Yeah, agreed. So far the writers have done an admirably realistic job portraying Cullen's PTSD in my opinion, and I'd like to see them continue to explore that.

 


 

Agreed on this too. The game has established that templars are addicted to lyrium. That puts Cullen in a tough situation, but I'd rather have the game explore it than handwave it away or gloss over it.

 

Whether Cullen ends up overcoming the addiction or accepting that he has to live with it for the rest of his life (whether because the physical dependence can't be overcome or because the price of a "cure" is too high) it would lead to interesting character development.

 


 

 

 

 

I doubt Cullen will ever "get over" his PTSD, in the sense that it will never be as though it never happened. That's not realistic. However, people can and do live with PTSD and experience healing. It's not a life sentence of misery.

 

The Inquisitor can't "heal" Cullen. But that said, I think that having the Inquisitor's support could help Cullen heal himself.

Yes. This is wonderfully put.

Ahh, I guess I need to learn to read with understanding :] I thought that you meant your pc profiles, nevermind. To get little icons under your ava, go to My settings (when you click arrow next to your name) > Game Profiles section and copy-paste urls that are provided as examples. Hope it helps.

Thanks for this... I had the same issue and you swooped in to save the day.  :wizard:

BTW, your avatar... can't stop laughing! Well done!

You mean he could actually be in here now, lurking? ... That's scary!

I love how Greg had absolutely no idea that Cullen even had a fan base. I guess it is pretty unusual that such a previously minor character/NPC would get so much attention. I mean, yeah, it happens sometimes in films such as Star Wars with Boba Fett, but not so much in video games, it's rare and generally not the the extent that Cullen's character has created.

I think I've figured it out. When you use a like it takes 24 hours for it to come back.

I don't know it's kinda annoying though. This is why I'm careful in the Cullen thread, it devourers my likes.

It definitely should be more like 12 hours I thinks. 24 hours can just leave you in the lurch for far too long. Like what happened to me after GE started tweeting his perfection.

some sort of counter would be helpful. Or more likes! 250 a day should do nicely.  ;)

His perfection tweeted itself, he was just the messenger, the glorious messenger.

I don't think it's enough for this thread.

Ooh this GE talk reminded me I made this gif for when he started posting. Since it looks like me might be more of a lurker type, I'll just post it anyway.

I agree.  It's really odd that there is an accounting of our limited number of likes without there being a way to keep track of it ourselves. :angry:

I want a pop up that says, "You've used blank many likes today, you have blank likes left." Like when it pops up to say how many new posts have happened as I'm typing.

see I would have LIKED this but now I have to do it this way. And take up more precious space.

 

So here's a picture to make it more worth your while.

LIKE! LIKE! LIKE! This add-a-picture method definitely works for me.

It makes you really stop and consider how much of the love for the character came from the game, and how much started from talking and speculating w/ other fans of his small appearance in Origins, and relatively larger in DA2. I mean, how many back stories have we come up w/ for this guy by now?  :lol: Even still, I would love to be thrown completely through a loop to find out what his real life entails, pre Kinloch Hold and so on. He's the perfect amount of familiar, yet still so undiscovered that makes me really really hope that we encounter him a LOT in Inquisition (pants not required  :P )

I've seen some videos where Oghren gets murdered in camp, and I always thought it was hilarious how everyone just shuffles back to their own spots as if this happens all the blasted time.  :lol: It'd be nice if someone expressed a bit of shock over having to kill someone they'd been fighting beside.

Wait, wut??   Under what circumstances do you have to kill Oghren? This is the first I've heard of it!

If you get his approval low enough, he tries to leave. You can talk him out of it once, but if  your approval keeps dropping, he eventually demands to leave. You can then kill him.

 

He gets better for Awakening, though.  :lol:

Nicely said, nikki. Agree. It's just enough to get us interested... and CREATIVE! 

 

Speaking of which, don't forget about page 5000... looming ever closer!!

Ah, I see. Thanks! I totally forgot that with negative approval they'll leave you in DA:O. :blink:  That was a change I liked for DA2. I was so terrified of losing people that I was fake friendly to everyone. Altho I always get Oghren last, so I've never gotten him to 100% Like.

Oh man...I'd love to get this 2nd Cullen centered cutscene done for that. Barring a Cullen companion/LI confirmation, I think I can get that finished by then!
