I saw one Anders x Cullen pic that was... uh, enlightening.

I'll never know, since I'm the 0.01% that has Anders die in my canon playthrough. *cough* Everyone will just have to tell me what happens if this situation arises in DA:I . 

Bwaa ha ha! Good on you!
I killed Anders all of once and I will never do it again. Seriously traumatized me. I have done some horrendous things on my many playthroughs, but I will never kill Anders again.  If I go pro-Templar and haven't had a rivalry with him to convince him to join the Templar side, I run and hide and let one of my party members kill him for me when you meet him battle. I'm sure I'm one of the  few that likes DA2 Anders better than Awakenings Anders, though!Image IPB


I love Anders to pieces actually, so much so that said playthrough is the very same one where he was in a Rivalmance with my Pro-Templar Hawke. Who was also a mage.... 

Yeah she had some issues. In my defence though, with the Rivalmance he's pretty much begging you at the end to kill him. Saying stuff about how he can't control Vengeance anymore and how he's a danger to everyone. I headcanon it as more of a mercy killing than an all out 'I'm angry with you so I'm going to kill you!' kind of thing. It's really depressing. 

Tore me up inside after it was done but, it just made sense for that Hawke, you know? 

Hnnnggg and all these quest ideas ya'll are throwing out, my next run I'll spare him and see what happens. :D

LOL, make no excuses for playing a Pro-Templar Mage! That is actually my game of choice! In my rivalmance, I'm hell bent on saving Anders from himself and Justice. By keeping him alive I feel like I'm helping him atone for what he's done, plus you get that sweet kiss at the end (always found his friendship romance lacking when he doesn't kiss you before the final battle, the other LI's I've played do). My head cannon always reverts to Hawke abandoning her viscount post to search for Anders in Tevinter (where I think he goes) and continue trying to save him. She's a tenacious sort of gal!

@Dunquixote- Personally? I don't really care. All I every really play is female characters so if Person B or Person C on their computers/XBox/Playstation are romancing him as a male character then it's not really going to affect my game either way. It's not my cup of tea, but hey, whatever floats your boat right?

Just out of curiosity, I think we might have discussed it at one point or another, but since we have more posters here, I want to bring it up again: if Cullen is a love interest in Dragon Age 3, would you want him to be straight or bi?

I personally don't see Cullen as being bi or gay (unless you mean gay as in happy)...but that's just me.

I didn't care for the fact that most of the companions in Dragon Age II could be romanced by either gender. I don't have anything against the option of romancing a character that's the same gender as yours, but I thought the number of characters that could romance both was "overdoing it." I don't know if that's the right way to put it. My apologies if I offended anyone.

I've never cared that they were Bi. I always saw it as an option to let all gender and sexual orientation of players choose who they want to romance for their playthrough. It doesn't affect my chosen playthrough, because during that playthrough I see the character how my protag does. To me, Cullen will always be a straight male and that is how I'd play him, to someone else it may be different. Still doesn't change the way I'd play or how I see the character. I think DA2 did it right by not having the characters have dialogue indicating they were bi. If you played a straight game, the character was straight, if you played a gay game, the character was gay...except Anders, I think? I've never played a Male Hawke, so I don't know, but I've heard things.

I don't mind if Cullen is bisexual.

What I'd like to see is different/special dialogue and scenes for both Cullen x F!protagonist and Cullen x M!protagonist so that both romances feel unique and special to both genders, rather than having the same generic thing just with the "he" switched to "she" and visa-versa. The only real problem I'll have if he is bisexual/player-sexual is that I'd have a hell of a job making myself romance anyone else. If it wasn't for the fact that Alistair was straight I would've had to YouTube all the other romance options, LOL.

I am going to be seeing this CullenXAnders thing in my sleep now. I can't UN-see it! Some of the pictures are really pretty though.

Great points, everyone!

Oh! I didn't mean to sound disrespectful.  To each their own. Err, anyways, nm.  Sorry for bringing it up.  I felt like I was boring and had nothing to contribute, so I tried to start a conversation.  My apologies ><.  I'm getting rusty at interacting with people online too, I guess.

I tried to do the friendship romance and it...was so...Uh I don't know how to describe it. It was just too...sickly fluffy? IDK I tried it and it was like when my pancakes are drowning in honey. But maybe that's because I really like the drama and angst that comes with the rivalmance. That, and like I said, it made sense for my Hawke. 

Hmm, here's a question that is sort of Cullen related. 

Assuming that Cullen is a romancable companion in DA:I, have you thought of what your protaganist is going to be lke when the game comes out? Whether it be personality, apperances, or affiliations? With those in mind, how do you think that Cullen will react, or interact with your character because of those things? 

I feel like I just released an essay question. LOL

Maker, YES! I so agree with this. I also felt that even the love scenes for rivalmances were odd. Sure they had a bit of different dialogue but the final jump-me scenes were the same and it felt odd considering the rivalry. In fact if they keep the rival romance for the next game, a completely different set of dialogue from the friend romance would be nice as well, sometimes it just didin't seem to mesh.

@Dunquixote- No no! I didn't think you sounded disrespectful at all. It's a hot topic after all. If anything I thought that you only sounded curious as to people's opinions.

@LolaLei- I'm...not sure that I want to know what the lyrium thing is about...

It didn't come off as disrespectful at all to me. I took it for what you meant it be.

Avorous: My first ever play-through of any BioWare game is always a protagonist who would make the same choices/replies/interactions that I would, so I always tend to make my first ones look like a more stylised/better/prettier version of myself because I find that if it kinda looks like me then I'm more likely to stick to making the decisions that I would pick if I was in that situation.

So my first ever DA3 protagonist will be me, but a Mage. Usually I pick rogue or warrior first but supposedly class will actually cause a reaction this time round and I'm curious to see how a Mage protagonist would find herself as part of the Inquisition (or whatever it is). Plus, if Cullen is romanceable I wanna see if he'd get into a relationship with a Mage, and what reasoning he would give in doing so. Plus it adds another layer of drama!

I actually would prefer gender to not make a difference ... I want the LI to treat my PC the same whether s/he is a guy or a girl.

That was not the case in DA2, which had gender specific dialogue. ANNOYING!!!

It's a boring answer, but for my first playthrough (and the majority after) I always try to make my protagonist a prettier version of me. I tend to play through as a goody two shoes for the first playthrough, but for Inquisition I will do whatever it takes to nail Cullen in a pretty, lovely, romancy light.

You wouldn't want any special scenes for the male x Cullen romance to make it feel like he was actually dating a real person/your protagonist, rather than a generic response for both genders like *insert generic response to generic protagonist here* sort of thing.
