@Lola - Really? I think that's why I thought your name looked familiar I haven't been a part of it in so long. It just changed so much since ME3 was released and everyone I knew disappeared from it.

@Samara - Isn't he cute! I love little Gizmo 8D

Yeah, I stuck around for a while, but once ME3 was done and we'd discussed that there wasn't much else to say. Especially since that was the last ever game starring Shepard 'n' co.

But surprisingly, it's still going strong!  Although it's just pictures being posted up and weird conversations haha. The Cullen thread is definitely the best character thread I've participated in :happy:. I hope it stays that way. 

LOL sounds pretty much like our thread... except a lot bigger. Hey, in another year the Cullen thread could be filled to the brim with new squeeling fan girls. Imagine how fast the pages would move then!

If that happens, I'm hoping some previous haters will suddenly change their mind.

Oh if he ends up being a Li that is most likely what's going to happen. And we're going to be like, "We loved Cullen before he was cool." Lol well he's cool already but you know what I mean haha.

I bet some haters are definitely going to change their minds. I just can't understand how they hate a character that not much is known about. Not knowing much about a character makes want to know more about them, not hate them. 

I suspect a small part of it is because he's pretty. I had an ex who actually got jealous when I romanced Alistair in DA:O, he was all like "you want me to look like Alistair don't you blah blah blah" and I'm secretly thinking "no, but I wish you'd behave more like him" (the guy would behave like a real tosser to me)... funnily enough, he actually looked like Kaidan. Pity he had issues lol. :-S

Oh he looked like Kaidan  hehe.

Yeah I think that's definitely a reason why some hate him. I can't understand people who get jealous over a fake, made up person like that. I'd understand if it's about a real person but that just seems silly to me when they make a fuss over someone that doesn't really exist. But I would definitely want a guy to act like Alistair. He's the perfect (made up) man for me Lol 

I was actually talking about this with my gf earlier today on why she doesn't get upset about me going all squeeally about Cassandra, Morrigan or Isabela and she was basicallly like.

1.) I'm not crazy. 2.) With a world full of ****ty REAL women I don't mind that you have a little crush on someone you can't technically cheat on me with.

I'm going to marry this woman:wub:

He was very beautiful... apart from when he would accuse me of shagging all of sundry, compared me to his ex, give me sh!t about the type of video games I'd play, give me sh!t about what I was wearing, get the arse if I couldn't/wouldn't give him a lift somewhere, get in a strop when he couldn't get any weed etc... Aaaand the moral of that story is, don't date a pot head. Still, he was lovely to look at (and completely mad).

I didn't get the impression he was hinting anything about the future. Just saying we're extrapolating too far for what we've seen up to this point, which apparently he doesn't think is enough for our 20pg essays. .. Yeah, still smarting a bit.

Anyhoo, maybe you've already seen, but cullypie was a the subject of a dragonageconfessions today.  http://dragonageconf...ost/32208059198

That seems a little bit too much of a blanket statement for we Cullen fans, I think. We don't sit and make stuff up about him. We discuss what we know has happened and how that could have affected him. So I think it's not accurate for any dev to say we make stuff up. I mean, Cullen's time spent being tortured by Uldred's abominations may not have been shown but we know it happened and can debate what that may have been like for him, what he thought, how he felt, etc. That alone is worth a 20 page essay.

I think it speaks highly of us to not just take what we're given and roll with it. Instead we try to understand the things we didn't see ourselves. I thought that was what a good game is supposed to do. I know when I played table top RPGs, my friends and I would have long discussion about why a character was the way they were and how such a person with 'X' type of personality would handle it. We all do that with our PCs. We pick a "theme" for how we play our warden's and Hawke's and run that as the canon for the playthrough. I'v done it as hardcore Templar and now as balls-to-the-wall mage revolutionary who's in the thick of it with Anders. It only makes sense for players who get so much value out of the games to analyze and think about the world they're playing in.

So, therfore, we take the events that we know of and ask ourselves what that might have been like. If they wanted to have Cullen be seen in a certain way, they didn't stick to the course well enough. If he was supposed to be mage-friendly and a revolution supporter - they failed... If he was supposed to be creepy, they didn't stick to that. Holding judgment over us for liking a character that's "rumored" to be creepy has no basis when the sole moment of this was in the beginning when it becomes clear he has a crush on the PC. And the way it's done doesn't strike me as creepy. If he'd been like "I watched you during your Harrowing... You're so beautiful when you sleep..." I would have found that creepy. Instead I found his crush endearing because he's doing his job and flustered about it. He didn't try to impose himself on my PC so I didn't take his attention to be creepy. So they failed to make him creepy enough. Now Alrik... he was creepy!

Lastly, the renewed hatred of mages that's supposed to make him the zealous Templar was what they began with Act 1 of DA2 and they didn't stick to that. I've chosen to interpret this as his growth as a character, rather than the devs not being able to decide what to do with them. So. I either want him to be killable or have his arc solved once and for all. I want to know who he is. So far all signs point to him being a decent guy that sometimes does the not so moral thing because it's his duty and he's a soldier who's expected to follow orders. It's also likely the only life he's known so his moral compass was made to point where the Chantry wanted it to. That he comes to his own conclusion of right and wrong is a big deal for someone who was indoctrinated into the Order.

If you've ever seen Stargate sg-1, example that comes to mind is Teal'c. He's a jaffa warrior who was born and raised under the thumb of a false god and who did countless wrong things because his indoctrination told him it was right. He didn't overcome the bonds of his enslavement until he was older  and he had help. Plus he was forever dealing with the things he suffered both as a victim and as the aggressor who was now wracked with guilt. He was directly responsible for taking Daniel's wife from her home and thus is to blame for her fate, which included being made a prisoner in her own mind by a Gao'uld symbiote, and being raped and impregnated by Teal'c's god, Apophis and then nearly killed her own husband, Daniel while under the symbiote's control, which led to her death by Teal'c's hand. Teal'c has to live with a lot! His own family and fellow soldiers spitting on his name and calling him a traitor wasn't exactly a walk in the park either. But guess what? He's a pretty popular character. You can point to his past and go "What about that?" and most of his fans would say "Oh but he changed sides!" We didn't get to see all of us trials, but we know they happened and he's given a free pass because he changed sides.

Cullen just hasn't done this yet. Seeing what he does next is why we're all interested because if it was obvious what he's supposed to be, we'd probably have nothing to discuss. I know I, as a gamer, would have less reason to re-play the games if we knew everything. I don't have a head canon fo Cullen. I think of the possibilities and try to see if I can figure him out.

Fortunately my current boyfriend is much more laid back. He's currently romancing his fem-Shep with Garrus. Earlier on he told Liara and Tali to keep their filthy paws off him. 

(He also spared Kaidan's life and left Ashley on Virmire because he thinks she's a space racist. Legend!)

Lol that sounds like a bad 80's tv series...RACISTS...in space. *sigh*

Anyway I personally romanced Ashley throughout the entire series, but thats because I thought Shepard was SUPPOSED to, but I'm starting to think that maybe Liara was always supposed to be his little love monkey. 

Anyway the only people I romanced were Ashley, Liara (once) and Miranda

Lol. Yeah she definitely sounds like a great girl.
But don't make her wait too long... hehe  There's nothing more disappointing than when you think you're going to get proposed to and...nothing happens Lol. 

Oh I'm sure I just think I'd rather wait until I'm a bit older than 19, know what I mean?

Anywho do you think there will be anyone else that equals Cullen's affections if/when he becomes a companion/LI? I mean once all is done with and he is everything we dreamed of do you think another character could pop up and be as awesome?

I mean how many characters actually returned in Dragon Age 2 that were in Origins and could possibly in 3 and 4 if they even make one?

Oh I might do something stupid like pretend to have us teetering on the edge of a cliff and be like "If we get out of this will you marry me?!"

"Yes!"

"Will you sign this binding contract!"

"Wtf!"

"...Just sign the paper." <_<

Oh wow. You're very young. So yeah, definitelty wait a while longer 

I certainly believe there will be another character that I will like and want to romance. It's happened in every BioWare game I've played so I'm pretty sure it will happen in this one too. But Cullen will always be my first and canon DA3 love (if he's a Li of course). BW sure knows how to write awesome characters. 

Yeah ame, except I'll be having a bromance with Cullen no matter what lol.

You know who I want back even just for a little fan service? Sigrun, the one and only dwarf I ever considered romancing...ever.

[LolaLei]

I'm sure there will be plenty more to come in the future lol. Knowing my luck we'll get Cullen but one of the other companions will catch my eye as well and I'll be like balls, now I want both of them!

I really liked Sigrun too. Much more than that elf girl from Awakening too which I forget her name. It be nice to see Sigrun again even though I wouldn't romance her. Varric has been the only dwarf I would ever romance. Unless they make a better one. But I doubt any other dwarf could beat Varric 

I wasn't keen on the Elf in Awakenings either. Someone I would like to see again is Dagna.
