I'm hoping in DA3 they'll have a set of casual clothing for each character (kinda like ME3 where they change into regular clothing when they're off duty) because romantic moments with someone in 2" thick armour kinda ruins the more intimate moments lol.
I'm also desperately hoping for a romance/sex scene with Cullen in the rain. I actually have this concept in my head for his romance story arc if you pursue him as a mage, I figured I'd write it down in here in case anyone fancies using it for a fanfic (it's a bit of a long one so I apologise in advance):
Picture the scene, your PC 'n' companions have stopped over night in some rich noble's mansion who you helped earlier in the game during some random quest. Everyone is drinking, relaxing and generally being social. The rich nobleman has taken a liking to your PC and is obviously flirting and trying to impress her. After a short cut scene and dialogue between the noble and your PC you see Cullen get up and leave but the PC doesn't realise at first, instead being distracted by the nobleman showing off with his entertainment and lute playing. Eventually your PC notices Cullen is missing and asks the others where he's disappeared to, one of your companions tells her that he excused himself claiming he needed to get some air, hinting or making some smart mouthed comment about Cullen being jealous. The PC decides check on him to make sure he's alright.
After a short while your PC finds him outside pacing backwards and forwards in the rain mumbling and scolding himself, she asks whats wrong and he goes into a stuttering angry rant about being in trouble, how he thought he'd grown out of ill advised infatuations and how the maker will judge him for his sins, eventually blurting out his feelings for her, how conflicted he feels and how he knows he can never have her because she's a mage but seeing her tonight with another man really got to him and as such he must regretfully abandon their quest (whatever that may be) for his own sanity because he can't stand to see her with another man. Suddenly the PC interupts him mid-sentence with a urgent kiss on the lips, realising what she's done she quickly pulls away leaving Cullen standing in stunned silence, hands stiff by his sides looking shocked... Seeing the expression on his face she begins to apologise but he implusively grabs her all sense abandoning him, pulling her close and kissing her desperately as if may never get another chance, "stay" she manages to gasp between kisses as things start to get heated, suddenly they get rudely interupted by something or someone moving around in the shadows and they nervously return back to the mansion worried that someone has seen them. That night you see a cut scene of Cullen sneaking off racked with guilt that he broke the Templar code and his beliefs, writing her a letter of apology he quietly slips it under her door and leaves the mansion. You see him getting into a horse drawn cart with a two shadowy figures.
The next morning upon the discovery that Cullen has left, the heart broken PC has no choice but to carry on with her quest without him. Later on in the game your PC is given the option to romance someone else (either a companion or the rich noble/random NPC) or stay single and heartbroken (kinda like in Mass Effect 2 with the whole Kaidan/Ashley thing.) At some point in the game you run into trouble and end up captured/tortured and locked up at the hand of Templars. You then get to take control of Cullen who gets word of the PC's kidnap and panics, hunting down the Templars, slaughtering all those who stand in his way as he desperately searches for your PC. Eventually he discovers where she's being held and battles his way through dungeons, one-by-one rescuing the other companions who join you in the hunt through the dungeons to find her. He finally rescues your PC (que some boss fight) and you all return to safety.
Back in camp you finally get the chance to have it out with Cullen and find out why he left, he tells you of his guilt and that your PC's life would have been in danger had he stayed because the Knight Divine had been in search of them both upon discovering that he (as Knight Captain or Knight commander) had allied himself with an apostate mage (who by this point has probably caused all sorts of political uproar) your PC discovers that the night they kissed, one of the Templar order who had been sent to apprehend Cullen had seen them and reported it to the Divine who then ordered him to break into Cullen's room and demand he return with them less they kill "his little mage." Cullen managed to bargain with the Divine who agreed to spare the PC's life in return offering himself essentially as a slave to the Divine. However, the Divine lies to him and sends Templars to capture the PC regardless, when Cullen discovers this, mortified he escaped and came to your rescue. He promises to never leave your side again but you can either tell him you want nothing more to do with him and send him away, keep him in your team but tell him you've moved on with another companion - which breaks his heart but he accepts this because he feels like he deserves it for everything he put you through, or you can accept his apology and admit you are in a relationship with someone else but promise to break it off with them to be with him OR if you stayed "faithful" you rekindle things and pick up where you left off, with added dialogue in which he tells you that he loves you more than he ever thought he could love anything and promises never to let his duty or faith come between you ever again *cue sex scene* lol.
... Alas, I suspect this will only ever occur in a fan fiction, but it would be ****ing awesome if something like this did happen in DA3!
That's a damn fine setup for a story there. =D I'd write it if I weren't so busy with my current fic. The character I made isn't a mage, though they have their own issues about duty keeping them apart.
And, yes, a casual set of clothes for everyone would be nice.R2s Muse wrote...
Mmm, would love to see him in civilian clothes. Although... that skirt. The sash just intrigues me.[smilie]../../../../images/forum/emoticons/bandit.png[/smilie]
That sash would be soooo useful in the bedroom, no?

Retour en haut
The story I'm writing now has a main character who's a Templar through and through. She's a bit hard on mages and it's up to Cullen to soften her up. It's just that it's too different from the angle of Cullen keeping himself away. It's actually my OFC who has duties keeping her from romantic entanglements. 
Cullen is left trying to be the best friend and commander he can be. He makes his feelings known and believes they are returned but must accept that she puts her duty first. Well it's more of a promise she's keeping, really. Eventually, he does get a little snippy about her denial of their... thing... and she must discover which part of her heart matters more. All while they save the day together! 
). Funny thing is, recently when I was looking at screenshots I took of my character and Cullen kissing, I thought it looked rather uncomfortable for my character with her arms having to stretch around his pauldrons and chest piece! lol. As for how he felt, he should take off his gloves at the very least so he can feel the warmth or coldness of her hands. I can't believe I've been thinking this, but every now and then, I wonder if he could take advantage of having a skirt like the male mages. Anders said to Oghren, "Oh, you don't know the story behind the robes? You know how strict things are in the Circle, right? Of course you do. Well, the robes make quick trysts in the corner easy. No laces or buttons. You're done before the templars catch on." I must not be comfortable if the templars have tried doing the same.
:D:bandit:
