Cassandra.  Because she actually puts out. 

 

>_>

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

No she doesn't.

Keep telling yourself that.

Keep telling yourself that.

We shall.

If dudes look like that where you're from, I'm moving there and go fabulously, flamingly gay in 2 minutes flat.

I like Cassandra, she's all tough but she gets a bit embarrassed because of certain things she likes because she thinks they're thought of as stupid (to which I can relate haha)

Joshephine I liked to some extend I suppose, but didn't find her that intriguing. 

[teh DRUMPf!!]

 Well I am not finished with the game yet but suspect I am very close, and further pursuit of my chosen romance is among the few things left on my to-do list before completion...

 

Anyway, I am locked-in with Cassandra at the moment and have no regrets. Up to now, I've liked her the most out of all my options. Josephine is nice enough, but a bit boring. It's not even her work or the politics that bore me, just her verryyy diplomatic and mild-mannered demeanor. And, I can swing the other way, so Dorian was also viable to me, but his late entry hurts him, and then I have just not been very taken by him since he joined up (for reasons I will discuss more somewhere else). 'Bull was not recruited, "Inquisition policy."

 

As for Cassandra ... well, first, she is a babe. Not like "stunning," but damn fine. Nice body, too. Clearly all the warrior training molded her great figure. As a person, I like her even better. Love her toughness, her tempered idealism, her belief in a higher-power, and the hidden soft-side beneath it all. No approval issues, either; only Viv and Varric's has been easier to come by. I am still in the early phase of it but this romance has potential.

I really don't think it's anything like that to be honest, seems like you're forcing real world religious issues into the game when there really is none.  Anyway she really is THAT religious though, she relates EVERYTHING back to the chantry and the maker, she has devoted her life to it, as she stated a couple times in the game.  I think that is what most people mean is all, not that she's forceful about it or anything, but in the past couple games (DA:O in particular) you usually played as a character who's custom it was to not believe in the maker (dalish, dwarf, and humans and city elves had the options not too) and the chantry has always been kind of looked down upon in the writing of the other games (rarely dealt with it in DA:O and when you did it was usually to laugh at it, and in DA:2 it was an obstacle of corruption and even annoyance in terms of Sebastian).  So when this one character will not stop talking about it like it's fact, whether she's forcing it on you or not, it might get annoying to some people because they've spent so long believing it was a farce and entirely laughable.

 

I personally do not mind it in Cassandra, even though the whole "chosen of andraste" thing was kind of annoying, but it's easy to understand why it could get too annoying to romance her.

I hope you never romanced Leliana in DAO then, because she's far, FAR worse about it than Cassandra. She relates everything back to Justinia, not the Chantry itself or the Maker, because she idolized Justinia (not to mention she was her Right Hand, so she spent much of her time around Justinia when she wasn't out shield-bashing people) and was fond of her ideals and the way she led the Chantry. Whenever she references the Maker, 90% of the time it's "by the Maker!" or "Maker's will", which are nothing more than the Thedas versions of "oh my God" and "God willing", not a self-righteous declaration of faith or zeal. If you pay attention, she is not fond of the way the Chantry works, and desires to see reforms (which is the entire basis around her becoming Divine, if that's what happens in your game).

 

It's never a "custom" in the prior games for the PC to not believe in the Maker. You're always given the choice for your PC to believe or not, and it's no different in Inquisition (Inquisition is actually better in this regard because it lets you also be more agnostic, rather than being either devout or atheist)

[o Ventus]

Keep telling yourself that.

Okay. I can't fathom how many men you've seen who look as good as she does, but okay.

I guess I'm just spoiled by Morrigan. She was so openly "atheistic" in Origins, and seems to be the only character in the series that has ever expressed a lack of belief in any type of deity in the Dragon Age world.

I disagree with that part . Those cheekbones and DAT jawline are the stuff of dreams.

[Laterali]

I went into this game expecting to really dislike Cassandra. I don't really like the overly religious characters, but she grew on me quickly. By the time I got to the scene with the Sword and Shields book, I was completely smitten. I actually think she's one of the most well thought out characters in the game besides Solas. She has several sides to her personality that many of the other characters lack, at least in the subtlety they did with Cassandra. 

 

I probably will have a hard time not romancing her in every playthrough.

[DarkSpiral]

I find tough chicks with soft hearts very alluring.  Nothing wrong with Josephine at all, I'll give that romance a try eventually, but Cassandra speaks to my own preferences.

And yet in Dragon Age World terms, she IS a god. ~,~

[CronoDragoon]

I'm trying to avoid big spoilers, so I don't want a detailed answer here, but does Cassandra ever reach a point where she questions her devotion to the Chantry? I suspect that her leaving the religion is too unrealistic, but can you at least plant significant doubt in her mind?

 

There are some doubts but the bulk of her character is devoted to examining the current problems with the Chantry and Seekers instead of spirituality, if that makes sense.

[Kajuana]

I have to admit, I am not really attracted to her looks. But her inner beauty is admirable.

She admits to her own faults even though she is strong willed. That's some serious ZEN at work.

[Mushashi7]

Josephine is a good romance.

She is a bit shy and modest but reacts nicely. Her behavior also resembles how a noble reacts when you try to pass all the traditions and codes.

As for the private moments I think they are ok. They are sweet. Josephine seems happy about i, which makes you happy, right?

I just wish there were a bit more to it. Like moving in with your character. But according to the story line, culture and time it is probably not fitting? Or is it?

When your romance becmes official after the conversation with Leliana and Josephine I don't see why there shouldn't be a more visible intimate atmosphere. After all you are the Inquisitor, and everyone admires you, and would hardly question your relationship?

There is one thing I could wish for: An official marriage scene at some point. It would be absolutely beautiful. Perhaps some time after the relationship has been going on? It doesn't have to be "the reward at the end of the game".

[Eternal Dust]

Cassandra by a mile. I wish my FemQuisitor could romance her. Josephine is so boring.

[TimXP]

I like both characters, but I'm going with Cass for my initial playthrough only because I'd rather have my LI in my adventuring party than have her back at my headquarters answering my mail.

[CosmicGnosis]

What does it mean for Josephine to be "boring"? She's too conventional? There aren't enough scenes with her? Her story isn't interesting?

Parts of her story made little to no sense and there were little alternatives.

 

You cannot avoid the duel to progress the romance arc.

 

The duel itself makes little sense. How come Inquisitors who most probably never have had any access to train to duel with Rapiers such as the Dalish Mage Inquisitor can hold himself against a seasoned duelist nobleman is beyond me. 

 

Then there is no sexual intercourse taking place.

 

It is all too Disney Princess-ish...Might appeal to a young naive kid but most of us outgrew Disney Princess tales or never cared much for them in the first place...

did you watch the same duel I did? just before josephine he is about to stab you good. he barely tried.

 

and I would say that not being teenager I have long out grown the whiny teen drama trash, come to thing of it, it bored the hell out of me when I was a teenager. wasn't a very popular guy as you can guess.

 

different folks, I guess.

[pablosplinter]

I spoke to Josephene earlier and just managed to stay awake long enough to get her personal quest. Just a nothing character. Completely uninteresting.

[Abaddon_86]

None of them. But had to settle for Josephine eventually and obviously I chose wrong as the romance was a complete stereotypical joke. Ah well, don't mind me. Don't want to start another one of "those" arguments, if it didn't happen already (not gonna bother to read the whole thread).

It didn't look like the inquisitor was going to be stabbed to me. And if you have the right conversation perks, you can actually cut his shoulder by making him lose focus when you bring up his families past activities. So if anything, Josephine saved that guy.

Yep....How does a Dalish Mage / Qunari / Carta Dwarf Inquisitor becomes proficient enough to wound a nobleman duelist is beyond me...
