We must be close to some sort of announcement now.

Thats what I'm thinking. All these things dropping, it must be a sign.

I gots jelly for you with the understanding spouses.

My guy is totally not into DA. He mocks me horribly about my fondness for it.

They do not understand pixellove. Outrageous!

That's another one of those things I won't let myself get optimistic about.

If meanieweenie was right about March 2014, that's still (counts on fingers) 17 months away. Would they really announce a game that far out? Then again, would they call in VAs to do parts when the game is still 19 months away?


AAAARGH! 

The suspense!

They could just give us a few "hypothetical" details? That being said Greg Ellis just openly said that he's done a DA3 VO session, which confirms it's being made. If he was supposed to keep it secret then they would have told him to.

Something must be on the horizon.

[berelinde]

We already knew that it was being made. It's the whole reason the Exalted March *isn't* being made. I want details!

I am so pathetic.

They are very good at this ><
All this guessing, wondering, and doubting!

Yeah I know, but this is the first time someone's directly and openly said "I'm working on DA3", everyone else has been like "we are working on a game that may or may not be Dragon Age related."

 Honestly, men. I went to fangirl at my husband. "JASPER! Greg Ellis is voicing Cullen in DA3! Iehhh"
Jasper: *blank stare* *crickets*
Me: "your rival when it comes to my undivided love?"
Jasper: *scoffs* *walks away*
Me: "You're not helping your case here, mister!"

LMAO!

My husband wants Cullen in the next game about as bad as I do. He has a bit of a bro-crush. LOL!

"Hey, guess what? Cullen's for sure going to be in the next game!"
"Sweet! In our party, or what?"
"Not sure yet."
"Better be. Cullen is all that is MAN! Rahh!" 

Between me squeeing this at my BF (who was making dinner so just nodded and walked away) and me getting ridiculously over excited because Adam Howden is doing the VO for an alien porn smut book....I'm surprised he's not packed his bags and left.

Tell me about it! I just hope the game lives up to its hype!

Okay, this is only slightly Cullen-related but it may make berelinde and Xilizhra really happy:

looking back at the follower customization artwork they released at PAX east, one of the Seeker outfits shows the symbol that's supposedly the new Inquisition symbol:


But here she's wearing completely different colors than she did in all the previous pictures, and no longer sporting any Chantry-related symbols:



So an indication that we and our party can choose/change sides, maybe?

[Xilizhra]

Hmmm, intriguing indeed...

I briefly wondered why the heck I'm here when I don't even like Cullen, but then I remembered it's because you people actually talk about things at a decent speed and none of you hold opinions that make me hate you.

[berelinde]

Oh, dear. I just had a worrying thought.

Greg Ellis gets confused sometimes. Before DA2 was released, he tweeted something about doing some DA2 voice work, and somebody asked him if he was doing Anders. This was in the interval between the full-party screen shot that had Epic Templar Dude in it and the time they announced the full cast. Ellis tweeted back "Yes, I do believe I am!"

Hmmm... they did the voice work not too far out from the time they announced the companions. Do you think some info might be forthcoming sooner rather than later after all?

Could be why he said in his previous tweet that he didn't know who he was voicing, incase he got confused again. I'd presume that now he's recording it said Cullen's name on the script lol.

Yeah, in here you can actually have a decent debate about a wide variety of topics without things turning into a flame war lol.

LOL - thanks? 

Granted, I'm probably the most opinionated person I know, but I still completely respect yours - and your comments really do inspire me to do some thinking, which is nice. So I appreciate having you around.
Plus it's all just gameplay, isn't it? I find that the people I have the most in common with in real life I actually end up disagreeing with the most about things in games/sci-fi/literature. It's interesting.

And for the record, I think you've been quite fair to Cullen. I'll be interested to see what they're doing with him - of course there's no guarantee that even his die-hard fans will agree with his actions in the next game.  He may go completely off the deep end (for real this time).

[Xilizhra]

Interesting. Why do you think he'd go wholly off the deep end now, of all times?

[berelinde]

@Brushyourteeth: Interesting!

Honestly, I would infinitely prefer *choosing* sides rather than *changing* sides because the first allows for more divergent backgrounds, but it is interesting.

It isn't the "working for the chantry" part that bugs me. In every BioWare game every written, you *will* spend at least some portion of the game working for somebody you don't want to work for. It's the "starting out as a member of" that bothers me. It imposes a ground-state set of beliefs on the character before the player has a chance to shape the character according to their will. I know that DG said that atheism doesn't exist in Thedas, but he did say that we would be allowed to run characters that reject Andrasteism. Starting out as one of the faithful kind of negates that freedom of choice.

Anyway, I don't want to open up that can of worms again. I just wanted to try again at explaining a stance that seems to be difficult to understand, and this seemed to be a nice, calm place to do it.

Actually, that explanation made your POV make sense to me in a way I admit it didn't before. So thank you!!

LOL, well honestly there's not much of an in-game reason, but it looks like DAIII won't be happening immediately after DAII - some amount of time, even if just a few weeks or months will have passed. He has probably been interrogated pretty harshly, because the Chantry will have probably been pretty unhappy that he allowed Hawke to go free/become Viscount (even a pro-Templar Hawke was buddies with Anders. And Merrill, since surely the other Templars noticed something strange about her in the final battle).

And this establishment that his life has been devoted to keeps proving itself to be so wholly insufficient (and even largely morally unqualified) to complete its task, that I think that will cause a real crisis of faith. I can see Cullen rotting in a Chantry dungeon. I can see him leaving the Chantry and running apostates to freedom. I can see him in a tavern ******-drunk, depressed and lacking any kind of direction.

I don't see him being harder on mages. I think the events of DAII have closed that door unless some other very traumatizing event like the Ferelden Circle were to suddenly happen again, at which point he'd hopefully have a more balanced POV than "magic is to blame for everything."

But I also know David Gaider and how he likes to make fans cry. So seeing a serious change in Cullen is something I'm kind of preparing myself for - and it may not be a very bad thing.

Hmm the tweet from him isn't showing for me anymore...

Same. Maybe he wasn't allowed to tweet info like that?

Yeah, it's gone for me too. Hmm, is this a bad thing? Maybe they felt he dropped off too much of a hint for us?

I admit I kind of wish that Hawke being a blood mage might come up, but I doubt it will.

[Dwarva]

Yep that was my first thought - someone from Bioware saw it (or saw our reaction) and asked him to remove it. Surely they have to sign confidentially agreements prior to going in?

Or he was confused and it's not Cullen he's reading for..

I really hope it wasn't because he was confused!
