To all the Charade Amell haters I say this, She gave a really strong vibe for a companion of the future and Cullen fangirls get what they want(which Im cool with), why can't Chatade fanboys get what we want.

I'd prefer he not be a LI because he has stated his preferences and he's not pansexual, but slotting Varric in as a LI strikes me as an easy bit of fan pandering. There are already three semi-confirmed warriors, so Cullen might not make it as a companion. If he is, though, he'd likely be an LI.
Well actually he never stated his preference, he was just obviously into the female mage warden that doesn't mean he couldn't possibly be bi (not that I care if he was or wasn't)
Just because people don't think a character should return as a companion or think there's any strong reason for it doesn't make them haters of the characters. Also, if you're referring to Cullen being a companion, it hasn't been confirmed at all if he is one. And if he is, it's because the writers(or someone important in the team) felt they could do something with his story relating to Inquisition while they didn't care to continue Charade's.KC_Prototype wrote...

You have the right of it.mousestalker wrote...
I can not wait until Cullen romances me.
Wouldn't it be something if he was one of the templars who consumed red lyrium thinking it would combat a large group of malevolent mages or abominations and was now going mad?KaiserShep wrote...
Oh wouldn't it be something if Cullen was married by the time the DA:I story begins.

He shows interest in female mage warden but doesn't for male mage warden
He doesn't have to outright state his preference, he basically just showed it right there

It's not that confusing. There are only so many radically adapt people you can put in a game series with a branching storyline, especially considering those that survive. You'll have a game that will become half cameo after awhile, people complaining that Companion X didn't get as much time as Companion Y, you'll have protagonists that want to sit this one out, or somehow die for the dumbest of reasos. You'll have characters randomly appearing from nowhere, simply because you made eight of them to travel around with Mook of All Mooks for a few yeas. Eventually, it'll stop making sense. Not unless more time goes by, and then the series could no longer be called Dragon Age. There has to be a middle ground somewhere.TheChris92 wrote...

It can and it will. There are only so many reasons to explain why titans among men randomly disappear before it all falls appart. The best way would be to find a middle ground instead slashing everything once it's done.

You think I don't realize that at all? I was the one who advocated against having cameos for the sake cameos if you didn't bother reading a bit back. Going back to one of my previous comments. The choices from Origins hardly impacted the sequel in any way, because most of them like say the ones from Awakening had nothing to do with what was going on in that game. This is why it's enough to at least get some form of epilogue to tell you that the choices you made had some form of meaning, which Origins had. We already realize that choice is an illusion -- As long as that illusion is at least there then we can all have a good time and obviously there'll be people who will have a problem. That will always happen. There are people who wants to kill characters simply because their moral standing goes against the protagonist and they aren't worshipping him like a religious figureheard, which of course is sad but there'll always be people like that. One can't please everyone.Br3ad wrote...

You do realise bisexual people are not just attracted to everyone they ever meet right? Anyway my point was that him being an LI was not more reasonable story wise than Varric because Varric stated a preference and he did not.
Chirs, let's be real. This is BioWare we're talking about. The same people who don't make a set canon for anything that they've personally made. The same people who make fanservice into a selling pitch or even some talk about equality, no matter how cleverly it's disguised. They're going to do their best to please just about everyone, regardless of how they may personally feel about something.TheChris92 wrote...

Yep I do realize that, but the thing is that the mage warden is the same person regardless of gender if Cullen was really bi he would've displayed the same interest to the male mage warden the same as he did the female version
Just like Leliana and Zev did

Cullen isn't ruled out as being bisexual, but I believe it would be safe to say he was written as a heterosexual npc the first time he was written and writers had no idea how popular he would be.

I prefer all new companions, but we're already stuck with Varric and Cassandra. Hopefully that will be all, but the art points to Cullen as a companion. I like Cullen but he had his day.
Gaider has before that they can't please everyone and we already know that so there's really no argument there. But obviously they are gonna try and appeal to as many people as possible and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. They can remove the import system while still trying to please more people. I'm already aware of the ludicrous import system being nothing more than a gimmick -- What's important is the illusion of choices, which I think a game like say the Witcher 2 does pretty well. Something to tell ourselves that we have made an impact, in some way, and if they can do that and at least keep up the illusion. Then that's enough. No developer can be excused of doubt from me. I'm always cautiously optimistic but what Inquisition has shown so far shows promise so that's enough to go on for now but not quite a sell yet.Br3ad wrote...

It's kinda hard to say Witcher 2 gives you the illusion of choice with at least one choice when the second act is completely changed (and the third one to a fair point) with an entirely different setting depending on what you chose unless we're saying everything in the game is an illusion because it's a game and everything's tied to game mechanics.TheChris92 wrote...
