Well, R2, what also makes him Cullen-y to me is the body language. The hand gesture in particular. That restrained concern.
That's the wording I was looking for!

Agree. he's not freaking, he's not saying, "Hey... it's not my problem... let them eat each other.", he's saying, "hey wait a minute..." That's our guy! I mean... maybe ! Argh.motomotogirl wrote...
I think it's generic warrior armor.
R2, another thing that makes him Cullen in my eyes (I should say, reminds me of Cullen... obviously I have no idea if this guy is or isn't) is his posture and attitude. As someone else pointed out, everyone else is freaking out (except aloof elf guy), but Maybe!Cullen is sort of calmly stepping in to diffuse the situation. How often did he do that in game?
And, agree, I think Cullen's armor is generic warrior armor. In fact, it's kind of similar to some of the GW dude's customization pics...

...BTW, have I said, "YUM!"

I guess his hair line looks a little high up because the whole picture is slightly stretched and because it was shown via a video so it's not of the best quality.

yeah, he is yummy. I would luv the
opportunity to romance a Duncan-esque character. Since the first one
slipped thru my wily hands.
Mmmm.... I hadn't even thought about the Duncanesque implications... Ah, you better be romanceable, steely-eyed Beardy Grey Warden Dude, or I may cry.

Exactly. And even in DAI he's gonna look diff than what he did in DA2/O. Look at Morrigan and Varric.

I can accept the hairline issue as a nod to his age, but yeah. I mean what is this, a screencap of a print from a video that never even properly focuses on it?
Sometimes I think we're nuts

OK expanding the list. What else is quintessentially Cullen? What makes him so hot? LOL
Well, making a check list of Culleny things, this guy has a few.
x Short, curly hair (you know, THAT DA curly hair... there's only one)
blond hair
?? amber eyes
x frowny eyebrows,
x? stubbly goatee
long straight nose
x square jaw
x? dark circles under his eyes
x long, oval face
I mean you can't tell colors, and the shadows make it hard to tell how extensive his stubble might be. But, what else would make this guy "Cullen" to you? Apparently the artists were told to make DA2 Cullen "clean cut" which translated to smokin hot.
Right, seeing these pictures together I can definitely see why people think it's him, and as I said above I'm starting to think that it could be. There's no denying that the maybe!Cullen's expression and stance/body language is VERY in keeping with Cullen's general reaction to most things in DA2, it's that whole "let's try to pacify the situation and not blow things out of proportion" thing that he does.
I wish we had a HD version of this picture to look at.

I think its safe to say that this is Cullen
I know it was my first reaction when I saw the picture.

For another comparison, here's what Cullen hair looks like IRL.

Heck even an NPC like Marethari changed drastically.

Based on the photos above I would say that he has a smilar nose shape, deep eyes and low eyebrows.LolaLei wrote...

Edit: similar brow shape (minus the frown:) Yep, I am in the camp that thinks it's Cullen

Yeah plus think about how much Anders, Merrill, and Isabela changed in terms of appearance when they became characters.
Heck even an NPC like Marethari changed drastically.
I'm interested to see what Cullen's DAI version will look like, because Varric, Morrigan and Cassandra are all easily recognisable even though they look drastically different.

It also kinda looks like that dude is wearing a skirt, or tabard or something.

I still don't want to full on presume that this is definitely Cullen, but it certainly looks like him.

Oh, I'm getting stupid now. Perhaps it's time to take a stroll around the forum. See the sights. Be in awe of the spectacle.
