squeeing but still annoyed that the debate on companionship continues. (I don't really care if he's a companion or not. I just want the debate to end!)
Interesting.
Don't care about him as a bangable set of pixels, I want to see where his arc goes.
Looks like we're only getting 3 of each class, as far as companions go.

"Your nine companions, classes evenly distributed across mage/warrior/rogue, will be the best of the best."
Cass, Beardy Warden, and Bull make 3. Looks like Cullen's an NPC lieutennant. Still good to have him around.

Are Beardy and IB 100% confirmed? This makes me a bit sad.

Like Sera, the Grey Warden was shown in pre-alpha gameplay footage
But the Grey Warden and Iron Bull have not been officially confirmed so there is still a pretty decent chance Cullen will be a companion ![]()

Did Daveth have multiple concept arts compared to the Grey Warden?

I'm not sure, but wasn't Jowan supposed to be a companion too? I'm just saying, things often change.

I want to like this, but I'm out. So, I'm liking this in spirit.

Well, we could technically have more than 9 companions, but only 9 will actually accompany us through gameplay. Meaning... in DA2 you either got Bethany or Carver, depending on your class choice. You never had both. Maybe you get a choice between Beard Warden and Cassandra, or something comparable to that. (Beard Warden v Iron Bull, Cullen v Warden, etc. etc.)
Just a speculation anyway.
Even though I know I will romance Cullen at least once (I like to do a playthrough for all the romances at least once), I still care more about whether he is a companion or not. Though, I suppose since he is a romance, he will play a large role regardless. I like Cullen and want him as a companion, though I can settle for an important NPC. ![]()
Right now, with the class distribution issue, I'm leaning more towards Cullen being an NPC than a companion.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of him in the group (if he is). Even if we had Alistair before, he wasn't really a Templar. Cullen has way more experience and inside knowledge of it. And it's actually something that hasn't been done yet, as acquainted as we are with the Templar Order.
Out of curiosity. I'm new to Cullen, but any idea who wrote him? Is it the same person who is writing him in DA:I?
I think it was... Jennifer Hepler? She left Bioware, but talented people discovered that she says she wrote one "one major follower and romance character" for DA:I before she left.

So, with classes being evenly distributed, it looks like we could have Cullen as a companion if Iron Bull's a rogue and there's no Cole, or Iron Bull's a warrior and there's no Blackbeard. Something like this, I guess:
Warriors: Cassandra, Iron Bull, CULLEN - no Blackbeard
Rogues: Varric, Sera, Cole
Mages: Vivienne, Solas, DHMG
or
Warriors: Cassandra, Blackbeard, CULLEN
Rogues: Varric, Sera, Iron Bull - no Cole
Mages: Vivienne, Solas, DHMG
If there are folk out there who want Cole AND Blackbeard AND Iron Bull as companions, there's no way to include all three without relegating Cullen to the role of NPC.
Eh, either way, someone's not gonna be happy. It seems time will tell who this someone ends up being.
I was thinking more about this at work today and im trying not to get my hopes up but I really want Cullen as a companion (not in a romance type of way at all) but he was there at the end of DA2 when the crap hit the fan and got the ball rolling in the mage rebellion and he let Hawke and crew go. He probably knew things about what was really going on with the templars, stuff that Hawke didnt know, i think he could be very important just with information and experience. I know that there are weird things going on with the wardens but I think with the story that we know of so far for DAI I think Cullen would make more sense.
Also just because there is concept art doesnt mean they are a companion, the bearded warden could be someone that helps you for a while or maybe has info on our wardens. who knows though. XD
let the guessing game continue.
I get the impression they confirmed Iron Bull as a two-handed warrior at PAX, though.

Iron Bull has a chance getting kicked out my group before Cullen. At least I know Cullen would have clear views and strong beliefs. I don't know what to make of Tal Vashoth (or Qunari for that matter). My first character might be a warrior anyways. I don't want to a glut of warriors.

My ideal would be:
Warriors:
Cassandra
Iron Bull
Cullen
Mages:
Vivienne
Solas

Rogues:
Varric
Sera
Cole
