Reality VS Fantasy

 

On the left we have a realistic portrayal of Cassandra, technically a woman who in my opinion is not the least bit attractive, although she has an incredible personality. Cass appears slightly more masculine than most men would care for. Keep in mind that she is a romance option for straight males, but she is actually quite popular amongst women and gay men (check google).  The flat chested armor is REALISTIC to deflect blows, I can respect that. The nature of the armor would add to immersion. Aveline's armor was the same way which preserved immersion and realism, but she was also masculine in appearance and not a romance option, however Cassy can be romanced.

 

On the right we have a highly sexualized portrayal of a fantasy hunter. Her body is nearly flawless and almost non-human.  She is highly attractive and feminine in appearance. Most men without an agenda would find the women on the right far more attractive than Cassandra.  Her armor isn't about utility, it's about art and sex appeal. It shows how beautiful she is.  The picture on the right completely captures my imagination, it feels fantasy.  The picture on the left is someone I could see at the super market.

Here is another fine example of a highly, beautiful fantastical character that captures the imagination. (thx to lord raijin)

I personally prefer fantasy over realism.  Dragon Age I & II were both fantastical in their art direction.

I feel like after Dragon Age I & II, Inquisition was a complete and sudden change that caught me off guard.  It was not what I was expecting and I am upset and disappointed.

I'll take Cassandra over any straight male romance offered in all of the Bioware's games. Especially the chick you're comparing her with.

I think the chick he compared her with is a modded Aela too which makes it even more funny and pathetic

Well, he does want his "fantasy" chick.  I wonder if the op is flawless…?

Same here. I'd rather see women going into combat with practical armor, not a bra and pantyhose. Realism was never a problem with Inquisition.

The OP says that "most men" would find the modded Aela more attractive.

 

I can't think of any man who thinks that glam metal 80's hair is attractive on any woman.

I find the vanilla Aela a lot more attractive than that modded abomination

You can tell the OP never actually dated any woman in his life. He still thinks appearance is what makes a man want to be with a woman.

 

Sexy women are not the best women out there, OP...give Cass a chance. You might find out she is not masculine one bit.

I would like to point out for the benefit of a certain poster before posting what I am going to post that it is not spam.  It is a relevant and exhaustive response since a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Now that that is out of the way, my stock exhaustive and relevant response to Cassandra criticisms:

Deal.With.It.

 

Bioware, please continue doing your wonderful job of merging realism with fantasy.  Roly greatly approves.

That was suppose to be Aela? Didn't even recognize her, probably because it looks nothing like her.

 

 

OP you have made yourself very clear you do not like the look of Cassandra in DAI, though I'm not sure what you think to accomplish spamming the feedback section over and over like this. Really your best bet is to wait for a mod or make one yourself i you are playing on PC or if it bothers you that much maybe play another game if Cassandra is ruining your experience that much.

And people wonder why many posters instant reactions to threads like this is snark and contempt.  We aren't kidding that some folks sound like a broken record.  

 

I'd put up Skid Row, but I wanted to get some variety.

Trust me, 14 year olds don't behave like this.

Hopefully some of the newcomers understand why some of us see threads like this, and break out the booze, coffee, popcorn, glam metal songs and gifs.  No one objects to someone having a preference, or requesting a mod.  However, when the redundant threads on the topic start increasing by the same poster, the more likely it is that other posters are going to flame it.  At least he got straight to the point this time.

 

It's also Friday night, and he started a thread like this.  Weekends tend to get a bit nutty around here, and I've seen some of the most creative derails on the BSN happen during those days.   What's even funnier to me is that he's got a thread that's pretty much on this same topic still open, that he hasn't responded to for days. 

 

I think the chick he compared her with is a modded Aela too which makes it even more funny and pathetic 

This keeps getting better and better.  I might need to brew a fresh pot of coffee for this.  Anyone want some?

Same, I couldn't tell who that was supposed to be.

Did that feeling originate in your pants?

I see you've grown tired of ruining science and math and have now moved onto art. I eagerly await your inevitable "Cassandra is ugly because history/english/gym" threads.

I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I ran into Cassandra at the supermarket.
It could be the most terrifying ordeal of my life, or the most adorable meet-cute ever.  :wub:
