Wasn't Cullen originally supposed to be recruitable or something? He had additional voice files in the toolkit; I have them downloaded somewhere on my computer...


I know Jowan was originally supposed to be recruitable. I don't think Cullen was.


Oh thank God, the last thing we need is someone whos sounds more annoying than dog and schmooples. Combined. :devil::P

jk jk


You take that back! The part about Dog and Schmooples! :bandit:

Hm, maybe he wasn't supposed to be recruitable, but I think he may have been a temp companion if some sort; his voice files include battle banter and so forth.

Well this just absolutely made my night haha! I'm going to have to check this thread out my gosh that's really exciting to see. (I spy some Jowan in there too! :D)

I'll probably have to try this out once I get my new computer so I can start from the beginning without any lagging and enjoy the entire thing.

@ tysandri
Well ya I suppose he can recover from madness. I hear women like saving guys from emotional trauma anyways (when we like to save you from dragons....mature).

Thank you for your insight tysandri :)

I have dug out an old funny David Gaider quote from the "Cullen romance thread and thought I should share :P Remember it was the Maker who wrote this, NOT me.

David Gaider wrote...
If I wrote a Cullen "romance" it'd have to be creepy as hell.

Cullen: I just want you to know... I love you.
PC: I love you, too.
Cullen: No, no... I REALLY love you!
PC: Er... and I love you, too.
Cullen: You don't understand! I think about you all the time, every waking moment! I look at you and I... I want to touch your skin! I want to brush your hair!
PC: I don't...
Cullen: Ever since I saw you in the mage tower I wanted to protect you. Keep you somewhere safe. FOREVER.
PC: ...
PC: ...awkward.


:lol:

lol KoP, I don't think anyone recovers from that sort of thing. To be honest, I'm of the opinion that everyone from that quest comes out a little less sane. :P

I think it's a good idea you wait on it a bit as it's still a beta release and may have some bugs.

Pretty much everyone has battle cries and the like listed.

Also, Cullen fanart. Image IPB

I know, was being slightly sarcastic :P

But it could be a good story even without a happy ending.

Alright, that's better.

Hmm, I can see some similarities between Cullen and Kolgrim now that you mention him...

Ehhh...

I quite like Cullen as a character.  I think his crush on the female mage is a great touch.  That said, there's no way I'd want him as a romance or as a companion.  My mage was not in love with Cullen during the mage origin--she did notice the crush after talking to him but pretended not to.  Even if he could tag along with me, that would be an awkward situation at best.  After seeing him during the Broken Circle quest, there's no way she could feel affection for him, even if she felt pity.  Declaring that all the mages in the tower should be killed wasn't exactly endearing.

I'd take a really good story over a happy ending any day of the week. In fact, tragedies or semi-tragedies are often my favorites haha.

While I'm not particularly fond of tragic endings, they do have the potential for making excellent stories. A Cullen romance definitely has the makings for a tragic ending.

Can you imagine if there was a Cullen romance and the PC does the US? Oooh, there's an epilogue slide I wouldn't want to see.

haha and no prob. :] I like having intelligent or at least interesting discussions about these things, whichever you'd like to call it. Though I like to say this is an intelligent conversation, no? :)

Yes it is. ^_^
I wish I could contribute more to the thread, I haven't done a female mage yet (where Cullen shines the most).

But you've already helped build it up by contributing such a decent discussion in the makes over his story and character haha. I'd say that faires as a contribution, if anything.

I still plan on making a piece of artwork just featuring Cullen at his highest and most-sane point of rank haha. One that doesn't include my OC, because I like to let the game characters shine on their own sometimes too. :]

My mage was so creeped out when Cullen was talking about how he was being taunted with his shameful infatuation... dude, shut up!

Needless to say, she won't be getting this achievement anyytime soon:

My first playthrough was as a mage and I completely missed Cullen during the Origins quest. So when she returned to the Tower and he was talking about his love and whatnot all she could think was "Who are you?".

Oh, and regarding the WH convo, you get that if you freed the Circle as well. I think it's kind of "rehab before he decides to go wacko"

Yay, Cullen thread, finally! I thought I was the only person who wanted to hug him and drag to a doctor.



BTW, banner in my sig leads to the Cullen group here. And I have a comic about this guy somewhere on deviantart (shameless, shameless). And I will write here something sane when I recover a bit, my head still refuses to work.

Ah, Cullen. My mage was ever so mean to him, leading him on and making him feel all dirty and guilty. Poor bugger.

Ah, I was going to post this here. I've been beta-testing this for Karmalade and it's pretty good - one of my favourite mods, mainly because I'm a DN addict and love Gorim. Can't play a game without this anymore. The only bug I've found for Cullen is that if you're in love with Leliana his conversation keeps looping.

Try it, it's pretty well-written. Cullen's personal quest takes you to Dragon's Peak. (And Jowan's to Aeonar to rescue Lily!)

Wow, that sounds awesome!

Perhaps you don't mind answering a few questions for me. How exactly does the recruiting process go? Do you recruit Jowan after Eamon is recovered (or when you let him flee from the cell)? How about for the other characters? And is it voice acted or just written dialogue?

Some of the companions can only be recruited via specific routes. Jowan becomes recruitable after healing Eamon if you ask Eamon to release him into your custody. Cullen can only be hired if you side with the templars in Broken Circle.

The hiring conversations are cleverly put together from existing VO so they're all voiced, but the beta version only has written dialogue for all the companions (since she's looking for voice actors). All the NPCs in the quests are voiced though, and the companions' combat dialogue all work. Gorim can be picked up in Denerim just by asking, though you lose access to his store once you've hired him.

An earlier version of the mod included Ser Gilmore before it became compatible with Immortality's mod. Ser Gilmore could be hired by revisiting Castle Cousland and rescuing him and Mother Mallol from the dungeons.

It's good stuff. All the companions have specific dialogue for their origins (and are romanceable - hubba hubba).
