If he does stop by, this could be a good time to trot out this one by Galagraphia.

It can be whatever you want it to be. The theme is just there to help spark ideas for those needing inspiration.

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 know that, way back when, I'd heard about you "crrrrrrrazy Cullenites" from the rest of the forums and decided to come check out what the big deal was.

 

And then I never left.  :lol:

 

You guys really helped make Cullen interesting for me. I mean, I was vaguely interested in him from DAO, and DA2 Cullen was, er, there, although I totally didn't know he was standing in front of the Gallows for my first (abandoned) run, but it wasn't until I popped in here that I started paying attention. And then I became extremely fond of Cullen's character.

 

So, thanks, you guys, for all your ramblings. You made me love a relatively minor NPC.  :wub:

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.




My backpacks got jets. Well I'm Boba the Fett :D

@user: @Mike_Laidlaw You (and others) have been really patient and great answering fan questions When might more voice actors be confirmed?

Mike Laidlaw@Mike_Laidlaw: @user I'm sure more will come along before launch, but I don't have a timeline.


Not exactly a revelation, but it's always nice to have an update. I will say that Nicholas Boulton and Jo Wyatt were confirmed quite close to launch, if memory serves, but obviously DA2 had a much less development time in which to get information like this out to the public.

I'm sorta surprised that BSN CSI hasn't figured out who Vivienne's VA is yet. On the other hand... even when I know an actor, sometimes I can't tell from just the voice. My ear is not terribly well tuned. :/

Man, this thread moves so fast! o.O

Re: Oghren -- Wait, wtf?? He can die? In camp? I never knew this! O.o

Re: PTSD -- Most ofwhat Imay have to add about this has already been brought up, but here's some 2cents anyway -- Ihave PTSD from sexual abuse as a child. My husband has PTSD from his work in the USMC. My brother-in-law also has PTSD from deployments. So it's something I'm very familiar with from different angles. All of us are on medication (low dosages, thank goodness and nothing "heavy") to aid with anxiety which, for us, seems to be the common defining "symptom" of our struggles, though in my case I also naturally have a chemical predisposition for anxiety -- it's biological as well as symptomatic of actual life experiences. Anyhoo! We are all three of us fulluy functioning members of society, with work, families, etc. Do we struggle? Sure, each of us in different ways. But with therapy and - if/as needed - medication I'm pleased to say we're doing very well.

The thing is, "PTSD" has become something of a catch-all phrase thrown around kind of willy-nilly by laypersons these days. When in truth it manifests differently for each individual and can be caused by a myriad of things. Some treatments are more effective than others for each individual. Some suffer far more severe forms than others, depending on things like: How soon they recieved treatment;physical as well as mental/emotional damage from the causing event; support systems; personal awareness/acknowledgement... it's complex, to say the least.

Ultimately no one can just snap a finger and cure you with their love, their pills, their treatments plans, their double-fudge brownies.... though, you know, love and brownies always helps ;)

BUT! Love and support and acceptance definitely helps, no doubt about it. Myself and my husband are in full agreement that neither of us would be in the healthy state of mind/body/heart/soul that we are blessed to be if it wasn't for finding each other, cheesy as that bloody well sounds!

To bring this round to Cullen talk: I, personally, hope that if he is a companion, the devs didn't try to impose a true case of still-struggling PTSD on Cullen or, well, anyone. Because, frankly, these games don't devote the level of character detail and in-depth growth that real life allows or a novel can expound on, etc. Which, for me, ultimately leaves the attempt feeling shallow, stereotyped and... ill-timed/ill-advised. I'm not saying that Cullens past shouldn't be brought up in-game: of course it should! But I hope - especially if he IS romanceable - that he's at a point within himself that he's healed enough to be recovered. When I say "recovered" I don't mean "healed" -- frankly, one is never "healed" from most forms of trauma that severe. You move on, you learn to deal with it, you learn and live and - if you're lucky - you become better within yourself, not because of the event but because of all it takes to survive in a healthful manner. That is a mentality that can give itself over to being ready for the kind of - let's face it - quick paced, not-all-that-much-delved-into romance that these games usually afford "on screen" [barring whatever fabulous head-canon we come up with] .... I'd be happy to play out my Inquisitor connecting with a Cullen at that point in his life. Utterly broken and still in a totally head-****** place? Nooooot so much.

er... that rambled on WAY LONGER than I intended. And now the baby is demanding sustenance so I must flee again to the shadows of off-line/lurkdom. ;) Later, lovelies!

By my 3rd playthrough on DA2, pro-mage mind you, I gave in and admitted to myself that there was something about Cullen.  I knew what he'd been through, and yet he seemed to have gotten past most of his bitterness.  He was so earnest and sincere, even when he made me angry.  And then there was the way he looked at his feet when referring to the prostitutes.  Young ladies, indeed.  Oh, and "What would you have of me?"  Really?  When he stepped in front of Meredith and drew his sword, there was no denying it.  He shines.  Still, I was naive enough that I thought maybe I was the only one, that I'd discovered a hidden gem all by myself.   :huh: Until I googled it.   :lol:  When I found my way here, it was one of those "A-HA" moments.  This is by far the most entertaining, welcoming group of people I have yet to find on the interwebs, and I mean that sincerely.   <3

If you a video where she talks, I might be able to try my hand at it. I still think since she sounds so lovely, she might well be Alix Wilton Regan, (Ser Cauthrien, Mhairi, Traynor).

He sounds a little weary of questions. I think at this point his go-to response is, "I don't know; some time in the vague future."

Right! If I hadn't known that, I would never have been able to tell. But I feel that way about Alec Newman as Seneschal Bran. I'd have never known that, and I'd had both Bran and Sebastian speak in the same scene, and didn't notice.

After my first few hours of playing DAO, I closed the program and thought "There is totally going to be an ass-ton of fanfiction about that blushy templar." And there was, and it was great, and I somehow managed not to read it all and spoil the rest of his DAO arc that evening. And then I ran across the Case for Cullen tumblr posts, and here I am now.
