meanie, this is how I've always interpreted it, too... which has bugged me! LOL I've never thought about it how Lola suggested. Hmm... interesting. Could be that he's "saving" himself for someone as amazing as Amell was, indicating that he's open for business...? Or that, erm, Hawke definitely doesn't fit the bill..? I dunno. Have to think more (*hears her Hawke/Cullen OTP starting to shatter around her*).meanieweenie wrote...
Hmmm... this line sounds awfully final to me. "Never met her like again" sounds like his mind is set that there is no other. Period. End of story. Like he's closed himself off from the very possibility that perhaps one day there could be another. Putting it into perspective however, it would be an expected reaction. Sort of like after a night of hard drinking.... then you wake up feeling terrible the next day saying "I'm never going to drink again!" and you honestly mean it at the time. If one has their heart broken they'll likely feel that "I'll never love again" .LolaLei wrote...
I've just been playing DA2 and decided paid a visit to the Gallows (to perv) which of course, activated Cullen's dialogue about remembering Amell. Whilst I listened to him speak I noticed something interesting... It's probably just wishful thinking or me looking into things that aren't there, but for the sake of speculative conversation I'm gonna share my thoughts.
Firstly, let's that a look at the dialogue in question:
Cullen: "I knew an Amell once, she was a very special woman. Never met her like again."
It's clear that this dialogue was added in as a nod to anyone who imported the Fem!Amell Warden and to suggest that his seemingly hard line "no compromise for mages" attitude was starting to soften. However, I got the impression that there was more to that line than intially meets the eye.
Cullen could've simply said "I knew an Amell once, she was a very special woman" and left it at that, but instead he goes on to say "Never met her like again". This got me thinking, could Cullen be hinting towards the fact that he's interested in meeting that "special someone" but has yet to find anyone else who has come close to the caliber of person that Amell (or Surana) was? Is it a subtle indication that he's open to the idea of a relationship even if, when the time comes, he finds himself conflicted at first due to the "angst" that Gaider predicts in his future?
Perhaps it's a hint that he'll be a love interest in DA3? Since he's never met her like again- until the new DA3 protagonist came along to stir up all those emotions that he thought he'd never feel again.
Whenever I've listened to that dialogue in the past I've always felt that he seemed kinda disappointed that he'd never met anyone else that has compared to or surpassed the feelings he'd had for Amell (or Surana), but until now I'd never realised that there could be more to his words than a simple wistful remembrance.
Your thoughts?
Cullen just needs our DA3 selves to show him the light.
Wow, I totally never thought of it like that! I mean, we've all done it lol. That being said, if he has indeed convinced himself that he'll never love/lust again, or maybe not allow himself to, then that would certainly be a cause of "angst" if/when he finds himself falling for the DA3 protagonist.
If your theory is correct then I'd say that's an even bigger foreshadowing that he'll be a love interest because it's dramatic and who doesn't love that LOL!
Retour en haut
