You wanna see crazy?  Head back to Origin's Zevran thread.

And Gaider, I will send you a cake if you make him into just another cameo battle you need to do, to tie up loose ends (like Sophia Dryden).

• Zevran wasn't a beloved character from a previous installment
• Zevran didn't have a backstory that involved eating people
• Zevran wasn't possessed by another beloved character from a previous installment
• Zevran didn't blow up a chantry and kill a lot of people

No, I don't think Zevran's DAO thread had a complete and utter meltdown at any point in time that compared to what happened in the DA2 Anders thread.  And did I mention the pages and pages of debate about the meaning of terrorism?  Interrupted by MANWICHES

Who had a backstory that involved EATING PEOPLE?! And how the hell did I miss that?!

Anders short story by Jennifer Hepler

From here

And suddenly I'm alone, standing in a burning forest, with the bodies of templars and wardens at my feet. So many, and I didn't even know they were there. Didn't even know I had killed them, but the evidence is all around me. Not the aftermath of a battle as I've known it, but a bloody abattoir of rent limbs and torn and eaten flesh.

I may or may not have trolled the prelaunch Anders thread with posts best summarized with, "Enjoy romancing a cannibal!"

Blind rage? Shock value?

It was mentioned in the short story. I'm not sure we ever got an explanation as to why it happened. I kind of got the feeling that the short stories were created as a way to introduce us to the characters we did not know - or to give us some insight into the changes the characters had undergone - rather than as a literal history of the character.

It will be interesting to see if they do the same thing with DA3.

...they went full-on Mark Millar's The Ultimate Hulk with Anders' hulk outs, huh?

(Unrelated: how do you see eaten flesh? Shouldn't it be partially eaten flesh or gnawed flesh or something similar?)

It wasn't the only companion thread you trolled (or enraged, don't know if you were serious). Remember Merrill's thread?

As if you haven't eaten something ravenously before, with chewed up bits falling out here and there

Maybe he regained conciousness whilst part way through chewing on some guys arm?

They'd be chewed flesh then not eaten.

Yes, I'm being an ass. Yes, I apologize for it. But that was the first thing about that sentence that stuck me as odd.

Well... maybe he honked it all back up again? I dunno! I'm not the one eating people!

Acceptable.

And somehow more disgusting than just paritally eaten flesh.

I'm expecting your posts (and the rage reactions to them) with eagerness.

[DreGregoire]

You know in all this time I never took that phrase from Anders story to mean that Anders/Justice ate the people he killed as Vengeance. I always took it as a description of the destructiveness of the scene before him.

Anyways, I'm not sure what Anders is doing in the Cullen thread, so more about Cullen.

When Cullen tried to remove Meredith from office he fought along side my PC and he did let my PC go in the end, but by then the templars, appeared to have taken heavy losses. Thankfully getting rid of Meredith stopped the rest of the purge of the Circle, so many survived to tell the tale. I never got the impression that Cullen didn't feel that mages should be free or not. The ending I got didn't give me enough information to believe that all of the sudden Cullen thinks mages should be free to live as they will. If Cullen is a companion and possible love interest it will be very interesting to learn how he even feels he should be involved with whatever it is the main quest is in DAIII.

I wonder if Cullen get's grilled by the Seekers.

Yes, do come to the Cullen thread. Where everyone is actually very friendly and normal. Where we have pleasant conversations about not just Cullen but DA in general and how much we enjoy the games and look forward to the sequel. Where we form friendships and just generally have a good time.

Then for some bizarre reason get called crazy by half the forum. And then people start up Cullen hate threads, the bulk of which are composed of people asking, Why do so many people make threads about Cullen?"

It's like ... fan-shaming lol But shaming fans of your own game, or a game you also love. Just because, I don't know, you're bored or something.

Dregregoire - Cullen did question a couple of times if it were possible for mages and templars to coexist.

As I recall, most of those lines were in Acts 1/2.  By Act 3, most of his dialogue involves soul-searching over whether he's really doing the right thing sticking up for Meredith.

DG has a point. The Dragon Age universe is not kind to its cast members. If Cullen appeared in DA3, there's a good chance he'd be killed, be tortured, be imprisoned, be possessed, go crazy or be corrupted by darkspawn.

I don't think it's possible for Cullen to get a fate worse than Anders', but the writers could always prove me wrong.  Dear Maker, I hope they don't take that as a challenge   And hey, crazy abomination dude and magical fisting elf are love interests.  Why not damaged but still kind of a decent person templar?  He looks pretty normal compared to Anders and Fenris.

A concern that is foremost in his mind I'm sure for the majority of his templar life. I wonder how that changes after the end of DA2 and into the time frame of DAIII. Hopefully we'll at least get some type of mention about him and his views.

He didn't. Angry Pants just likes being a troll.

I read that as "drilled" the first time. And laughed.
