I hope he isn't nobility. I like the idea of him coming from nothing/orphaned. I guess if he really does have a Surname then his family probably weren't poor or common... still, they could be dead or complete bastards, LOL.

I want him to be common, too. I don't know why.

Maybe leaving the Order is reason for him to "invent" a surname. So like R2 (perhaps jokingly lol) suggested, he might go with something like "Farmer" or "Wainwright."

Seriously, what do you guys think the chances are that we'll be able to import. I'm bored and thinking about resuming DA:O run that was going to be my canon (making all the right decisions this time instead of bungling through the game), but with the Keep coming out... it just seems pointless.

It also seems unlikely that I'll be able to afford and xbox one in a year. So I'll probably be playing the game on the 360.

I'm really hoping we can import. A while back I mentioned that my canon playthrough had a mod that allowed my male rogue noble to romance (and rule alongside) Alistair. That specific flag imported without incident into Awakening since Alistair acknowledged me in his scene at the beginning of the game (calling me a 'minx' was hilarious needless to say!)

Thing is, there have so many mods created for the game I think it would be a disservice not to take them into consideration. That or have the Keep be very generous with the setups we're given to create our version of Thedas.

I think we'll be able to import, but when it comes to cross-platforms that is where the Keep comes in. And perhaps the Keep is there to ensure all the flags will be accounted for. *cough*ZevranRomance*cough*

I know that the party line from the devs is "only upper class folk get last names" but in practice, their application of this rule hasn't been that... uniform.  Also, I thought they  did acknowledge that other folk may get a name like their occupation (like Farmer, Wainwright, Miller, Smith), so I guess I'm not worried that a last name tells us much of anything about Cullen's lineage yet.

Like you guys, I'd also rather he be common, probably since I headcanon his acceptance into the officer's ranks of the templars as a social step up for him. So he's the kind of guy who sends money home to family farm, that sort of thing. But then, you guys have all heard me wax long-winded eloquent about that before.

And, since illustrations are often important to prove one's point (and how VERY serious I was. <_

Honestly, I think I'd just wait for the Keep. The imports are fundamentally flawed, and in unknowable ways, so IMO you might as well spend your time on constructing the exactly perfect import with the Keep. The fact that they said that with the Keep you would be able to see the ripple effects of your decisions on the World State makes me excited. For me, seeing the cause and effect of each choice in real time would be much  better than slogging it out in-game for a flawed save game with an uncertain impact on the World State.  (she says, sounding much more blunt than she intended)

I don't necessarily think that only noble ppl can have last names, for example in origins our elf protagonists and all the other races that weren't of noble class had last names. That said I know I may be the only person here who would like Cullen IF he were to come from a noble family as well, even tho that kind of stuff has been done to death I know, but either way weather he is of a noble blood or not I still want him

that old design for Fenris looks quite similar to the one for the chill elf in DAI (without the tattoos ofc)

Here's something I've been pondering. If Cullen does leave the order, do you think he would give himself a different name to go by and maybe later explain this to the main protag?

You mean change his name from Cullen to like, Jim Bob?  Nah I can't see that happening. Why would he change his name? It's his name.

To hide his identity...maybe the order will be all but pleased with him.  Or maybe he'll just be Cullen. Not Knight Capt.

I do headcanon that this is why we learn his lastname, because he no longer has a title. "It's Farmer... Cullen Farmer."

Hey guys just stoppin' by to say hello. Internet is down except for my phone so meh.

Anyway loved your new fanfic R2. Congratz Elfman on the job.

I agree ag99 it's a lot like chill. I imagine the leftover is what we may have gotten if he is a companion. Also I might have seen the image and though of you moto....and this exact reaction

I wonder if we'll ever get the hardcore mattrhodes looking companion...I might ask on tumblr since he's answered me before . When Merrill was evillllllll he had a similar look on her and had to revise when someone else took over her writing.

[Potato Cat]

Oh no it's not a job, I'm going there as a student, (provided I get the grades). Sorry, fell asleep after parading round the house like a headless chicken in celebration so I couldn't answer MMG's question. I'm just so excited. I've wanted to go to Durham since Year 7 or something ridiculous.

And I have to say I like the 'ugly' Fenris redesign. He could use some hair of course, but it's very hard to pull off bald in the first place. I don't like it when I keep seeing elves with bald and shaved heads in concept art. They've already taken our precious shoes and who knows what we're going to look like in DAI, just let us have the sexy hair we deserve!!!

Yes, yes, it's almost as if my love for adorable elf boys is a known thing :innocent: Hmmmm. 

Well if they're going to have ugly male characters, at least don't make them LIs. And when I say "ugly" I don't mean grizzled or battle-hardened or not traditionally handsome or anything like that. I mean, genuinely unattractive. I'm not finding that bald... thing... attractive xD And I don't personally find Fenris attractive, BUT he is cute, if you know what I mean. I get squees and mad feels when I romance him.

The elves are cute without their shoes. I kind of liked that. It also emphasized their state of poverty. I read a YA book (not a particularly great one, but still) where the poor were referred to as "the shoeless." Seems fairly apt.

[CuriousArtemis]

Random thought... I hope some of the artists on the team are women or gay men. I'm getting anxious that DA:I will be full of beautiful women and unattractive men. MR does like to draw his scantily dressed extremely bendy women and his macho kind of unattractive men.

I'm putting all my hopes to the Keep as well. All those plot flags that were messed up by the time of DA2. I hope they get fixed, but also I'm hoping they add new ones!!! 

I want one of my world states to have a Hero of Ferelden who lives, didn't become the Ferelden Warden Commander in Amarinthine (There was an Orleisan Commander instead), but found Morrigan in Witch Hunt. This is not possible by playing the game. 

Edit: I changed my Avatar.

 @<removed name>: no no no I wasn't emotionally prepared for the Fade I was just going to waltz past it and make fun of Cullen it was going to be perfect

@BioMaryKirby: @<removed name> You have to be in approximately the same emotional and mental condition as Cullen before you get there. It's a rule.

The editors will get us a version to look at over the next few weeks. We filmed 5 so the release will be spread out.

I hope you won't be too busy to hang out at PAX/GDC this year!

I believe I will be at East, and I’m trying to keep myself more open, so: YES.

Finally! The game is over. (I didn't buy the pack for $. I don't have green heroes). All for free.

Aww, I think it's a really swanky design. Mr. Rhodes did a really good job. I don't see it as Fenris necessarily, because I'm used to the one in game, but I think that design would make a really coolio elf and would've worked well.  

And about to show the difference in preferences here, but I don't mind shaved heads. I don't mind masculine, either. 

Edit: actually, the more I look at it, the more I love that design. I'd be all for some more beefy/masculine/badarse looking elves.

Ah, thanks, Danny! And, also congrats to Elfman on getting into Durham. Keep on celebratin'!

Admittedly, I kind of like the design, too, and expected MMG to HAAATE it. The tattoos are little too evil and dragony for me, but I wonder if that's the "more Tevinter inspired" part Matt mentioned.  I'll admit that, for myself, although Fenris was my favorite romance in DA2, the one thing that didn't appeal to me was his slenderness (and slouch). I couldn't help but think that I would break him. So I like seeing him stand broad and tall. That being said, tho, I like what we got better than the "official" concept art of him.
