OMG. Ahem, "O" for "outstanding" of course. LMAO

[LolaLei]

R2: Absolutely!

... Maybe he's doing his little Johnson rap for his Templar buddies, either that or he's choir singing. :-S

Oooooo good question!

Hm, I think i'd like to see a desperate longing kiss since the poor boy probably has years of pent up sexual frustration. But I'd also like to see the sad "last kiss" when it comes to the final goodbyes before the big fight (kinda like the Kaidan/Shepard kiss at the end of ME3.)

I like the desperate longing idea. Sort of the "dam breaking" kiss. The first Anders kiss was hot, minus the sound effects for me. Which were especially mood breaking when subtitles were turned on. LOL

Anyone know how I get my pc dragon age profile to show up? I already have my game registered but my profile for that version of the game only redirects me to my pc DAO player profile.

I can see your DA2 xbox game and the character you've created, but not not the DA2 pc one.

Hmm, yeah, afraid I have no idea. I see that you have the game the registered but the only profile I see is the xbox one for DA2. In my experience with the online profiles, it typically takes MUCH longer than I expect for my stuff to show up online. That said... could it be buggy for DA2, having more than one profile? Dunno.

Nothing like seeing the word "pants" during an intimate moment LOL!

I do wonder what kind of kissing scene they'd give him baring in mind that he's had little to no intimate experiences with women, would they just make it a sweet little kiss or a clumsy one? ... Actually, that would probably take too much work, especially as they seem to have trouble making Dragon Age kisses look realistic. Truth be told, it'll probably just be a typical default kiss like everyone has.

I'm hoping they'll make the sex scenes relevant to the love interests personality though, in DA:O they were all pretty much the same scene with subtle differences and in DA2 they all took place within the Hawke mansion, usually in the bedroom. I'd personally like to see all the love interests in DA3 have a more interesting build up during that scene as it leads up to the sexual encounter, rather than them just standing there talking and then *BAM* kissing/sex. I always refer back to his one but the Kaidan/shepard romance scene in ME3 got it spot on, they had Kaidan arrive with a drink and they'd interact whilst talking (Shepard pours a drink, after a while she straddles Kaidan, then after a little conversation he carries her to the bed and the sex scene starts), that's what the Dragon Age games seem to lack, the interaction between the characters during conversations... just standing there with a blank look on their face really kills the immersion.

Hm, so Mr Darth Gaider himself has been playing ME3 and is applauding the writers for Thane's death on his tweets....be very afraid ladies, he might be tempted to kill off one of our beloved companions in DA3. I swear if he kills off Alistair, my Warden or Cullen I might just buy myself a one way ticket to Edmonton, gather up all the fan girls and boys and make one hell of a protest LOL!

... Though to see one of them die whilst playing as a new protagonist wouldn't be as poignant story wise as it would be if we had played as the same character through three games like we did with Shepard, it would still royally upset the fans though. However, if any of our DA3 companions could die (especially the LI's) then that would work, though I'd still be upset... especially if there was no way we could save them. You know what? I bet it would be Cullen they'd choose to kill off, what with his lyrium addiction and everything. Man, I'd actually be gutted lol.

[LolaLei]

I love the expression on his face in this one:

I found Thane's death to be very poignant and touching (even though I never felt the urge to romance him. I actually found him kinda boring and generic. No offence to his fans *Hides*). However, his death didn't surprise me. Even if he hadn't died from that stab wound, his disease would have claimed him anyway. I actually prefer the way he died, he saved a life :-)

But yeah, if David Gaider is planning on writing in a main character death, he's got some pretty hard acts to follow if he's going to try and emulate ME3 (in terms of deaths. And no, I'm not counting a certain one that many fans have headcannoned out of existence).

I just have this horrible feeling that it'll be Cullen they'd kill off in that situation (if they do make him a love interest/companion that is.) Mainly because he has a lot of redeeming to do and I can just imagine him putting his own life on the line to save a Mage after coming to terms with the fact that not all Mages are dangerous/weapons/evil/whatever or take on some bad guy by himself to bide the rest of the companions/PC enough time to escape... which would make for a very emotional scene but I'd be so ****ing pissed off if I wasn't given the option to be able to save him. Ideally which companion DG 'n' co hypothetically chose to kill off you'd be able to save them some how (like if your friendship is high enough or whatever, like you could with Grunt in ME3 if you had him loyal by doing his mission in ME2.)

I most certainly hope so. I really want a playable Amell mage character to have the chance to romance Cullen. That would make all three of my DA characters either immediate Amell girls or related (My F!Hawke).

I can just see Alistair (not king), Fenris, and (possibly) Cullen commenting on this. Might be something along the lines of, 0_o "Heroism must be in the blood or something..."

Both my Warden and Hawke have been Amell Mages, except my canon DA2 playthrough is male Hawke. I'd like to play as an Amell mage again in DA3, so I can pretend that it's something special about that particular family that's "in their blood" so to speak. But most of all I want to romance Cullen as a female Amell Mage just to see if it would create any extra dialogue regarding my Warden and Hawke and also because I personally can't imagine Cullen ever being with anything but a Mage... and I like the potential drama. Unless it gets him killed, or breaks the couple up for some reason.

[MissRedZelda]

Ooooooo, drama... Take notes, Bioware!

OH NO ... don't give them any ideas! But, I agree, something like that would make for delicious drama. Still haven't played through mass effect myself (so didn't know about Thane or whatever other BIG deaths happen from all the bruhaha), but from what I hear, they're not a  bad series from which to get inspiration (and of course, I've still fallen in love with Kaiden somehow. :shakes fist:  Damn you Bioware and your pixel men!). The thing about deaths though... thematically it sounds like they fit with an overaraching three-game arc for ME, since everyone knew that was The End™. I wonder if that would work as well for the DA franchise, which ostensibly will continue on into perpetuity (she says wistfully while praying to the BW gods). Given the presumed lack of swan song in the next DA (crosses fingers), I would imagine any death would be avoidable, in the sense of how you could in principle choose Anders' death or how you could choose Kaiden or Ashley in ME or choose Morrigan's ritual.

That said, having a Big Choice involving poor Cullen offering to redeem himself through death on behalf of the mages would be a nice final character moment for him (for haters and non-haters, alike). Pretty hard to accuse him of ambivalence then! It could work even if he wasn't a LI, since he could be sacrificing himself for some ideal future somehow, where mages and templars co-exist peacefully and mages are treated fairly... cue rainbows and moonbeams and sun dappled pools.

Of course, now I'm imagining that shivery scene at the end of the first LOTR, when Aragorn lets Frodo leave with the ring, then in slo mo walks alone toward the oncoming horde of orcs bearing down on him. Then again... he also survived that battle...

As a reminder, it featured a quite lovely April.

So long as he can survive the end like Aragorn did lol. Man I'd be so pissed off if you couldn't save him. I don't much fancy killing off any of my companions, I try to keep them all alive where possible.

But yeah, I have a strong feeling Bioware will do something similar with him.

Hi all,

I will never catch up here it seems. I'm sick as a dog. (Who was it here that was sick earlier? I will hold them responsible. lol) Anyway, you were talking about kisses and I wanted to just throw out there that is one of my favorite. non-kiss moments on film:


You can skip to about 2:27 if you don't want to bother with the whole scene.

Also, I have to agree with R2 on the "dam breaking" kiss idea. Love it!

GAH! That scene! Seeing the simmering subtext they bring to those familiar words... ah, anything remotely as repressed and scorching for Cullen in DA3 would be swoon worthy indeed. Add in an equally sodden, Colin Firth walking up from the river moment and I'd die happy.

Thanks for sharing, meanie, and hope you feel better soon!

Ooooo something like that during an argument would be awesome, but would probably be ruined by us having to pick a dialogue option LOL.

I was just looking at that Dawn of the Seeker film thingy. Mike Laidlaw said this:

"An action-packed look at the origins of a character destined to shake the very foundations of the Dragon Age world."

Sounds like Cassandra is gonna be in DA3, probably as a companion since they've gone to so much trouble telling her backstory.

This Video seems to confirm that, too. As well as a few technical things, as well.

I'm still of two minds on this... despite the Seeker armor reveal. It could also be that ... her story is told now, and the companion is a new Seeker character. Altho, admittedly, more likely that it would be Cass herself.

But this reminds me that I probably need to pick that up given my obsession with Seeker lore. What do you think the odds are that I could just rent it from somewhere...? I know that makes me sound cheap, but I sorta doubt it's gonna be a watch over and over sort of movie. :shrug:

It'd be so cool if the DA3 setting's going to be Orlais!

Apparently in the Seeker film there's a grand Cathedral like the Notradame Cathedral in France, so we should have a big impressive one in DA3 if it follows the film.
