LMAO, Nikki!

So here is the character synopsis part of Cullen. I don't think I missed anything? 
So grateful for the shiny new spoiler tags.

 
 
Batteries, I think it's great. Thanks for being so thorough and taking the time to write it and seek input!

If you're still looking for feedback, there a couple of places that I think it sounds a little adversarial. "Sorry, but you are not going to win this. " "*Okay, fine, he’s in DAII...""I do not believe this needs much more explanation." If you really want someone Cullen-curious to read it, I don't think you want to put them on the defensive.
 
Also, I don't think I'd put the creepy thing in there at all. It doesn't really add extra information and just perpetuates the misinformation. Unless you want to address head on the creepy comments made by DG, but then it needs a lot more information and citations. 

On the rapes... I don't know that this is directly addressed in the Thedas UK interview that you cite. Unless there's another link where DG actually says "nein," I would address this more directly, like, "DG says he's a good guy, which doesn't seem consistent with raping people."

Tiny quibble on the Bethany part. “hope they are not true.” I'd either take hope out of the quote, and say "hopes" or write it inside the quote as hope[s]. The improper tense drives me crazy.

 
On the Right of Annulment, I'd go ahead and say that he even goes so far as to question directly  the use of the Right, comparing it to Kinloch Hold.
 
On why he stands up to Meredith, you might even include his quote about how what she's doing "is not what the Order stands for." He doesn't say "don't kill Hawke because it's wrong," or whatever some people try to say, he says he thinks Meredith's gone so far that she's breaking the Order's tenets. He says something similar in ambient dialogue earlier, how he's not sure if he's following Meredith or the Order anymore and how they may no longer be one and the same.

I don't know about you guys, but I think our party is lookin pretty damn good so far. I mean look at these babes

 

    This is too Fantabulous for one's eyes!

[CuriousArtemis]

OMG, nikki, you win all the internets today!!! (edit: I love how bald elf dude is the only one as-is)

[littlenikki]

Haha, I ran out of Zoolander characters, but it worked out quite well!

[CuriousArtemis]

I can't believe how hard it is trying to get through the fight to the Gallows without a healer!

 

You just gotta bring a lot of health potions Or even better, those potions that increase health as well as stamina. And you gotta spec everyone right, too. I'm doing a playthrough right now that's just Hawke and Fenris, and on Hard. Hawke is a rogue. I specced Fenris as a tank. Um, tis hard. I cheat from time to time and put it on normal. Like fighting the Arishok... I don't know if I can handle fighting him on Hard. Like it make my carpal tunnel flare up, mashing buttons for half an hour straight.

I'm still reading through it, but another way to argue this point is the same argument for the epilogue slides. It's rumour and heresy, and if you've ever played Chinese Whispers then you know how quickly that can escalate! Besides, I wouldn't call a couple of gossiping mages a fantastic source of information.   

TO be honest, though, I actually think that's what's supposed to have happened. They were already developing DA2 when they made Witch Hunt, and refer to the what's happening in Kirkwall. I think the Greenfell comment is supposed to explain why he was OK when he shows up in Kirkwall. So, I wouldn't just dismiss it out of hand like that.

Cause he already looks fabulous

I think calling people silly and then saying you're not judging is, um, well, it doesn't quite link up 

 

Of course people are stressed out; I'm stressed out as well as excited because I'm a raging Dragon Age fanatic; I can't help myself 

 

I was saying worry is silly, not people, and if I were making public judgements, I would be clear that I'm not talking about you-giving an opinion(As you've done with Mr. Elven gent) is one thing, and what boards like this thrive on.

I would be talking about the really aggressive and angry sounding people who're over there frothing and being scarily threatening and mean.

 

(I'm aware, as well, that saying "Don't worry" is ridiculous and impossible, but it's still something I tell myself pretty much daily, about most things. )

[R2s Muse]

No need, we'll just ask littlenikki.

My money's on Keith, by the way.

 

LOL that took me a shameful amount of time to figure out

OK... it seems I'm a dumb ass today. I still haven't figured it out!!   Wut??

 

(edit: LOL I can say dumb ass, but I can't remove the space between the words: ******    )

Did somebody finally track this down? My recollection is that he confirmed he is writing two followers, and two romances. One follower is Cassandra, one follower is the re-write. He also acknowledged that he's writing Morrigan again.

 

I don't remember where the post is either, but didn't he also state that he was writing a character that he'd wanted to write since he started working for BioWare? So, he's written Cassandra, re-written another, and written a 3rd that he's always wanted to write. Or at least that's what I took away from that post.

Ah, good point. That could be a third... I don't recall the third necessarily being a follower, tho, was it? Rats. I'm sure we have the quotes somewhere in the thread. I'm just too lazy to track them down today.

derp. Yeah... sounds like I need more coffee... Or just to go back to bed.      ahem, thanks. 

[R2s Muse]

Er, look, a Cullen!

 

Heh heh, that's one of mine. 

[littlenikki]

lol it's ok, for a second I thought I might be some all-knowing being that comes and tells you guys Bioware secrets in my sleep

Agreed. Again, this is purely speculation, but it's possible that Greagoir let people think Cullen had been sent off to recover in Greenfell so that it wouldn't upset the mages if they'd known that he'd been sent off to Kirkwall to watch over the ones situated in the Gallows.

Hey guys, it's probably about time for us to stop stirring this hornet's nest about folks' responses to Bald Elf. There are lots of reactions, good and bad. Let's just move along to the positivity, eh? 

 

Here, have some bad ... ahem... (sorry, it's gonna take me a while to stop chortling at this...  )

 

[R2s Muse]

LOL I thought it might have had something to do with the name Keith...? I was trying to find some kind of Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Darling Nikki, but really Keith Richards, kind of convolution... Ahem. yeah, back to bed for R2! LOL

[R2s Muse]

Yeah. One thought for the FAQ is that a lot of people don't know about the Greenfell comment. So that would be an opportunity to include a link to the video and let folks decide for themselves. That's why I had it in my version.

I love the name Rhys (And not just for its lack of vowels. *grin*)

[CuriousArtemis]

I like the name Rhys, too. Btw, how do you guys pronounce it? I rhyme it with Bliss. I bet it's "Reese" though...

[Potato Cat]

Ahem. I see what you did there...

Yeah and I laugh when real people have that name too. It's not my fault I'm a horrible person.
