That one's my favourite too. (You should change it)
I like that one, too! I'd be okay with this one as well 
I don't think he's thinking naughty thoughts LOL I just feel he's projecting such an aura of confidence in all these new pics, and I love it.
I have blue eyes, but I'm not particular on what color characters have. Honey colored eyes suit Cullen so much more than blue ones.
I have blue eyes, too, and to be quite honest I could care less what color his eyes are 
Now Vivienne, I agree that the blue eyes were... unsettling. She looked like she was doing magic, projecting her soul, or ... something. It was a bit creepy.

Yeah, I see that too. I suspected that might be my own projection... 
It's just not my favorite. I would've chosen this one:
But everyone has their own preferences, so I'm not messin' with it.
That's my fave too

All my likes are gone, but yes!
I just love that it also shows he has an ironic or humorous side. Like, he's internally a bit amused at us, even if he doesn't share his amusement or explain. Heh. Of course, I think I'm projecting my "Chocolate and Sex" Cullen onto him now... but daaayam! 
By neither, I think they mean they are available from level 7 (or whatever level it is), no matter what. We could probably kill Dorian right off the bat and still have access to the Necromancer specialisation or refuse Iron Bull's help and still be able to become a Reaver, etc.
I like BAMF for the next theme. I can do something with that.
Given how much material we have to work with this time around... I wonder if we should just have a series of possible prompts for people looking for inspiration.
Like:
BAMF
Lions
Cullen's childhood
Cullen's hobbies
Something like that...?
I rather prefer this one myself:

I was just going to do a part three for my fic; is that okay? I'm not sure it will be related to any of these topics. I think it will just be a bit of dancing. i.e. Auren teaching Cullen elvish dances, since they first met at a dance

...Er, followed by the one everyone seems to hate.
Is it just me or does it seem like they've managed to animate individual muscles to get them to have more expressioned faces? Like, look at his face in this one, you can see the muscles like on a real person.
So, now that's he's not Knight-Captain and not even a templar, what are everyone's thoughts on his new title? Do you think he could be "the General" we've seen talk of?
I think it's possible he's the general we've heard about. I'm excited to see how he's adjusting to not being a templar anymore. Well he isn't by title anyway but he was trained to fight the way a templar fights and was made reliant on lyrium so in every sense of the word, I think he's still a templar the way a mentat is a mentat. Regardless of what he affiliates himself with now, his abilities are templar abilities and his experience is from a templar role. It'll be intriguing to see him adapting this to the situation in DA:I. I just wish we knew if there was a cure for lyrium dependence. Maybe the Chantry had one all along and Cass reluctantly coughed up that knowledge to free him from a substance she couldn't guarantee procurement of. Having a founding member of the Inquisition reliant on something you can't supply and thus risking that member going mad, is a weakness the Inquisition can't afford. If Cullen were freed of lyrium and using more generic battle knowledge, then I'd consider him being truly no longer a templar. Since I don't know if that's the case, I'm interested in learning what he actually is this time. If he's more or less still a templar in all but title, I think him being an advisor makes sense and it'll be interesting to see him adapting he expertise to events. If he's been... remade, as it were, it would be interesting to see how he's dealing with the removal of so much that defines him and having it replaced with something else. His experience would still be valuable, of course, but would he feel differently about things if, in order to survive, he had to change how he fights and get rid of lyrium? A part of me wonders if there isn't a small amount of resentment at magic for "shackling" him to a magical mineral and using spirit based abilities. I mean the physical and spiritual sensations have gotta be weird and tiring, I think, to draw out mana and smite people. A straight up fight might be preferable.
It fascinates me to think of how he would handle the change from templar to just warrior. I somehow doubt this will even be a concern in DA:I though. Why unnecessarily hamper the Inquisition? There will probably be plenty of lyrium for Cullen to consume. It's just the whole "consequences for using lyrium" the devs mentioned that got me thinking about how Cullen could be an advisor and functional if they use this mechanic unless they A) Make Cullen immune B ) Make it possible for the Inquisitor to find enough lyrium and it's a Thing for us to worry about or C) Cullen has been changed to make it no longer an issue for him.
All of these possibilities provoke still more questions and I can't imagine Cullen would go through any of this without having some thoughts on the matter. It seems he already has had a change in his core ideals. He believes in what his templar duty was supposed to be but if that were all he believed in, I doubt he'd join the inquisition. He seems to have expanded his internal duty from just protecting mages and people from bad magic to being a protector of all. Fighting back demons spilling from the Fade breach is an extension of his templar duties but it's so much bigger in scope and it may require he learn to combat in a different way. That would surely have an effect on his thoughts about the problems that led to it. I'm anxious to learn them but I'm worried which way he'll go. Will he continue to fight for peace and balance and become an agent of change? Or will he see these changes he must adopt as misfortunes to loathe and chooses a side to blame? That's what I want to know.
Apologies for the long post. I kind of got swept away by my own wonderings.

The all sound so nice...I can't choose!
Although I'll be possibly moving out to Scotland,by the time we reach 3000,but I'll try to make at least one small contribution.

Oh, totally. As usual, I don't think anyone needs to follow the theme. There's so much fodder... we may not need a theme at all, which I think is also fine.
I like both BAMF and "the man behind the soldier"
Ah, yes, I should've put that on the list as well. "man behind the soldier" is perhaps my favorite. I think I was translating that into Cullen's hobbies, i.e. what he's like/does in his spare time, but thinking again, I guess it's not quite the same thing.
So, now that's he's not Knight-Captain and not even a templar, what are everyone's thoughts on his new title? Do you think he could be "the General" we've seen talk of?

I also got this impression from this and the angry glare pic,it's more apparent in the brow area I also like the small expression wrinkles!

This is an idea I've also been playing around with. What is Cullen without being a templar? What part of him is always a templar? I love your notion of resenting magic because of the lyrium dependence. That's an interesting twist I hadn't considered! (have I mentioned how much I miss having you around??)

No, no, I see it, too. Especially with his furrowed brows, and the slight beginnings of a snarl around his nose. I'm so excited to see what they can do in this game with expressions. (REACTION WHEEL WHEEEE)
We have in the pic below. But having a special title of his own could also be cool. They would then just have to explain why there's a general and then also him.Have we seen talk of General? O_o
Inquisitor Commander
Or
Commodore
Or
Brigadier
(Sorry, my dad was in the Royal Navy, proper titles are extremely important
I rather prefer this one myself:

The gold background one? It's my desktop. I think he looks all angry and sexy in it.
