So question, how many of you are hoping that if Cullen is a companion in DA 3, or even just a NPC, that he has left the order completely? I'm talking totally denounced the templars, working to make a new system based upon his own beliefs.
If the Templars have done what we've speculated they've done, I really hope he's taken a step back to sincerly evaluate his position in the ranks. Which also brings into question the whole lyrium addiction issue. Do you think that's something they'd cover during gameplay, or just something mentioned in passing while having a conversation? It'd be hard to address it as a major issue as it would make him seem weak whilst having to fight a war alongside the Inquisitor.
Good questions. I think it could go several ways for him after DA2. He could still be a templar and have to struggle with what the new Order means and whether he wants to continue in it. Or he might even have been thrown out after his insubordination with Meredith. I'm six of one and half dozen of the other right now with my favorite idea.
In either case, he would end up without official templar affiliation and thus without lyrium supply. Personally I have a hard time imagining it hard to track some down since it seems to grow on trees and flow down steams in Thedas during gameplay. Seems he could wrangle some up from all the various smugglers and whatnot. If it's harder than that... could be interesting.
If it is harder for him to find, then I hope that they definitively address his lyrium struggle instead of brush it under the rug. But that said.. I don't want to see it first hand... could be too many viewings of Less than Zero, but the drug addiction storyline isn't one that appeals to me. I'd rather they deal with it off screen as it were... like maybe in the intervening years since Act 3. Ideally I could see him having gotten over his addiction when you meet him... but still having difficulties being exposed to it. That could lead to some interesting drama, particularly in the Deep Roads.
