I was one of the people who thought Cass was Bisexual, and I wanted to romance her with my female warrior inquisitor, but the news came out and turned out she was straight. I'll be making a male inquisitor for her.

 

I really don't have a problem with it, it just bothers me when men complain about her looks and call her "Butch Aunt". As a woman myself, I'm content with the options even though only two seem to really be worth making inquisitor's for (this is subject to change when I actually get the game, of course) is Solas and Josephine. They are new and unknown characters that seem to have interesting stories to tell. Especially Solas who is race-gated and straight for Story reasons.

I don't really have an issue with them not liking the way she looks, but the constant whining and insulting of her appearance is quite annoying.

I honestly don't think there's much to complain about. Like, yeah, there's always a group of people with a disadvantage who, of course, are allowed to express their opinion. However, that specific group is usually either female, queer and/or a POC. Because these people are by far less represented and respected in the gaming industry (...and in general). 

Men still have 2 female romance options, like it was in the previous games. If it was always the case that female gamers have more options, I would agree I guess, but the way it is now, I think you should be able to survive ONE game in which females have more choices than you do.

Is this directed at the op ? You didn't bother to read his post I take it ?

Some people just like to whine and insult, this is the BSN after all.

Yeah, nothing wrong with having different tastes when it comes to appearance. But the "ew I don't want this butch girl!" mentality is entitled and childish. 

[Ceoldoren]

I wouldn't have a problem with this if the women would be attractive like Morrigan and Leliana

Back in DA:Origins those two were so awesome I had a very hard time deciding

 

Now sadly its the opposite

Cassandra looks horrible especially compared to DA:2 I still don't understand why they felt that they had to go with that appereance

I mean Leliana looks better than ever so why did Cass got screwed over? especially since she is a romance option

And Josephine looks ok I guess but she is only an advisor

See, this is annoying. You are constantly reiterating that you think Cass looks horrible, you bring it up in threads where it's not relevant. You don't like the way she looks, we get it. You don't need to constantly tell everyone, it comes off as very childish and I think everyone would appreciate it if you stopped.

 

You have Josephine, who you said looks fine, and whom has just as much content romance wise as everyone else. You have an option you like, so please stop complaining.

I'm of the opinion that what really matters is having an option you like. I'm over the moon about Blackwall but likely to roll a man for Cass or Dorian or roll a lesbian Inquisitor for Josephine before I get around to the other straight men, if I do. So how do we count my options?

[Ceoldoren]

how isn't this relevant? Its an opinion deal with it and I only bring it up in romance threads this is a forum after all right?

I'm not overreacting I will still buy and enjoy the game but its just that in my opinion they screwed up Cassandra's appearance

I've said my piece, and that's all I'm going to say.

It wasn't, it was directed to the people who actually complain because I've seen quite a lot of them on the internet.

I agree on that.

 

Personally I don't find Cassandra looking that much different then she did in DA2, she actually look just fine to me.

Just curious what did you think of Aveline?

[Ceoldoren]

I agree on that.

Yeah, I don't see a huge difference, slightly broadened jaw and the scar is pretty much it. I think her jaw looks better with the broader look. Has a much more unique look to her old appearance.

Oh trust me, you don't have to tell me that they're there. Just didn't want you to jump on op's case.

In my opinion they didn't, I think she looks great. I would feel rather disappointed if her appearance was changed now, so I feel we're at an impasse.

I don’t typically enjoy suggesting radical things, but maybe... respect... the artist’s... vision? Yeah?

You know its kinda unfair to judge Cassandra until you actually are playing DAI and the fact is we "straight males" have only 2 options maybe you should give her a chance actually experiencing her romance arc might change you mind about her.You never know she might grow on you.

I also think they toned down the make up a bit too, although that could just because they changed the game engine.

[CuriousArtemis]

Yes. I'm going to have a fun time climbing the wall, ridding the bull, playing hide and seeker, getting cozzy with Josie, toughing the mustache, dreaming of a dreamer, playing the wildcard, and taming the templar.

You're lucky! It's good you can have an enjoyable experience no matter what gender you play. It would be nice if you could recognize that not everyone is as lucky as you are though.

Yeah, if she's wearing much in the way of makeup it's hard to tell. I'm glad they toned down the eye shadow at least. The blush wasn't too bad.

I am not disagreeing with you that Aveline is canonically straight. I played the game. I know she is definitely straight and all the other masculine women that may or may not appear will also probably be straight. Hypothetical situation where she is a 1) romance option and thus has a different intro 2) where we have to change Most of the characters canon sexualities anyway and 3) the point was not who would be what but that there would be different costs and expense and it is not about realism so much as representation and budget.

 

Everyone gets at least 2 options. The difference is not realism vs not real but actually representation vs Budget. This immediately was skipped over to discuss my non canon hypothetical as being non canon which is frustrating.

Fair enough and apologies, had taken your comment out of context - my bad. 

I can certainly see your point and agree; its very interesting actually, not one I had considered before certainly. I just somethimes wonder how developers can really do "the right thing" in this area as its so laden with perception minefields.

Slightly off Topic:

I was wondering would you guys recomend Dawn of the Seeker I love Dragon Age and I have been thinking about buying it.

I didn't care much for it personally, decent action scenes but it's pretty generic otherwise.

[CuriousArtemis]

To be fair, there was quite a bit of complaining about Cass and Cullen as well.

My biggest complaints are that:

1. Both "add on" romances are straight. I mean really?

2. Sexuality tropes continue. Jovial bed-hopper = bisexual; noble knights = straight; flamboyant mustache guy = gay

3. The way romances were slowly revealed was just cruel

Buying... idk, I had fun with it the once.

It's pretty budget, but if you like Cassandra and anime, you'll most probably enjoy it quite a bit.
