Then there's Leliana and Morrigan as possibly major NPCs. (But not disagreeing that equal representation wouldn't be ideal.) (But am also thinking the more hot men the better, because I'm wretchedly shallow.)

I want equal representation as well...

but also the latter part of your sentence is SO true. 

I completely agree with both of you! I just was wondering how likely it would be to get both Cole and Cullen when we only have 3 female companions.

R2! Your avatar changed! *Confused*

LOL Sorry!  I meant to say something about switching to my thread mom avatar... but then it felt... egotistical.

(and I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep it. Not sure I like how it looks so small)

Don't change it!! I was just thinking how much the new avatar suits you  And reminds me of the whole picture LOL

 *happy sigh* Can you imagine Cullen's change?

[CuriousArtemis]

He's going to be gorgeous. I don't just mean "attractive"... even just that concept art of "maybe!Cullen" tells me he's going to have aged handsomely, and the graphics are so top notch and the attention to detail and reality so amazing that he's going to seem like a real, living breathing person. Can't wait!!!

And I agree, Cassandra does look amazing. Only in the cut scenes did I feel they could use some touching up (pre-alpha, I know...!!!)

You mean in like the second image I posted or the somewhat derpyCassandra one from the Fires Above trailer? I say derpy because I love DA2/The Above Cassandra lol

Also...is it weird that I consider Cassandra a Dragon Age Inquisition character...but Varric a Dragon Age II character?

probably cause Varric wasa full companion in DA2 and Cass wasnt

It's scary how much Varric and Cass look like their DA2 counterparts, but at the same time look different. Varric's hair is darker, so I'm expecting Cullen's hair to be closer to his DA:O counterparts colour.

Both in the Fires Above trailer (which is basically a giant cut scene) as well as the trailer cut scene where Varric mourns the dead and Casandra places her hand on his shoulder. They look very awkward there. Their facial features don't move well enough yet... obviously something that's stll being worked on.

I'm the same way. Cass is a DAI companion. Varric is from DA2... to me he doesn't belong here  But he's the most popular thing that came out of DA2, so I'm not surprised they dropped him in it. Who knows? He might've always been planned to be in it, before they decided to do DA2 instead of move directly to DAI.

idk if you guys saw this but this tweet pleased me

@Mike_Laidlaw Loving the game, but I do have to ask, how extensive will the Keep be in making a back story for Inquisition?



Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 3h

@user Quite a lot of options.

So I'm freaking out! I've decided the DA:O mods I've installed aren't worth how they've mucked up my game install. So I decided to do a clean install. As my main campaign installs... I realize I have no idea how I bought Awakenings... or where I can download it, since I don't seem to have a disk. *gulp* I'm such a ****** for not thinking of this, particularly since it's Awakenings that I'm currently playing! eek!

edit: As I type this... I finally found it inside Origins, formerly-EA store... Now I have to grumble about electronic downloads, no hardcopy, kids on my lawn...

I don't think they dropped him in per-say. I think they have him there for a good reason. He seemed to fit in fairly well to me.  But I can understand everyone's wariness. He is a very popular character, and everyone wants more of him.

Though, I will say it was very interesting to hear him fairly angry in the gameplay. Varric's almost never angry!

"Come on, Seeker. Don't you want to see our handywork?"

Gosh, no kidding. Particularly since he was still so soft spoken about it. *gulp* I think... yeah, gonna save that village.

Yeah, me too. I don't want to wreak Bianca's wrath.  

[VampOrchid]

ok from left to right here who do we think is in this pic? I don't know if this was discussed already but yeah...

Cass
Uhm I don't know
Cullen
Inquy
Elf guy...does he have a name yet? Whatevez I dub thee Orlando Bloom
Viv
Leliana
Varric

so that's...7 out of 9 companions. But I really don't think Leliana will be one...that and I don't fussy her that much

[VampOrchid]

think the guy with the gauntlet/sword is the GW companion

[VampOrchid]

What's with this freaky SteamPunk looking sword?

[VampOrchid]

to me this still looks like buddy is dropping his sword all

"hey hey, calm down. Looking dropping my weapon. Now I'm gonna come closer...just calm down."

Hmm, in the last concept art it seems to have been excavated. But for what reason? And the Inquisitor - if that is him - seems awfully pleased to have it. *~*~speculation~*~*

Modifié par PhantomGinger, 03 septembre 2013 - 12:30 .

[VampOrchid]

Yeah exactly. Maybe you can excavate it or have it presented to you. Excavate cause you be all bad ass...or given as a gift for lets say maybe saving a village or some jazz

Hello Cullen thread! I have been lurking for a while and decided to resurface to throw in my two cents about whether or not Cullen would be a companion. Also it is long again sorry… go make some popcorn or something. : D

I truly do think he will be a major character and potentially in this companion role for quite a few reasons. Things like the leak, Greg Ellis and the hastily gotten rid of tweet, big fan base (ect, ect see other thread members for more). Now my major reason might be weird but hear me out. Having Cullen as a character would be brilliant marketing/good business practice. If you are creating a product you typically want that product to reflect or include an aspect of something your consumer desires. While I personally believe that video games are more than just merchandise (they truly are an art form) they are made to be bought and sold. Bioware (as much as they like teasing their fans) really do value us for reasons like sales (probably more EA than bioware here lol) and even value how much we love these amazing games they create. Now as I understand it, Cullen has a monumentally sized fan base. Not including a character that many people desperately want is bad business practice, pure and simple and at the end of the day Bioware and EA are still companies that have to look at the bottom line. Now the issue with this concept is that diehard fans aren’t going to chose whether or not to purchase the game because one character isn’t an LI/Companion. Especially if you consider the fact that if they are this obsessed with a character then obviously they are serious fans lol. However, Bioware has been trying to keep people excited about DAI and they can’t release all of their best information at once and do that. Many people also hated Dragon age two (I really liked it but that doesn’t really pertain to this monolog lol) and even though bioware talks about how proud they were of it (and in many, many ways they should be), I’d bet money that their sales people are really going to be saying to them “You have to include features that keep your core base happy and also bring in new consumers” So there are fans (like a plethora of fans) that really want Cullen and even if that group doesn’t get him they would still buy the game. However, if the game doesn’t hold up to snuff they could accidentally alienate a huge group of people who otherwise would have been more willing to let flaws slide. Now I know that is depressing but that is usually how people look at things. If you are given something you were really hoping for your more inclined to be accepting of outlying issues.

My other line of reasoning in the not alienating fans category is this. People have asked very frequently if he would be a companion and all bioware folks say is “Time will tell” sort of things. What possible good would it do them to lead this enormous group of fans on and then pull the rug out from under them? Why not just say “No sorry, we didn’t think he was a good fit for the story” instead of antagonize this clearly loyal faction? They already explained with mistress mama Morgan that she wouldn’t be a companion but would play a clear role. So why not with Cullen? Now you might say “Because he wasn’t included in the article” but you know Bioware has the exact same information regarding the leaks and tweets about Cullen that we do and from looking at the information he really seems like he would be a companion.
But on the other hand releasing information about Cullen right now could potentially be bad business practice because of the fans that get on BSN to just complain about things (including but not limited to Cullen)They might not buy the game if they hear about different things they don’t like because their still in court about whether or not they will get the game. So releasing information about cool features and what the game will actually be right now will rope them into the point where it won’t matter if a companion is someone they don’t really like, they will still purchase it. Also they may want to release who the companions will be in close succession. While it would be so awesome if they did just say “Yeah he is”, or “No he isn’t” it might not be scaled for whatever their marketing plan is. Now potentially I am over analyzing the bananas out of this but I stand by it! Lol

OR! OR! Cullen is the major villain behind the red templars!!! You heard it here first! mwhahahahahaha

See and the thing that gets me is this. He's either really love or really hated and then there are the people on the middle grounds. For a character to strike a cord in someone is good writing, regardless of the feelings towards him. Good writing equals good potential for use for that character later on.

As for for releasing info on the companions in succession. I'm sure that's what they'll do. It's what they've done in the past and it's always seem to work. I remember the Anders hate threads that came out as soon as he was announced. And the swoon ones as well. So I can certainly see them releasing Cullen info towards the end.

btw Welcome to the thread!

Anyone know if they are still doing this game for xbox 360??
