Oh Cassandra, if you think you are squeeing like a fangirl over Swords and Shields, then just wait until Varric writes his next book, Fifty Shades of Grey Wardens.
You son of... I was literally spending all afternoon trying to think of a pun to go with this scene, and here you come along and just knock everyone out of the fucking park. Fuck you, and bravo.
Cassandra is in Swords and Shields fandom hell right now. She probably has a closet filled with like 50,000 fanarts, fanfictions, headcanons, predictions and theories.
ArchDuke22 Wow. Okay I'll bite, but SHE said that...and what she actually said was: "I know Varric is working on the next one, he must be!" Which is hypothetical. So she had no clue what he was actually doing or what he thought of it. But before you post another too-serious angry response though, I'm not saying there isn't some rational explanation for it, what I thought was funny was just the implication that the novel she loves is so bad that he can either write it all in less than a day, or hell even finish it if that's more preferable (complete with full hard-cover and probably fake review on it. lol ). Either way, the implication just makes the scene funnier to me. Like, not even Varric liked his own serial and just half assed it quickly enough for Inquis to give it to her.
Cassandra & Varric is the new Alistair & Morrigan. 1:28 Oh, I can picture it. "Varric! As Herald of Andraste and Inquisitor, I command you to write smut for Cassandra!"
hate to break the illusion but what I find funny is very soft core "smut" f it can even be called that. Varric says something like that when you choose a specific dialogue option. I cant remember, it's been a while
*Cole said he had friends but tells you not to find them* Inquisitior: *Assembles Advisors in the war room* All right fuckwits, we're looking for some kids. *Inquisitior receives a letter from Dorian's father but advises him/her not to tell Dorian* Inquisitior: Yo Dee-dee! Check this out! *Cassandra tells Inquisitor not to tell Varric that she read his books.* Inquisitior: Oi Varric, I know something that you don't.
Isn’t it fitting that the absolute head of a continent spanning organization with an interventionist wing of paramilitary forces, an international spy network, and a diplomatic corp with connections to at least 2 heads of state, is a busybody who can’t help herself from getting involved in other people’s business xD
The difference between a good friend and a best friend is that a good friend will leave things alone when you ask them to, while a best friend will *not* leave things alone when you ask them to, and will, in fact, get in your business while cackling the entire way.
Funniest frenemy companions in Dragon Age by game: - Alistair and Morrigan in Origins. - Aveline and Isabela in II. - Varric and Cassandra in Inquisition. I freaking adore every single one of them!
In my playthrough Cole talked instead of Dorian. It was something along the lines of.. Cole: She read that one three times Cassandra: I told you to stop spying! Cole: You would never read me the last chapter anyway
Know that feel bro. I hoped that BioWare would've paired them together, but this privilege was for Iron Bull and Dorian (yes, it seems like if you don't romance neither Bull nor Dorian they get together, which is ok, but damn I was hoping for Varric/Cass)
***** Basically, yeah. Which is cool because if you listen to their party banter, they're hilarious. But still, I was hoping for Varric and Cassandra :c
I think there was a small chatter between Vivienne and Cassandra while exploring where Vivienne asked her why exactly did she have to bring Varric all the way to Haven to interrogate him and why didn't she just send an agent. Cassandra answered "Divine Justinia wanted an autograph of his book"
It is a shame that Bio-Ware doesn't release Varric's books. After hearing Cassandra reading "All THIS shit is weird." aloud I been wanting to read them.
@@juannabanana Remind me, is Cassandra’s VA the same one who did the voice for Knight-Captain Meredith? The same VA who voiced Queen Amanra from the Age of Mythology series.
@@shadowsonicsilver6 Miranda Raison did Cassandra's voice and Jean Gilpin was Meredith. I don't know if she voiced the others. I know she did side work for Mass Effect

SOLD. I'm still about 8 hours in, still trying to do most of the side quests, but omg I cannot wait to get to this part with Cassandra. This is too precious. All high and mighty and underneath she's such a softy.
I've heard it can take up to 50 hrs to reach Skyhold, so you'll be waiting a while, hopefully she was doing EVERY side quest to get that estimated time, I can't wait that long
***** I'm 22 hours in and have yet to leave Haven. To be fair, though, I'm doing lots of side missions and activities, as well as going material hunting all the time, so hopefully it's quicker for those trying to power through the game.
i did 7-9 hours, rushed and "kinda" knew what i was doing, and got there! you gotta really care less about everything to get there though.. *2nd playthrough because i forgot about the dragon keep, never got to the skyhold in the 1st one*
I spent almost 20 hours in just the Hinterlands, exploring and doing sidequests. It took me i think 3 more hours to learn that the place doesn't have Felandris, meaning that i spent all that time wandering around looking for that damn herb for that quest for nothing.
Just started playing like 8 hours ago and now going to sleep. I was planning on romancing Cassandra anyhow but holy jeebies this sealed the deal. I can't believe I'm about to say this.. but.. THIS IS SO SUPER FUCKING KAWAII. KAWAII AS FUCK BRO.
Just saw the romance scene and I have to say - even though I like the occasional one-night-stander, under the cold handsome steel that is the Trav, I am quite the hopeless romantic ;) Also she has a nice ass.
Oh my god. This. Out of all the crazy fantasy stuff the DA games have had, this situation is probably the closest to realism the games have come! Poor Cassandra X)
FullmetalHeart20 i killed arch demons slained flemeth and sat through the repetitive level desighn and bad difficulty level scaling of origins but nothing is worse than fan girls
Cassandra is such a fan girl in this series of scenes. It really shows a tender and more affectionate side she keeps locked away. And she’s a fan of Varric’s writing...too damn cute lol.
The Hard in Hightown's codex mentions a Guard-Captain who is clearly inspired in Aveline, a pirate woman who is practically Isabela with another name and an elven girl inspired in Merrill.
@@matthewgaviola8885 if you romanced him Varric said he wrote to him to update on what hawke has been doing So that implied that hawke taught him how to read and he retained all that
Guess Varric didn't realise, in a bit of irony, that he believes swords and shields is the worst, but unaware that its a hit with the women, especially Cassandra! XD Seriously though, i have to agree with Varric: completely... worth it.
Its his publishers fault. I believe he was lying to him about its popularity to try & keep the majority of the money Yeah that's kind of an irony that the women seem to enjoy the most
On one hand I'm like "Nice, Varric made a book about Aveline", but then it's the worst one he's written, and considering Aveline mostly disapproved of his books, I'm not surprised it's kinda crappy. XD
I kind a felt bad watching Cassandra getting pick on by her friends. But that was just one of the most adorable thing I ever watched. I think the book was good, Varric must have serious high standards because he's a professional.
Me too, I didn't like her in awakening or the beginning of inquisition. But slowly she grew on my team along with Varric and Dorian, I love hearing the banters where she always argues with both of them.
If the developers refuse to make Varric a love interest for the third time in a row, then I want him and Cassandra to be a couple. I swear their dynamic is unmatched!
Well, more for us. If they want supermodels and porn, they've come to the wrong place. Too bad for the rest of us, huh? These characters have depth and emotion. Not everything can be defined by looks. Cassandra was so endeering gushing over her romance novels. Makes me want to protect her all the more. This shows her humanity. Her soft side.
I loved how the voice actress' tone changed when she starts talking about how good the books are. She suddenly goes from hardened warrior to noble girl, all innocent and even more french.
Yeah its in the random dialog of DA2 when Aveline and Varric are both in your party, Aveline mentions the book series and about how she feels the main character seems very much like herself. Varric just shrugs it off.
Varric wrote a semi autobiographical tale of Aveline, to which Cassandra became a fan despite her AND Cullen (definitely Cullen) possibly knowing Aveline (probably has no clue it's about her)... And I picture Cassandra possibly writing fanfiction of the story about a women she might know but definitely her friend does (Cullen is her friend don't @ me). And that information is just amazing to me. Especially since she later finds out SHE becomes part of the book.
I am going through my first Inquisition playthrough. I watched the Dragon Age movie and liked Cassandra so I have been romancing her. I saw this interaction about the book and oh my gosh, I was just thinking how absolutely adorable she is. Was taken completely by surprise. I knew Varric's books and was just so blown away and thought she was just awesome and cute.
This was the first glimpse at Cassandra's romantic side (aside from a few scenes in DA2). After this I should have expected the poems, candles and flowers quest for her romance XD
Seeing that first scene in game made me chuckle and smile at how cute it was. I talked to her again hoping to get more dialogue but instead had Cassandra finally open up about her brother Anthony which is so heartbreaking... Seeing these 2 aspects really helped define her character and motives through the story. I think she's by far one of the best females in Dragon Age with a cute soft side at heart. ❤
Cassandra: Don't tell Varric.

cass: pretend you don't know this about me
me:(immediately snitches)
I was like, fuck no, Varric HAS to know about this. This is TOO good.
I didn't tell him until after they fought about Hawke. It seemed like the best way to make up after their fight, and it fit in so well. XD
“Oh that’s such a terrible idea, I have to do it”
One line and it explains why I love Varric
I like that it took Varric like, a couple of hours at most to write an entire novel lol
Imagining the look on Cass's face likely gave him more than enough inspiration.
i think maybe it was in the works and was close to finish, but didnt feel bothered to complete it right away
They did say the story was bad.
She said he was already working on it you tool... those 33 thumbs up jesus christ...
ArchDuke22 Wow.
Okay I'll bite, but SHE said that...and what she actually said was:
"I know Varric is working on the next one, he must be!"
Which is hypothetical. So she had no clue what he was actually doing or what he thought of it.

@@Ed_man_talking9 In Varrick’s world “You show Ankle in a book, it is smut.”
"Oh that's such a bad idea, I have to do it." Varric is the best character in gaming of all time.
*Cole said he had friends but tells you not to find them*
Inquisitior: *Assembles Advisors in the war room* All right fuckwits, we're looking for some kids.
*Inquisitior receives a letter from Dorian's father but advises him/her not to tell Dorian*
Inquisitior: Yo Dee-dee! Check this out!
*Cassandra tells Inquisitor not to tell Varric that she read his books.*
Inquisitior: Oi Varric, I know something that you don't.
fairly accurate ^.^
Best part is, you NEED to do this for the best ending, for all of them. Or rather ANY ending in 2 of them. I believe.
Lmao its what good friends do. It's for their own good
Isn’t it fitting that the absolute head of a continent spanning organization with an interventionist wing of paramilitary forces, an international spy network, and a diplomatic corp with connections to at least 2 heads of state, is a busybody who can’t help herself from getting involved in other people’s business xD
The difference between a good friend and a best friend is that a good friend will leave things alone when you ask them to, while a best friend will *not* leave things alone when you ask them to, and will, in fact, get in your business while cackling the entire way.
“You! You could ask him to finish it!” The one time prude, uptight, practical, Cassandra asks you to abuse your power 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is for an important cause.
It's for morale, you see
I don't mind, considering that the Inquisition is her pet project and technically was the leader lol.
“NOTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HER! SHE WAS FALSELY ACCUSED!”
Cassandra is somewhere writing a fix-it fanfic.
Funniest frenemy companions in Dragon Age by game:
- Alistair and Morrigan in Origins.
- Aveline and Isabela in II.
- Varric and Cassandra in Inquisition.
I freaking adore every single one of them!
Brendan Routh I hope in the next one we get a dorian and fenris
In my opinion its blackwall and sera that has the best banter
Alistair and Morrigan aren't friends though.
Aveline literally helps you protect Isabela from the Arishok only to ensure no one else whips her pirate ass.
Perfect frenemy.
That friend-fiction that Isabela wrote of Aveline and Donnic's relationship is gold.
I cracked up when I saw aveline on the cover.
In my playthrough Cole talked instead of Dorian. It was something along the lines of..
Cole: She read that one three times
Cassandra: I told you to stop spying!
Cole: You would never read me the last chapter anyway
I got Dorian on my first playthrough when I sided with the Mages and then I got Cole on my 2nd playthrough when I sided with the Templars.
The last line was actually, "I don't like the knight captain either"
Thats so crazy how even after all this time of playing this game over and over again to death I never even knew that could happen
I absolutely love the Varric/Cassandra relationship, I want the game purely for this moment :D
I thought they'd have an Act 3 Avaline & Isabella kind of friendship by the VERY end but this is way better :D
Know that feel bro. I hoped that BioWare would've paired them together, but this privilege was for Iron Bull and Dorian (yes, it seems like if you don't romance neither Bull nor Dorian they get together, which is ok, but damn I was hoping for Varric/Cass)
Punk NeverDie so Bull and Dorian are the ME3 Tali and Garrus of Dragon Age?
***** Basically, yeah. Which is cool because if you listen to their party banter, they're hilarious. But still, I was hoping for Varric and Cassandra :c
Punk NeverDie Maybe if Bianca ever breaks he'll name the next one Pentaghast (Cassandra would be too obvious)
"Cassandra greatly approves"
That was written by Isabella if I remember correctly. Not that Izzy would mind if Varric slipped in some of her "friend-fiction" into his work.
It might've been, only sword/shield warrior with red hair we've seen.
*****
it is her...
***** Oh come on! How could Varric NOT write about the awkwardness of that special 'date' Aveline had?
Well, in Varric's Hard in Hightown we have three characters clearly inspired in Aveline, Isabela and Merrill.
I knew she secretly a biggest fan who loves Varric's works. Just imagine if this is the real reason she kidnap Varric in the first place.
I wouldn't be surprised. in fact I think she's the only one brave enough to tempt Bianca's wrath for doing so.
Before you tell me about the events at Kirkwall..... Can I get an autograph? It's for a friend.
I think there was a small chatter between Vivienne and Cassandra while exploring where Vivienne asked her why exactly did she have to bring Varric all the way to Haven to interrogate him and why didn't she just send an agent. Cassandra answered "Divine Justinia wanted an autograph of his book"
Youwon't Getmahnamegoogle is that in DA2?
Walter Cooper Nah in Inquisition man, Vivienne ain't in DA2.
Cassandra: Don't tell Varric.
Inquisitor: Girl, you're literally inviting me to tell Varric about this.
Lol, I remember a party banter in DA:2 when Isabella and varric read a passage out of sword and shields with aveline around. So funny. xD
link?
ShadowWolfRising Search "varric and isabla friend fiction" or something along the lines of that. It's great. xD
Quickly falling for Cass, right here. Damn, I'm gonna have to have a male playthrough.
I'm so sad that I can't lesbian romance her, lol.
germankiwigal true.....
germankiwigal i would of thought with her dominating personality she would of been a lesbian
but bioware loves to pull twist like that oh well
frep you That's ridiculously stereotypical thinking and makes me want to vomit. It's the 21st century, please evolve!
Had my eyes set on her from the start, but granted, after this I haven't regretted at all! :3
0:50 Epic Dorian trolling.
on my game, it was cole
Adhe Perwiratama on my game nobody got involved lol
Just walking by, like a boss
Oh, Dorian... you're like the handsome, bratty little brother of the Inquisition. I never get tired of your sass.
It is a shame that Bio-Ware doesn't release Varric's books. After hearing Cassandra reading "All THIS shit is weird." aloud I been wanting to read them.
Right? I would "read the shit out of" them. lol With audiobook versions narrated by Cassandra. I would so pay money for that.
well if you're dedicated enough, you could read all of Hard in Hightown whilst looking for Codex entries.

Don't think anyone thought you could put Kawaii in a description involving Cassandra when she was first introduced.
Yep, got the same here,bro! It's absolutely like Varric said: Completely worth it!

fully agree !!

"Cassandra Greatly Approves"
holy shit. at 3:16 the woman on the cover is freaking AVELINE. Varric's lucky that shes not around punch him X3

He should write something about fenris magical fisting
Isn’t Fenris illiterate?

1:20 the way her voice got higher in excitement 😍
A golden heartwarming moment of gaming history. 😊
don't ever change, cassie
I totally ship Varric and Cassandra.
This game is such a gem, this kind of events would have me laughing and smiling every time!
This was Priceless!! Varric is without a doubt the best thing to come out of Dragon Age 2.
And people complained about Cass?
People complain about everything and when they like it, they completely forget.
Unfortunately. Sigh. Petty and foolish, that.
Fickle too, but that's Bioware fans for you! ^_^
The worst part is that the crux of their argument is that she looks "ugly". I think supermodels and porn have spoiled most people, honestly -__-
Well, more for us. If they want supermodels and porn, they've come to the wrong place. Too bad for the rest of us, huh? These characters have depth and emotion. Not everything can be defined by looks. Cassandra was so endeering gushing over her romance novels. Makes me want to protect her all the more. This shows her humanity. Her soft side.
I can't help but grin ear to ear when I watch this. It's so sweet to see them like this.
And this is when I knew Cassandra was my Inquisitor's one true love. XD
I loved how the voice actress' tone changed when she starts talking about how good the books are. She suddenly goes from hardened warrior to noble girl, all innocent and even more french.
That would be Guard-captain Aveline and Guardsman Donnic! The vook cover looks like her.
Oh my! Cass is such a softie
For that one brief moment, Cassandra wanted to use the full might of the Inquisition to get a book written, and I respect it.
I love how Varric not only had time to write an entire novel, but also printed fucking cover art
I get the feeling Swords and Shields is about Aveline somehow
+Hannah Armstrong Yup, I forget if Varric asked her permission or not, but she is aware of her inclusion.
I had the same thought.
Yeah its in the random dialog of DA2 when Aveline and Varric are both in your party,
Aveline mentions the book series and about how she feels the main character seems very much like herself.
Varric just shrugs it off.
Also, the book art looks exactly like her, lol.
Also, if she marries Donnic, she is content and tells Varric she doesn't mind. Varric is, of course, disappointed that his trolling has no effect.
"What have you done now?" I love the wary suspicion in her voice lol
I'm sure Aveline would be thrilled that she is the main character in a smut novel.
"Pretend you don't know this about me" makes the entire scene
Cassandra is so fucking cute.
I live for Cassandra and Varric's Jaime/Brienne-esque bromance so damn much.
Varric: No I'm not writing a book on my worst series.
Inquisitor: it for Cassandra.
Varric: You son of a bitch, I’m in.
*Grabs book opens it*
**cAsSaNdRa GrEaTlY aPpRoVeS**
.....hmm? What? Where....?
Oh, right. I descended into Joker levels of laughter over this...scuse me.
*hits replay*
I laughed, cried a little, and loved these characters so, so much. Bioware is so awesome.
"I-it's not like I enjoy reading these books b-baka!"
Varric wrote a semi autobiographical tale of Aveline, to which Cassandra became a fan despite her AND Cullen (definitely Cullen) possibly knowing Aveline (probably has no clue it's about her)...
And I picture Cassandra possibly writing fanfiction of the story about a women she might know but definitely her friend does (Cullen is her friend don't @ me).

I talked to her again hoping to get more dialogue but instead had Cassandra finally open up about her brother Anthony which is so heartbreaking... Seeing these 2 aspects really helped define her character and motives through the story. I think she's by far one of the best females in Dragon Age with a cute soft side at heart. ❤
This was brilliant.
We've all been there Cassandra...
"Nobody asked you! Tevinter!" lol
That was fucking adorable lol
Her expressions are priceless X°D
The best scene of the game with the IronBull-Romance one X°D
I Wonder what Aveline could think about it X°D
boy I love Dorian's interruption there
Any chance you did the party banter as well????
well this was... unexpected! but Hell this is freaking awsome!!!
this was just friggin adorable, i can't wait till i reach this part. XD
this game keeps getting better and better xD
Don't tell Varric!
"Me? No! I would never!"
(Immediately go to tell)
Did ANYONE not immediately go and tell Varric? I'm pretty sure we all went to snitch on her.
BEST MOMENT EVER between Cassandra and Varric xD
I'M DYING THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I love Dorian’s little cameo lmao
One of my favorite scenes I always do it no matter who i romance cause it’s so great Varric is always my friend in game
0:09 I love Cassandras reaction
