Darn, R2's gone to bed. Has anyone written post-DA2, Inquisition-period Cullen? I was so nervous about making ridiculous suppositions, and showing that I'm definitely not a lore nerd, that I actually made my fic super AU and was like calling Orlais "Orlea" and the Divine "Her Majesty" and stuff lol But I wonder if it would be okay to just call it like it is, and stop being so nervous.

 

I know it's impossible to know what and who Cullen will be in the game. I just feel nervous about definitively placing him ANYWHERE.

 

Also I'm afraid I made glaring lore mistakes.

Agree with Lorien, I wouldn't worry about it so much.

 

First, everyone will know it's speculation if it's written after DA2, so really, so long as it's plausible, anything goes. You could just make a point of saying you wrote it before the game came out so when folks read it in the future, they know. FWIW, almost everything I've ever written is post-DA2, and I've never once been told I was 'wrong.' Besides, just because you didn't predict everything about the new game, doesn't mean it isn't still a great story.

 

Second, I wouldn't worry so much about the lore in general. Like Lorien said, no one gets it perfect. Plus, there's no way you could be 100% lore compliant since most RL stuff is never explained in game. I have to make sh!it up all the time, like how healing really works, what magic looks like, what powers a Seeker might have. My opinion is that if you sell it right for your story, then it's right for your story. Yeah, you could run into the odd purist who could take you to task for saying 'hell' instead of 'void,' but eh, who cares. I mean, the characters shouldn't technically be speaking English, anyway, right? [edit: and, I don't mean to belittle your concern; I agonized over including pockets! but, hey, I figure, it's my story.  ]

 

Third, you can see the proper addresses for the Divine and the other clergy in the DA wiki codex on " Chantry Hierarchy." So that's not one you have to make up. 

 

So, I'd say, go hog wild and talk about Orlais! W000t!!

Mike Laidlaw and users:

I think I'm most looking forward to mounts in #DAI. Not CC or story. Horses... I think I'm gonna name mine Bilbo. Don'tJudge.

Call the horse whatever you like. It's yours, after all.

<respectfully snipped>

As always, thanks for keeping us in the loop, Wiedz! You rock!

 

And, of course, MLaw proves again what an awesome classy guy he is. He never makes you feel like a dumb ass for asking questions, you know?

Dude. Lore. I have a post Kirkwall Anders-centric kinda thing, and now that I've read Asunder, I feel like I can't finish it without reworking some major lore issues. Boooo. So, I haven't even ventured a guess as to Post DA2 Cullen, dear gods, for the same reasons you feel nervous. We just don't *know*, ya know? *grin*

I feel ya. I have one I started before Asunder came out and had to retool a little (since I wasn't that far in yet). I'm worried I won't finish now before DA3 comes out... but I'm determined not to care. I still think it's an interesting story. (*sob* Darnit, it's interesting and people will like it! )

pondering going on media blackout for #DAI but I know u also like letting players explore. Will I be safe for future trailers?
 
Mike Laidlaw

We will try to keep spoilers to a minimum, but if you want to go in totally pristine, might need the blackout.

Honestly,there's no need to feel nervous,It's your fanfiction!You can make whatever suppositions you like!And trust me some minor lore mistakes shouldn't bother you even professionals make them occasionally as for terminology on how to address the divine,you can borrow some real life examples(like the tittle someone would use to address the pope,for example),besides as you said we don't know what role Cullen will play in Inquisition,some speculation now and then,is to be expected until the game is released!

Thanks for your comments, guys  Honestly, the only ones who will ever read this are probably you guys (if I'm so lucky ) so I'm not too worried about what some random hateful reader has to say. I just don't want to embarrass myself in front of you guys lol I feel like everyone here is more knowledgeable than I am about the series. Also, I did read Asunder, but to be honest, I forgot what happened... the only part that stands out in my mind is the part where they go to rescue Wynne's Tranquil friend. I guess I should read the Wiki synopsis!

 

Need to just relax -- it's just a ballroom scene! 

[VampOrchid]

So other then companions, who are you excited to see or hoping to see come back as NPCs.

 

My hope list

 

-Dagna for sure

-Bohdan and Sandal

-Flemeth

-Morrigan

-Sebastian

Well Cullen if he's not a Companion of course. I think it would be neet to

[LolaLei]

It must be. I thought it was only me

[Shyviolet]

Oh definitely Dagna!

 

and.... Stroud, Sten, Lily&Jowan, Connor, Feynriel, Shianni.  Probably more!

 

Would be great if they all just showed up to party at the ball.

Mmmm, Stroud... ahem, oh don't mind me! 

[LolaLei]

Damn, that's annoying! I wanted to tweet about how I got locked in at work and had to break out, like a badass!

Ooh yes to Lily and Shianni. I've wanted to go to Aeonar since the first time I played the Magi Origin, and Shianni is by far my favourite minor character.

Dagna, definitely!

Shianni

Queen Anora

Shale (especially after the events of Asunder)

Valenna

Sigrun

Nathaniel Howe

[Potato Cat]

We can't forget Wade and Herren!! How can the Inquisition be effectively fighting the demons if they're not properly equipped?

[R2s Muse]

Dagna, definitely!

Sigrun

Nathaniel Howe

Mmm, Nathaniel Howe...   Oh dear, I'm sensing a trend. However, that also reminds me that I would love to see Loghain again. And, Sebastian Vael. Um, did I mention Sebastian?

Sadly Gaider confirmed they won't be in DAI.

[LolaLei]

The janator didn't know we were still in the building and locked us in, LOL! But we broke out and scaled the fences.

Oh yeah... I forgot about that. Really depresses me.

Still, I hope for a cameo in DLC. Same for Maevaris.
