Cullen had a small part in DA:O and lots of players (probably mostly those who played female mages) went squee over him when he blushed at their flirting.

No, aside from his PTSD-induced "Rah rah! Mages bad!" thing, I also found him extraordinarily bland.Please tell me I'm not the only one that finds him rather bland? Or would rather see him in for story reasons vs a potential love interest?

He'll give you his Sword of Mercy.

To be honest, Cullen was at two of the biggest magical fiascos of the century, both of which were Annulment scenarios. He has seen both a liberal regime in Ferelden, and an extremely conservative one in Kirkwall. Plus, he was there when the events in the Gallows came to a head. Short of a DA2 companion like Varric, he has just as much insight into the conflict as anyone else. Yes, he is physically attractive. So what? Cullen has a niche in the story no one else can really lay claim to.

All I ever see in him is the PTSD. Which I have quite enough of dealing with in real life.

How is he physically attractive? His head in comparison to other characters, even those like Alistair and Carroll who look very similar? Or in comparison to every other male human body, with or without templar armour on, despite the fact that they are exactly the same, minus skin colour?
If it's his head, then why isn't Carroll popular? You could easily mistake them for each other, had one of them not reappear in the sequel, and a noteworthy part in both. If it's the body, then you know...
I have a question for Cullen fanboys and girls: what is it you like about Cullen, and can you even explain what his personality is, without bias? I can explain the latter part, myself. He's a nice person who doesn't judge others blindingly, inspite of evidence against their opinions, is affected by past events, and has few if any other noteworthy personal traits. He is thus, no different than most general people in real life, and a fair amount of people in the Dragon Age universe.
I'm really not gonna describe what I consider physically attractive in a guy. As for what I find compelling intellectually, I want to see his character development, since he has been at the two biggest magical events in the past decade, the Annulment situation at Kinloch Hold and in the Gallows. He was at the heart of this conflict when it began.Orian Tabris wrote...

Honestly, I like Merrill because she's cute, naive and I have a thing for elven girls. Oh, and I was the very first non-BioWare staff member/family/friend to know that Merrill had been confirmed as a companion (by Chris Priestly). However, I never make threads about her, and I only ever defend her or talk about her in threads about her. I never preach about how good (I think) she is.sandalisthemaker wrote...

I find it hard to take you seriously. You obviously like Merrill enough to have her name plastered all over you sig in all caps, and yet you question why some people would like Cullen.

The heart of the conflict was Hawke, Meredith, Anders and Orsino (well, maybe not Hawke). Cullen was really just an observer who was faced with the culmination of the conflict. Much like say, one of the companions.eluvianix wrote...

I'm just wondering why there has to be a thread to be made about Cullen almost every month.
I've been here for months. I haven't seen one yet. I read these forums daily too and have been since about November.

My point is, and really this is just a general throwing-it-out-there for all the "Why the hell is Cullen popular?" threads- you like Merrill. Some people like Cullen. There's really no need to question why. People like things.
His face is, in my opinion, incredibly generic. That is to say, average. As it turns out, however, "average" actually is attractive. As shown in this video(alternatively, skip ahead to 40:40 for the actual pictures, but for full context, watch from where linked, but watch until 41:40 regardless).How is he physically attractive? His head in comparison to other characters, even those like Alistair and Carroll who look very similar?

Sorry, I meant explain what his personality is, without bias. Not what it is they like about him, without bias.Maria Caliban wrote...

Preferences are subjective and irrational.
