Obviously this depends on choices made in DAO i.e. if your warden lived or sacrificed herself; but since Cullen was obsessed with the female mage/warden could one possible reason for her disappearance be that the Templar has finally flipped and decided to act upon his unrequited love/obsession and so abducted her or killed her. Again this would depend on choices made in DAO and weather Cullen went crazy and ran off or weather he became Knight Commander.
Is it just me or could it not be a possibility, given the poor guy was tortured to the point of near insanity. OK he has a huge dislike/mistrusts of Mages but given ending in DA2, I personally feel that things might have been put into a little bit more of a prospective given that Meredith was just as bad. Besides the warden was the few mages that he really had any feelings for apart from loathing and mistrust. He loath her kind but let’s face it DA2 shows he still wants/thinks of her.
This is an interesting theory/piece of speculation. It certainly fits into the "what would make you want to murder-knife Cullen" debate we like to have in here, lol. My Warden Amell romanced Alistair, so I think if Cullen did get a sudden case of the crazies then Alistair wouldn't hesitate to cut him down... if my Warden didn't do it first!
I expect that he's probably long over Amell/Surana by the time we meet him in DA3. In DA2 he does mention Amell and appears to look back on his memories of her in a swoony/dreamy kind of way, but I got the impression that it wasn't in a "I want her" way, and instead his mention of her was to show the following:
1) That he no longer thinks badly of her after the broken Circle event and had come to terms with the feelings of guilt he felt for having an innocent crush on a mage
(that he never acted on). This in itself is progress, especially given the rumours going around the Gallows about it.
2) That his hard lined "never trust a mage, never doubt the Order" way of thinking is starting to slip and he was beginning to have doubts, which we see throughout the course of DA2.
3) Cullen pointed out that "she was a special woman,
never met her like again". Although it was a blatant Easter Egg to all the Amell players
(though, he obviously felt the same about Surana Wardens too), it also served as confirmation that he'd never met that caliber of woman again, and is likely still single.
I've often wondered if that last part is more than just an ego massage to Amell players, and more of a subtle hint that he might be romanceable in DA3, like, he's never met anyone else that he considers as "noteworthy" as Amell/Surana or brought about the same kind of intense feelings, until he meets the DA3 protagonist
(if you choose to pursue his romance).
But anyway, after 10+ years I think he's probably long over obsessing over Amell/Surana
(if the player even played as a mage), with the state of Thedas, the Templar Order breaking away from the Chantry and the mages rebelling he's got more important things to worry about.
That being said, there's still a possibility that he could show up stark raving bonkers in DA3 due to more stress since the Meredith/Kirkwall thing, or even end up mad by the end of DA3, but I don't think the Warden is at any risk of being kidnapped by him, LOL.
As for his endings in DA:O, they were all retconned and are now considered obsolete thanks to the Witch Hunt dlc placing him in Greenfell for recovery and then being sent off to Kirkwall by Knight Commander Greagoir to work in the Kirkwall Templar Order.
Retour en haut
I like to think 
Otherwise, I liked that too. 
Now if only I could convince the Powers That Be to have a heavy metal track done by In This Moment - complete with badass music video - I'd be content! lol!
