If I recall, there were plenty of Templar/Mage secret relationships going on in the background of the game. So, it wouldn't be much of stretch to include it if they so chose to.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking them to make Cullen a complete obsessed guy over her even after ten years. But I also don't want him to treat his infatuation for her like it was a mistake - a "whoopsie" and such. Make him talk about her if he's asked. If she was the Warden, make him admire her past deeds in saving Fereldan. And then maybe mention that he . . . knew he, he'd suppose. Inquissie would probably get the idea.


True, but Cullen isn't the type of guy to break the rules like that... at least, he wasn't back then. Who knows what this new threat and lack of circle will do to him and a potential mage class romance with the Inquisitor.

I don't think he regrets his crush on her anymore, by Act 2 he was remembering her fondly even though he was still weird about trusting mages in general. I think he'd grown up enough by then to realise that he hadn't done anything wrong in developing feelings for her, since he didn't act on them.

Beyond that, I don't wanna hear him gushing about anyone else other than my Inquisitor (if he's even romanceable).

I'm internally LOL'ing about most of the bunch of us present saying that we don't want Cullen having smooshy residual feelings for F!Mage!Warden while the rest of the forums think that's EXACTLY what we want. :D

I sort of liked Sebastian's routes a bit more than the others though. It wouldn*t be realistic if they all did this, but I liked that he was either this revenge driven prince or repentant priest.

I'd hope for all of them to be that way, but I know it's unlikely.

I'm hoping they show the protagonist in their default gear today.



Yeah, I have to wonder how they're going to do that. Since your interaction with Seb's character dramatically changed his outlook and his set course in life, and then imports are going to be different... hmm. I'm just curious how they're going to pull that one off in DA:I (if he's even in the game.)

And then some people *cough*meanieweenie*cough* haven't even played Sebastian's content. So maybe he'll end up coming to the same conclusion about princehood/priesthood no matter what. Do you have any theories, Danny?

I honestly believe they were going to conclude his story in the expansion, possibly set in Starkhaven or some other Free Marches city. He would potentially hate Hawke,  but since his city is in peril hr accepts help anyway.

You would have then either rebuilt your friendship/rivalry or continued what you were doing if you killed Anders. Possibly with the chance to betray him again.

I don't think he will show up in Inquisition unless they some how include the cut content.  If he is he might die in the opening or maybe he meets us as the Prince. If he is a brother he may just show up in a random Chantry somewhere lol.

Kaiden did it a little bit too, with that girl from band camp brain camp.

Lol, he wasn't quite so bad fortunately. But even that was a bit ridiculous, he was supposed to be 17 when he'd last seen the girl! :lol:

I managed Kaidan cause Rahna was an integral part of the life changing experience (afaik he killed the dude who broke her hand?) but I could never romance Thane after "sunset colour eyes" convo. I don't want to sound like I am possessive, I am far from that but I find it odd (and kinda off puting) that your romantic interest would talk about someone else. That does not scream I am interested in you :?

As far as Sebastian goes I always thought he returned to Starkhaven after DA2 regardless of his previous intentions. I thought Anders destroying the chantry and killing all those people made Sebastian want to get as much power together as possible either to hunt down Anders or to simply fight the mages rebelling in order to aid the chantry. But that's just how I interpreted it. If he does take back Starkhaven then perhaps it would be possible for us to meet him in the next game when we are looking for support? He's a rich/ powerful prince after all!

If all our companions are influential in our hunt for backup, what do you think Cullen will bring to the table? Of course he has his ties with the templars and was in Kirkwall when it all started. But how high ranking is he among the templars? And as far as being in Kirkwall when the war began we also get Varric for that. Of course Cullen will be able to explain things from the templars point of view.

I could NEVER romance Thane because that relationship trigger looked so damn awkward to me. My hat goes off to everyone who could click it (says the Garrusmancer, who's relationship trigger was basically 'yo, bro, lets do it'.)

I suppose so. Still, at least in in game mention would suffice. Since either way you look at it, she was a part of his life. But, it must just be my headcanon getting in the way (My Amell's story goes that she and him did have a secret relationship. She was his first love, and him hers.) I just kinda wish you could choose what kind of relationship they had. I just think it'd add a bit more of a dynamic in Cullen's growing relationship with Inquisitor.

I know, some people don't like the idea of Cullen and Amell having an old secret relationship. I don't mind the idea. Honestly, I always kinda found his fumbling attempts at speaking with her cute. But, sorry for letting my headcanon get in the way.

But, I hope we do get to see the Warden again. I'd love to see my Amell Warden again. Fully voice acted and interacting with her long lost cousin Hawke, and Inquissie. Just like in my dream :-)


I personally like that you can't decide what their relationship was, seeing there'd be a lot of issues involved in a Templar/Mage secret relationship, and just using it as a toss aside concept in an origin would be pretty disatisfying to me. It feels like something like that needs a proper look at if they do anything with it-- which is doubtful now that the Circles are non-existant. 

...That and I'm totally over the LIs that whinge about past loves. "Tell me about the girlfriend/wife you loved and constantly compare me to!" is never one of my character's turn ons.  :lol:

But the only reason Kaidan brought her up was because she was why he got in trouble with Vyrnnus. He stood up for her and then the fight began.

He didn't bring her up to gush about her like a crazy teen in love, like Cullen did in DA2 ... his little dreamy look he made when talking about her... Dude come on, get over her.

Perish the thought, unless you want to see R2's sad face :o
I wonder if it could be a side quest, helping him to retake the throne (maybe if Hawke persuaded him to give up on princehood Inquisitor could persuade him back :)))

Edit: now when I think about it he could be a useful ally.

If you spare Anders... Sebastian basically rants about how he's going back to Starkhaven so he can gather an army to take revenge on Anders, because, you know, taking a city to war because of the actions of one mage won't kill a lot more innocent people at all. 

The dick.

His fine ass and sculpted body. :innocent:

I'm joking, but that is a good question. I guess the main thing would be that he was part of the reason that mage/templar thing kicked off, partly because it kicked off in Kirkwall and he was the Knight Captain there, but also because he helped Hawke kill Meredith. He also knew/ met both the Warden and Hawke, so if they've disappeared then he could be of use, especially in regards to Hawke.

Aside from that he is/was a high ranking templar with a lot of experience, no doubt he knows a lot about the situation with the templars splitting from the chantry on not only a professional, but personal level too. He's also one of the moderate templars, so he'll want to resolve the situation without going full on "kill all mages".

I dunno if it will be more than what it was in DA2,  a fond memory if you imported a mage origin. Best case imho for those who want it mentioned (I don't mind either way, but I don't want him to always talk about her if he's romanceable. It'd be like the man/woman your dating talking about their ex all the time) is a story about the Circle and how there was one unblemished light that has got him through that time as you do nown or something lol.

I never had a problem with that part of the romance, but I'm married myself (and probably a lot of you guys are too) and I know that if my husband died I'd never be able to forget him either, and that not talking about him to make the new guy in my life feel more secure would feel dishonest to both of them.

My dad and my stepmom met IRL in grief counseling when both of their spouses died within the same month. In their case, their shared experiences of grief over their loved ones brought them together. Posted Image

To be fair, in Act 2 it had only been 2 years since the Blight so it was still fairly early, plus he'd just started to mellow a little after his ordeal and was beginning to realise that he wasn't hardlined like Meredith. If he's still being dreamy about her 10+ years on, then yeah he's got issues! :lol:

Kaidan wasn't that bad, but he was still very you remind me of her, Shepard.

...And lol, what? Cullen was just remembering an old crush fondly. He wasn't overtly dreamy or gushing at all. It was basically the same way I remember my childhood watching the Swat Katz fondly.

Cullen meets the Warden in DA:O regardless of his/her origin, so I bet they could easily acknowledge his knowing the Warden (even Amell or Surana Warden) but show that he's way over her and still be consistent with the other playthroughs by just having a simple "Ah yes, I knew the Warden. Ferelden was blessed by the Maker the day he/she began his/her campaign against the Archedmon. I was proud to have known him/her" or whatever.

Loyal templars maybe? Similar to Vivienne's loyal mages? Or maybe he is an early companion with no real ties except to you like the Dog for the Human Noble or the siblings for Hawke?

Cullen might bring knowledge/experience to the table rather than a whole army or something. :lol:

I could potentially see the Lambert loyal Templars turning to Cullen's side, though, if enough know him from Kirkwall or something. What he did there was pretty damn badarse, and all those Templar's obviously agreed with him to turn on Meredith as well. 

(And this is all speculation on my part/random idea throwing, of course. )

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not asking them to make Cullen a complete obsessed guy over her even after ten years. But I also don't want him to treat his infatuation for her like it was a mistake - a "whoopsie" and such. Make him talk about her if he's asked. If she was the Warden, make him admire her past deeds in saving Fereldan. And then maybe mention that he . . . knew he, he'd suppose. Inquissie would probably get the idea.


True, but Cullen isn't the type of guy to break the rules like that... at least, he wasn't back then. Who knows what this new threat and lack of circle will do to him and a potential mage class romance with the Inquisitor.

I don't think he regrets his crush on her anymore, by Act 2 he was remembering her fondly even though he was still weird about trusting mages in general. I think he'd grown up enough by then to realise that he hadn't done anything wrong in developing feelings for her, since he didn't act on them.

Beyond that, I don't wanna hear him gushing about anyone else other than my Inquisitor (if he's even romanceable).


I dunno if it will be more than what it was in DA2,  a fond memory if you imported a mage origin. Best case imho for those who want it mentioned (I don't mind either way, but I don't want him to always talk about her if he's romanceable. It'd be like the man/woman your dating talking about their ex all the time) is a story about the Circle and how there was one unblemished light that has got him through that time as you do now or something lol.


He better not bloody say that! :lol:


Lol well I mean in a non-romantic way. Like, an ex or friend you've fallen out of touch with who helped you deal with a traumatic experience so you remember them fondly.

Sort of like how Anders talks about Karl.

Edit: Well brush put it in his "voice" better lol

Is it bad that I kinda want Lambert to still be alive? He sounded like the kind of antagonist worthy of really hating, but also being very human in his beliefs... kinda like the illusive man from Mass Effect.

I could NEVER romance Thane because that relationship trigger looked so damn awkward to me. My hat goes off to everyone who could click it (says the Garrusmancer, who's relationship trigger was basically 'yo, bro, lets do it'.)

I never had a problem with that part of the romance, but I'm married myself (and probably a lot of you guys are too) and I know that if my husband died I'd never be able to forget him either, and that not talking about him to make the new guy in my life feel more secure would feel dishonest to both of them.

My dad and my stepmom met IRL in grief counseling when both of their spouses died within the same month. In their case, their shared experiences of grief over their loved ones brought them together. Posted Image

Ha, this shows the power of different experiences :happy: For me his reminiscing of his wife so vividly was so beautiful and sad that I could never choose the I want you option (I know it actually sounds good in the context:).

Anders was Karl's ex lover in my playthrough, so that doesn't work for my game! :lol:
