Sorry if this is somewhat irrelevant but I've been following this thread religiously for days and felt the need to air my views (:

RE the war room concept art.. I'm really not convinced it's Cullen. The only thing that says "Cullen" to me is the little bit of stubble and the short hair. Regarding the armour he's wearing.. take a look at that armour (blue tunic with one-shoulder pauldron, brown leather gloves and brown leather strap) -- and compare that armour to that of the grey warden in the leaked survey art and other concept art that includes him. It's almost TOO alike. Wouldn't Cullen be wearing some form of Templar Armour? OR something that at least resembles the armour in leaked survey art.

Also another point on Cullen being a companion -- he was written by Jennifer Hepler in DA2.. she left in August 2013 after writing a major companion and a romance. And wasn't Greg Ellis called to do voice acting a lot earlier than anyone else we know of?

Finally. Romances. IF Cullen wasn't a companion, and say.. moustache guy and "grey warden" or Cole (or even an unknown female) got the final 2 spots.. who would be the 2 female inqusitor romance options? Solas, I'm betting, and a human male. The only other human males being grey warden -- who is evidently too old to romance imo and extremely unlikely -- or moustache guy. I can't see them giving us 2 mages to romance.

But yes. Just had to vent. (:

 

EDIT: Oh, and if anyone is likely to be a "military advisor", I'd say the seasoned, experienced fighter that is the grey warden would be more qualified than a templar, no?

IB wasn't confirmed as anything and beef bourguignong is not a fancy name for a beef stew. It's a traditional French recipe made with red vine.

I guess I was mistaken about IB, but no need to be so serious about the matter.  We're comparing companions to food for flip's sake.    Let's try to have some fun with this, okay?

 

I'm sorry, but beef bourguignon is simply fancy beef stew made with wine.  It's not very easy to get right, and has some fancy ingredients, but it's really just good ol' fashioned comfort food. I've had it a few times before, and it's great on cold nights.

 

Edit: Is anyone else having issues with the forums?  When I load a new tab, sometimes it loads and sometimes it doesn't.  I do have ad-block, I use Chrome and it's only with this site.

You're referring to Dramatic Hands Mustache Guy in the blue/white.  The most current hypothesis is that DHMG is actually a mage, due to some of his other art. The one fans think is Cullen is to his right, just behind the Inquisitor.  As you can see by the War Room picture, "Cullen" is in plate armor.  "Cullen" also has a very Templar look in the old survey art as well. 

 

I'm not sure what your second point is here at all.  There have been several folks that agreed that if Cullen is getting into the game, he'll be a LI option. It isn't set in stone of course, but that's the general consensus. The two remaining female Inquisitor romance options will likely be ladies.  I suspect that our blond elf archer will be one of them.   Plus, we did have two mages to romance in DA2, so I can see them doing it again.

 

By the way, not all of us think that the Grey Warden is too old to be a LI.  Some of us would prefer that quite a bit actually. 

 

I'm not a huge Cullen fan, but you've really sold him short.  Cullen isn't just some fresh recruit off the street somewhere, and has seen both the templars and the mages at their worst.  If he isn't a companion, I think he'd be our view into the current state of the Templar Order.

True about a templar (or ex templar for what matters), not being the best candidate for a military advisor.But still in this case, it's his ability to be impartial that is in question not his ability to command an army...The templars are an army after all and Cullen was a high ranked officer in DA2,which implies that commanding troops and advising the inquisitor about military matters is not entirely out of his element.As for the concept art I believe it's indeed Cullen(not 100% sure though to be honest)otherwise,why would they make a new character that bears such  striking resemblance to an existing one.Though what can I say I'm in the group that actually wants Cullen as companion,so I hope you're right and I'm wrong...Lol!

[Lorien19]

We had Indeed!But not of the same gender...Though this applies if we indeed get Solas as a LI,which I think is more likely.

Ah, that must be assuming that DHMG is a LI, which I highly doubt.  And since we've got only one lady in any of the art that's a mage (and reminds me a bit of Morrigan,) I'd say the mage LIs are going to be Solas and Vivienne.

I wonder if Vivienne will be a romance option? I definitely want her to be, but didn't BioWare say somewhere that they're going to have the same amount of romance options as before, so four people? Meaning that only two of the three -- Cass, Viv, and Sera -- could actually be romanced. 

I could be remembering incorrectly though.

I doubt it as well for some reason...Unless he's an arcane warrior or something which is even more unlikely lol...

They never said anything about any amount of LIs.  I do know that the LIs that they have are going to be available to the player regardless of PC gender again (per Gaider's blog,) but that's all that's known.

I believe it was said that the would not expand the resources spent on romances, which is why I think it's fair to assume the amount has not changed.

I was sure we'd heard for certain that David Gaider is writing two romances, but we don't know who.

That was probably what I was thinking of then. Thanks!

[The Elder King]

That was said in January/February before the delay. It could be that they decided to expand the content and make 6 LI.
I woudn't bet on it, but it's still a possibility.

I don't think I made myself clear (?) -- apologies.

I was implying I feel Cullen IS a companion (and I want him to be).

My point with the armour in the war room is that "Cullen" seems to be wearing armour that looks almost exactly like what the grey warden is seen wearing in other concept art and the survey art. In other words, we don't know it is Cullen in the war room at all. I'm thinking there's a possibilty it's grey warden. And since David Gaider clearly said that "many" of those in the war room are actually npcs, further leads me to think it could be the grey warden.

As for romance.. I was saying I don't think BW would hand us 2 male mages to pursue a romance with (forgetting the female LIs.) It doesn't seem quite.. right(?)

 

And as for selling Cullen short, I never intended for it to be percieved as such. I was merely stating that I feel the grey warden would be the more suitable candidate for military advisor.

Sorry if I caused any confusion.

[Grieving Natashina]

I've been using a lot of careful language for the most part in the thread.  That's why I'm tricky to say absolutes because as you guys have seen, I have an iffy track record with that before my second cup of coffee.

 

At this point, I'd rather have at party of 5 men to 4 women versus the sausage fest this is shaping up to be.    

 

Also, what is up with posters today?  Everyone is so literal minded.  Did too many posters get burned out on April Fool Jokes?

 

@Kirsty.  No worries.  However, that's why when the blonde warrior is brought up, I either put Cullen's name in quote or simply say, "The one fans believe is Cullen."

Evidently I am. I thought you were taking about posters -- like movie posters or whatever -- when I read that the first time. It's way too long of a day

Everyone seems grouchy over the OXM thing, which I can understand, I suppose. But I much prefer when we're all getting along, being regularly sassed by Allan.

I heard about the errors in that.  Does anyone have a link to a list that shows all of what they got probably got wrong?  Other than the very common Morrigan misconception?

Endings, Morrigan as companion and Nevarra/FM as locations. For now .

Not so far. If I can pick up the magazine myself I'll make a list, but from what people have been saying it seems to be: They said Morrigan was a companion, but she's not, and also that we will be able to go to Nevarra and the Free Marches, but we won't.

They also claimed that we were going to visit Nevarra, but that's not true. Like blatantly said something like "This image takes place in Nevarra" when that could not possibly be true

I knew about the endings, but I did see Mike's tweet that cleared that up.  His tweet reflected my first thoughts about the "40 endings" bit.  I didn't know that they claim one of the screenshots was in Nevarra though.  Man, I though the rumor mill was speeding along before.  That article is going to put nitro in it.

[AlanC9]

Unless the Nevarra  image is from a cutscene and the PC isn't there?

[Grieving Natashina]

I just looked at the images.  They said Nevarra based on two images, one of them in-game (showing Cass) and one other that could have been a piece of art from anywhere.  It looked in-game, but not from a cinematic or anything like that.  I think this is just one of those things that they flat out got wrong.
