I just have to share this! Not Cullen related, but this is a guy I found on Deviantart a while ago. He's by far the best Alistair look-a-like, and he makes all his own armor for cosplay. I'm super impressed. http://mrbob0822.tum...osplay-tutorial

He has a write up somewhere on his deviantart account about why he picked Alistair. He's just overall a nice guy and thought I would share his tutorial.

here's his Deviantart page.

Think I'll be visiting his page lots for photo ref lol

Must be his magnet personality making his shield stick! 

[LolaLei]

Vamp: Oh! Yeah he's quite well known around here! We were discussing the other day that a few of us only find him attractive when he's dressed as Alistair LOL.

I hope some pretty looking Cullen cosplayers appear after DA3 is released!

Hadn't read that one before. It's pretty difficult  to write something totally unbiased. I think Vieralynn had a much more interesting breakdown of his storyline and character potential on her tumblr. Also, I was just a tiny bit sad that the writer went from "female mage warden" to "Amell, Amell, Amell" by the end.  No love for Surana.

Thanks for the link.

[LolaLei]

Narcia: Yeah, I've noticed that people tend to forget that he also fancied Surana.

[Danny Boy 7]

I think most people forget about Surana all together unfortunately. He/She was just as good as Amell!! Kinda.

I feel like they should make someone a relative of his/her, not a protagonist perse, but maybe a companion, just to remind everyone that he/she existed.

Surana, Tabris, and the dwarf commoner origin are the most looked over origins as far as making connections in DA2 and such, I think. I know the Dalish gets mentioned by Merrill, Amell is related to Hawke, Cousland can be King/Queen, and I'm not sure about the dwarf noble. I haven't played through any dwarf characters, so I really have no idea what might connect them to certain situations/characters. 

[LolaLei]

I have a new question for you all:

If Cullen had been a romanceable love interest for Hawke in DA2, what do you think his approach would've been when comforting Hawke about his/her mothers death?

(Feel free to write dialogue for it lol).

[LolaLei]

Damn, I wish I could see what pattern/insignia is on the second part of the Cullen's skirt/tabard in that survey concept art. I don't think it's a second Sword of Mercy and an Inquisitor symbol wouldn't make sense, unless he's already part of it when we begin playing?

Tsk, stoopid white box getting in the way!

[littlenikki]

Good question. I can't think of any specific dialogue, but I'd guess he would try to get Hawke to express her feelings, maybe share some of his own experience with the tragedy of watching all his friends die at the hands of blood mages. If anyone has comparable views on the matter, Cullen does

Move your computer monitor around a bit, that could work right? 

[LolaLei]

LOL! I'm tempted to throw the bloody thing out of the window!

LOLIsn't it funny how you do things like that? Like, tilting my head a little so I get a different view under the white bar.

...hmm, that sounded a little dirtier than I realized...

Oh yeah, that.  Reading back through my comment on that, this sentence bothers me:
"Cullen need only look in the mirror to see himself on the same path as Meredith."

He establishes multiple times that he doesn't agree with Meredith, independent of who you are as Hawke. Pfft.

Why does Cullen have no shirt? Cullen *needs* no shirt. LOL

I love his magical floating shield

LOL Yeah... I could paint it out of there... but was too lazy this time.

That is a good question. I'm not entirely sure what he might say to comfort Hawke. Perhaps that he'd always be there? That he'd do everything in his power to protect Hawke from such a tragedy  in the future? (Not that it isn't kinda late in Hawke's story to be saying that...) I imagine he'd feel extremely responsible, considering what actually happened, especially in his position. All in all, I think he'd be feeling pretty wretched about the whole thing. Moreso than a companion or love interest who wasn't connected to the whole affair.

Edit: I definitely don't see him as the type to try to use the event to "prove his point" or argue his position about blood mages or anything. He's shown too much concern for others to act like such a jerk, imo.

Oooh, I like that. I could see him definitely focusing on trying to fix it for her. What he should have done. What he still should do. Then, she could look at him, tell him to shut up and just hold her.

[LolaLei]

R2: Yeah the mirror comment irked me too. It was made pretty obvious via his dialogue and actions that he realised around the end of Act 2/early Act 3 that Meredith was too hard line and that he was on the same rocky path, which is why he disobeyed her orders and aided Hawke in slaying her.

I think the only way he could even possibly be pushed into Meredith's style of zealotry would be if he was gradually manipulated into that trail of thought by an anti-Mage protagonist.

Agree. He even talks about his doubts to a pro-templar Hawke during Act 3, but I think there could be certain catalysts that could bring him around to that.

Anyhoo, otherwise it was an okay article. At the very least balanced in terms of pro/con Cullen!

[LolaLei]

Yeah, it's nice to see an article about him that isn't filled with hate in the comments.

[rapscallioness]

I think Cullen would have felt Very Responsible for what happened to Leandra. And that actually might have made his stance towards mages sooo much worse. The mother of someone he loved; that met her fate in that particular way--a horror that he is familiar with; knowing that "he" as a Templar was supposed to protect others from this very thing--and he failed. Failed the person he loved in such a dramatic way. (Regardless if they didn't actually have that much to go on)

It would not have been a good scenario.

Sigh, I always imagined Leandra and Emeric getting together.

DA2 was a rough game for Hawke. And even thou my Hawke was mostly snarky, I think she may have been the lonliest PC I've ever played. That first playthru..Geez. (and I didn't even bring Anders on the Deep Roads w/ me..so, yeah). So much lost.

I'm kinda glad that Cullen wasn't an LI in Da2. It just wasn't a good time for that.

[LolaLei]

I think he would've felt very guilty. I dare say he felt pretty bad about the whole thing anyway. Which reminds me, can anyone remember if he says anything to Hawke about his/her loss? My minds gone blank.

[rapscallioness]

I was just trying to remember the same thing. I don't remember.

I don't see anything on the Google readily at hand. And you know he knows cuz ? Meredith throws it in ur face.

Maybe the writers just didn't put that in there.

[rapscallioness]

Hmmm. I was trying to find a pic of Cullen angry face from when he was taking Bethany to the Circle.

I was like , "Over my dead body, Templar!!!" Rawrz, and all that. And he stepped up like, "Yeah, Rawrz back at ya, Biaotch!" Lol.

That particular rogue playthru has diff Cullen feel to it. It's difficult for those Hawkes to really look at him. Cuz all they see is the Templar that dragged their sister off to the Circle. And yet there's still that attraction.

Tension. Tension everywhere.
