^This!! I agree that all bets are off at this point. I actually think that could be the whole point of DA3 will be to find a workable solution somehow to the mage problem. After all, how else can the war end but with some kind of treaty. Or, the templars could win and decimate the mages and send the survivors to work camps. Or, the mages could utterly win and turn all of Thedas into Tevinter. But realistically, I imagine they'll find some middle ground.meanieweenie wrote...
It's only cheesy if you write it cheesy. What if (based upon the Asunder plot) the Templar order no longer serves the Divine. What if Cullen find this unacceptable? What if the Divine choses him as a spy or uses him in some other context? Heck, he could always take it upon himself to hunt down apostates and continue with his original oathes to protect mages, etc. We can't assume that a romance with a mage would end badly because the rules from the beginning of DA2 no longer apply if they use Asunder as a plot guide. Seriously, all bets are off. I'm actually very excited to see where this game goes, regardless of Cullens role. (Don't hit me.... hard.)
And, there you could be, settling down with Cullen in that middle ground and having little mage-templar babies.:D:D
Call me dramatic, but I was kinda hoping everyone would be so busy fighting each other that they wouldn't notice the veil tearing open and all the demons/corypheus/etc pouring out of the fade into Thedas *que Sandals prophecy.* Then everyone would sh!t their pants and have to team up and work together to close the veil, then at the end they'd decide to reform the Order under "new management" giving mages breathing space, or form a new order that isn't so strict.
Y'know, I'd even let Cullen die for a cause, but only if my character could then sacrifice herself and die with him... just for shock value lol.
I wouldn't mind taking him into the fade either, let him have a taste of what mages have to face every day. Maybe that would give him a new perspective on magic too.
That would also be facinating! What would everyone do if the Veil completely ripped open? I forgot about Sandal's prophecy, to be honest. Throw in a few nutty zealots like Anders to muck it all up and we got ourselves a big fat bowl of crazy stew! lol I would truly LOVE for part of the next game to be trying to figure out what's actually happening. I love a good mystery in the middle of chaos.
Nighty nite R2!
Retour en haut
See you on the 'morrow. This thread always gets busiest when I need to leave it. But I love seeing all the Cullen pics and posts.
