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 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 a constant source of surprise!

Now, if that isn't a strong character 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

I can imagine his reactions when protecting his lover would be amazing! I bet his battle cry for the fallen romanced PC in DA3 would be gut-wrenching, probably even better than Anders' one!

It makes you wonder if they purposely didn't use Cullen as a companion/LI in DA2 because they wanted to grow and develop his character ready for DA3 after all the fan girl response. I get the impression that DA2 was just an interlude/story set up for DA3, which would explain why it was so rushed and stopped making anymore dlc for it.

If that's the case then even if Cullen isn't a companion he could end up playing quite a big part in the events of DA3.

Now I'm going to be so heartbroken if he's not a companion. He seems like the protecting type doesn't he? Awee I can picture it now. Please please please Bioware make Cullen a companion.
This gets my wondering do you think they've already chosen the companions? I imagine it's been in developement for probably around a year now, or at least that's what I'm thinking

I was wondering the very same thing! I suspect they are further into developement than they lead us to believe. I reckon they've already got their choice of companions picked out, at least in the concept art stages anyway (for costumes, weapons etc.) I'm hoping they will be in the process of contacting VA's already. I monitor the voice actors twitter every now and again when I know a bioware game is in developement because they often make hints or let slip if they've been in the studio recording for said games, long before it's officially announced.

That's what I was thinking also. There's about 3 possibilities to Cullen as to what happened to him after DA2, he leaves the order for some reason, he gets kicked out possibly for helping to kill meredith, or he stays with the order and probably is now the night-commander of kirkwall (which isn't saying much considering there are no mages there)
Any way I could see him traveling with the pc. The later one would probably be because he was assigned to or something, sort of like evangeline in asunder or something like that. But anyway there's so many possibilities of ways he could become a companion!

Well, Bioware often say that once a game is finished a small team work on dlc whilst they have nothing to do, so I reckon the rest of the team have been working on DA3 since they released DA2 to the public, if thats the case they probably have the story all figured out already.

As for Cullen, I reckon he'll end up being offered the job of the Knight Divine (if thats the correct title?) And your character gets the opportunity to join him and become a Templar (if you're a rogue or warrior class) or if you're a mage maybe you'll be able to talk him out of doing it or he'll dump your character because his duty comes first etc. OR if they're being really cruel he'll sacrifice himself to redeem his guilt over the treatment of Mages under his watch or something harsh like that.

Whatever they pick for his story arc you can bet your arse that it won't be a cake walk, there's bound to be some heavy risk involved somewhere along the line.

I think so too, I'm remembering that tweet we got last year where it was already talking about designing artists for da3?! I'd say they've got our companions picked out too, guess that means theres no more trying to waylay them into choosing Cullen as a companion. Maybe he already is, possibly hopefully. If you see any tweets from Cullen's VA please do share

Will do, so far all he's tweeted about is football results LOL! I say we should still keep asking for Cullen even if they've already made their decision because they could always decide to add him in as a dlc character, like they did with Sebastian.

hmm I'm wondering if he'll take the male lead role? In dao it was AListair, da2 it was a mashup between Anders/Varric. I think you have to be a seeker to be knight divine right? Oh wait maybe I'm thinking of Lord Seeker. Is Knight DIvine head of the templars or seekers? I would hate it if he dumped my character for a job. I like those romances that are sort of the 'I need you more than air/can't live without you' thing, though I'm probably in the minority, ah well...
I do like the idea however of maybe him being forced to leave you, maybe he was blackmailed into leaving you? 
But I don't mind a little heavy risk, oh how I love troubled romances 

I hope so! Knight Divine is the head of all the Templars according to wiki.

Lol I enjoy those romances too, might be a bit full on in real life though? The fanfic you guys talked me into writing has Cullen blackmailed into leaving in order to spare her and the other companions lives.

... He comes back though!

[Dunquixote]

sounds interesting! :-)

[LolaLei]

Not yet, still working on it. It needs a lot of tweaking and its general structure needs sorting out. In the mean time, here's some Cullen!

[LolaLei]

Ha! I just noticed he has a beauty spot! They got rid of it in DA2 didn't they?

[LolaLei]

Here's a really sweet one, from a mod of some sorts. He looks so much better when he smiles.



... Has he ever actually smile like that in game? (Without mods?) I don't think I've ever seen him do it, not once. That's sad. :-(

[LolaLei]

Have you ever noticed that Cullen always looks really pale and ill? Maybe it's a side effect of the lyrium? Lol.

Well my pc will make him smile again!

but I found one on the old thread

Haha, look at that doppy half smile... actually, the more you look at it, the more he seems like he's in emotional pain just thinking about her, his eyes/eyebrows give it away. That could just be a design fault though.

I auto adjusted this picture from the Official Knight-Captain group picture gallery, using photobucket.  I think it's just the shade because in this scene, I remember he was standing in the shaded area off to the side.

Poor old thing, I don't want him to end up forever alone lol.

[LolaLei]

Do you know what I hate? The way Bioware design the characters ears, they are always too big and really bloody creepy looking.
