Kassandra is one of the most beautiful, most powerful and most awesome player characters I've ever had the pleasure to play. The exception being Commander Shepard in Mass Effect. What Kassandra has on Shepard though, is a finished character design that ticks just about every box in the awesome list. She's strong, she's scarred, she's... Continue Reading →
