Whoever he is, I think he is good looking. It's still concept art tho. so, next hurdle would be in game version.

and i still wanna know if Cullen is a companion. also do you think leli is really gonna be a companion? or just in game?


Unlikely, Mike Laidlaw said in the past that they didn't want to do stuff like that with past romanceable companions because it could compromise the players canon.

the "maybe Cullen" has a similar armor of the GW but the facial features looks nothing like the GW we have been shown at pax east or survey leak


It's so hard to tell exactly how much that guy actually looks like Cullen. I mean, the shadows in the pictures could be making it seem like he has Cullen's facial hair, the expression his face is very "Culleny" but that could just be a coincidence. The hairstyle, although similar isn't quite right, because this dude's hair is receeding... unless they've decided to let the stress take it's toll of the poor guys golden locks. 

I dunno, I just feel like if that was Cullen then I'd just know instantly, like I did with the survey leak picture of him.


Well for the shadows  if that was the case Cassandra should have facial hair too lol , but idk for some reason my gut is telling me that, that maybe Cullen  I mean you cant get any closer then that with his face, alltho others might think his face is genereic i personally dont think so but thats just me , also when it was tweeted to ML  is thats Cullen or not  ML could have just said no its not end of story so idk that kinda gives me some hope

I dunno that this tells us much, tho, since he says "time will tell" to virtually all inquiries. They also  made a point of saying that all the concept art is just that, concept art, as they prep for the game. So it doesn't mean it's a scene that made it into the game. Maybe the artist was playing around with a scene and just to have people in it, took folks from that first marketing survey just to have faces.


Idk the only reason  im kind of  "confident" about him MAYBE being a companion is simply becasue of the survey  and even if that IS just concept art  why would they go theough the trouble of adding  the rest of the ppl from the survey if that wasnt true also in the video from GI at the end I believe Mark also says "pay attention to the things we are showing you" so i guess thats concept art included?
Hell idk what to think anymore I guess bottom line is that we will jkust have to wait till near release date and find out , or if we are lucky GI will reveal more though I kinda doubt it

But there's nothing saying that Cullen could not have shaved his mustache. and grew his hair out..into a slight ponytail.

It's been a few years.


But they like to keep characters "unique" appearance. At a base level they always keep the core design of what makes a character or past companion recognisable. So to change his hairstyle and/or facial hair completely would be counter productive from an "iconic appearance" stand point. Plus, if they really feel that he's as generic as others claim then they'll want to keep him looking as recognisable as possible.

yeah, those are definitely shadows on maybe!Cullen's face. When you zoom in, he has half a "mustache".

The chin area is hard to see, tho. But he has no mustache.


LMAO now that i zoomed in Cass looks like she kinda has a Hitler mustache

I dunno what you peeps are talking about. Maybe!Cullen's hair is short and curly... not pulled back at all. And receding.... let's just pretend it's not his fault they didn't make him age in the seven years he was in DA2 lol

I concede that the facial hair (chin and cheek) could be just shadows; impossible to tell.

lol... we only see one half of his face though, as far as the beard is concerned. 

The area between the lips and the nose is obviously shadow, yeah.

But I think that is definitely a beard, as it is more "rough" in appearance than the straight edge of the shadow.

My eye hurt from peering up close at the screen lol

Either way, it doesn't really matter whether it's him or not. We know he's in the game in some capacity anyway. And if that isn't Cullen, then I wonder who he's supposed to be?

Agree. Looking through fanart of Cullen,  you know there are just those very few things he has to have. That tight curly maybe-strawberry blond hair, that shadowy, stubbly goatee, and those stern looking eyebrows over amber eyes. LOL  Of course, throw in a sword of mercy, and it's obvious. But I hope they keep the others.

Precisely. I mean, if you look at the fanart each intepretation of Cullen is different, but they ALL include his trademark features:

A full head of tight blondish/redish cropped hair
His stubbly goatee
The dark circles around his eyes
The stern/worried eyebrows over amber eyes
A strong jawline
And a furrowed brow. 

So whatever they come up with in-game I'd hope that his core trademark features would remain in tact.

Will do; I don't feel like doing much for the next few hours; gonna go out and get some sushi and maybe eat dinner over these videos lol 

So far it's fun to watch because Jessica is pretty cute and funny, plus (big surprise) she's a great speaker. It is frustrating with DG though because he mumbles and doesn't sit close enough to the mic, and my laptop doesn't have the best speakers.

Well, if that's the case, then I don't think it's Cullen. Which makes me very sad. I was really hoping Cullen might be a companion. Not just in game. But it's not over yet. So, there's still hope.

I do think the concept art, tho only concept art, is still significant at this juncture. And considering how it was released.

So, how many companions are we at now? there's Viv; Varric;Cass; Chill Dude; Beardy Grey Warden--or not Dude; Scribe Girl; 6 so far?

The slots are getting short...maybe Iron Bull and Cullen? That would make 8? :crying:

I have sh!t lots on my head now so I am still trying to catch up with the crazy amount of info (!!!) released last week and and your vid is a blessing. Leaving venturing to GI website for later. Just wanted to say that I really dig your editing skills and you are such a pro.

I can't believe I have missed all the excitement but never fear I was totally screaming loud when I was reading all the posts with little tidbits and wild speculation. Cullen in the DAI confirmed!! yayayayay And playable races. Though I still need to catch up with this thread #waitformedamnit

Maybe Varric will come up w/nicknames for almost everybody again. I hope Varric is not too changed. Like Anders changed. He has such a great spirit abt him. I'd hate to see that go dark.

Idk why, but I think she is. :lol: They said sumthing like everytime she opened her mouth they wanted to slap her? Hahaha. Priceless!

She's very pro-Circle and had a cush job waiting for her before everything went to hell. The system was working for her. Power, influence, status. Orlesian status at that. Prolly accustomed to ppl kissing her butt to a degree.

Idk how far that status translates from mage to outside spheres of influence, tho? Idk how the Orlesians view/treat their mages.
