I can't say I would call Cassanrda "beautiful", but to be fair, I'm not sure I'd call any DA characters beautiful (for either sex). I feel like the DA character aesthetic has always leaned towards, shall we say, distinctly imperfect. Always assumed it was deliberate, as a way to ground the series. Attractiveness and beauty are so subjective that conversations about hot characters are always weird and frought with... weirdness. I mean, I've heard people say that Sera looks like Gollum or a troll or like she got hit by a truck and I'm over here like ?????she's magNIFICENT?? Very beautiful? I could stare at her all day?? I'm just never sure what people mean when they say "beautiful", so I just go with "I like looking at them a whole lot because I think they are attractive." I mean we can talk about what is subjectively attractive, but the western world has pretty much decided on what conventional standards of beauty are |

Hmm. She has character, an interesting personality and a strong face, but beautiful? Not from here, though as they say its in the eye of the beholder. BTW, I did find the options somewhat unappealing, but I don't play these games for the romances. If one doesn't appeal, I don't play it and that's that. No need to get riled up about it. I can't say I would call Cassanrda "beautiful", but to be fair, I'm not sure I'd call any DA characters beautiful (for either sex). I feel like the DA character aesthetic has always leaned towards, shall we say, distinctly imperfect. Always assumed it was deliberate, as a way to ground the series. Neil Thompson said a little on how Cassandra's design in particular came about in this GDC video, at around 9:40. The whole talk's pretty interesting if you want to see how the sausage is made. |

<------ I actually think Cassandra was the best looking female companion we've ever had in any Bioware game - According to my experiences - 90% of the people who do not find her attractive are simply irritated by her unconventional short hair, because they are used to every woman having long flowing hair. (The same people are also used to have women make them sandwiches, which Cassandra does not do either  ) |

Ah Cassandra is a tough but also very classy woman, she would simply give you an angry stare that would hit you harder than Thor's hammer thrown from a passing speeding truck.  |
