I felt super proud seeing him do his little raised sword thing. I don't think we've ever witnessed him do any sort of celebratory action, let alone watch him lead like that...
This may sound silly, but I was really proud of him when I saw that. To see how far he's come from DAO to now... he's really come into his own. I hope that's had a positive effect on his self-confidence.
Well, Leliana has been through that before, yes? Maybe not dangling from a chain but she was tortured. She's got this!
I actually wondered about that. Leliana has been captured and tortured before. I'm wondering if she's got PTSD issues too, and if this will trigger it?
Cullen/Sera? I can see interesting potential.
Awhile ago I wrote a little story where the Inquisitor walked in on Cullen making out with someone in the library. I never specified who it was in the fic, but I imagined it as Sera. 
Like I said: I hate companion/npc hook-ups. Feels way too canon and as though my character is just an inconvenience and "in the way".
I would actually like it if Cullen had a romance with an NPC if not romanced by the Inquisitor.
Reason being, I really, really want to see Cullen happy after all this time and after all he's been through.
My first choice would be to have him with my Inquisitor, but if that's not possible... I would still like to see him happy.
