Well, Cassandra did have a movie with her as the protagonist, so she has
a better standing than Cullen. Granted the movie takes place almost two
decades prior to Inquisition so who knows what's changed about her
since then.

The movie also happens to be garbage.

I really enjoyed and like Dawn of the Seeker.

Agreed. It wasn't perfect, but I still enjoyed watching it.

Sadly it pretty much dashes the possibility of Colleen Clinkenbeard being a VA for the Inquisitor or an NPC since she had an established role in the DA universe: Young Cassandra Pentaghast.

As for loud tears of anti-fans of Cullen - have a mercy! They hoped for a new companion and LI, yet not only they are getting the old one (Cullen is almost confirmed, as we know) but the one they were happy never to see again. And every fangirl's "squee" adds another grain of salt to that wound. All anti-fans can do is cry here "why, BW, why!" in
preparation to inevitable encounter.

You make it seem like his inclusion is due to fan service, and Mr. Gaider has already stated that he wouldn't include him for fan service or making anyone LI because of the fans. If you're talking about returning character, he wouldn't be out of place with Varric (a full-on companion from the last game) and Cassandra. 

And where did you get this from? Out of my sentence "They hoped for a new companion and LI, yet not only they are getting the old one (Cullen is almost confirmed, as we know) but the one they were happy never to see again." ? Sorry if you misread it but I meant exactly what I wrote - we have a returning character and while fans are screaming in happiness, anti-fans are crying. And I think tears of anti-fans are as justified as "squee" from fans. If you look carefully you will find a few upset posts even about Varric's return, and Varric was miles ahead in popularity compare to Cullen.

Yes, DG made it perfectly clear - Cullen will be there for game reasons, not because of fan's request. But he WILL be there. And not only as companion, but as LI - thus occupying one out of 4 precious LI slots. And here is the main difference between him and Varric - again - making anti-fans tears very justified.

As for me I am with bEVEsthda on that one:

But my perspective is that I don't want any  DA2 character to return. Not because i don't like them, but because I want a new game. And that includes a new cast of characters. I know that we'll not get an all-new cast, and I happen to think that's lamentable.

 

It sounds more like whining than justified. The writers will put whoever they want in the game and whether it's Cullen or another character, keep attacking the character and his fans will not do anything. Especially at this point in the development. We don't even know for sure if he's a companion. He's in the game, yes, but so is Leliana. There are no mention of whether any of them is companion.

Because the people who attack Cullen don't want a whiner companion. I doubt his behavior has changed much, barely a year has passed since DA2. He is going to whine about every decision regarding the mages. Although at least in my opinion Cullen would make a perfect none companion romance option, that is if we are going to have such a thing in DA:I. This way his fans satisfied and haters don't get to hate him, at least not as much. Also he'll be much safer from death this way.

There will always be whining characters. That's how the writers present different perspective or insert certain agency. In Dragon Origins, Alistair whines about being king or being evil, Morrigan whines everytime you do good things, Wynne whines everytime you attack the circle. Dragon Age 2 has Fenris, Anders, and Sebastian. David Gaider has stated that he wouldn't do non-companion romance because they wouldn't be as fulfilled as companions. I don't think a lot of Cullen fans want him in the game just to have pixelated sex. A lot of them would like to see him integrated into the storyline because they see potential in his character. I wouldn't mind if people want him dead. If they want to kill him then by all means if the game allows it.

(I will admit to not having read all the pages of this discussion)

Am I the only one who thinks (and wants) Leliana and Cullen to come back as a kind of "ambassadors" from their factions to the inquisition? There could be ones from the different countries, too. Important NPC's, but not companions.

Would that also be considered fan service by the anti-Cullen people?

No, you are not the only one. I would not be surprised if characters acted as ambassadors for each of the factions. Some as companions, like Vivienne and Cassandra, and some as just very important agents, like possible Cullen and Leliana.

I dunno. I found Cullen to be a fairly reasonable templar compared to some of the battier lot that populated Kirkwall. He was at least more willing to step back from his statement about how mages shouldn't be considered people so much as weapons if you insist that there should be some middle ground. Considering the shenanigans that went on in the Circle in Ferelden, I can't really blame him for why he feels the way he does.

Anyway, it's unfair to declare him a whiner companion when we don't know for certain how he will be written, or to what capacity he will accompany the Inquisitor.

Alas, it does nothing to fix the stupid-ninja-Cassandra cutting down dozens of "blood mages" that are so incredibly weak and incompetent that it baffles the mind. Apparently all mages know only to shoot tiny energy balls and love to rush into melee combat.

Also, tons of plot conveniences.

I personally like to have people I hate and hate me back around, call it odd but it makes the game more natural. I liked having Fenris around but I hated his guts, I didn't gave him to Danarius or killed him but I rivaled the hell out of him. If such an option exists I'd like to have Cullen around. He'll hate my guts but will respect me nonetheless.

But of course this is my opinion. Most people who don't want Cullen as companion are people who want as much new peole in game as possible. They don't have personal agenda againt Cullen.

Why do people reach the conclusion that Cullen will whine all the time? He didn't whine about anything in DA2 and bascially took charge of the situation at the end. He seems very well rounded and is no longer the tramutized character from DAO. To make him such would be a total step backwards in his development and I don't see the writers doing that. If anything, Varric is the character that is proven to have conflict concerning the Inquisitor's decsions based on the demo we've seen as well as the pic of Cassandra blocking him from going into the Inquisitor's room.

[KaiserShep]

Fair enough. That said, I do agree that I'd like to just see a whole lot of new people instead, with the exception of Cassandra since she's only the interrogator in DA2. Cullen does seem like he'd be the unfunny Alistair of the group.

So, you are saying that those who are happy about Cullen's presence in the game have all the rights to express their happiness on the forums in any shape and form. However those who are unhappy have to shut up and never show their faces here because nothing can be done and they annoy you with their whining? Nice attitude!

IMO he meant that if you are dissatisfied with Cullen's inclusion there is no point in belittling his fans or making "Don't put Cullen in the game!" threads, because the latter will not change anything and the former is just bad manners. I think people who dislike Cullen should tottaly make "I don't like Cullen" threads, since this is a forum and they should be allowed to discuss their dislike of the character, but they should't rain on others' parades.

Enjoying something and something being good are not the same thing. That's like saying waffles can't be good because they are unhealthy. 
Did I enjoy Dawn of the Seeker? Yes. Do I consider it representative of the DA universe? Absolutely no freaking way.

Talking about putting words in other's mouth. Never did I say that. All I mean is I don't see the use in attacking him and his fans especially when it goes to personal insults like calling them shallow or desperate. If they don't like him, I don't give a flying ----, just don't start flinging insults toward the people who want him in the game. As I said before, if people want the option to kill him if he's in the game then by all means. Attacking Cullen, whatever, he's a pixalated character, it's not like he's gonna get hurt, but the fans are another matter.

I've never understood the whole fan-love for Cullen. I mean, he was a creep in DAO and lot of people seem to forget that in DA2 the reason he has such a high rank is that Meredith approved of his brutal methods and he only got the balls to stand up to her after seven years of her violent reign. What a hero.

Yeah, I'm kinda fed up with extreme, borderline insane companions. Really don't need a nutty Templar added to the mix so hopefully we can kill him or tell him to ****** off in DAI if he does show up for some reason.

I do like Cullen's looks but that's the only thing I like about him. He can turn up as a good character if written well but like said above he has been quite extreme so far, better than other exteme characters but this only makes him best of worst.

tbh I wouldn't say no to rival themed Cullen romance. It will be like how I romanced Fenris. "Shut the hell up and come over here because I have needs, I still hate your guts btw." But maybe that's just me.

Cullen has earned the right to appear in Inquisition but will it be as companion? We have yet to see, don't we?

About insults there can not be another opinion (however I have to point out fans and anti-fans are worth each other on that matter). All I am saying is calling anyone who in not happy with Cullen's return a "rabid hater" or labeling them as whiners is equally wrong. There are totally justified reasons for people not liking him and if we allow one side to express their thoughts and feelings, another side has as many rights to do the same. 
Cullen does not care about fan's praising, but thouse who do not like him - "are another matter."

Not sure if you're making stuffs up but I have never seen anyone called anti-Cullen a "rabid hater". Do you have a link? The game is released this year, so it's not like any of this gonna matter much anyway. Still, feel free to talk about frustrated things that you can't change in the meantime. You have every right to.

Hear hear!

The only tiny part you missed out is that he supports Meredith in her insane orders to slaughter every Circle Mage despite the person who did it was both an apostate and right in front of her. Honestly woman, just run Anders through and be done with it.

And Cullen keeps on helping her slaughter innocent Circle mages. He only steps up at the last moment when she's about to attack Hawke.

I agree, I would like for Cullen to have stepped up and face the all the templars, the champion who defeated the Arishok, and the strongest templar in the city by himself. What a coward.

Btw all I did initially was answering probably rhetorical question of David Gader about "where those cullen's haters got the idea about existence of some special fan-club of his, because all I see is "I hate Cullen" posts while fans are very quiet". I showed that fans are not as quiet as one would think, while haters do have at least one reason to express their disappointment. Then you interfered with a note "You make it seem like his inclusion is due to fan service" (which I did not) adding on top of it a judgmental remark about anti-fans "It sounds more like whining than justified". And thus we came to offtopic about who is alowed to say anything here.

lol, calm down, no need to get emotional over this. BTW, I wasn't the one who said anti-Cullen fans are not allowed to say anything, it was you who put words into my mouth and start a random unrelated conversation. All I said was I don't see the point in insulting him and his fans. How you intepret it as not allowing anti people to say anything is beyond me. Your tone of voice is also aggressive in randomly quoting me. Honestly, your text seems pretty hostile to me, so my tone was a bit aggressive as the result. I'm sure Mr. Gaider can make his own mind and decisions. Recently, there wasn't anymore threads talking about pro-Cullen, but any threads with Cullen in it usually turn negative quickly. A thread just post up around 2 weeks ago became exactly that and got deleted, you can use cache on google to read up on that. I don't see the point of dragging this out and making it off-topic, so I'll stop now. I said all I have to say, and the discussion turned into a broken record at this point. Feel free to have the last words.

To finish that offtopic on a positive note I have to admit, that you had a perfect point about frustration. Actually, should you expand it a bit more I would shut up right away and only quoting you. Something like this: "dear people, who is upset about Cullen's presence - cheer up! Yes, he is there and his presence was planned ahead and inevitable. I feel for you - whether you hoped for something new or simply did not like him, you are disappointed now. However if you concentrate on that feeling you only going to upset yourself even more. Try to think positive. We do not know how the companion system will work this time. So far it looks very promising. So, look at his presence under another angle, like finally you get your hands on him - literally. Probably now you will be able to tell him all your thoughs about his believes, his behavior, his look or whatever bothered you in the past games. May be you even will be able to convert him into pro-mage Templar amending for all wrongs he did to mages in the past. Or may be you even will be able to kill him - who knows. It's a pay back time no matter what companion system we have in place. There was no really bland characters in DA series so far, and you can be sure that Cullen will be an interesting (even if controversial) character as well. Only now you will be able somehow influence him. Think positive and keep your hopes up!"

When was Cullen confirmed to be a companion?Last time I checked it was hinted that he might be in the game but might as well be an important npc or an agent?Did I miss something again?
