Nothing much yet, just the usual mix of wild speculation, friendly discussion and awesome fanart

Will do. 
I swear we need the internet version of a phone tree for Cullen news.
I'm with Motown here. No time makes this gal a sad panda. Too much going on in real life makes me yearn for inquisition more so lol. I did pick up bound by flame and I'm highly amused at the moment with it. Yay steam summer sale!!! Definitely good for taking minds off cancer testing. Clarifying: I have genetic testing this week, and yearly screening because of the amount of first degree relatively cancer.
So nothing new? Bummer!!!! I get excite with each tidbit lol. I do manage to mostly keep up on tweets, but not always. I just so want some info on Cullen now. I did very enjoy Iron Bull`s interview and the VA video. Woo Freddie!!! I did like Vega too
And I will wind this down. Typing on a touch screen sucks
And now it lets me edit. I hate this tablets web browser. Anyway: Motown is Lorien. Relatively is relatives with. The autocorrect is vicious!!! I even know how to spell! Mostly....

Noted! You'll have 50 PM's now if anything gets revealed, you know that right?

Thanks a lot Bramblefae! 
Yeah we certainly need one at this pace!
Noted! You'll have 50 PM's now if anything gets revealed, you know that right?
Then hopefully they'll release something important after I'm back!
I'll get seriously pissed if they release another VA video that'll take ages to load!Especially if this is GE's Video! xD
Ok I can't edit on this device. Motown was supposed to be Lorien. Not sure where autocorrect got that one.....
Motown would make a pretty cool username actually!
I'll even have my own logo!
Just wanted to de-lurk to say I agree with R2, re:Architect.
I admire his attempts to help the darkspawn and the surface races coexist, but it's just not a great plan, so the Architect gets the stabby stabby treatment in my games. I'll be really disappointed in the Wardens if they support any kind of similar plan in the future.
He essentially planned to expose all surface peoples to the blight (like becoming Grey Wardens) so that they'd change and become akin to the darkspawn.
Not only does this change the definition of what it means to belong to these races at their core (that's a hell of a compromise) but most of them would die in the process, while the others would become sterile and have shorter lifespans. The best case scenario would be death by starvation for all of them, because the Blight would spread over all of Thedas and there would be no crops. Remember what happens if you let the Disciple go in Awakenings? He saves travelers on the roads but they all die horrible deaths from being tainted by him anyway. :/
Not to mention, we don't even know what the darkspawn eat besides humanoids. "Next day they beat us and eat some for meat..." Yikes!!
Then you have the problem others have brought up of darkspawn means of reproduction, AND the fact that these darkspawn are being enlightened without any willful consent, and about half of them seem to see it as a serious violation and resent it.
Nope nope. Need a better plan. :/ seriously, when it comes to darkspawn it unfortunately had to be us vs them unless they can either stay to their own side or get un-blighted. Otherwise they kill us just by hanging around, however much some of them might not mean to. :/
Is having a bad plan worthy of death? If the Architect is an ally, the Warden could probably speak to him about the merits of the plan later on and try to work it out verbally.
Also, IIRC, darkspawn don't biologically have to eat--the taint sustains them. Darkspawn reproduction isn't necessarily a problem as long as the current broodmothers are preserved, and if the song of the Old Gods can somehow be stopped altogether, the violation issue would fade as well. Finally, if darkspawn don't have souls, it's objectively worse to kill awakened darkspawn than to kill humans--while human souls might have some kind of afterlife, darkspawn would be wholly obliterated when killed.
And now dirge type music. I shall return with no news probably... or if there is news it will be "You have to go to Utah." I really don't wanna gooooo.... whines! Lol. See you all soon I hope! Keep the Cullen rolling!

If the bad plan essentially amounts to genocide of the rest of Thedas then... yes
Keeping the existing broodmothers would upset me a lot. It's essentially saying "It's OK that you kidnapped these women, violated them in some indescribable way, and turned them into monsters, as long as you keep them alive in their new mindless state and don't get any more." It would also worry me that not all the awakened darkspawn agreed with the architect. Suppose the majority felt the same as the Mother? We'd have an intelligent, tactical horde to deal with 
Finally I'm not sure how having a soul makes anything objectively better or worse. Dead is dead either way. Of course, in my day to day life I don't believe in souls so for me it's a bit of a moot point
It is interesting how people are divided over the architect. I always say it's a sign of a well-written character. It's probably part of the reason I like Cullen, he's a character you can approach from many angles and get a slightly different view each time
Are they the same kind of creature though? Corypheus is possibly one of the original Magistrers and the Architect is an evolved Darkspawn.Here's hoping the Architect doesn't body hop like Corypheus.
YAY Cullen thread!!!

Hello love! Stay!!!

I respectfully disagree with anyone that thought another path was better (and since I got my tangent out once, well, twice now, I want to respect the community and not be the reason things stay off topic for pages and pages.)
Ooooh finally the last official companion name I wasn't expecting to see him today!
Do you guys think they will let the Greg Ellis/Cullen video slip into the waste bin? Like they did with the dev videos they said they were filming (and other stuff).
Are they the same kind of creature though? Corypheus is possibly one of the original Magistrers and the Architect is an evolved Darkspawn.
But we do know what body hops. The Tainted Old Gods.
A) They bloody well better not do!
I thought the Architect -could- have been a magister too, judging by his dress and intelligence level he was quite similar to Corypheus.
Omg they just suddenly revealed him like that? Confirmed that he's in game, name and all! He looks quite ghostly though, I wonder if his health isn't good. Cole you need to take care of yourself!
COLE
He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds. He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again. Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed… and Cole isn't certain that he does exist. He is a spirit, impossibly caught between the immaterial realm of the Fade and the confusing realities of our physical world, but does that make him real? Does it make him human or a demonic pretender, as some believe?
All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain and he must find his place within it. Those who wish to restore order and help the helpless will find him a strange but unwavering ally. Those who use their power for selfish reasons may never see Cole again—if they remember that he was there to begin with.
This... I did NOT expect this...
MY POWERS ARE GROWING OMFG!
You keep doing your thing Eric, keep working that mojo keep those releases coming
Cole looks so sad! I wants to give him huggles :3
Retour en haut
