How adorable is MD in the video.
So happy and bubbly.
So, why after 1508 pages of Cullen in this thread and however many prior did NONE of us think, that if we wanted to know about Cullen we needed to track down a female dev. They understand
Oh I can picture it. /lewd
For real though, I have a hard time imagining how his romance would go when I have no idea how his character arc will go or what kind of state he's in when we get him in game, you know? Like, he was a wreck after Origins. If he had been romanceable in DA2, I imagine that would've been part of his romance. Did the events in Kirkwall thoroughly wreck his ****? Is that part of his story this time around? Or did he shrug it off? I think if I knew, I'd have an easier time imagining how his romance would play out.
I really hope it's possible to take a reform and/or Divine-loyal position on the mage/templar war rather than choosing either extreme. That's what my Inquisitor would aim for.
What color are Cullen's eyes in that picture? Have they stuck with the hazel/green color? They almost look blue...
Yeah, I mean beyond that one encounter with him in DA:O when he was young and naive we've only ever seen him behaving professionally or suffering at the hands of blood mages. I can't even picture what he'll be like to talk to in a personal friendly off-duty manner, let alone what he's like on an intimate or flirty level... I like it though, it keeps things a surprise, we know him yet we don't know him.
Exactly, we have only seen very small snippets of the man behind the sword but I agree, I like it too. There would be no fun in unwrapping him if we already knew every little detail about his personality.

Oh man me too. I like the idea of the circle as a school. People that have non-mage parents can go there to study and learn how to improve and gain control over their magic. I think the circle is needed and that Templar's are needed because there will always be people that are corrupt and will use their magic for the worse just like a corrupt person without magic would use money or a blade. I also think it would be cool to have the Circle's removed from under the Chantry and have each Circle run by their own First Enchanter and Knight Commander who would have equal say and equal power (power is the wrong word but I'm tired and can't think of another)............ wait, I'm living in a dream world aren't I?
Thanks Lola!
I just watched the interview part about Cullen... WHEEEEE!!! Okay I am totally stoked about Cullen's romance now! And I am so grateful to Liz for sharing, and to the lovely interviewer whose name alludes me right now, who did all the asking. 
Btw does anyone here watch Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer? I hope he keeps doing them when DAI comes out! I'm pretty sure that it would catch his attention
A lot of romance content is dependent on context. How does Cullen join the Inquisition? What happened to him after DA2? What influence does his lyrium addiction have on him? What, if any, personal quests does he have?
If it were me, it would start with him being surprised by the Inquisitor's affections, then initially resistant due to the perception of insubordination. ("I cannot have the men lose faith in me. Our cause is too important.") The topic of his previous romance may come up at this point, with Cullen mentioning that "he had succumbed to this temptation before." Completing the romance requires some re-assurance that it will be all right.
Inq: Love is not a weakness, Cullen.
Cullen: Is it not? Then why do I feel so weak when I am around you?
(Inquisitor sees words will not convince him, kisses Cullen)
This culminates in a discreet meeting at some point in the Inquisitor's quarters. Maybe he comes under the pretext of delivering a report on their military strength or some such.
Inquisitor: Enough. We could have spoken about this in the morning. You came here for another purpose.
Cullen: (sigh) Am I that obvious?
After sexytimes, they talk about how they can't no promises can be made in such an uncertain future, but Cullen makes an oath to stay by the Inquisitor's side to face whatever trials are to come.

This!I always liked the idea of a circle being something similar to an educational institution,obligatory for a few years and then after the mage passes his/her harrowing or something similar,they're free to go or stay.
Well,we both live in an dream world! xD and that's the main reason I don't see this happening in the DA series because we won't have a world to save and disputes to solve,unless it's the final game ofc.
also LIKE!

I can see that working this way,Cullen appears to be dutiful according to past interactions with him,so even if the Inquisitor isn't a mage,which in my opinion would make it trickier to romance him,I think that he'll be hesitant in allowing himself to get romantically involved with his superior,mainly out of fear that it will interfere with his duty and possibly that he'll have to make that inevitable choice between his personal happiness and his honour.

I'd be ALL over that!
Re: helmet. They eyes have holes cut in them, and you can see through them. Kind of like on this one:
*Snip*
It's one of the most famous grotesque helmets, I think. Ignore its hilarious look, just look at how the eyes are made.
I think Cullen's helmet has similar visor, or just 2 holes in place of lion's eyes.
BTW, such helmets cost a fortune, so I don't think Cullen will be wearing it all the time. It's probably for special occasions.
That's what my Inquisitor is gonna wear, LOL!

A Cullen/Morrigan/Inquisitor road trip will be... special... for sure. 
I really hoping those two have some interesting conversation with each other.
I get the feeling my Inquisitor is going to have to threaten to turn this bog unicorn around more than once during that trip. 
I'd be ALL over that!
As long as he doesn't leave after one night and never comes back - looking at you Fenris! Jerk!

I just don't want to choose between them! I like fences *goes and hugs a fence* They can't make me leave it!
One question guys:
Who wore it better?
If you look closely at the lion's mouth you can just about see his nose... or possibly mouth, underneath the helmet.
That's what my Inquisitor is gonna wear, LOL!
They will scare the sh!t out of our enemies! If Viv can cosplay a qunari, I wanna cosplay a steampunk halla! My Quizzy would be quite a team with Cullen and Vivienne.

I think this is the most likely way for his romance to turn out. I have to admit I'm getting a little tired of reluctant LIs though. I wish we would get an LI that pursued us for once. Not just for sex but for love and romance. But that type of romance easily comes across as something you have to do instead of simply being optional content (one of the reasons some people don't enjoy the Liara romance in ME).

Well now that's something you don't see every day! Do you know if it's true that back when they actually made and wore those kind of things, they were made to look as frightening as possible? Because they wanted to frighten the oponent by using devil/ monster faces? I have to admit I'm not really sure if fear is the right word for what I feel when I look at that helm Amazing craftsmanship though!

Ahahaha don't forget to pack your "This is our get along" tunic for them!
Man, I am so going to rock that bog unicorn!
Leaving you all with this little gem:
Retour en haut
