Missing Cassandra scene?

Hello.

So... i don't really know if it's "missing", but i seem to remember a different scene with cassandra when you ask varric for the book.

I remember the inquisitor going up to her like the usual scene does, but with the book in hand and hanging it in front of her face or something like that. Cassandra jumps up in surprise and goes to grab the book but the inquisitor evades her.

Like i said, i don't know if it's even a scene at all or if it's just something i made up, but i just remember it so vividly. Anyway it's been haunting me for so long that i couldn't find it via search and still 'remembering' seeing it somewhere.

Either way, thank you. good day.

    Hey @ishri

    The only scenes with someone teasing Cassandra with a Hard in Hightown copy like that, which I can recall, would be with Varric himself 🤔 

    However, if the scene, which you described, is connected with her romance, I might not remember it... With all my DAI runs (and there were quite a few of them), I probably romanced her only two times 😳

    The final scene from her romance shows Inquisitor basically dances around her, while reading poetry from a book, so maybe that what your memory is suggesting?

    Thank you for your reply, Ataashi. 🙂

    Sadly it's not the poetry scene i remember either, even though it might very well seem so.

    The scene i recall is that (please forgive me if i've already discribed the scene. i have a very poor memory.); She is reading the book like normal, and it's the normal scene and all. Then when you talk to varric about the next book in the series, is where it changes. i don't recall how, but i just remember that he didn't come with. The inquisitor then hung the book in front of her face like bait. She starteled and stood up. the inquisitor teased her with the book like he would in the scene with varric. Cassandra made an attempt to snatch the book, but the inquisitor took a step back out of her reach. Saying something like, "well, if you don't want the book it still shouldn't go to waste." as he wondered of pretending to read. Finally Cassandra gives in and says yes to wanting the book.

    After that the memory gets blurry and i might as well be making it up. It might still seem like it with the scene being so elusive. (Btw, sorry for taking up your time on such a wild goose chase. 🤭)

    I thought as much would be the case, though i hoped i had missed a somewhat hidden scene or item or something, to give a sort of hidden option when talking to Varric.

    Again, i don't know for certain that it was even a part of the game.

    Thanks again for your time and reply. I really really hope i'm not making all this up and just wasting time... 🤭

    You're not wasting anyone's time @ishri 🙂

    Now I'm pretty curious about the mysterious scene myself 🤔 It's funny that with your description I can clearly see the scene in my head, but I've also checked a few YouTube videos and found nothing so far 😞

    Not that i want to pry or anything, but is there a way to talk/ask the DEV's about it? or somehow get confimation wether it's real or not ?

    @ishri

    I think the best person to ask would be David Gaider - he wrote Cassandra scenes for DAI 🙂

    He's not working for EA anymore, but you can easily reach out to him on his Twitter.

    I recently went through this area, and I couldn't get Varric to let me go without him.....

    So if you find out what this scene is, and how to activate it, PLEASE post up here as I would love to see it in game.
