I thought he was sweet in DA:O, plus it was funny watching him run away. But he became of real interest to me after his torture, and again upon discovering that he was the Knight Captain of the Kirkwall circle and watching his attitude change as the years went by.


I agree with you. I thought it was sweet. I laughed so hard when he ran away though..even tried following him just to see what he was doing, lol.
when he blew up at my warden afte his torture I wasn't that upset about it, I understood why he was reacting the way he was. If I had been him (and not in that cage) I probably would have killed anyone who walked into the room. 

When he became knight captain of Kirkwall, I did a double take and it took me a few moments to realize it really was him. 


I didn't realise it was him at first either lol, it took me until he mentioned the Ferelden circle for the penny to finally drop lol. (I've always been terrible with names lol).

It was as if dozens of voices suddenly cried out at once and were suddenly silenced.... due to hyperventilation. lol

I felt the ripple in the cosmos that is Mr. Gaider so I had to come see what I missed.

The word 'ripple' makes me giggle for some reason...Don't know why..

As you can tell, I think we are all still trying to catch our breath.

"He's riding away..."

"Riding away... Will he ever ride back? 'That chapter is... definitely... closed.'"

Gah, sorry, get misty when things remind me of the Greer Garson Pride and Prejudice.

LOL

LOL That could be. It was actually kinda nice to be reminded of the big brother crazy threads around here,
Anders, et al. That we're not the only passionate fanbase. Of course... it seems like Cullen is just the new whipping boy since there's a better chance of him being in DA3 than say, a mostly dead dude like Anders. Or sorta dead dude like, *sob* Nate.

You could just say that he stands a better chance than characters who have resolved their story arcs in other games.

Alistair: Too complicated. He could be king, he could be a wandering drunk, he could be dead. In every scenario where he isn't king, we know how the story ended.

Anders: No matter what you did to him in DA2, his story is over. I love the character, but I don't need to see him (and Hawke) in DA3 to know that they're off doing mad, revolutionary things together.

Nathaniel: He's off doing Warden things. If the stuff they were doing in the Deep Roads is relevant to the plot of DA3, we very well may see him again, but even then, there's a chance he could be dead. I don't think they'll be bringing anyone back from the grave this time around.

Fenris: Like Anders, his story is over. Depending on your Hawke, they may be off producing babies somewhere or otherwise living happily ever after, but there aren't a lot of ways I could see working him into an Inquisition. Unless he wound up back in Tevinter somehow and we go there, but that's a lot of maybes.

Varric: We'll probably have to see how the comics go, but I have a hard time placing him in Orlais. He knows how to work the game in Kirkwall, but Kirkwall isn't Orlais. I'm not sure he knows how to solve those problems through the tactical use of applied force.

Sebastian: His story was definitely left up in the air, and his ties to the Chantry make him a likely candidate for reappearance. If he does show up again, I really hope that he keeps the assertiveness he gained in his last 5 minutes in the DA2 party. I liked him a lot better when he was ranting at Hawke for sparing Anders than I did when he was being agreeable. Sorry, R2, but I can imagine him more easily in an adversarial role than I can as a follower.

Carver: Maker, how I loved Carver. I would give *anything* to see how he turned out as his own man, out from under Hawke's shadow, but sadly, I don't think I'll get my wish. He probably survived on less than a third of the playthroughs, and even when he did survive, he could be a templar or he could be a Warden.

And the list goes on.

I like the word "buttress", it's just really ridiculous sounding.

I wish we could have seen him and Merrill get together (if you didn't romance her), that would have been so cute!

It's an architectural structure built against or projecting from a wall which serves to support or reinforce the wall.

It's a prop, like the big stone things that hold up the walls of a cathedral.

Maybe we'll get to see them together in DA3, if both survived and you didn't romance Merrill.

lmvao! I just had a vision of that last scene in Wizard of Oz when the Scarecrow gets his brain and rattles off some seriously intelligent jibberish about isosceles triangles. Posted Image

This will be the first and last time I ask this question without an ulterior motive, I legitimately want to know.  I'll save the trolling for launch:

Those of you who describe Cullen's flirtations with f!Amell in DA:O as "sweet" would you mind explaining how you reconcile this with:
  • His position of authority with regards to life and death over f!Amell.
  • His acknowledgement that had things gone differently, he would have executed f!Amell.
  • His categorization of his interest in f!Amell as a shameful, childish, infatuation upon her return to the Tower during Broken Circle.
Furthermore, to those of you whose interest increased based on his appearance in DA:2:

  • His assertion that mages - such as many present suppose to romance him with in DA:3 - "are not people."
Finally, if any or all of the above are acknowledged in your answer as problematic, is your interest in a Cullen/mage romance predicated on his recanting and/or converting to a different viewpoint?  What if he doesn't?  

If you'd like to interpret this post as being a hint as to why there is backlash towards Cullen romance fans on here and Tumblr, that would be perfectly reasonable, because it is.

I wonder if he'd still date her if you made him a Templar? I bet her would, just cos it's Carver lol.

ripple... nipple... *Beavis and Butthead laughter*

Being mature is boooriiiing :P I can't believe DG visited the thread... while I was gone *cry* And y'all are right; who cares if people think we are crazy?? I guess I get scared sometimes that the overwhelming hate for us and for Cullen could result in him not being in the game. Like for awhile I was really scared DA3 would not get made because of the awful vitriol thrown DA2's way.

Btw, speaking of DA2 Cullen (and that was the first Cullen I discovered), I was replaying the game the other day, and he really is a hard-liner, especially if Hawke is super pro-mage. I wanted to slap him. Only in Act 3 does he say, when you click on him, that Meredith might be mad, and that following Meredith is not necessarily following the templar way. BUT I don't think he's changed his opinion on mages whatsoever. Still thinks they're all dangerous and need to be kept separate from the rest of society, and it's the templars' sacred duty to be their jailers.

And naturally this revelation just made me love his character more and hope to see him in DA3 to see how/if he's grown xD

And this is where you post it up on your Tumblr account, then take the ****** out of us on there for everyone to see, right? Ok. I'll bite.

I simply thought it was sweet in a "stuttering man, who likes a lady" kind of way. I felt sorry for his lack of experience when talking to females and I found that amusing. Beyond anything else, sure it's kinda creepy. BUT nothing was ever gonna happen between them, so it wasn't a problem.

Not this time.  No promises for the future, though.

I find that hard to believe. Anyway, you can go now if you want.
