Assuming that Black-and-Red Guy and Black-and-Red Girl aren't the default main characters, what's the thread's opinion about our (possibly) avaliable gentlemen?

I think, just from this picture, that staff guy looks the most interesting. The Grey Warden also looks decent, especially if the rumors are true and he really IS Stroud, complete with his amazing voice actor. And as I'm pretty sure that black-and-red guy is probably some sort of PC prototype, I don't have much of an opinion on him. He looks kinda generic.

I'm not really a Cullen fan, so it'd depend a lot on how (or if?) he's changed from the last game to this one.

So, basically, almost exactly what Plaintiff said.

Let's take a look at our possible options!



This is from the leaked survey, so we can't really take anything for granted. You can use ctrl + mouse wheel to enlarge the picture. We have Beardy Guy, Black-and-Red Guy, Staff Guy and Cullen Guy.

Assuming that Black-and-Red Guy and Black-and-Red Girl aren't the default main characters, what's the thread's opinion about our (possibly) avaliable gentlemen?

The top line I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure the second one in is supposed to be Cole?  His character summary was featured in the survey, so one of these pictures allegedly went with it & that's the only one that looks somewhat appropriate.  He has a hood on, too, so it could be hiding his blonde hair.
Doesn't look like a woman to me, anyways, but my picture quality is bad.

Hmmm...the top second one and the bottom second look like female/male versions of the same person (armor looks the same, just styled different because of the gender difference), so it feels more likely to be the protagonist then a companion.

Oops, derp, I meant to say that the bottom line 2nd in character looks like a lanky male to me as opposed to a female, and could be Cole.  I've zoomed in to the picture and can't make out if it's a female, but I agree the outfits are similar. 

If it were the player character, I guess that confirms that they'll be going for a rogue as the "default"?  Makes sense since DAO = warrior, and DA2 = mage.  The male looks a lot like Hawke, though...don't know if I'd like something so similar glaring at me from the coverbox.

EDIT - also, out of those remaining options I'm visually more attracted to Cullen, but Mr. Staffy looks interesting.

Just keep in mind the leaked survey actually confirms nothing. The survey was just an interest group study and many devs have stated in various threads that any information in that is outdated, not official and may or may have never even been up for discussion for the actual game.

It's a starting point for speculation, but nothing's confirmed about anything.

If I had to make a guess off of this (since, as said, it's mostly outdated), I'd guess that going clockwise: Stroud, male PC, ?, Dorian, Sera, Cullen, fem PC, and Cassandra. If I had to guess LIs, I'd say we'd be getting Sera, Cassandra, Cullen, and Dorian, all bi.

That said, I'll get on topic! If Cullen and Dorian are going to be our M/M LIs, I'm...not very excited. I'm indifferent with Cullen, and kind of interested in Dorian, but now that people have been bringing up the possibility I think I might like Cole for a LI, if he's actually in the game. He sounds intriguing...but then again he does have some issues, going by the book. And is possibly a demon? I haven't read it, just going off what I've read on the forums.

Yeesh, we need new information instead of stewing over this leaked stuff! I was hoping we might get a confirmation of LIs today since I think Gaider said they were already chosen, but I guess not.

I don't think they would reveal anything until at least the end of Q2. David Gaider stated that he wanted to be fair to everyone, so I'm guessing that we would have as much option in M/M as other people.

Do people actually want to romance the Grey Wardens despite their fate? Eventually they will leave you and die in the Deep Road. The Grey Warden looks pretty aged already, so his time would be up soon.

As wonderful as that would be, I assume romances wouldn't be announced before any of the companions had even been announced.

Still, based on the tiny amount of possible, potential, outdated information we have, I agree with your assessment (Dorian, Sera, Cassandra, and Cullen).

Why is homophobia not tolerated?

Or a more appropriate question, why is disliking homosexuality a ''phobia'' all of a sudden?

^This. I totally agree with. 
More information would be great. I can't wait for the promotions and trailers to come out, so I can stop thinking about what they'll do with this game. 

Dorian and Cole both could be great LIs.
Cole with the whole demon thing and I like that description of Dorian's more sly personality. We don't get enough demons and sneaky people in the LI department. 

Cullen is still moping about that female Amell mage he met in his youth xD

[CuriousArtemis]

I like the thought of having a Tevinger mage to romance. But Dorian's description really turned me off. He seems a bit too sure of himself and really egotistical. Not very "cute" in my mind lol

But again, as others said, that survey is old and possibly not official. I'm not even positive that Cullen and Cassandra are companions, let alone LIs.

She never existed in my playthroughs so no worries there 

[Battlebloodmage]

My Amell was a male but was a mod file, so I giggle a bit when he talks about his crush on the warden. I would love for Cullen to be a companion, but if it's not possible, I wouldn't be upset since it was an assumption on our part that he would be one. It seems like a lot of people in this thread don't care about him anyway.

[catharsisboo]

I interpreted Dorian's description differently--more along the lines of laid back, since he "delights" in being not what you'd expect a Tevinter magister to be like. I think he'd be kind of like Anders from DAA: strong and he knows it, proud, but a bit silly, and also very aesthetical.

His name is a big tip off. I forget where I read it, but apparently his surname (if it stays the same) means "peacock" in Latin or a language along the lines of that. His given name makes me immediately think of the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and, by extention, Wilde himself: Very flashy, very witty, very fashionable, and just the right amount of insufferable!

I may not be particularly interested in him, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't empathize if he wasn't a major player in the next game. I remember how badly I wanted Anders to be in Dragon Age 2, and how over-the-moon I was when it was confirmed he would be.

[Battlebloodmage]

Since he's a Tevinter mage, it looks like he may be evil. I would love to romance an evil and selfish mage again, Morrigan's romance was pretty fun.

This. I don't care about Cullen one way or the other, but I would def. empathize if he isn't a companion in DA:I, since his fanbase is really excited for him to be there, and hoping to romance him properly.

Truth be told, I want Cullen to be an option, but I'm afraid of how he may turn out. Merrill and Anders both changed a lot since we first saw them in DAO. I should probably be glad if it does happen, but I kinda forming all sort of backstory for him, it would be interesting how he would actually turn out though.

That's true! I too wouldn't mind if he was though.

It's so hard to say right now. Based on part of the description, "on a crusade to rid his homeland of its corruption," I assumed he'd be a, well, non-evil magister.

Unless "corruption" means "elves" or "non mages" or something else equally horrible. And at this point, your guess is as good as mine.

Heck, he might not even be a companion.

Speculation is fun!

Mmmm, maybe he is evil and think that the current ways of the Magisters are stopping them from world domination? Maybe he wants to bring the Empire to the glory of old

[catharsisboo]

Speculation is my bane, honestly. I end up getting so worked up over a character and then when they show up, I'm let down. Go back one year and you'd see me getting excited over the prospect of a ManShep/James romance. (But that's okay, I can keep headcanoning they get together after the game...)

Anyway! I've been thinking about Cullen. What is it about him that interests people? Is it from playing a F!Amell? If he's a LI, what would you hope for in his romance?

Modifié par catharsisboo, 14 février 2013 - 10:38 .

[Battlebloodmage]

I'm hoping they would break away from the usual one human one elf mold in the next game. Maybe both are human or one is human and the other is a kossith. Speaking of kossith, how would you guys feel about a romance with them?

I think he's gonna be a hipster magister.  He'll be all; "Owning slaves? Ugh, SO mainstream!" and he'll wear PANTS not robes. And he'll go around saying to other mages "I wear this thing called PANTS. You've probably never heard of it."

Anything is possible, at this point. Personally, I hope he really IS the "good guy trying to right wrongs" type of character, though I know that this can be dreadfully boring to others.

Morrigan wasn't even really evil, and I couldn't stand her.

That's just me, though.
