2.) Is this topic really at 8 pages? Really?

Why do people like Fenris? Why do people like Merrill? Why do people like Aveline and Saemus and the Arishok? Why do people like Sten, or Wynne? I find little to nothing likeable about those characters and it perplexes me that anyone's opinion should differ from my own, which is obviously the only correct one.
Why does anyone like anyone? It's personal taste. It doesn't matter what reasons people have for liking Cullen because obviously you just don't see those reasons.

A better question might be how one intriguing character with great growth potential manages to provoke insecure males to begin countless whinge threads.
No one has confirmed Cullen's inclusion in DA3, but one way or another, OP is going to have to face the possibility that the game will include characters that interest others more than him.
flames bait isn't cool bro.

Not insecure, it's wierd that anyone would like a character like Cullen he doesnt do anything besides be paranoid and prejudice. The rouge mage offering quests in the city with the reward sack had just as much potential to "grow as a character" yet you don't see boards about him, and he even had a very silly hat to laugh at.
you have two counts of flame bait in your post 1.) calling the op insecure 2.) passive agressively calling him selfish.
I am in favor of the OP's post. He asked a legitamite question if you don't have an actual answer don't say anything.
If I asked "why do people like sten?" I could expect the answer 'because no" or "he's a big softie" but there isn't really a reason to like cullen that I'm aware of, unless youre in to the whole paranoid and prejudice thing.

He's got potential, assuming Bioware actually deigns to give his past involvement in both Annulments some major attention.
To be specific, his complicity in allowing Meredith to be the de facto Viscount of Kirkwall for 3 years and his part in the unjustified Annulment of several hundred mages -- if not a couple thousand due to the influx of mages from Starkhaven.
He needs to be wracked with guilt, if only to make him seem believable given his history. That's from a writer's analysis, but really it's obvious it needs to be done that way.
Plus, fangirls love angst.
And for the love of Christ, make him actually competent instead of oblivious.

Because he doesn't appear often and is rather "mysterious", making him the perfect breeding ground for hipster bacteria.

I'd also state that, based on what he's said in the past, he needs to be very much of a bumbler around women -- or women he finds attractive, I think.
I was more under the impression that the women at the Rose had simply refused to talk to him. I'd have to check the scene again, but I believe the term he uses to describe them is "unhelpful" or "uncooperative", or something along those lines.The Ethereal Writer Redux wrote...

No matter his sexual orientation, he should really just be unable to talk to women without babbling incoherently or blushing and looking away -- while with male characters he's fine around them.
It'd actually be really weird to see Cullen not do that, in all honesty. I mean, that's... pretty much what I've come to expect of him given the Mage Origin and his embarassment about trying to talk to the women of the Rose.
Or maybe he just gets embarassed around really sexual women, and not women in general.
I dunno. I'm not a Cullen expert.

It's been seven to ten years since the mage origin.

He seems to have still been shy around ladies in Enemies Among Us, where he's very bashful about his attempts at talking to the ladies there.
Still, those happen in a relatively subsequent timeline -- roughly a year or two -- so perhaps he has grown out of it. Maybe he can talk to women he finds attractive -- or are very Isabela-esque in what they say -- and has no problems with it.
And for reasons I don't know, I just can't fathom that being the case. It seems so... un-Cullen. I truly can only see him as a person that can't talk around women. That's part of his character to me.
Cullen gets sexier as he ages:wub:, haven't you seen him in DA2?<3ސ<3Fast Jimmy wrote...

One thing that I think is overlooked for this thread, among many others is... everyone has to be approaching their 40's at this point!
Morrigan, Cullen, Sten, Allistair, the Warden... they were all 20-something's in DA:O, I'd wager. Well, its been ten years since then. Which puts them all in their 30's, possibly in their late 30's.
Now, nothing is wrong with people in their late 30's, but I think people are just forgetting that if we get a new protagonist, chances are they will be a fresh face in their early 20's again (just like always), so a Cullen LI will be robbing the craddle, more or less.
Just an observation. People seem to forget that a lot of time has actually passed between the first game and the third, time which has aged all of the characters.
