Cuz they are great!

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

You mean all one of them.

[Taleroth]

I mean, have you really beaten the game if your character doesn't sleep with at least one supermodel?

I think not.





...

[JasonPogo]

I hate to brake it to you but eve if Josaphine also likes the ladies when she romances a dude it is a heterosexual romance.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

I was referring to Josephine.

[Chari]

Technically Josephine's romance isn't heterosexual since she isn't one

But yeah

They are great

Currently my Adaar is trying to sweep lady Cassandra off her feet and her tsuntsun makes his heart go dokidoki

[MightyZan]

I was referring to Josephine.

Cassandra is awesome and adorable and heterosexual, whether you want to count her or not.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

She is awesome but far from adorable. She also looks like a guy.

[JasonPogo]

Ummm again it is irrelevant if Josephine is heterosexual herself. When she is with a man it is a heterosexual relationship even if one or both participants happen to be bisexual.

[MightyZan]

She is awesome but far from adorable. She also looks like a guy.

Your opinion of her looks doesn't change the fact that she is a romance option for male characters.  And if you can watch her scene with Varric's book and not find it adorable than you have a harder heart then I do.

[Taleroth]

You just keep setting it up, don't you?

So very temping.

[Rawgrim]

Is that something you are jealous of?

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

Yep I'm totally jealous she looks like a guy.

[Efrim]

Cassandra does not look like a guy. If anything they made her look too feminine. I have no idea when she finds the time to keep putting on makeup.

I came into the game hating her from DA2, have gradually come to respect her, now I'm wishing I was playing a dude so I could have romanced her.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

They are not great.

 

Here's why:- 

 

1) Cassandra is only romanceable by a very specific type of Inquisitor. If you play as an Inquisitor who does not believe in gods which includes the Maker, who thinks that this whole Herald thing is superstitious bullshite, not very big on the Chantry, form an alliance with the mages, not very supportive of the notion of rebuilding the Seekers, is a Necromancer...Yeah, good luck with romancing her...

 

To be clear, my Inquisitor did not want to disband the Seeker and he plans to become a Rift Mage but the fact that she is so religious it is an almost instant turn off for an atheist like me...Religious girls and atheist guys never get along well....Both in real life and in games...I have been with around enough religious girls to know this to be a fact...

 

That is my biggest issue with romancing Cassandra. At the very least in previous DA games, you had the option of romancing a female that is not into Chantry or religion. In DAO, it was Morrigan. In DA2, it was Isabela and to an extent Merrill as well since she believes in the Creators...In this game, both the love interests are pro-Chantry and Andrastians...talk about lack of variety..

 

2) Josephine does not qualify for a straight male romance. Straight male friendzone, maybe, but not romance. Who thought that it was a good idea to put a Disney Princess Asexual Romance in this game ? I cannot even recall the last time I was interested in Disney Princesses...when I was 10 years old maybe ? But definitely not now, not in my 20s and certainly not in my 30s. 

 

Additionally, the romance was very anti-climactic. The end result was, meh. After all you go through to win her affections, she gives you a hug and a few pecks on your face ? There is a severe lack of commensurate compensation...

 

Just imagine this...The Inquisitor has to flirt with her throughout the whole game...With her being blur about it which I find odd, I mean you call yourself a political expert and you cannot tell if someone is flirting with you ? Odd...Then you might have to get into a duel, you have choice to not to...Which might put you in an extremely humiliating position because she might publicly reject you...After all that...you get a hug and a few pecks....

 

I don't know of any man who comprehends the notion of give-and-take...would be willing to jump through so much hoops and shite tests...only to get so little...Unless of course if you are a naive Prince Charming from a Disney fairy tale but this is DAI, not Disney. 

 

For crying out loud, Cullen, the former Templar, the super nice and cute guy, the one who Varric says needs to have a hobby and relax...can get naked and have sex...But not an Antivan diplomat ? Nothing against Cullen in DAI, he is very well written and very well fleshed out as a character but you have to admit, if he can have sex, the notion that Josephine, a theoretically far more liberal person, could not...It just boggles the mind...

 

*Disgusted noise*

 

The fact is, straight male romance options were far more diverse and satisfying to romance in previous 2 games than in this one. 

[AresKeith]

I know right OP

 

Cass and Josie 

[Lukas Trevelyan]

She is awesome but far from adorable. She also looks like a guy.

 

She does not look like a guy. I find her to be extremely beautiful, granted I hated the way she looked in Dragon Age 2. 

[Taleroth]

I hated the way she looked in Dragon Age 2. 

 

I really try to stay away from these talks outside of snark for various reasons. This is going to be my only serious contribution.

 

You are bleeding mad. DA2 Cassandra was gorgeous.

[nici2412]

The romances for my straight male inquisitor are awful. Cassandra is interesting (that's why i take always take her with me on missions) but I just find her extremly unattractive and can't stand her masculine look.

Josephine looks gorgeous and I love her (german) voice, but her whole romance felt, like I was watching a disney cartoon movie. I thought I was playing a "dark and mature" (at least Bioware described the dragon age franchise this way some time ago) and not a PG- 13 kingdom of Amalur ripoff. Whoever wrote the Josephine romance, did a bad job imo.

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

I wouldn't agree she looked gorgeous but at least she looked like a woman.

Truth.

Wait so because a romance doesn't include sex it's not considered a romance? Because it's optimistic, drama-free, disney-esque it's not considered a romance? Is it so immature to gently court a noble woman? Cause last I checked that's the way romance worked for quite some time. I am so sick of this mentality.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but this game's romances are just as diverse as they were in previous games and each romance has been different in one way or the other.

Should add my personal opinion true, I found that the engine just didn't give her as much justice as Frostbite did.

Sex is not required for love... if all men think like you do... well, then, I better go full-asexual or just switch to ladies

[Jaison1986]

Think about it, Cassandra does look like an guy, because, just look at all these fangirls out there wishing she wasn't straight and that she was an option for them. She kind of reminds me of those anime female characters that aren't considered feminine, but are extremely popular among the ladies because they look cool and handsome.

The courting part was fine, it gets Disney-esque when

Spoiler

the Dual starts

and everything afterwards I facepalmed so hard I banged my head off a wall. What happened to the mature romances.

Required no, but it doesn't last long without it, I should know.
