I imagine there is going to be a decent amount of tension between the PC and Cassandra. I have a feeling that she would rather just lead the organization herself. She doesn't appoint you as Inquisitor because she thinks that you are the better person for the job. She does so because you are the only person capable of closing the fade tears.
If she steps out of line, I shall feed her to my Sarlacc.
I want it to be Cole, so we could have a Home Alone movie Dragon Age style.
That's actually the seeker symbol.
Yeah, it seems the Inquisition isn't founded until a little before the breach and then we see the soldiers approach the Inquisitor.
This.
Cassandra seems to be the driving force behind everyone coming together. Its her mentor/boss who gets blown up. She's the well known public figure who already has ties to the Inquisition. She doesn't have Alistair's submissive streak.
I have no idea why the PC would lead. Having a glowy hand is not a sign you should be placed in a position of power.
Yeah but it's a good thing for the leader of the Inquisition to have. We will know soon enough why the Inquisitor is the leader of the Inquisition.
On a serious note, it's possible Cassandra thinks you were blessed by the Maker or something.
So maybe she's willing to let the Inquisitor prove her/himself in the name of her faith.
Possible she starts having doubt in her faith when she find out the Inquisitor is a big looser.(or well if you play somebody who is heartless)

Not if you're nice to her and agree with her. And why feed such a good woman to a monster? Oh right...Morrigan.

Eh ... good is subjective.
If Cassandra's idea of "good" is advancing the interests of the Divine, Templars, and Chantry, she can forget about it. Not gonna be her puppet.

You say those three as if they are all the same thing. All of these elements disagree amongst each other now. The whole chantry is torn apart. Not just mages.

I should have probably said the Divine, Templars, or Chantry. I find all three objectionable.

Is that a euphemism for one of your body parts?
You've got an interesting mind there Caliban.
I will never think of that Star Wars creature the same again.
I don't think the Inquisition seems to get along that well without you, honestly. Cassandra was never in charge. She and Leliana answered to the Divine as equals. If anything, it seems like Justinia favored Leliana, since she brought Leliana in and Cassandra was a hold over that we never much see connected with Justinia in other materials. The recent interview implies they bicker a lot behind closed doors, and also bicker with Cullen, who they've brought in as another lead. I think it sounds like they basically need to default to someone and you're the only one that can fix things, so...

Actually I think this will be the case as well. Cass knows she cant lead it on her own or without resistance from Leliana or Cullen. So the Inquisitor becomes the one holding the bickering team of advisers and companions together.
As much as I don't like Alistair, I was kinda hoping to be more like him this time around.
Me too. I didn't like the green fade hand thingy at first, but I also think it's a good opportunity to step out of my usual authoritative RP perspective. I noticed that my BW protagonists have all been that way, with varying temperaments. So I'm looking forward to trying the whole reluctant/poor leader thing out for once since the game gives you a reason to be in a position of importance no matter what. I do like Alistair, though >_>
OT, if anyone were the second-in-command, I think it'd definitely be Cassandra. I'm really hoping that she'll give direction to a PC who isn't innately adept at leading a faction.

I think each character will be in the position the Inquisitor places them in.
I personally think Cassandra is the most logical and smart choice for second in command. She has leadership qualities and experience. She is also able to command respect of the troops.
As much as I like Sera, I think she would be a horrible choice for second in command.
It makes sense somewhat.
Cassandra Pentaghast would probably be something like Miranda Lawson. The XO of the Inquisition if you will.
However, I hope that as the Inquisitor, I have a choice in picking the XO I want. Some might not want Cassandra as an XO after all.
Perhaps down the line, the Inquisitor can have a choice in picking / changing their second in command. So far, Blackwall looks to be as competent as Cassandra is so if there is an option to have him as our XO, it would be nice.
This is a great topic I figure Cassandra will be the Inquisitors 2nd in Command and I intend to argue with her over everything and I will laugh my A** off because my Inquisitor is going to be Arrogant,Stubborn & a total A** he doesnt care about alot of things and the things he does well they are not gonna make him popular.
The things my Inquisitor doesnt care about
1.The Chantry
2.Mages/Templars
3.The War of Succession of Orlais
4.The Elven Uprising
The things my Inquisitor cares about
1.The Attention
2.Power
3.Wealth
4.Drinking and being a sarcastic pain in the A** with his crew Varric, Iron Bull & Sera
5.Being a shameless Flirt
6.His Red Halla Mount
By the way and heres hoping we get another Mabari B-Ware make it so. 
I'm thinking Iron Bull so we can begin preparations to bring the enlightenment of the Qun to Thedas.
This. So much this.
But I think it'll be as the Title suggests.
To be honest, the more I learn, the more I don't understand why Cassandra isn't the leader of the inquisition. We can close the veil with our hands, yes, but that doesn't make the inquisitor automatically the leader. We could be simply an asset.
Cassandra apparently recruited the advisors, started to build the inquisition before we come, so I hope there are good and valid reasons for us to lead, and not just " you are the chosen one. "

Our Inquisitors will get along nicely!
To answer the question,yes and I also think she's the one companion that will stay with the Inquisition until the end,no matter how "douchey" you Inquisitor is.
Will Cassandra be the Inquisitor's second-in-command?
Not if I can help it.
I wonder if the Inquisitor is going to be Cassandra second in command!
I mean the women only need your magical hand , and The Inquisitor to pretend (s)he's the new Andraste...
More seriously I wonder how interactions are going to work...
Do we make decisions with The Inquisition (advisor +companion) voting about something ?And then the Inquisition can agree or disagree?
Do we have to fight Cassandra and co if they do not agree..I mean those people from the Chantry have power over my future army , my future spy network , etc...
How many time Cassandra will threaten my Inquisitor with her sword ?
I have a feeling she's the companion we can't get rid of , and also the advisors are going to stick to the Inquisition no matter what.
I tend to be diplomat but I also fail sometimes with the whole getting along with companions.
I know they are going to be useful , but I'm not feeling like I'm going to play a powerful leader.
I will build a special tunnel in Skyhold , for emercy escape.Just in case the Inquisition rebels against the Inquisitor.
And Cassandra tries to chop my pc's hand or something.
There was a supposed leak that said that the advisors provide alternative solutions to major quests and I assume that the companions simply weigh in on that throughout the game. People more inclined to think diplomacy is the best solution will side with Scribbles, people like Iron Bull may likely side with a more militaristic approach. Hell these decisions might just be like in Awakening where the "advisors" offer up what they think will benefit their section of the organization as well as the Inquisition as whole and give us the opportunity to advance that branch via prioritizing quest lines.
Anyway I think Cassandra will act the same way Alistair, the Hawke Sibling and Varric acted. Not your official second in command, but the person who is with you longest and provides not only the most support, but exposition and personal reasoning as to why you would want to do something as Inquisitor instead of developing your legion of Nug pulled chariots.
