their actions and that nobody is supposed to be wary of things that walk out of the Fade after a big blast killed everyone, tore the Veil open and have a glowy hand?

[ames4u]

"Wasn't me."

But she caught me in the shower!

Now, like all of you, I saw the trailer for DA:I. And it looks freaking fantastic! But one thing really irked me and that was when Cassandra put up a sword to the Inquisitor. Granted he (or she for my fellow ladies) was the only survivor to a massacre of, supposedly, thousands of people. But why in the world would you threaten someone who "walked" out of the Fade. 
 
In my opinion, that's pretty detrimental to one's health.
 
So my question is how would your Inquisitor react in that situation? And what would they say as well?
 
My inquisitor would probably be a little irritated to being threatened after a traumatic event and say something along the lines of, "Get that sword out of my face, Seeker. Or you will not see the end of this day."
 
Your turn! 
 
EDIT: Thank you for those who pointed out the the "you're" problem. Auto correct is so fun right?

This is exactly my thought when I saw that part of the trailer. Then I've decided that casandra and I will definitely have that cat fight bout when the game comes out.

Now I haven't seen the movie, but didn't Cassandra stop hating mages because they're mages about 20 years ago? I think I read somewhere that she realized that throughout the movie.

[Exaltation]

Cassandra: You are the only threat i see!
Dwarf Inquisitor: Enchantment? ....

[ames4u]

Cassandra: You're the only threat I see.

 

Inq: *sigh* Why always me?

1. How did you do that black text background?
2. Because you are the protag and they need to drag you in somehow.

 

[Exaltation]

Cassandra: You are the only threat i see!
Inquisitor: *pulling diamond ring* Will you marry me?
Cassandra: AsDfgTdEgfvsFefSfsA !?!!?!!??!

[Fishy]

I love it rought too.

[Dean_the_Young]

Assuming Casandra is a love interest, I would laugh if there was a flirt/romance dialogue in which you could claim you fell for her at that moment and that some of your romantic daydreams are about her holding you at sword point.

 

Hey, if Anders can have Tranquil fantasies, sword play seems tame by comparison.

"Would you care to wait a bit longer to see if something else gains your notice? As for me, I should really be getting along; Demons to kill, allies to find. All of that kind of thing, you know."

 

I so love snarky....

"You are the only threat I see."

 

"I am also the only lead you have."

[Nashimura]

I'm actually a huge fan of "You made a choice... well, here's a quick scene of you dying now.  Reload"

 

I enjoyed it in the Game of Thrones RPG when you bump into Cersei and depending on how you interact with her, she can end the game.  Same with Morinth.

 

This also happens in The Witcher 2, imagine how "badass" i felt insulting someone with a group of 20 elfs pointing bow and arrows at me.... feeling all snug in my plot armor.  I found out quickly how wrong i was when i more resembled a porcupine than a "badass"

 

I felt it was a cool moment, using it to much in your game will become really frustrating really fast and make you feel like you lack much choice or control of the situation.

Omg, yes! I remember when I played Alistair and I just ended up dying. God, it was hillarious! I am a fan of such "sequence" as well!

Cass: 'You're the only threat I see!'

 

Dwarf Quizzy: 'I only recently trimmed own my beard, thanks. And, er, I just let one off.

 

Qun Quizzy: *points at horns* 'Mess with the bull and you get the horns. I'm going to ram these up your sh!tter!'

*faintly in the distance* 'That's my line!'

 

Elf Quizzy: *shrugs* 'Oh, I suppose someone else is going to close these rifts?'

 

Human Quizzy: *the Inquisitor's face falls off* '.....'

Cass's sword grows arms and legs and jumps out of her hand.

Cass: 0_0

Cass's sword: 'Okay, I'm getting out of here before this gets wierd.'

[Rixatrix]

Cass: "You're the only threat I see!"

Inquisitor: "I really shouldn't have worn this map."

[Roninbarista]

CASSANDRA: You're the only threat I see.

DALISH INQUISITOR: Sure, blame the elf. It's not like shems ever create any catastrophes in Thedas.

QUNARI: Have your eyes and emotions checked.

HUMAN: I'm not the threat you're looking for.

DWARF: You got some stones, lady. What're you doing later this evening?

[SamaraDraven]

I think I'd say something like, "Any excuse to wave that sharp, pointy stick around, eh Seeker?"

[Neon Rising Winter]

"Go ahead, you'll only have to reload. Killing me is a non standard game over."

"You humans are all racist!"

Get back in the box scum.
