Oooo complicated!
I dunno if Cullen had a crush on anyone else prior to the Mage Warden, I dare say he did but I don't think it was anything as serious as the feelings he had for our character. Kinda like in real life, you can fancy a lot of people but only one or two of them will have that certain something that really holds your interest to the point of love or obsession. Cullen was supposed to be quite young in DA:O and his reaction to your Warden is so naive and inexperienced that it was probably his first time feeling such intense feelings for someone.
As for whether or not he fancied both Amell and Surana, I think it all boils down to which one you choose to play as. I think it's supposed to make you feel special, like it's down to your sparkling personality or the personality you've choosen to role play which is why you're the object of his affections and not the other potential origins character. We're what makes our character "special" if that makes sense?
Does anyone know if he mentions Amell even if you didn't play as her? Because in theory he would've still fancied her or Surana even if you didn't play as one of them lol.
Nope. If the Warden wasn't Amell, he doesn't mention her. I never got that line til I had to create an Amell import specially.
So, I think I agree with Lola here, that altho those other potential Wardens exist, they only exist as THE Warden in their own particular pocket universe where you the player have chosen that origin. So, I think if you are a female Amell, then the only (current) crush Cullen has is on her, not simultaneously on Surana.
Previous crushes, hmmm.. I wonder. The Amell/Surana crush seems to be a pretty big deal for him, given all the taboos and rules against it. I would have to agree with the guess that this particular crush is bigger than any he's probably experienced. The way everyone talks about it, it doesn't seem like he's the kind to be falling in love every other day. So I think it's less likely that he had another crush at the tower, tho, like a Chantry sister or another templar or something. What I could see is that, if he actually had a home prior to joining the templars, he could have had a little highschool sweetheart or the like.
Perhaps needless to say, I'm partial to the notion of loving multiple people in different ways, so I think it could be possible that he's had past crushes but prob not at the tower.
