I think Mark Darrah went to Stocklhom a few weeks ago . Oo
Probably means they're still working on the engine :s...or maybe they really like Sweden.

Perhaps something to explore in a future game then.
Ahh I have never played table top, not good with math. Seriously not good at counting or adding. I do RPG on a site that works like this one, it's all based around Vampire the Masquarde and we do use the points system to 'level' up our charaters; but it's about the creative writting/story based RP.
So one person will make a post for their chaarters and I will reply for mine if thay are involved in that particular scene/story.

LOL I totally pictured you saying that in a weird voice....don't know why but it totally made it hilarious.
Picture it said in Sandal's voice!

You know what I'm wondering.
If Bioware is somewhat following our own world history and combining it with that of DA world. You got the Templars, which we had. And then for some reason, this next DA seems like it's going to have the fall of the Templars, which we also had.
Templars also protected ancient and sacred relects. Wonder if there's going to be something alon the lines of that in DA3. And really, if you think about it, having Templars on another world, filled with humans, in another universe, simular to our own...well it would only make sense for it to have simular history.

I know they framed and subsequently killed all the real life Templars when they weren't needed any longer. Something like that could be interesting in DA3.

Well ladies, I'm sad to say this but I must leave again. I've tried to keep up this morning, reading everything while I prepare to go back to my truck. I didn't have time to reply and no I must go. =( I'll see you all again in a couple of weeks. Hopefully... Be happy and well!

Maybe that's why he has the change of uniform. Breaking away from the Chantry and owning their own place in the world.
Be safe! Talk to you soon!SamaraDraven wrote...

Oh wow. I'd never read about the demise of the Templars before. Some interesting inspiration there... check out this part from the Knights Templar wikipedia page:VampOrchid wrote...

Well the Templars of our world, were knights for the church, basically. The Templars in DA is an order for the chantry. Kind of the same deal. Do a quick reading on the Templars of our world and you'll start to see some simular stuff. From the outfits and vows, right down to whom they received their orders from.
Then there's the way the Templars of our world came to an end. By the church, and I believe the Italian leader of the day (don't quote me on that) Which I have a feeling might happen in DA as well. The Chantry might not like it if the Templar Order discovered they didn't need Lyrium...or if they became too much for the Chantry to control.
And I believe there was a 'special' section of Templars in the 1500s that did do some 'witch' hunting.
If I had my druthers, I'd probably lean toward your final suggestion, that that's his "off duty" outfit. BUT one thought I just had... so often we hear things like, "Seekers don't have a uniform" and that the Seeker "logo" is really just the Chantry logo + the eye. So here's an idea: Perhaps concept!Cullen's sword on his flappy bits is just a Chantry symbol, not strictly a templar symbol?? (yeah, I know, a stretch) Maybe he looks different because, indeed, he is still Chantry loyal, so gets an andrastean flaming sword, but no militaristic uniform, because he didn't follow the separated Order?LolaLei wrote...

That's something that puzzles me about his survey leak concept art. If it's legit, then he's pretty much wearing what looks regular "everyman" armor, yet his little skirty/flappy bits shows the Templar insignia on it. Now, is that how all the Orlesian Templars dress (Which contradicts the concept art of Orlais which shows Templars wearing the same sort of uniform as the Kirkwall ones), is he now a rebelled Templar, thus not wearing the Chantry provided uniform anymore? Alternative did the rebelled Templars decide to keep the uniform, thus him not wearing it any longer because he remains Divine loyal?
... Or perhaps he's wearing special companion armor, thus not wearing his fully uniform since he won't be "on duty" but is still wearing the Templar insignia just to show that he is one?

mwahahaha
Oh man. My brain hurts thinking about this. Good point. If the Order no longer serves the Chantry, would they adopt its iconography? Hmm.... I don't know. I suppose no longer being under the Chantry's authority doesn't stop them from being Andrastean, right? The original Inquisition was Andrastean after all, which is why they joined forces. Plus, their original logo, if the Inquisition heraldry file in DA2 is to be believed, was very Andrastean (Maker's sun, Andraste's flaming sword, eye of truth). On the other hand, they might want to distinguish themselves in some way, so could use a new logo/uniform to do that...LolaLei wrote...

Oooo, maybe!
I mean, I'd presume that the Rebelled Templars wouldn't want to use a symbol associated with the Chantry and since it seems that most of the Templars did rebel, there's no real need for the Divine-loyal ones to wear a specific uniform currently, so they just have the insignia on them somewhere instead, just to show theor support for the Divine.

now if he is wearing companion armor, I think it is hella cool. But you raise some good questions. If the leak is correct then I can either assume 1) it is a new revamped templar amor 2) he is a rogue templar, standing up for what he believes templars should be 3) companion armor
personally I want the latter
But I wondered that myself when I first saw it. It doesn't look like the normal so I am now assuming it is not the "assigned" templar amor unless they revamped it. So maybe he has taken leave from the Order? Or maybe he left it all together but still assumes Templar ideals? hmmm
