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

If its wrong then I dont want to be right lol

I wonder what Cullen's surname would be if he is given one?

[Miss_BlackJack]

I know, honestly, I like it being a mystery. It would be nice to know, but super weird because we're just use to one name

[CuriousArtemis]

Well, since "Cullen" is Irish, I'd love an Irish-sounding last name. Cullen O'Shea. Cullen Cullen O'Connell. Cullen Flynn.

If you don't start questioning whether or not torturing mages is wrong when you're ordered to HOIST SEVERED HEADS ONTO A SPIKE then I'm going to have to consider you irredeemable lol

I just want to take a moment to say to you all that you guys and your posts are keeping me sane while I wait for news on this game haha! I hope we get Cullen as an LI, I'd scream my ass off with joy and proceed to hit it like a screen door in a hurricane.

Ok here's a new question for everyone:

What sort of sex scene do you think Cullen would have? And I don't mean "will there be ****** 'n' arse and can I see his todger" lol, I'm talking about the type of scene you personally feel would suit him best. Like, will it be outdoors or inside? What kind of environment would you want it to take place in, would he be nervous and shy at first, or go in all guns blazing etc. Would you want there to be a scene where you see them cuddling after sexytime or would you prefer him to pull a Fenris stunt, make his excuses and get the hell out of there quick. Also, when it comes to the way in which the sex scene is put together, would you prefer it done in a similar way to the Mass Effect 3 scenes or do you actually wanna see dry humping in pants like the DA:O scenes.

Details please! :innocent:

Looks like I missed a few good questions last night...

I'll give the short version on this one. I don't really have a preference as to location except that I know I don't want Andraste staring at me so no Chantry! lol I'd prefer a good hardy "guns blazing" followed up by some snuggley pillow talk. I'd also like there to be more than one scene throughout the game. I don't suppose we'll be lucky enough for that, huh? That way you can have the rough and tumble AND the slow comfortable. Please no more fade to black either. It doesn't have to be balls out Witcher style pixel porn, just a little more than DA2.

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.

Ok, I thought about this one for a bit. What if Cullen is raised as an orphan - either in the Chantry or other. His family is presumed dead from a 'random' attack. He was told they were just regulare folks, merchants or what have you. Maybe his mother was a seamstress or something. Then tra-la-la throught the game a bit and someone makes a reference to Cullen's lax Templar beliefs are "so much like his father's". Huh? No, surely you are misinformed. Game goes on, at some point you're fighting your way through a prison dungeon and come across some withered old man - a Templar that spoke out against the mistreatment of mages and was locked away years ago by his nutty boss. (a la Meredith type) Spring him from the pokey. Blah blah blah. Find out he's Cullen's father, who was told that his entire family was dead years ago and he had no idea that Cullen was still alive. Heart felt moments... gather serious information on the plight at hand.... Daddy dies.

Too early.... need more coffee.

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

Wasn't Zevran's mom a prostitute? Not so much on the embarrassment, though.

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.

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.

Hmm, I don't think I realized this one. Really??  I would have interpreted that as didn't you see them hanging around the Gallows Courtyard when you walked in, since everyone seems to just stand around there... despite Alain saying they're confined to their quarters all the time. Eeek. Have to go check that again.

But indeed, I think one needs to really take into account Hawke's influence here. I don't see it still being Cullen's PTSD controlling his actions, but instead his need for direction. He's still not acting on his own conscience at this point, but following orders, with significant influence from Hawke. Also, it's not his call either.. I believe he asks what recommendation he should take to Meredith, acknowledging that in any case it's Meredith's call.

That's a good way to describe it! Yes, this! I would love the first one to be the dam bursting. Maybe not quite as wall throwy as Fenris's, but definitely with him taking control. I don't care if he's a virgin or not, I'm over the uncertain stuttering. He may not really know what he's doing, actual technique-wise,  but if he's acting on strong emotion, I'd like to think he'd figure it out pretty quickly. Then the second time could be slow comfortable, with the PC showing  him a few things.

Ooh, meanie, I like this one!  It would be cool to have some actual myster/drama/quest around his parentage. This idea would certainly provide an interesting counterpoint to Cullen's views. Cool!

I thought it'd be fun.... esecially if you didn't know the quest was coming. Love some soap opera drama. Dun dun duuuuun!

[LolaLei]

LMAO! That picture isn't far wrong!

I was asleep... Until I got a phone call about a job interview, so now I'm awake after 3 hours sleep lol.

[LolaLei]

Meanweenie: Wouldn't his dads brain be shot to sh!t after being locked up with no lyrium for years? That would actually be awesome! Like we find this crazy ex Templar dude in a dungeon who starts rambling on about a son and it turns out to be Cullen.

[R2s Muse]

On his parentage... I have so many ideas knocking around in my head now, I'm not sure what's my favorite anymore. I used to like the orphan, no history thing, but now I'm thinking it would be cool for him to still have roots somewhere. All we know is that he's Fereldan, so I imagine him being someone middle to lower class.

Given his diction, he might be slightly more middle... but then I see a career templar like him being given an education at the Chantry. So maybe joining the templars is a way to improve your social standing a bit, you know... like he's the first in his family to go to college, as it were.

I was flirting with the idea once that in his "spare" time he goes back to the old family farm to help out in his spare time and maybe sends part of his paycheck there. It could be something he doesn't talk about or share, but isn't ashamed of, either. They're a close-knit, down to earth family, and that's what grounds him. They're extremely proud of him for how he's 'movin' on up' and... for a little drama, let's say he never told them about Broken Circle and being committed to the Chantry in Greenfell.He doesn't want them to worry.

Given his rank, I do believe he's gotten a top notch education, including etiquette - both political and societal. Maybe you're right and it could be a way to improve social standing.

If he did have a family I would have no doubt that he'd be sending a check every month to his mama. (like Clark Kent)

It'd be like finding out the crazy ass hermit in the Brecillian Forest was your dad! LOL You wouldn't know what the heck he was talking about half the time and then all of a sudden he'd spout out something totally coherent and profound. There would have to be one thing he prattles on about that you think is complete nonsense until later in the game and we're all like "Ooooooooh! THAT'S what he was going on about!"

Edit: Be back later. Time to make some breakfast for the monkey.

I'm likin' this idea. Someone may  need to write that!

[VampOrchid]

U know what, all those romance ideas are great, but I would also like imports to affect the Li part of the story...let's say u import ur games n it includes the mage warden from dao...n if ur new character is mage he suddenly finds himself having a hard time woth this new relationship...or ur new character is a rogue, he tells u how the only other person he had feelings for is a mage...n depending on ur reply he will either get insulted n leave or continue with the relationship.

I like the idea of real choices with that

[VampOrchid]

And the thing about the heads on posts...does that not answer ppls questions about why he didn't stick up for the mages more? I think its good brain washing technique n good insentive to shut up n do as u r told lol
