maybe a bit out of the blue but will the Dalish inquisitor have a welsh accent?
English VoiceOver will support a British and American accent for the main character.
So does this mean there's a male/female american voice, and a male/female British voice?

And my hopes are crushed...I don't mind that much though, (as long as we don't get a FemHawke type of voice).
You know the part about Amell/Surana, I hope that isn't true because that could be bad news for our Inquisitor, heh. It seems romantic that he is still hung up on her, but isn't it time to move on? They never really had anything, other than Cullen's crush on her and I certainly wouldn't want him to sulk about her if he is a LI/companion while my Inquisitor is humping his leg.
No-no, I didn't mean he was still hung up on her. I mean that he obviously goes for a certain caliber of person, the attributes he's attracted to was displayed in Surana/Amell. Thus why he said "never met her like again", meaning that he'd never met another woman (or man) of that caliber. Basically my theory originally (and to an extent, still is) that whole conversation was a hint that he might be romanceable in DAI, like: "never met her like again... wink, wink, nudge, nudge, players get your Inquisitors ready because I'm ready for lurve!"

Hmmm, romancing Cullen with something closer to my own accent... That's an appealing thought.

I like your theory. I like it a lot. 
(I wonder if that means he 'friendzoned' Hawke.)
I can see that and that would not bother me in the least, just no lost love thing. If the game would have us play as our Warden or Hawke again then I would be all for Cullen still having feelings for Amell/Surana, but seeing we're a completely new character that might have never met him before, it would be nice to just bury that whole story. Just my opinion of course, but then I'm not a Cullen/Amell/Surana shipper.
Oh I completely agree with you, I wouldn't particularly want the lost, love trope either and as my canon Warden is a Cousland i'm not a Cullen/Amell/Surana shipper as well.
The nearest I get to a Cullen ship is with my canon Hawke and that was the opposite way round, she harbored a secret torch for him, one that she never acted on (ignoring the fact that the game wouldn't let her anyway 
)
Him being a tough nut to crack has more to do with his experiences during Uldreds revolt rather than his feelings towards Amell/Surana, although they would have been a contributing factor. That's is how I see it at least, mileage may vary for other players

Yeah, I misunderstood you then.
LOL Down there, Maferath! It was when he accused us of being the ravening horde that would get out our pitchforks if Cullen's story doesn't match our fanfic/headcanon. Not realizing of course that at this point we've imagined it all!
Wait, DG has stepped in here before?

Okay, sorry this topic has been so disjointed; I'm having to post between things at work
1. So if we think the various origins exist whether we play them or not, should we assume that at least one of those is a female Surana or Amell; thus Cullen's infatuation is canon?
2. Regardless as to whether or not it's canon -- do you think it matters? Is it important? I mean, I guess... would we find him as compelling if we didn't know he had a shy, stuttering crush on someone (male or female... lets assume for the sake of example that he could canonically be infatuated with male Surana or Amell, too) in his early years?
I ask because I'm undecided. Yes, I think Cullen's changing spiritual and political beliefs are fascinating, and it's chiefly what draws me to the character. But aside from that, just as a person, I do find his early shyness interesting... and I find it charming that he retains that shyness into adulthood and the beginnings of middle age.
Does that general shyness translate to actual lack of experience in bed? I don't know and I honestly don't care. I hope it isn't brought up at all. One thing I'm sure of is that I don't think his virginity or lack of virginity contributes to his character at all. (As opposed to, say, Fenris, admitting that he hasn't let anyone get too close before Hawke. It's important for Fenris' story and character.)
I adore that scene when we encounter him for the first time in DA2, simply because when you see that scene for the very first time your instant reaction is like "wtf?! Leave that man alone, you massive jerk!" Cullen comes off as a real arsehole that can clearly handle himself in a fight like a big manly man, but then suddenly Wilmod transforms and you see another side to Cullen, he looks genuinely terrified and shocked. Then you see a third side to him after they kill Wilmod and we see that Cullen was actually the good guy in that particular situation and witness his professional side, even finding out that he put his own life in danger to confront Wilmod to protect his recruits. Then you see a 4th side where his professionalism slips a little whilst talking about the "young ladies" of the Blooming Rose, and you realise that although he's a very capable and skilled warrior, he's still got that flustered boyish and completely unintentional charm to him.
To join this conversation late, I think the high-amplitude emotional drama of the oscillation from adorable "You can talk to me any time you like"!Cullen to unhinged "KILL THEM ALL"!Cullen to sad "A great battle awaits you, does it not"!Cullen to angry professional "I WILL HAVE THE TRUTH FROM YOU AND I WILL HAVE IT NOW"!Cullen is a pretty big part of why I initially found him interesting, at least. And then after all that he looks at his boots and says "...young ladies" and I'm practically yelling at the screen "OMFG, HE'S STILL IN THERE SOMEWHERE!!!"
But the rest of his character development in DA2 is why he continues to hold my interest, and the mage crush is pretty irrelevant to that.
Also, for any other new people wondering about R2, Gaider and the pitchforks, I believe this is it: http://social.biowar...ndex/14916663/6
I still think y'all are crazy.
But then that would hardly make you unique on these forums, even so.

I'd say so. I mean, Hawke was a hero of sorts... but he/she was also pretty shady, LOL!

He's actually quite our Knight in Shining Armor off this thread, however.

Well what it means is I'm probably going to have a Dalish elf with an American accent *grimaces*

I remember my heart pounding, seeing he was in here, thinking to myself, Don't say anything stupid, Don't say anything stupid, Don't say anything stupid... In the end I think I said nothing

That must've been interesting
anyone want to dare to venture into the void that is the old forums to find the stuff he said?

He certainly has no room to talk.

If you go back to my 2nd to last post, I pulled it up from the depths.
