Should we ask DG if Cullen has a surname?


I say go for it, but more than likely  it might be included in DA3

Might give us some kind of clue if he doesn't answer?

Nah, he must be bombarded with Qs. If he doesn't answer... That prob  just means the underwear is his final word for now... :)


I dunno, he's kinda scary! Anyone else brave enough to do it?


Done...you ninny


Thank you dear!

"Torture"
"Duncan's fate in DA3"

To name but a few lol!


Oh only seen a few of those. The unsubstantiated rumor one was also funny. Some clever folk on BSN.

LOL! Well, we've certainly attracted some attention... possibly not the positive kind, but at least everyone's aware of Cullen's popularity now! :blink:

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.

Feels kinda surreal doesn't it. Like, one minute nothing and the next Cullen's everywhere. And what with the announcement and new pieces of info we've managed to find out over the past month or so things have gone a bit crazy in these forums.

I'm gonna be majorly disappointed if all this hasn't bagged us a Cullen as a companion (preferably romancable.)

I want him to be a full companion that left the order. He doesn't seem like the type to just rebel against the chantry, so maybe when the templars were talking about it, he may have spoken against it and was either forced to leave or just simply left after trying to convince them to not go down the rebeling route. And as for the lyrium addiction, hmm, having a tough choice with this, I'd say it might be mentioned since it's not something vital to the plot unless the lyrium has more control than we thought and the chantry will try to use it for something. If neither is the case, then I say it could be part of some side quest where you try to help out with the addiction problem or something along those lines.

About the Iron Bull ... I can't even begin to describe how I excited I am about him lol I find kossith incredibly sexy, and I've been dying to romance one since I first played DA2 (played that before DA:O). So if this Bull guy is romanceable, I will be like ... the happiest girl on earth xD

If Cullen were only available to male characters... I would be pissed off because BW would be going back on their promise to make everyone bi and thus available to all players. I know I'd be just as pissed if he were only available to female characters, so it would be wrong for me to be satisfied with the other way round!!


Sorry, moto! I never meant to imply that the Iron Bull wouldn't be appealing. It's just that I saw the part about him being a heavy drinker and mentally groaned. I've got a definite hangup about the humor value of alcoholism, and unfortunately, it colors my perception more than it should. I'm cool with characters that drink. I totally appreciate Fenris's alcohol problem, and it's one of the reasons my Hawkes are so eager to help him, even if he never asks for help. I just find it hard to accept alcoholism = funny. Seriously, that's the sum total of my objection to the Iron Bull. That, and the whole energy drink thing. Does he taste like apples?

Anyway, I realize this post is several hours past its sell-by date. I'm still catching up.

I think I'd like him to have abandoned the side of the Templar Order that has broken away from the Chantry to hunt mages, but I'd want it to be in a way where he stood up to Lambert or whoevers in charge now and got severely punished for it, where he's had to actually escape for his life or something. 

As for the lyrium addiction, I'd like it to be addressed but it probably won't be simply because as you said he'd need to be strong to fight beside our protagonist. I mean, there's probably not a lot that can be done for lyrium addiction, once you're on it then you're pretty much stuck on it for life, until it messes your body/mind up.

Littlenikki you gave me an idea that if he was in DA3 and all the stuff that went down is over, perhaps in an epiloque it'll say he started a new order based on his beliefs...

I...want him to take a deep look at it, but I want our decisions to determine whether or not he decides to seperate completely from the Order or maybe hope to reform it. I tend to side with whom I feel is in the right unless there is an option to make everyone happy, so though I tend to be pro-mage I actually think that the templars intentions are pure, but they're letting their fear get in the way of good sense. If they can reform and keep the Order "pure" then I'd actually prefer going back to (though heavily modified) version of the circle.

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.

After everything he's seen, I feel that he might officially dissociate himself with certain parts of the order, but still consider himself a Templar.

I don't know if I'm just twisted, but I think I'd like to see Cullen go a bit insane while trying to kick the lyrium dependancy. Like, our PC will try to have a conversation with him, he starts repeating himself without realizing it. Or wakes up thinking he's still apart of the Kirkwall Circle, trapped inside Uldred's cage.

Then again like I said, I might just be a sick individual that enjoys the suffering of her companions Posted Image

I worry that he was at Lambert's meeting in Asunder. I mean, for all we know he could have taken over as Knight Commander after Meredith died, in which case he would've been there to agree or disagree.

... I guess if he disagreed, perhaps he got the hell out of there quick and made his way to the Divine to give her the heads up?

You know, I never thought about it this way. I guess I keep imagining that his split from the new Order would happen early on, perhaps freeing him up to travel with us, instead of it being a later decision that we build up to and help him make. I don't think I could stomach him being part of the Lambertian mage hunt for very long, and I don't see that fitting with my read of his character. On the other hand... the Order is his life.

Hmm.

Still keeping my mind open to the possibility that he becomes a super religious Andrastian revisionist hermit... interpreting her words on his own when the Order seems to subvert their meaning. :P

Hey, thats a good idea. That would explain what he's doing in Orlais.

But if was there in Asunder, we know what he did. He agreed. Under implied threat, but agreed nonetheless. All 15 KCs did.

Could be an interesting opportunity to then tattle to the Divine tho. Then during their meeting, just as she admits to him that she's pro mage herself... kablooey...
