Cullen has always been very diplomatic, even kind-hearted. I can't see him getting into a screaming match with anyone, to be quite honest. I see him getting along with most members of the inquisition, and if he truly dislikes someone, I can at most see him perhaps giving the person a cold look or speaking very stiffly to them before entreating the inquisitor to see things his way.
 
So with Sera, like you said, I can see them clashing on an ideological level, but I don't see him disliking her at all, and considering his origins (that of a recruit who worked his way up to his current position in 10+ years), I don't see her regarding him as one of the heartless members of the privileged class.
 
But, I could totally see something like this happening:
Cullen: I hate to say it, Inquisitor, but we must burn the entire city. There is no other way to close the rift. The fate of all the surrounding holdings and villages are stake.
Sera: What?? No!! You can't do that! There are innocent people still living in those slums!!!
 
Etc, etc.


Huh Interesting point. I guess I don't know what his actual position will be in DA:I and how privileged it might seem. While he presumably started out as a recruit, he actually rose through the ranks to second in command rather precipitously. If he eventually became a knight-commander, he *might* be considered quite privileged. Particularly given somewhat monolithic and pitiless image templars have, I could also imagine her taking an instant dislike to him. And then him eventually winning her over once she learned how moderate and thoughtful he is (and totally freaking awesome...).

Actually can we divide the party along the lines of companions favouring utilitarianism vs altrusim.  That might be a bit of a thing.

Sorry. I had something of a reputation for shipping LIs in ME?

Hmm, I don't know that we know enough about most of them in this regard. Ultimately, I guess everyone working for the Inquisitor is working for the greater good. But then, Varric and IB seem rather mercenary in their approach. Vivienne seems not so much practical but scheming, with an agenda of her own. Solas, DHMG, Cole, BW, dunno. Cass, practical, but for the greater good? Who am I missing? Oh, duh, Sera.

Well, despite everything, it's been a pretty exciting day. All the new trailers and we finally got to hear the Femquisitor's voice. I am, however, a bit depressed... I'm now coming over to the Cullen is an advisor. (Yes, I was still holding out hope that he would be a companion.) The last shot in the Femquisitor trailer that shows everyone, he's grouped in the back with Leliana and Scribe Girl. :crying:

Am I wrong in thinking they were going to allow Dwarf protagonists as well?

 

Yes you can be any race this time.

 

LOL Bite your tongue!

 

:P Maaaybe if we don't romance either one, they go for each other?? *ducks*

This is true I think! Let's see...

 

Utilitarianism:

Cullen, Vivienne, Cassandra

 

Altruism:

Varric, Sera, Blackwall, Leliana??

 

Unsure:

Iron Bull, Dorian, Solas, Scribe

Bleeccchhh sorry, I just don't like the idea of companions/npcs getting together. Cuz then I'd feel as though that were canon and my character wasn't meant for those LI's. Hence, my character wouldn't romance them or it would feel extremely awkward for me, kind of like my character was a homewrecker.

Yes, but! 

 

We see him in the first trailer *with* the Inquisitor, obviously combat ready. So, maybe we're underestimating what "advisor" means for this game? :) Everything seems (to me, anyway), to point to these three as being actually really important to us. And this pleases me. :)

Hmmmm I like the term "Faction Leader" as opposed to advisor, seems more hands on to me.

Damn it - I can't remember the name of the damn thing but it means when others benefit but you act in your own self interest.  I think it's our missing category.

Egoism.  Thank you rusty old brain cells....why did I drink so much in my youth!!!!!

 

Divide the companions into these ethical categories.

 

Utilitarianism (favours the greatest good for the greatest number of people)

Cassandra

Leliana  (a little dicey - she may actually be altruistic in her approach.  I'd like that because that way I can swap her with Dorian here and that would be more interesting to me)

Cullen

Blackwall

 

Altruism (good for others)

Sera

Varric

Dorian (can't be egoism - don't think they'll put so many in the utilitarian camp)

Solas (I'm just making stuff up now)

 

Egoism (good for me - may also be good for you but it's the me thing that's the important part)

Vivianne

Iron Bull (he's explicitly rejected the whole Qun collective thing I think this will probably place him somewhere here)

Cole (he's probably only doing what he thinks is best for Rhys (I know this sounds like altruism but it's not, this will take too long to get into so you'll just have to trust me), I can't see him falling into any other category based on what I've read)

Scribbles (I'm just making stuff up now)

 

That leaves us with Solas, Scribbles and Dorian.

 

Dorian according to the survey wants to fix Tevinter and was a Magister so he's not going to fall into egoism - what's in his interest is to stay and eat as much cake as he likes in Tevinter.  Wouldn't it be interesting to have him plonked in utilitarianism - that would be something we haven't seen before, a mage advocating for greater restrictions on mages for the good of others.  I kind of like the idea but we'll see, also utilitarianism is kind of full seeing I forgot Blackwall earlier - he's probably altruism.

 

The other two, there's no way of knowing but based on absolutely nothing at all except for an equal distribution and the association of Scribbles with money I'm guessing Solas for altruism and Scribbles for egoism.

 

You know I rather hope this whole thing holds water.  Anyway, it's amused me for longer than I'd care to admit and so has been of value for that alone.

 

Edited - way too many times to make a big thing over but seeing I think I'm pretty much the only person still reading this and I already know, who cares.   :)

That bottom right response looks like "release him, Leliana"     :huh:
 
*meh  :ph34r: *

Hm, I think I'll stick to humans again :)
I wonder if they are talking about that amulet Dorian was using on the Fade Breach.
