LOL how could I forget! Bet you'd sh!t ya pants if you suddenly got a "helping hand" from one of the rising zombies!

New question:

If Cullen does have a family somewhere, what do you think their background will be based on the way Cullen himself talks/acts. For example, rich nobility, poor peasants, farmers, merchants, royalty, one parent is an elf (city or Dalish?) and so on.

I think he comes from Farmers or Merchants and maybe their farm or store was destroyed by bandits and he was the only one who made it..

I'd prefer him to be an orphan. But if he isn't then I quite like the idea of him coming from a big family with loads of younger brothers and sister, like really young a lot of them still children. Perhaps he gives a lot of his wages to his family to help keep them a float (maybe his dad is dead and his mum is an alcoholic who shags around a lot) so it's really only him and the older siblings helping to bring the little ones up. I could imagine him letting the protagonist come with him to visit (once he trusts him/her enough) and as soon as he opens the door one of the younger kids is like "Cullen!" and runs up to him as he picks the kid up for a cuddle, swinging the kid around in his arms in a playful manner.

Or maybe the protagonist wonders where Cullen keeps disappearing off to and decides to follow him, where she discovers his family. She spies on him for a bit but Cullen catches her and before he can say anything his sister presumes that they are a couple (of course at that point the protagonist is only pursuing him and he hasn't made his feelings known yet, despite the obvious give away) and that's how she meets his family or something. Que heart-to-heart about his family background and how he joined the Order to become a brave Knight and provide for his family, whilst giving him the opportunity to make something of himself.

I think maybe seeing that side to him would let us see a completely different aspect to his personality, as we really start to see "the man behind the Templar."

I've had an idea for a banner if someone wants to make it.

Have a picture of Cullen, with the quote;

"Cullen for companion/LI in DA3: Let us meet the man behind the Templar"

I was thinking. If Cullen is romancable and we play as a Mage, we are likely going to have to agree with his view points about how Mages should be kept in the Circle etc. I'm hoping the system they use this time for approval rating won't be based solely on agreeing with the companion, I had plans on playing my Mage character as a free spirit lol.

Omg, wouldn't it be awesome if Cullen's mother is a prostitute in one of the Brothels. Like, our protagonist and co have to visit one for some reason and Cullen makes his excuses about "having to see a man about a dog" and leaves, leaving the protagonist and the player thinking that he's either shy/scared about sex/brothels etc or that he secretly visits the place but doesn't want to get recognised in there whilst in the protagonists company. Then much later on we find out that his alcoholic mother works in there and he was embarrassed about her and her behaviour etc.

I had a thought. Remember "Best Served Cold"? You can have Hawke recommend that the mages not be shown mercy, and Cullen will basically allow them all to be killed ... even sweet Alain.

I don't know, that's really upsetting to me. Not sure I can forgive him for that.

Seriously? I've never choosen that option before. I'll have to try this. Apparently he'll kill Samson too because he says that he must have been involved with it too. I think it just goes to show that even in Act 3 Cullen still isn't completely thinking straight. He lets his torture from his time in the Ferelden Circle cloud his judgement still. I'd say he's still suffering with PTSD.

Chances are he'll be in a bad way emotionally when we meet him in DA3 (if he's a companion.) Although I dunno if he's even workable as a companion after all the bad things he's done/experienced. Maybe he's just too developed in terms of behaviour to actually work as companion/LI material.

Oops, misread the post.
It would be interesting, a little weird, but interesting.
I still want him to be an orphan and learn how he lost his family

It would certainly be different! I don't think we've had that in a companion's backstory before LOL!

[Miss_BlackJack]

That it would; every other was just being separated or killed.

[CuriousArtemis]

I think I'll have to meta-game and assume Hawke asked for mercy and Cullen granted it. It's all because I have a soft spot for cutie Alain lol I don't have a problem with Anders igniting his little magical weapon of mass destruction. Nothing but old lady Elthina and a few nameless priests getting sploded there xD

Keep in mind that Cullen acts at Hawke's direction. I've recommended Alain and the conspirators be shown mercy and their punishment is relatively lenient.

I did have a chilling moment once when I instead recommended that Samson be re-instated into the order. I asked Cullen what happened to the conspirators and he said "Did you not see them when you came in?" He then talked about how Meredith would tolerate no dissent amongst the templars.

It took me a second to realize that Meredith had the conspirators executed and their bodies (or maybe just their heads) put on display near the entrance to the Gallows.

What sort of family background would you want Cullen to have (if he's not an orphan.)

[LolaLei]

Face of evil: Seriously?! That's just rotten! I wish we could have seen that... They let is see the Viscount get his head get cut off and roll across the floor.

[LolaLei]

... I wonder who had the grotty task of putting their bodies/heads up on show? Probably Cullen and his recruits no doubt. Poor bastards.

Hmmm, not sure. Maybe, his family are minor nobles and he was sent to the chantry to become a templar at a young age, possibly pre-teens. I'm kind of imagining his family like Sebastians, he was the "spare" in way. I might change this, but this is the only thing I can think of so far.

[LolaLei]

Lol is it bad that I like the idea of his life being one tragedy after another, until he meets the protagonist?
