No fair y'all! Why did no one warn me that Cullen's writer worked on the Citadel DLC?! Just when I thought Cullen couldn't get anymore awesome... BAM Awesome pie right in the face! My heart has stopped. I... I... can't even. If she had anything to do with the tango, it's over. My body is not ready for that amount of awesome!

Everyone from Bioware seems super fabulous. Like Justice League plus Avengers Super. But this... I love the Citadel DLC. Everything about it was just :kissing:. I was prepared for a certain level of awesome and it just got blown off the charts now. I can't measure this much awesome. *taps awesom-ometer* Totally broken.

On the topic of Cullen-Asunder, I'm not sure he left Kirkwall and reached the White Spire. While there isn't anything against the possibility of him leaving Kirkwall to reach the meeting, I don't personally think he'd have stated silent. We don't even know if he was officially appointed as KC. The templars in Kirkwall were few, and I think Kirkwall was left to itself.
We don't know if there are other KC other then those that are stationed in the Circles after all.

I highly doubt the Chantry let Kirkwall just hang in the breeze without leadership for 3 years. There are 15 circles and there were 15 KCs at Lambert's meeting. Someone must've been representing Kirkwall. But maybe that's not what you're suggesting...

Well, if he's working for the Divine then he definitely didn't rebel. So he was either recruited into the the Inquisition before the uproar happened, or he told them to go swing and someone else stepped in to take his place.

This actually got me thinking. My Hawke never became Viscount. So since Meredith was dead, did Cullen become the de facto Viscount until one could be appointed like Meredith had been doing for 3 years? If so, that would even give more cred to his adviser role, IMO. He ran a city at the heart of the mage rebellion. It had to have been chaos for at least months if not years. That is a lot of pressure.

Depends on which uproar you mean, tho. From the interview, it sounds like he was in Kirkwall for quite a while, doing templary stuff, perhaps for even three years. Plus, if he were a part of the Inquisition during all that time, Cass surely would've known more about what happened with Meredith. I still think it makes more sense for him to join the Inquisition in 9:40ish, perhaps immediately after Varric's interrogation, but sooner is still... problematic for me. 

 

So the questions remain:

 

1. Was he the KC of Kirkwall? and if so, for how long?

2. If he was KC, did he agree to breaking the Nevarran Accord? 

3. If he did agree, why and at what point did he say, "frak this, I'm  joining the Inquisition."

It seems to me like it would make sense for Seneschal Brann to take over the vacancy at that point. He already knows the daily in and out of the office, as well as all the big stuff, too.

Maybe Meredith's replacement was the one who attended the meeting? Cullen is fixing the mess, but the new Knight-Commander is a total knob who fills his or her gullet with sweet roles while their Knight-Captain fixes the world's problems? I mean I think it says something that he's still referred to as Knight-Captain in the interview rather than Knight-Commander.

Yeah Bran could do that. With Serendipity at his side, she'd be the one calling all the shots behind the curatins.

I think he might have already been doing the paperwork stuff with Meredith. She was the one running things since the old viscounts death right? I thought that was what the fight with Orsino was about, but my brain is wonky because of this DA link Boom gave me. Tears in my eyes from laughing.

 

Side note, I hope it wasn't Brann, he was such a snobby twit. ;)

The Templars rebelling uproar. Agreeing to breaking the Nevarran Accord would mean he was anti-chantry thus not Divine loyal. The Inquisition is formed by Divine loyalists at the request of the Divine, so they wouldn't hire him if he had/was going to rebel with the others.

Good morning everyone. Man, I hate the time difference. By the time I come back here you have usually "spawned" 20 more pages. If we keep up this speed, no one will be prepared for 3000 pages celebration  :lol: . Okay, I only scanned last pages, so apologies in advanced if I have missed something important. 

 

Imagine if there are decisions in this game that if aren't met Cullen can die and will be out of future games, that would be sad but epic.

 

I'm torn, part of me feel like this will be Cullen's last game and another part of me feels maybe Bioware have more plans for him yet, maybe even a companion one day.

 

I'm not so sure if he will be in future games even if he doesn't die. It might be that Cullen has simply fulfilled his purpose after DAI. I'm not saying I want that - 'cause there can never be enough of Cullen, right ;) - but if his story is told and his character has been explored enough, it wouldn't make much sense to drag him along in future games, except for small cameos, maybe. That being said, I'm convinced that there will be a way how he can die in DAI.

 

Which brings me to this: 

 

Me either... what's Raptr??

 

I have never heard about it until someone else mentioned it in this thread. According to Wikipedia Raptr is "a social networking website and instant messanger, targeted towards video game players". As others have pointed out, there is a Dragon Age Q & A on Tuesday but you can already submit your questions now. So, here's what I asked:

 

"Mike Laidlaw said during the Twitch interview that the player could lose all of the companions except for one if he/she tries hard enough.

1. Who will be the one companion who stays? (I guess it's Cassandra).

2. What about the advisors? Will they leave or will they stay no matter what you do?"

 

 

 

 

It annoys the heck out of me that there is any phobia on the subject, rawr! But I choose to remain positive and still hold hope for him being bisexual, there are too many lovely people that are his fans that deserve to have him as an LI as much as everyone else. But in the end, whatever has been chosen for Cullen will have to be accepted either way. :)

 

I totally agree with you on the phobia. Hell, it amazes me again and again that having guy/lesbian/bisexual characters is even an issue. After all, it's the 21st century. Personally, I still can't see Cullen as bi but that's just me, of course. I think the writer will do what they think is the best for the character and what fits with his background, personality, character development and so on. After all, it shouldn't be their main concern if a character's sexuality pleases the fans but to make the character coherent. 

 

 

 

I'm so relieved to see how accepting people are in here. 

 

First of all, I don't post a lot in here so maybe a bit on me, I'm a female and I'm a game development student. I also have 2 years of computer programming. I've become used to being the only female, or one of the only females in my classes (in the industry in general tbh). It's hard, we are laughed at, poked fun of, etc by some male students and sometimes even by the professors. It's something that irritates me, but I'm used to it and I'm determined to finish and become a game developer.

 

Having said that, I always play females. I LOVE being able to be a female, to the point where I rarely play games that don't allow me to be one. I occasionally will play a male for an LI that is unavailable for a female (STEVE =3, definitely Dorian). One of the reasons I backed out of the Anders fandom was because I was told how it "disgusted" someone when I posted a picture of a fem!hawke with Anders. I hate drama, so I just backed away. Some corners of the Kaidan fandom were the same way, so I mostly stayed out. But I really enjoyed being part of the Alistair fandom, and I miss that. 

 

As far as I go, I don't care who romances who with what gender. I just enjoy squeeing with people, talking about the characters, and not having to worry about offending someone just because I don't play my game the same as them. m/m, f/f, m/f, whatever, I have squeed over LIs with many who prefer both.

 

You guys rock.

 

A kindred spirit :). I originally studied media and art history. Afterwards I worked in all sorts of areas. Finally, I decided that I wanted to do something more game-related. That's why I started a postgraduate course in game development. I finished in February and I am desperately looking for a job now. But unlike you I never learned programming. I was always interested in storytelling and took several seminars on the topic. Unfortunately, I could hardly ever use my knowledge during the course of the study. As a matter of fact, I thought programming would have been really helpful. I built all my prototypes in GameMaker. LOL. Anyway, we were a tiny course because the institute was newly founded and not well known when I started. We were 9 students, six of them were male, three female, but one of the female students droped out after the first semester. While all of my professors were very supporting, some of the male students did not respect the female students as much as their male peers. I think that you have to work harder as a female student to gain their respect. And when I really had a problem with someone, I took him aside after the course and adressed the issue. So far, an open and honest conversation has always worked best for me. Sorry, I got a carried away here. Actually, I only wanted to say that I know how you feel and hang in there!

 

I also prefer to play female characters. I think it's naturual that you always identify yourself with your own gender the most. But I don't have a propblem with playing male characters. Otherwise, it would rule out so many games. But I strongly beleive that there should be more strong female characters in video games, Lara Croft aside.

3. If he did agree, why and at what point did he say, "frak this, I'm  joining the Inquisition."

I think he was the KC of Kirkwall. But I don't understand something in Asunder. 15 mages arrived to White Spire to represent the Circles, and then the book says that 4 couldn't come. Which means there were 19 Circles?

Then Lambert mentions 15 KC who represented the Circles. Does that mean that 4 didn't come as well?

I don't remember where was it stated that there are only 14 Circles in Thedas. If it was in DAO, then could it be that Chantry opened more over 7 years?

 

Anyway, if Cullen was at Lambert's meeting, he probably had no choice but to agree. Lambert probably said, "This paper right here is a guarantee that you walk out of here alive. If you refuse to sign, I have 200 loyal templars waiting to chop you into many-many pieces *Rains of Castamere starts playing*. So put your signature right here, and let's all go home." And Cullen probably thought that alive he would be of better use to the Divine.

If there were 20 Circles indeed, then I think he didn't come to Lambert's meeting, because he thought, "Screw that! I have demons sneaking out of the Chantry ruins, and a bunch of criminal syndicates to make lyrium deals with! Politics can wait."

Interesting notion. Could be that he was there doing stuff and someone else was the actual figure head. Wouldn't surprise me that he would remain the 'getting sh!t done' guy. Altho, the only mention of being knight-captain in the interview that I see is that he's a "former knight-captain."
