The waiting to find out who the companions are is very painful, but either way someone somewhere will be disappointed with the results

I would not think so. I get Morrigan in DA:I Not as a companion mind you but shes there. If that's meant to be fan service that panders to people like me, then so be it. If people wish to swoon over Cullen then why stop them?

For the record I pay to see the reaction here on the BSN if we meet Cullen with a newly wedded wife. The reaction would be worth the money.

I wonder if Thedas wedding vow has the "'til death do us part". :whistle:

One last thing...is there anything beyond fan speculation behind talk of Cullen returning as a companion? Unlike some other rumored companion like Sera, the Iron Bull, and the bearded Grey Warden, I don't believe Cullen has appeared in concept art, trailers, or gameplay videos.


I think it's from the now-obsolete companion survey? Bottom row, second from the right.

There was also a man that looked like him in one concept art. The one with Inquisitor stabbing the map and lots of people around. Some people say it's Cullen and some say the man looks nothing like him Image IPB

Moreover, Greg Ellis leaked on twitter that he voiced for Cullen. It got taken down pretty quickly though. Gameinformer also hinted that a certain "fan favorite knight captain" returning. He's definitely returning.

Please. Are you honestly telling me you'd choose Cullen over that bearded male warden? I'm a girl and I wouldn't. I don't want a templar who will whine about how evil mages are. I want a warden who is not afraid to use any means necessary to achieve his goal.

With that homeless beard? No thx, I'll stick to my Cullen any day over pretty much anybody. Well barring we get someone voiced by Lee Pace, I would romance the **** out of that even if it were a nug.

He is alive (in all scenarios af far as I know), was in both games and even has a character arc. So why not?

Fan service or no, he still is a citizen of Thedas.

I suppose when one party dislikes the character put in-game it's called 'fanservice.'

Coming from someone who doesn't really give a damn if he's in or not.

I'm guessing because a lot of female players want him to, Pamper their Paragons, Grey their Wardens, Circle their Mage, or Satisfy a demand of their Qun.


And male players!
Don't forget us!!!

When I read the title I thought it would be fan service if he had no shirt and had a big chest. I'd like to see a sexy girl with no shirt on now that would be the fan service!

Dude, that stuff is subjective as subjective can be. It's like arguing that you prefer the taste of apples over pears.

You guys are funny :lol: For me, it's not so much about whether I'm attracted to the character... but if my PC is attracted to him/her. I'm a huge Cullen fangirl, but personally yeah I'd choose the Grey Warden. He's a smexy beast, and he looks all strong and capable and sh!t *shiver* But Cullen is an awesome character (in terms of potential and continuing character growth) AND yes he's a fine looking set of pixels. He will go excellently with my inquisitor *rubs hands together devilishly* What can I say, I love gorgeous, well-written characters... lucky for me, that pretty much applies to everything the DA writing team spits out xD

Cullen threads tend to metamorphose into something truly spectacular. You just have to water them a little bit.


I'll get the popcorn, you prepare the troll bait.

To anyone reading this:

Any character you like is horrible, and I will murderknife him. DEVs including them do so only because they are stupid and pander to stupid fans.

Any character I like is great and DEEP.

SO STOP LIKING WHOMEVER YOU LIKE AND START LIKING WHOM I LIKE!!!!!

Lol. Hanasaku Iroha - Nice. :)

Ever since the speculations started over the new companion artwork, I keep reading posters that are assuming he's going to be in Inquisition as a companion.  I will retain my doubts until it is confirmed, but I'll agree that is likely.

"Cullen is just fan service," is the cry I keep hearing.  Why?  What's the reasoning behind calling Cullen a fan service character?

Anyhow, that's my question.  I never saw him as fan service and while I didn't mind the character, he wasn't one of my favorites.  Is anyone willing to take a polite shot at this? 


Well, if he was included solely due to the wants of fans, that'd make him a fan service character no?

To me Cullen is boring/plain. I hope he is not a companion as it would be a totally wasted slot for me. He is like plain, white-toast, you can eat it and it will keep you from starving but you really yearn for something tastier.

Hey, it worked for getting Tali as a LI in Mass Effect 2 & 3. I honestly don't even remember Cullen in either game, that's how much he stood out to me, but if people love him, more power to them. I'll support their right to voice their desire for some hot Cullen luvin' in DA:I.

Cullen fans: *provide thoughtful, passionate, serious, multi-paragraph reasons for why they believe this character has the depth and the potential to fit into the next game*

Trolls: Haha you just want to bone him!

Cullen fans: .... Did you even read what I wrote?

Trolls: Haha fangirls!! Twilight!! Fan service!!!

Cullen fans:  :mellow:


Every DA:I Cullen thread ever. :innocent:
