DA2 Cullen just wanted to get our attention enough so he could become our sassy little dumpling!

OH, and I meant to say this is my new favorite description. It makes him sound simply.... delicious. :devil:

Knight Captain Cullen: he kinda tastes like...chicken?

D'oh, strawberries, mint, lyrium, chocolate, chicken. So many possibilities...

EDIT for top:
Still one of my faves:

We could open Cullen franchises everywhere- flavors to please all! Featuring minty lyrium milkshakes, chicken and dumplings (with the Maker's own secret blend of seasonings), and chocolate covered strawberries!!! It'll be a big hit. We could call it Templars Tasty Treats.....

Riiiight. I've clearly had too much coffee for today.

[R2s Muse]

Hee hee. Yeah, I'm making about as much sense as my toddler tonight... to whom I could not successfully explain how difficult it is to keep your hands dry if you are in the bathtub. And I thought the mage-templar war was hard to understand...

[Illusionary Ennui]

*blinks* What is with the food and the Knight-Captain lately? I noticed I was making references in Rainfall...

I must just want to take Cullen home, give him a nice meal and a hug for all his hard work and sadness... and of course, dessert - both kinds.

Dessert should always be eaten first. Just sayin'....

Look at the templar logo shirt they have for sale at the BW store. Me like.

Oh, I like... both the shirt AND dessert before dinner.

[Avilia]

Does that come in girl sizes? *goes off to check*

They had a sale this afternoon and I got these.

[Avilia]

Ooh nice *slowly gets out her credit card*

[Bekkael]

Unfortunately, but the time I noticed the templar one the sale was over and I had already ordered. Oh well. I still like what I got. They really need to make a Cullen tee though.

Edit: Avilia, my credit card is whimpering, but it was so worth it. *snicker*

hehe - mine's upset now too. Got the Qunari one and an ME2 Renegade one. Curse them not making the templar one in girl sizes. I can't wear men's tee shirts - I look odd.

Should arrive in time for summer ;-)

I'd buy a Cullen tee shirt, for certain.

Oooh, yes, I love my Alistair tshirt. A Cullen shirt would be great. As an admitted Twilight fan, I'm also tempted by that cafe press one:

I was also just reading really interesting posts by Mary Kirby on the Varric thread about the thought process BW writers go through in designing a LI. Wow. I stand again by our previous discussion that Cullen is the love interest made in Bioware heaven.

Mary Kirby writes ...
Our romances are not real relationships. People sometimes ask why we do not have "normal" romances and dating. It's because those relationships go in a straight line. A love story looks like the graph of Cinderella. ...You can't have that arc without conflict. Something has to stand in the way of love -- emotional scars, or fears of society's reprisals, or a character's own insecurities.
...
[In some cases, ]The conflict is the threat that their relationship won't last. ... It's also pretty challenging to draft that in a Bioware game because all the threat of the relationship failing falls on the NPC. I can't force Hawke to feel that it is best if they break up. I can make that a choice, but I can't force you to take it, so it really can't be a source of drama and tension. I don't get to decide how Hawke feels.

She talks about how, for a good romance, you need angst/drama within the relationship -- i.e. why won't they get together, as opposed to various external obstacles. But they have the additional constraint that they can't decide what the PC thinks/feels. Wow, tough to write. That said, heh, I think Cullen can have issues GALORE about why he can't hook up with your PC... even if she's not a mage.

I'm a templar, we don't often get permission for such relationships.
I'm a templar, you're a mage and a weapon.
I have lyrium addiction, we can't be together.
I've been thrown out of the templars, I'm broken and no good for anyone.
... the list could go on.

I like my templars broken... but then again, I like to think that I'm good at writing angst, so it works for me.

Wow, four pages after only one day.... I am really impressed, ladies
With so much support the devs can't do anything else than make a LI out of our favorite templar

Mmm, I love broken things, because I can fix them! But I'm losing interest when I can't fix them (Anders). So I think too much angst can easily kill the romance. Maintaining the  balance between drama and "this is hopeless, I'm going to Isabela" is important too.

And here's the picture I was drawing:

Heh, no matter how hard I'm trying to draw DA2 Cullen, he always looks like DAO Cullen in the end.

[Avilia]

That's gorgeous Gala! Cullen being helpful  nosey is cute.

I'm not much for angst in my game relationships (or rl ones) tbh - I don't mind a little but yeah, if it goes on too long I'm switching LI's. Probably explains my romancing Zevran, Fenris and Kaidan hehe.

I like the idea of Cullen being "I'm an ex-Templar and worthless" as long as we'd get a chance to show him he's wrong. To quote my favourite elf "I can do that".

Edit - because I read your description of the pic on deviantArt

Whilst trawling for mods on the Nexus, I came across an interesting one for Cullen fans. Add Cullen to your party - no talks or quests, but if you want to drool...
Additional Companions mod. (Alistair can also be added along with many others)
I will be playing with this as my dream party is Sebastian, Alistair and Cullen

Mmm, nice... *imagination rans riot*
I am looking forward to see some screenshots. Or preferably many, many, many screenshots....:innocent:

@john-in-france, I added your link to the top, thanks!

Yes, I think this is great central motivator for a Cullen relationship. Poor guy...

*sigh* Beautiful as always, gala!!

Good morning all!.  There's another mod called Karma's Companions that adds Cullen along with a few others. I have a friend who played it, and Cullens quests include helping him with his lyrium addiction and then a marriage at the end.

Beautiful pic, Gala!

Get outta town! There's one that even adds quests?!  Not one to mod too much, but I am so there! Thanks!

[Galagraphia]

@RagingCyclone, I added that mod to the top too. But I'm in love with Greg Ellis' voice, so I won't try it myself. And it makes no sense now when Cullen's in Kirkwall. I'll stick with the secret angsty romance Aww, because the look Cullen gives you when you leave the tower

[RagingCyclone]

@Gala, yeah, I've never tried that mod myself, and it isn't voiced. I have a friend who played it, though, and loved having her mage marry him at the end. Not a bad one if you want an AU play. I personally like what the devs have been doing with him...so far.
