A little while ago I was having a wash in the bathroom and forgot to close the blinds, usually no one is around so I didn't think anything of it until I heard "I can see your fanny" coming from this butch lesbian who walks her dog nearby, I was thinking **** if I close the curtains she'll think I'm embarrassed and I'll never hear the last of it. Instead I flashed her boobs and shouted back "clearly you're enjoying it or you wouldn't be looking, perv. Getting a good eyeful love? It's the closest you'll ever get to them!" - she shut up quick and hasn't said a word since LOL!
You little minx!
I think I kind of love you a little for that!
:wub:
It certainly seems like DA2 not
only served as the set up to the Mage/Templar rebellion storyline, but
to Cullen's own personal story arc as well. However, on the off chance
that David Gaider 'n' co haven't already decided that he'll be a
companion/LI I want to push the bar in his favour as much as possible.
If people are talking about him, even if it's not always in a positive
light then it will still draw the dev's attention. When it comes down to
it Bioware will do whatever they want with DA3, but we also know that
they do cater to their fans, providing it's in keeping with the story
and lore of Dragon Age, which, Cullen most definitely is.
For me,
this isn't a "omg he's so hawt, he MUST be a love interest in
DA3" squee fest... ...I genuinely feel that
Cullen would be an integral part of DA3's story, just like Alistair was
in DA:O.
... The fact that he's a total babe is just a bonus. 
Amen! Exactly so! And I don'tthink I could have said it better. People are invested in Cullen to some extent, whether they like him or not. We like to see touchstones from previous games. Like Alistair as king/drunk/warden. Having Isabela brought back and fleshed out was neat. It makes sense (at least in my mind) for Bioware to use characters we know. Especially if it's to be part of a story that's appropriate for them and Cullen fits right into the whole mage/templar conflict. Having him be part of DA3 makes sense to me. Gives us someone familiar to tell the story and we're that much more involved in the story because we know what the conflict means to him, what it's done to him over the years.
In that vein, I would say Anders should come back, provided canon doesn't go with his execution as his fate in DA2. And I can't stand him! If he were in DA3 I would be like "Oh YOU again?!" and I would be accordingly invested to see what crazy thing he's gonna do next. If they made another fair-colored, sassy, bi-sexual mage, I might scream.<_<
But, back to Cullen: I loved it when I discovered it was THE Cullen from Origins. I thought it was a little odd considering his known fate was that he was either KC of Kinloch Hold or a freelance nutjob with a brutal prejudice against mages. I didn't like that he was there and spouting about mages not being people, "Of course you'd say that you murdering psycho! At least you're not all about the Smiting and Stabbing anymore."
I had to brush up on my Origins to see how he could have gotten placed there and that's when I discovered I, like everyone else, had ASSUMED the crazy epilogue was about him. They sure made it sound so. But they stopped short of actually saying it. Then I thought it was possible for him to be in Kirkwall after all. Throughout this entire thing, what I thought was cool was that we saw a familiar face, liked or not. It just seemed out of place given his supposed 2 fates, but only one of those was concrete.
The drive to ease my confusion is why I bought PS3 versions of DAO and Awakening when I had previously played them on an XBox 360. When we switched, all that stuff got traded in so I couldn't just replay them. I bought them all over again to play them.
You see where I'm going with this, Bioware?
So putting Cullen into DA3's story might draw in those who are reticent after the disappointment of DA2 but feel somewhat comforted by the familiar. Cassandra said all the circles were gone and templars were rebelling everywhere. That sounds like a good recipe for explaining how Cullen would have had to leave Kirkwall and if the story's conflict is about mages and templars to any extent, he wouldn't be out of place being a part of that. To me, it just makes sense to include him.:innocent: But I'm biased, right? So what do I know?

Retour en haut
Family reunion, of sorts, so also tiring for other reasons.
