DG posted up his follow up to that nuts & bolts of quest writing, or whatever it is. He even includes an outline of the exchange between Hawke and the characters involved:

Good ol' Cullen, still a bit of a softie/push over even in hypothetical quests!

Mmmm, now THIS I would want to see.

"Failing that, Cullen will demand the PC leave. Only an Aggressive PC can demand that Cullen take them to see his sister—which, after a tense standoff, Cullen will agree… but only for Bethany’s sake. Otherwise, he will agree to take Bethany a letter (if the PC has it), but the PC will be removed from the Gallows."

Makes me wonder if perhaps he would've been friends with Bethany in DA2 (or possibly crushing on her).

I know some people think he's a heartless killer 'n' stuff, but those kind of actions seen in this hypothetical quest definitely reiterates the fact that DG sees Cullen as a moderate Templar.

Yeah, it definitely feeds into my headcanon about him having a soft spot for Bethany. Defira1985 has a delightful series of stories about CullenxBethany.

But, agree, for a rule follower, he is breaking a rule here. Love it that he seems to be a softie at heart.

(and since there's no Cullen on this page)

If he is a companion/LI or important NPC, I'd like to see him continue along the secret softie route. He kinda reminds me of the tin man from Wizard of Oz, actually. LOL!

Isn't it strange how the lighting in both pictures make him look completely different. In the top one he looks more cartoony and puffy in the face, but in the bottom one he looks more realistic and his features more chiseled... yet it's the same character model, lol.

Yeah. The lightning is dramatically different though. The top is in Darktown, so lit by torches, and the bottom is ostensibly lit by a ray of sunshine penetrating a dark ship hold. Plus my feeble touch up skills so they don't look too dark.

I don't envy the artists and devs having to deal with that! LOL

Agreed. There's some places that the textures become just god awful, and my pretty dark red eyeshadow for my Hawke suddenly becomes clownish and distracting lol Amazing how much good lighting matters in a game

Side Note: oooh! Just found this mod on the Nexus, know some of you other Alistair-mancers might appreciate that it gets rid of the awkward Morrigan/Alistair gettin' busy scene w/ a before and after moment w/ Alistair and your Warden. Going to test it out right now, but thought I'd share for anyone interested ^_^

@ TreeHuggerHannah

I remember a few pages back you asked me about discussing Cullen and his potential case for PTSD.  I don't want to post everything I said earlier because it's very long, but here are the links to the pages.  If you want to talk about any of it feel free! I'm sure you have a lot of great insight to the subject considering your profession, so I'd love discussing it with you.  Sorry it took me some time to get back to you on this, I had to hunt the links down.

http://social.biowar...ex/8201931/2217

The other members of the thread had a lot of really great comments on the subject and I was very impressed by their level of knowledge.  They also had different and interesting opinions so I recommend reading a lot of their comments as well. 

Oh awesome, thanks!

As I mentioned before, I agree with you guys that Cullen has major PTSD going on, so I'll be interested in reading what you all said about it and discussing it further if I have anything to contribute.

I'll check it out after work. :) (Before work I have to go try to track down a copy of Westside Story. One of the kids wants to watch it, so I am hoping to encourage good taste in movies. ^_^)

I was privileged to test on this mod. It's a great addition for those who romanced Alistair.

And lighting does seem to make a big difference... in both games.

4. I think this one is quite possible, especially considering the concept art with the dwarven inquisitor.
.


Which one is this again? I remember one concept art with a dwarven Inquisitor, but she was with an elf wasn't she?


Some people think it is Cullen, far in the distance, waving to the Inquisitor.

Thanks! I'll get digging for it!

EDIT!
Found it! Yeah, I definitely think that's Cullen. The armour is practically a perfect match for that survey art stuff.

And the Lady Cadash in that picture is just adorables!


Hey guys! :wizard:

Could someone post this image for me? Ive tried to find it, but no luck. :( Or tell me where I can find it? :D

As you can tell I'm catching up on my Cullen-y/DAI goodness thread.

Is this from DG's tumblr post? :blink: I couldn't find it. Did he edit his post? Cullen was hardly mentioned in the post I read.
