I was just playing DA2, when talking to Cullen in the second act (with an Amell Mage DAO import) he said a line that for some reason just...made me melt, damn I hope he's a companion and a romance option in DA3 *crosses fingers* <3

Hi, Danny!!
Okay, I have a really random question that's bugging me and maybe you guys can help (especially MMG).
If you play the alienage elf origin in DA:O, you meet a couple elf kids playing in a back lot and they talk about how there aren't any elf heroes to imitate. So you can kinda say "yeah, tough break" or you can invent one for them (lie).
But Garahel was an elf, wasn't he? How do all the alienege elves not know that? Are they just that uneducated about the Blights, or their own people, or do you think the Denerim authorites go out of their way to make sure that it's something never spoken of?

How could they implement Cullen to where it would make up for not allowing his crush in Origins to blossom? I mean, it was the whole forbidden love thing that got me hooked in the first place. Do you think they could come up with something that would fit a new Hero and do just as good as a job had it been allowed in Origins? It would have been EPIC in Origins, but now I am just really curious how this could go...

I personally found his crush in Origins to be a little inappropriate and creepy ... not that he could help having the hots for someone, but I'm glad they made that not a "romance." Ahh I'm in a hurry, so gotta finish this fast with little to no explanation lol
In DA3, I hope he is at a disadvantage to some degree (i.e. imprisoned) rather than in a position of power over our PC, allowing our PC to do the "heroic" thing and save him, perhaps putting him in the PC's debt. He is an honorable man, and that would be good reason for him to follow the PC methiks (similar to Sten or Fenris).
Just my very brief thoughts xD Good question!

Ok, so Lola had a great suggestion after I asked her this question and honestly it probably would be extremely interesting to hear others thoughts on this....
Thought provoking....incoming:
The development of Cullen through the game has been awesome to see to be honest, I do wonder (if they do decide to make him a LI/Comp) how he will be introduced to the Inquisitor.

I actually really feel bad for the guy, he's a good person and giving him a happy ending would just really make me feel better LOL god that is pathetic.
...I feel the same way, he deserves to have happiness <3
Hmm, I guess I don't really think of the crush in Origins as being something BW has to make up for, since while the crush was understandable, I'm also glad it didn't go anywhere. The power differential between them was too significant without having a few other subplots to unwind it in some way. So, I guess I'm with MMG that I just view the crush in DA:O as a crush, sweet but something from his past that he's gotten over. I'm much more interested in how a more experienced and mature Cullen would deal with romance than the greenhorn he once was. So, for me, I think a DA3 Cullen romance would also be much more satisfying.Demarco09 wrote...

I hate to be "that guy" again.... but I agree with everything you just said, R2. Cullen's a totally different person (I would think) by the time DA3 rolls in. In DA:O he's barely a man. Crushes happen and even if it were "true love", things happen and you move on. DA2 - more reponsibilities and experience under his belt.... he's evolved even then. By this next game, just imagine the possibilities. The horrors of war and conflict seems to affect each soldier uniquely. Some are quicker to anger while others may be more inclined to nuture and forgive. Some curse the fact they lived through it and some praise the Maker for every day they live. BW could truly go in any direction with Cullen. I'm excited to see where his character goes.R2s Muse wrote...

As for the direction they could take it, gosh, I can think of many many ways, depending on the many many ways the story of the Inquisitor could go. He's disgraced after his insubordination with Meredith, so the Inquisitor recruits him to her motley crew of ex-cons trying to make right, giving him renewed purpose. He's a conflicted Knight-Commander working under the newly independent Templar Order, working at odds with the Inquisitor who ultimately helps him find his way again. So many fun redemption stories I could write!

Well said, meanie! Indeed, he could go in so many directions in the next one... just thinking about the possibilities boggles the mind. LOL No wonder DG said he was expecting the pitchforks.
(edit: also, exactly what Danny said! LOL Have we become a hive mind??)
LOL Thanks! Way too many plot bunnies floating around in my head to write down, but we've talked about so many possibilities here on the thread now (thanks to Lola's great prompting!) that they'll all come around again.Demarco09 wrote...
@ R2 seriously, if you write any for DA3 or how you think it might go and are willing to share, hit me up, I would love to read it!

In a way, I hope this is the case.... and I hope it's more difficult than Fenris was BUT I hope he sticks around after the initial nookie. (Boy that irked me!)LolaLei wrote...
Actually, speaking of Cullen's potential storyline. I'm wondering if maybe we'll discover that he's become a hardened, world weary veteran of battle by the time we actually find him, perhaps in recruiting him and subsequently romancing/friending him will require us to break down his protective barrier and essentially "soften" him up a bit.
Mmm, I would like that angle. I also can't help but think that, after all this time, he'd have one of those "I never thought it would happen to me" kind of spinster incredulity that he's falling in love, and that he can't believe someone would love him back. I can't WAIT to convince him otherwise...meanieweenie wrote...
