Considering all he's been through, he's actually a well-rounded person, who's sure in his convictions. At the same time, he won't go along with authority if he knows something is wrong - like at the end when he stands up to Meredith. Or alternatively with the post-trauma example where he tries to convince Greagoir the mages may still be dangerous.

Besides, he didn't turn psychopath or dictator commander on my main playthrough. He just went to rehab. In Kirkwall, apparently.

He was pretty reasonable, and his view on mags changed over the acts.

That and he was pretty good looking.

What pissed me off about talking to Cullen was every time you approached him, he said "you're the only mage in Kirkwall who would dare approach me so openly," in an arrogant tone.  But he doesn't have the balls to really take you on- just likes to remind you of your place.

When does he say that?  Even with my super pro-mage Hawke all he says is "But surely you're the only mage in Kirkwall who can approach the knight-commander directly if you wished."

That's the line.

Get the same line too every time, but i see it as normal. Imagine a mage being able to approach Meredith and keep his/her head in place after the meeting...its something worthy of comment.
But each to his own i guess.
Some ppl like him, some dont. Same with every character.
I for example am not thrilled with Anders or Fenris but i respect the ppl who really like them. For them to like Anders or Fen means they found something that touched them, regarding these characters.
And one of the good aspects of any game is how close you feel about some characters....and vise versa.

[Wulfram]

I like him up until he goes along with the Annulment. His strange reluctance to fight the Champion condemns him further - he could have disobeyed when Meredith orders the death of innocents, instead he disobeys when she orders him to kill someone who can fight back.

If you side with the templars though you see how he really doesnt agree with the Annulment. I think he went along with it because he wanted to believe that Meredith was trying to do her best. 

[Mr.House]

Cullen was not pleased with what she was doing, ordering the Templars to kill Hawke was the last straw for him.

I don't remember the exact words but it was something like:
"I knew an Amell once. She was a special woman. I never met someone like her again."

This line differs when you played a male mage. Then he refers more to the rescue.

Well, he really had a crush on the female mage warden. Even after years it seems that he did not get over her.

Oh? I have to go get DAO out again. I feel stupid asking this...

Was Amell the family name they gave you as a mage?

If you were a human mage, yes. A distant cousin of Hawke's or something.
If you were an elf, it was Surana.

[Caja]

@ Trapper_920:
Yes . Also, Hawke's mother mentions that the hero of Ferelden was her cousin Revka's child. Obviously Revka Amell and her family were wealthy and of noble blood until she got her child. When it was revealed that the child had magical abilities it all went downhill from there. But these are hints you probably won't find in Origins. I picked them all up in DA 2.

I see, I wonder if that was a bug in my game then. My mage was an elf that Cullen had feelings for but in my DA2 game he said it was an Amell.

Though now I wonder which game was buged. LOL

[Dante Angelo]

Because he's no longer a complete jerk who wants to kill all mages. Although thats probably because Meredeth took over that role

[Jorrkit]

I wonder, if one conducted a poll of Cullen's fans, how many would be women and how many men. I speculate that I have a pretty good idea in advance.

I am male, and I want to punch his stupid Templar face.

[Mxcl]

 I am male and I wish to screw my courage to his sticking place. If you know what I mean.

He's one of the least nutty ones.

Personally, I my Hawkes are always nice to him just because if Meredith disappears, he's probably the next in line to be Knight Commander. And it's always smart to be on good terms with the people in charge. Less... you know. Hanging, Tranquilling, beatings, etc, etc.

Punching him is probably a bad idea.

And I like him, I'm a dude. But I like most of the characters.

[DaeJi]

Cullen was simply the best designed character in the game. He had his views and was scarred by what happened to him. As he saw and was exposed to more, his views changed and adapted to the new information. He was thoughtful and introspective, exploring new ideas. We actually got to see him grow throughout the story into the man who stood up to Meredith and spared innocent mages. I hope we get more of him; I hope he's a companion in Dragon Age 3! Any pride BioWare has for him is well deserved and despite (the many) problems in Dragon Age 2 Cullen was a constant reminder of the quality that BioWare can bring.

I am also a male. And may now possibly be gay for him.

Punching him would be a bad idea? I think Hawke could take him. How many bad guys has Cullen killed, anyway? Two? Three? Hawke has killed thousands. Some of them even exploded.

Two lines of Cullen's that really annoyed me:

1) (not verbatim, I realise): "You cannot treat mages like people."
Merrill and Bethany: .......

2) On the Qunari: "They are heathens!"

[Kawamura]

I don't... think you're thinking this through. It's not so much the punching as the pissing off folks and making an enemy thing.

And the Qunari are heathens, according to the Chantry. He's also got reason to think your Hawke probably shouldn't treat mages like people like your Hawke and him.

[Jorrkit]

Both of my statements were hyperbolic and not meant to be taken completely at face value, much less logicked to death and flung off a mountain. I thought winky-face and sideways smiley made that apparent. Don't emoticons work anymore?

On a non-hyperbolic note that is fully open to your analysis: I don't like him saying that my sister doesn't deserve to be treated like a person. Maybe that's not "fully vested in reason," but so what? I don't like him. Nanny-nanny-boo-boo.

[Gamer Ftw]

I just remembered "Oh no, big templar man! What are you going to do with that sword?"
and giggled for 5 minutes.

[Spatchmo]

I think Cullen has a lot of potentional as a character to grow as a party member if he gets put in Dragon Age 3, but I'm not gonna lie, some of more obsessive fangirls and boys in the Cullen thread have weirded me out to the point where I am starting to hate him the way a lot of Mass Effect fans hate Tali...
