So far I've played through Cassandra's, Iron Bull, Solas, Sera, Josephine and Cullen.  Obviously Solas's is kind of strange and My Iron Bull was still part of the Qun so that ruined it but the other three were all much more interactive than her's.  Obviously marriage is out of the question 1 she would require a romantic proposal and 2 she may be the Divine.  But seriously I didn't feel the warmth of emotion that was in the other romances.  

 

The reason this bothers me is because she is my absolute favorite.  I have a hard time making a party without her. Miranda does such a wonderful job and previously her lines were very well done.  Sorry if this is petty but having played it I just feel cheated.

Obviously I don't know for sure, but I suspect the two characters that can get married (Sera & Cullen) are probably being written out of the DA story line.  As everyone else still might see further action, I suspect BW didn't want to be burdened with the issues they had with HoF and Hawke romances. If they use Cass again having to take in the possibility of her being tied to the Inquisitor would require more work than they want to deal with

 

But like I said, this is just my guess.

Because Bioware was taken by the feminists.
Only the females romances can marry.

Maybe Cassandra hasn't a "Happy ever after" as Cullen, but she does what she wants, she isn't a princess, she is a warrior.

Nah, I was pretty satisfied. There was a half-promise of marriage and the epilogue showed Cassandra and Inky living decently content between staying together and staying with their duties, just as I expected it would be like. I never imagined Cassandra's romance would end in settling down for good.

Are you serious? She had probably the most romance content out of all in trespasser, and it was 100% awesome. They handled her more than satisfyingly in Trespasser.

 

As far as marriage is concerned, you have to understand the time period. People don't marry out of love, it's only used for alliances and inheritance. (Source: Vivienne).

 

 

Also, I wanted to point out. Some people humorously and erroneously believe that the cinematic scene is the only romance related content in Trespasser. It isn't. She has PLENTY of romance specific banter and dialogue throughout the scene, and also new dialogue upon each return from the Crossroads. People either miss this entirely, or for some odd reason don't count it.

 

Didn't feel the warmth or emotion? Throughout the entire thing she was borderline crying because she was worried about you thinking you were going to die.

No, I was not disappointed.

 

It fit pretty well, in my opinion. Trevelyan disbanded the Inquisition to help Cassandra build up the Seekers. It should be fun getting away from unnecessary distractions at that reclusive Seeker HQ. My Inquisitor won't be able to officially join the Seekers, though, with the joining ritual not being suited for mages.

Not true. Malcolm and Leandra Hawke married solely for love. Aveline and Donnic do the same. Also there is that couple in DAI you can help out get married for love. In Trespasser a marriage between two women occurs when there is no alliance to be made and obviously no inheritance. 

 

Historically, love was the main reason most commoners married. It was only the nobles that had reasons like alliances and inheritance. Even then there were plenty of exceptions.

I think that is more specific to Orlesian nobility.

 

City Elves marry to better manage families and get new blood into alienages. There are also peasants that refer to husbands or wives. I think the daughter of Howe married some merchant or something.

 

Not sure how the Chantry views it, but there is no need for it to be a legal thing unless inheritance is involved.

Okay  I must of rushed it.  I did Solas first , then my Qunari Bull so two less than satisfying romances though my Elven Inquisitor didn't give up on Solas.  Then my Qunari romancing Sera was next so I had a few playthroughs before her.  It is not long I'll play it again and see if I feel the same way.

I was pretty satisfied with how their romance ended.  We got them holding hands in the end and the epilogue hinted they were still doing their jobs but found time to come back together time and again.  The only thing that sort of bugged me out of the whole thing was the fact she seemed to demand a proper romance in order to romance your inky in the first place.  I think it's somewhat out of character for her to live a life with the Inky outside of marriage.  I mean that is rather contrary to the typical romance that she so seemingly demanded initially IMO.  But other than that....I was cool with how it ended up.

Historically? I think you need to be more specific, many cultures had arranged marriages (commoners and nobility) or viewed marriage as a source of social stability, not searching for a "one true love." Respect is good and love is ideal, but love has never been a requirement for marriage (initially, anyway, hopefully a married couple will love each other).

After looking at Dorian's romance, getting two kisses and going to Bull's romance and seeing that he gets nothing but a line about toys, I'm mostly disappointed about that.

My Queen Cousland would both disagree and agree with this. She romanced Alistair before marrying him.

lol the not getting married for love... It's an Orleisian thing. well mainly. I did like Cass's romance though. Not particularly a fan of it if she's divine though.

i loved the romance between my Inquisitor an Cassandra, even the Trespasser ending. To repeat her words,

"What comes next won't be easy for us. But you don't have to fight for me. Im not going anywhere, even if the maker himself tried to stop me. believe that."

For someone as religious as Cassandra to say that shows how deeply she thinks of her lover. Shows that she doesn't need a marriage proposal to prove her love to the inquisitor. I think Bioware hit the nail on the head perfectly with her.

I'd say its a good thing considering how queen Cousland had been handled.

That, not to mention, she is someone who is not going to totally abandon her duties that she feels she must perform. She cares about the greater good almost as much as she cares about you. She is not the type of person to settle down and retire. She is Stubborn, Difficult, and Blunt, in her own words. She does not have Grace or Delicacy, which made her obsession with classical/cheesy romance so adorable. Her not getting married felt entirely In Character for her given how her priorities line up. I was totally and absolutely satisfied with her, and in fact found her to be the best romance I've ever had in a game so far. I absolutely adore Cassandra in every way possible, she was like a dream come true romance option for me after being denied Aveline.

Can somebody be so kind and tell me the differences between the Divine and non-Divine romance of Cassandra in Trespasser? Is she keeping the relationships as a Divine or is she breaking it up to maintain the proper celibacy?

Oh no, she keeps it going, she just manages to sort-of hide it a tiny bit better when in a public setting, like Meetings. She has no problems at all with maintaing her relationship with you, the main difference is she says Marriage is something that can never happen, as opposed to "maybe someday".
