What I suspect Bioware will do with his character (unless David Gaider himself writes his story/lines) is something like this:

He'll be brooding, sullen and judgemental of Mages, bickering with other Mage companions in our team about whether or not Mages are people or weapons, throw a total wobbler if one of them uses blood magic and spend the whole game spouting Templar rules and praying to the Maker. Sooo he'll be like the ultimate nightmare mix of Fenris, Anders and Sebastian's bad points LOL.


...why would it be different if David Gaider wrote him?


He's written the story/romances to some of the most popular characters like Alistair... unless I've got that completely wrong? Hang on, lemme double check that.


What I don't understand is that the character you describe as being a bad example of what "BioWare but not Gaider" would do with Cullen is exactly Fenris.  Who was written by... David Gaider.


Lol I was only messing around when I made that comment. Because everyone always complains about Fenris' brooding, Anders complaints about the Mage situation and Sebastian's constant religious talk. It was suppose to be joke.

*Sigh* nevermind.

This is interesting, here's something David Gaider wrote about coming up with the concept of Alistair:

"In the last romance I'd written, I wanted to draw out if I could make a male romantic character that female players would actually love. I wanted to know what was wrong with former female-oriented romances, what was lacking there, and how they differed from actual romance. It's difficult, because you can't really go to prose for the answer, because this is an interactive romance. I went to this site called "Ladies of Neverwinter Nights," and I asked the female players there, How do you guys feel? What do you want to see in romance? What kinds of elements and moments were you missing? And they told me. They were very frank about it, and having gotten that excellent feedback, I tried to incorporate that feedback into Alistair."

Man, I really hope he does do the romance/writing for Cullen, it would be awesome if he came and asked us what we'd want to see from his character.

Here's the link to that article anyway:

http://killscreendai...w-david-gaider/


David Gaiders definitely a great character writer, Alistair and Morrigan were easily two of my favorite characters in the series. The dao team has alot of good writers, I think the problem with da2s companions was just due to the limited companion interaction. I might of even started to like sebastian could we of talked to him more than 4 times

But seriously though, I have absolutely no idea what they'll in regards to his personality.

I have a question for you all again:

What will you do if Bioware hit Cullen with the ugly stick in DA3?


I will scream, and then probably find a way to make a mod for him, or maybe I can keep a picture of his da2 version by me and whisper to myself that's what he really looks like. I've heard they're unlikely to change the graphics much though so on the brightside to that it means hunky Cullen! :D

Yeah, I imagine the character designs will be pretty much the same. I hope they sort Alistair's face out this time round, poor thing... I'm actually petrified that they'll do something horrible to him like kill him off or make him say something out of character about the our Warden again LOL.

Oh I know I was like hey my warden isn't a ball and chain, or scary lol. Luckily I guess my wardens an Amell anyway so it's not my canon. Actually I can't decide on whether I wan't to use my Amell/Alistair playthrough as my cannon or my male Cousland/Morrigan one since it's the bioware cannon
 I do hope they fix Alistair's face though, and Zevran's oh god...
And Teagan! He was such a hottie in dao and in da2 he looked like a tucan or something

I think maybe Steve Valentine (Alistair's voice actor) just didn't quite deliver the line in a way which sounded like a joke, instead it came out sounding slightly resentful lol. I kept him as a Warden in my game and when he did finally mention my Warden he chucked Hawke an amulet or something and said "here, she would have wanted you to have this" as if my Warden had died or something! 

Maybe the romance flags glitched with him or something? His dialogue about the Warden Queen being a ball & chain sounded more like it was from the arranged political marriage you can get him and the Warden into if the weren't in a romance.

I always thought he was only suppost to give the amulet if she did die. I don't have a warden import so i'm not quite sure. And he did sound like that didn't he? Well even in Origins it doesn't sound like he really wants to get married lol. I tried it once and just ended up being his mistress the rest of the time, I felt like before I was forcing him into it or something. It would of been nice if he purposed or something...

In the old Cullen thread, I love Selenora's comment:

Who the hell is that guy next to Alistair????
My Couslands would reconsider marrying him if they knew he will end up like this...he's a living nightmare...
And i like Anders more in DA2.

Really? Shiiiit, my Warden didn't die! I wonder what he's supposed to say when she's alive and in a romance with him? What's he doing giving away the Wardens belongings anyway? Surely he'd want to keep that close to him if she's supposed to be dead? Damn you Alistair.

I don't think even when it comes to the time he goes to Orzammar to wander mindlessly, unless he overate before that time, I seriously doubt he'd look as horrific and as unrecognizable as he does in this picture lmfao.

Cullen for the win! <3

Lol I know! If I had something of my dead lover's I wouldn't give it away to some stranger I met briefly for 5 seconds. There could be my horcrux in there!!

I have a theory that Tegan used his beak to ram Alistair and Zevran into some melting bowl of wax and now they just can't get it off!

I wouldn't think so, I doubt my romance with Alistair has been documented either since he's not a warden and I didn;t become queen. Actually when I imported without Awakening in which case they use the canon awakening I was really surprised to find out that in bioware cannon Nathaniel was executed rather than becoming a grey warden

Just checked, there's a glitch on Awakenings surrounding romances in particular the Warden Alistair and Leliana one, there was supposed to be a fix for it but it never happened. I'll load it up from the main DA:O game next time, it's just a shame because I won't get the Anders banter and Nathaniel will be dead.

There's also a glitch on the Zevran romance I believe so apparently over half the romances are glitched, the onyl that isn't is Morrigan then. There's also a glitch where Nathaniel is dead in DA2 if you don't take him with you to fight the mother so I imagine he's dead in over half the games. 

Another Cullen question, did you guys prefer the Cullen from dao or da2? In both looks and personality wise

That's why I worry about the DA2 imports, especially if it takes into account the DA:O import too.

Anyway back to Cullen! I prefer Cullen's looks in DA2 because he looks younger and he has better teeth lol, in DA:O he had a very weathered face, like he hadn't slept for weeks... then again, he was probably wrecked with guilt over obsessing after a Mage LOL. Personality wise it's a tough one, I loved how flustered he got in DA:O, it was very sweet but in DA2 he has a greater depth of character and has grown up a lot.

It's always hard to tell with NPC's because you never get to talk to them enough on a personal level to get a good idea of what they're like. It could be that his personality in DA3 will revert back to the way it was in DA:O if he starts to fall for your character. Since he didn't fancy Hawke in DA2 we only saw "professional Cullen" rather than "Infatuated Cullen."

I think I'll be a bit offended if he doesn't at least get a little tongue tied when talking to my new character in DA3 when she pursues him lol.

I thought he looked better in da2 too, I actually kind of liked his da2 personality slightly better also, maybe it's just because I loved his entire arc throughout the series. First he starts out adorable and naive then he goes crazy and hateful torwards mages, then he appears more sane in da2 yet still resentful to mages, but torwards the end he becomes the most reasonable person in kirkwall he even tries to save some of the mages in the last straw and he finally stands up to meredith. I thought his arc was really amazing. His character wouldn't be the same if he had stayed the same the entire time throughout the series

It could be that his personality in DA3 will revert back to the way it was in DA:O if he starts to fall for your character. Since he didn't fancy Hawke in DA2 we only saw "professional Cullen" rather than "Infatuated Cullen."

I think I'll be a bit offended if he doesn't at least get a little tongue tied when talking to my new character in DA3 when she pursues him lol.


 I think all the npcs teeth were terrible in dao lol I was so glad they fixed it in da2. But I agree with pretty much everything you said. I loved the new Cullen design (thank god someone turned out for the better) I loved his character art throught the series as I explained in my last post. He just wouldn't be the same without it

Something I really like about Cullen is that he surprised us all. At the start of DA:O he seems very meek, nervous and a bit of a push over, so when you arrive at the Circle later on in the game and discover that ****s hit the fan, the first person you'd think would have given into the demons and died would be Cullen, then you find him in that cage at the top of the stairs and he's the only Templar left that's alive, he summoned enough mental strength and resilience to withstand weeks/months of torture. Then at the end of DA:O you find out in the epilogue that he goes a little mental and gets sent away to recover and you think "aw, poor guy he's gone mad" then suddenly he appears in DA2 as Knight Captain and manages to hold the line and take control of everything as Meredith slowly starts to go mad, whilst still battling with his past and his own inner demons, then finally at the end of DA2 he surprises you once again by disobeying Meredith, sparing those 3 mages and sides with Hawke either bowing to him at the end (if you sided with the Templars) or letting you escape (if you sided with the Mages/are a Mage.) He successfully manages to be a constant source of surprise over the course of 2 games!

Now, if that isn't a strong character worthy of companion/LI status I don't know what is!

Yes! This sums it up all perfectly! He's the one character I think that has actually managed to surprise me from his actions (not counting blowing up buildings) I would of never thought Cullen would end up being the voice of reason in Kirkwall given his well-being in dao but I just completely loved his tstory arc from the very beginning right down to the end where he goes "You'll have to go through me"<3 Ah that's my favorite line 
It's be such a shame to leave his character after all that
