So Danny asked me a really interesting question on Twitter that I'd rather answer here since Twitter only has limited space for me to type my answer.
Basically the question was:
What would you do if Cullen (or in Danny's case, Cassandra) was a romanceable companion in DA3, but you ended up liking one of the other companion's personality and romance arcs better (to the extent that I liked Alistair).
Now, this is a tough one. Normally the answer would be simple, I'd just romance whatever companion I liked the best. However, I've been desperate to get Cullen as a companion/LI ever since I found out what happened to him at the end of DA:O and we've all been pretty much campaigning for it for a year
(some even longer), so I kinda feel as though my DA3 protagonist belongs to Cullen long before I even know anything about her/him.
So what happens if I play DA3, romance Cullen and think the relationship is nice or lackluster but then discover that
companion B is incredibly charming/witty/funny/attractive and his/her romance arc and personality really strikes a chord, like Alistair's and Kaidan's did with me in previous BioWare games? I think I'd have a difficult decision to make, especially considering after several playthroughs of any BioWare game I'll settle on my favourite outcomes and customised protagonist and then do my ultimate run through
(to be imported) and delete all the rest, I'll only ever have one ultimate saved file for each BioWare game.
I guess what it all boils down to is what Cullen is like as a companion/LI and if he will romance anyone else if I chose to go with the other companion instead. It sounds stupid but I feel like I owe it to him to give him a happy ending
(hur hur) even if it is only temporary, but If he'll romance another companion or npc
(if I don't romance him) then at least he wouldn't be completely alone and angsty, so I wouldn't feel quite so bad about it. Although, I do kinda squee a bit when my chosen romance only has eyes for protagonist
(like Kaidan, Anders and Alistair... if you ignore the Darkspawn chronicles dlc codex LOL!)
