I don't have proof obviously, but I have a very educated guess.  Why would the mechanics developers give a low starting Strength score to one of your three warriors?  Has that happened in any of the previous games?

 

Cassandra has an entire backstory as a warrior and a dragon hunter.  Her appearance is completely incongruous for the role.  Her face is not too "masculine", it's the face of an undernourished anorexic patient, and that's why her jaw apparently looks so prominent.

 

You apparently lack basic knowledge of the laws of physics.

But that does not mean her stat score will be the highest, again you are assuming.

 

Plus given evidence in previous games, two handed warriors generally have a higher starting strength score than shield warrior. We see this with Sten and Alistair, and again with Fenris and Avaline. So I suspect Cassandra will have a lower starting strength score than bull. But this is assuming on my part as well, but a better educated guess.

 

so, BYE FELICA...

What's wrong with you?  Are you denying there are other female characters with strong personalities who can be called strong in that sense?  Where are the strong-personality male warriors who look like they weight 100 lbs?

No I'm not denying it, I was being sarcastic. and as for the strong personality males we have a bunch of them in DA but as for looking a hundred pounds, nope because smaller men are usually rogues. But as I see it women tend to be on the smaller side compared to men anyway, so of course women warriors would be small given they're small in the first place, and not as big as Iron Bull. 

 

Are you saying women can't be warriors because they're small? Because Avaline is pretty small, but she is the best tank DA had so far.

 

so again, BYE FELICIA...

I know it's sad, women can only be considered strong if they have a strong physique

 

Eh, only this guy seems to think she's weak. Her fans certainly think she's strong of character and physique. Hell, I think she is too. I just wish "Strong" wasn't always the same thing as "Hard-ass".

I just think he doesn't like her. But hey no skin off my nose

Keep blowing the smoke.  I already said I thought Cassandra would be second to Bull.  When she should be dead last among the entire crew.

BYE FELICIA...

Compared to Cassandra in DA:I Aveline is practically a hulk.  You can clearly see muscular definition in her arms.  But you're right that even Aveline still doesn't look quite up to her role.

 

So what if women are on the smaller side.  All the more reason why if a woman is a warrior she needs to be exceptional.  If a woman wants to join an elite army unit, she needs to meet the same physical standards as men.  And the Seekers is the most elite military unit in all Thedas.

Firstly we haven't seen Cassandra arms without armor, and secondly how do you know Cassandra wasn't held to the same standard as the men in the seekers? We have no information about how to actually get into the seekers, or how Cassandra actually preformed along side her peers. Again you're assuming to know.

 

So, BYE FELICIA...

 

Edit: My point is, no matter if women are held to the same standard as men and succeed that standard they will still be smaller than their male counterparts. There will always be small warrior women, because women are small.

1)she does not have the enough amount of body mass..we now have frostbite and armor does not cut you and others body

 

2)Cassandras is the best Seeeker and all templar soldier in entire Orlais Chantry,after all what she did she was claimed as Hero of Orlais and putted to be the hand of Divine Beatrice and Justinia 5 herself..and she done all things what others can not

 

3)she as others like her was a orphan who was a victim of criminal mages or deamons from those like Meredith who hate them and was raised to be more zealot to Chantry and much better in fighting than Templars so she is became a Seeker like the others..the other way what we know is to be a elite templar who was better and more experience than Chantry Tempalrs and Seekers as Lambert was..and he was putted in comand after previous Lord Seeker was killed...Casandra was not putted simply because she is not a commander and to agressive and one-minded to lead armies...she is simply butcher and executer for her entire life...she can only kill or protect someone with killing others

 

the only real explanation how she able do all this is a dragon blood in her veins like Alister have...nothing more, because with her body noone can  do all what she did

 

i am not even want to talk about gameplay sh*t when warriors and rogues do a real magic stuffs with their bashing stronghold gates with shields

Okay what is your point? Mine was Cassandra is eligible to be a warrior, I don't see anything here being relevant to the argument or disproving it. Like I said, we don't know how her recruitment took place there's no information. All we know is the seekers recruited her, we don't know how or why. And she wasn't a orphan she was royalty, apart of a noble family from Nevarra but left. Also she wasn't a victim of blood mages her bother was. Furthermore she's from a family of dragon hunters, she was trained like everyone in her family to hunt dragons. So I don't see how her being able to kill dragons is a problem.

 

So, BYE FELICIA...

On the topic of small is weak.

 

It's perfectly possible to have very strong muscles even while being fairly small, especially for women. Big muscles come mostly from testosterone. Strong muscles come from training.

 

So yeah, I can believe Cassandra is physically strong even if she doesn't look it. She just has low body fat. She's covered in armor anyway and the face is not the best indicator of strength. Hopefully we'll get a better look at her physique during the romance scenes. 

 

 

Edit: I mean look at that skinny runt on the left.

[10K]

^ Ah... someone who's reasonable I love it. 

[Basement Cat]

You missed my point entirely. I was saying that it's possible for a woman to be strong without looking bulky like a body builder. The fact is women don't naturally 'bulk up' like guys do.

 

Here are some real life Olympic weight lifters. Spoilered for size.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

They're not huge! Sure, they could lift more and would probably need to get bigger for that, but for warrior duty? They'd be just fine.

The fact is that the big bulky physiques we see in body builder shows are the result of 'low weight, high rep' training while power lifters do the reverse: low rep, high weight'. In the case of female body builders they need to take supplements to achieve the bulk. They just don't have enough natural testosterone.

 

Cassandra doesn't look too far off from some of the above. Or some of the ladies you have posted. She shows less skin, that's all.

[Basement Cat]

Cassandra looks fit enough to me to be a warrior to me.

 

Them thighs!

 

If you're not happy about it then... that's too bad but I don't think they're going to change it. And of course she's going to look small next to Blackwall and Iron Bull. Especially the latter. 

[WildOrchid]

 Her face is not too "masculine", it's the face of an undernourished anorexic patient, and that's why her jaw apparently looks so prominent.

 

wat

 

So Antje Traue, Olivia Wilde and the rest of women who have prominent jaws are anorexic? The more you know.....

[dalethfc]

Yes people DO change. And, IF Dawn Of The Seeker is watched properly, you see Cass's View of Mages does soften a lot, due to the mage she is with And seeing what these mad Blood Mages are doing to Mages to.

The fact that a mage Helps her in battle and saves her, it completely changes her view of mages. I liked the Film very much. worth a view BEFORE DA:I is played.

 

Muscular does not mean Power. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, None of these are hulks, but are lean, Fast and Powerful.

There is also anna ranos, Cynthia Rothrock Michelle Yeoh, Gina Carano. All these are power houses and very fit size around 10/12/14(depends on your country size guide to) but they have very little body fat and are toned.

Muscles do not mean strength/power/speed a "Toned" body does.

Cassi is "Toned" and the state of a face does not reflect the body build in truth.

[WildOrchid]

Ah Cynthia Rothrock... Good memories.

[Melca36]

Ah Cynthia Rothrock... Good memories.

I doubt anybody under 28 knows who that is.

Now, you see...you're doing it wrong. You're approaching the topic with logic and well thought out arguments. You're supposed to spout off inane babble and call anyone who disagrees with you a troll.

 

That being said, I agree with you wholeheartedly. My gf is a bit of a health nut and it always surprises me how strong she is when she really doesn't look it.

 

Also, hasn't Bioware pretty expressly said that they will not do a dlc just to add a romance option to the game? Something like the Citadel dlc for ME3 maybe, but that was far from just a romance dlc.

If they think that is a dude, they need their eyes seriously checked.   If you want an actual sample size rather than pulling numbers out of your keister, try asking reddit or an outside source.   Post a link to the results, and let us see for ourselves.  Otherwise...

Vect the Troll, decided to go ahead and say something to you again, though its pointless cause you are not reading what others said to you.

 

Me, I have no complaints whatsoever, everything is FANTASTIC in DAI to me. I love everything that has been shown, I guess I am less picky as some others.

 

 

You want a non-human to romance for the males, a DLC in fact to cater this. In order to even make money from the costs of doing this and for the returns of actually doing this on Dev's side to be worthwhile. Requires that the DLC non-human romance for males will have to cater to both male and females. Otherwise its a loss of money and resources, anyways.....

 

 

This is a troll thread! As stated by Bioware, NO DLC companions coming.

[boissiere]

Anyway, I think, they could add another character for a DLC who will be romanceable and not human. I remember you could have Zaeed in a free DLC. He was not romanceable but I'm sure they could add that easily....The best fit for me would be a female dwarf! (I really enjoyed Sigrun in DAO-A).

[aTigerslunch]

Those that were done, were cut from the game before release then added back as a DLC. DAI doesn't have any cuts from what I seen.

 

 

EDIT: I seen them talk about those, cant link where it was said by Devs.

[Uccio]

But that does not mean her stat score will be the highest, again you are assuming.
