I'm going with it being IB and Varric that are race-gated. And Dagna being the first ever female dwarven LI is the exact reason why I think it will be her.

 

Oh man, if Varric is romanceable... *swoon*

Seeing a female dwarven LI would be great. I would have preferred Sigrun, but Dagna will work too :)

So, I'm still thinking about why would Cullen clash with such lovely ladies as Josephine and Leliana.

He was quite diplomatic himself in DAII, apparently he was responsible for public relationships in the Gallows:

jANSNFh.jpg

And he was capable of suggesting diplomatic solutions to Meredith before:

 

To Knight-Commander Meredith, re. the so-called "Mage Underground"

 
Every Circle in Thedas suffers from individual mages who rebel and attempt to flee. These apostates are usually found and returned to the Circle or mercifully killed if they have fallen to demonic temptation. Until now, I have never served anywhere that the populace does not fully cooperate in hunting these rebels.
 
Here in Kirkwall, citizens actually help rebel mages escape. Escaped apostates have survived their freedom long enough to form the "the mage underground," a network that feeds and shelters escapees and even transports apostates into remote areas of the Free Marches and beyond our easy reach.
 
As of late, the movement has grown bolder, sending raiding parties into the Gallows in an attempt to break out mages who lack the skills or willpower to escape on their own. This is a grave concern. My recommendation is to fight back, both physically and in turning the minds and hearts of their supporters against them.
 
—Knight-Captain Cullen

As you can see, he thinks that kicking asses won't help without a bit of propaganda. So I think he won't be fighting with Scribbles and Leli too much, and they probably will be able to reach a consensus between themselves most of the time. Cullen is a smart guy, he's not unreasonable, I don't think he will be pouting most of the game, because I didn't allow him to CONQUER ALL TEH LANDS!!!111

 

P.S. I've been looking at this photoset on tumblr, and I must say, Cullen is the hottest!  :P

Guys, I just had a thought (and forgive me, and by all means, please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm still very new to Dragon Age), but DG said something about Cullen's last name, right? 

 

So, assuming that Mr. Gaider wasn't trolling us ("Cullen is Cullen's last/only name! Mhuahaha!"), the only humans in Thedas that have last names are nobles, right? At least, again, as far as I know. So, assuming I'm not wrong about that, (and also assuming DG wasn't trolling  ;) ), is there a possibility that Cullen might have noble blood?

 

 

Spoiler

 

Thoughts? Rebuttals? Am I wrong? (probably)

 

EDIT: add-on here, but basically this just spawned off of one of the Advisor gifsets going around tumblr right now. I mean, Cassandra and Josephine had their last names mentioned, and they're both nobles, right? I'm not sure about Alistair, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually take on "Theirin" as his last name unless/until he becomes King, because he was never really legitimized before then, and "they made it clear to [him] that he was a commoner".

The source was supposedly taken from a Raptr quote on twitter for the NPCmance. Havent seen the original anywhere so not sure if legit. Probably Dagna if it is though :)

It is legit (I saw it myself, though I have no direct link), and Dagna was confirmed to have a big part, so likely I'd say. Also, it is a bit confusing whether this outside romance is the same level as the rest (in which case it would be 8 + 1), this is extremely unlikely however.

 

Yeah, Morrigan definitely isn't an LI. Oooh, so maybe we'll get out first ever Dwarven female romance?

Only two are race gated, right? Makes me wonder if it's Varric? I shouldn't think it would be Cullen, especially since he's already gender-gated.

Any former LI will never be an LI to a different protagonist. And, while I am a downer but hate it, Cullen is as likely to be gated as the rest considering Act 2. If Varric is a romance option, we might see all races have a romance blocked, but if he's not, then I predict only Qunari and Dwarves will have such a problem.

 

I'm going with it being IB and Varric that are race-gated. And Dagna being the first ever female dwarven LI is the exact reason why I think it will be her.

If Dagna is a romance option, she'd be the first dwarven LI period (possibly tied with Varric), that being said, Varric would have to be bi for this to work, and considering they honoured Cullen's female-only mage crush and Cassandra's one kiss being with a guy, the fact that all of Varric's flirting is to women is also likely to be honoured (if it's not I might get even more sad). IB probably will be race gated to non-Dwarves due to him having a model just shy of being a golem.

 

Oh man, if Varric is romanceable... *swoon*

Seeing a female dwarven LI would be great. I would have preferred Sigrun, but Dagna will work too :)

Seeing any dwarven LI would be great. That being said, I hope Dagna has grown a lot if she's an LI. I want to be able to look past the fact that I last saw her as a childish 19 year old. And I want to do it soon.

 

Also, this isn't me being back... I just popped in to see your guys' well wishes, and I got drawn in.

Actually Dagna was 19 in Origins. She'd be 29 in Inquisition.

Yes if Dag in the other LI my theory is Varric won't romance qunari women and IB won't romance dorfs. I'd love for there to be a female dwarf romance finally and Dag would fit the description. So my hope is

 

IB

Varric

Dagna

 

as the final three, as two need to be blokes and 1 has to fit the no companion/advisor description.

On Cullen's struggle with the other advisors, I think we should consider that:
1)Leliana and Josie don't agree with their respective methods as well;
2)We don't know Cassandra's role in this. She might partecipate in the meetings, and she has a stance similar of Cullen's.

My theory is (including confirmed romances)

 

Males

Cullen - straight (confirmed :crying:)

Iron Bull - pansexual ("bi", unconfirmed, race gate against Dwarves/Elves, either/both)

Solas - bisexual (unconf.)

Dorian - gay (conf.)

 

Females

Cassandra - straight (conf.)

Josephine - bisexual (conf., no race-gate)

Dagna - bisexual (unconf. race-gate against Qunari/Humans)

Sera - lesbian (conf.)

 

No clue about the race-gates, all wild guesses. Also, it's interesting to note we've never had a templar-esque character interested in the same sex, and this won't change with Inquisition.

I don't think DAI can be modded.

 

It's said that it will be harder on Frostbite but not impossible. I guess we will see

They already stated the game would not be moddable?
 
I think if mods are available...they will be cosmetic because you need a toolkit and Dice has never released one for any of their games

  

Frostbite 3 has been infamous for being extremely hard to mod. But, we will find a way. We always find a way!

  

They said the Infinity Engine (Baldur's Gate) was also not moddable (is that a word even?) and yet mods happened. Plus, it seems like they are looking into a way to release a toolkit. It won't happen right away I'm sure, but it's moved from impossible to improbable - at least in my book.

 

There will be no advanced modding for Dragon Age Inquisition. It's not possible without a toolkit. DICE will never let anyone create a modding toolkit for Frostbite. Not only because it's hard but the cost would be hefty and "other reasons".

You might get some textures but that's all and who cares about those.

You're preaching to the choir on the "no past LI's being available again" thing. I've repeated that one line so many times now it's becoming a catchphrase.

In terms of Cullen possibly being race-gated, he may not be. After all, our Qunari isn't part of the Qun. According to the devs only two of the romanceable characters are race-gated anyway, so we'll see who it is soon enough.

I really really really hope Cullen isn't a noble, just 'cause it seems like we're them as it is. And I like that farm boy theory too much. :I

I do too. :/ I really hope he's not a noble. I too am a huge fan of the farm boy theory, or even just him being a Chantry boy.  ...not to mention it would feed the flames for the people just dismissing Cullen as an Alistair 2.0  <_< And I mean, there just seem to be nobles everywhere.

 

Although this has me wondering if he actually has a last name  :lol: (A part of me thinks he really does, but I also wouldn't put it past them to tease at something like that)

Sooo... My theory was that since we are going to Redcliffe, maybe the romance that isn't a companion/advisor is Teagan.

I'm gonna be super pessemistic and guess the romances will be like:

 

Males

Cullen - straight (confirmed, race-gate against Qunari/Dwarves)

Iron Bull - bisexual (unconf.)

Solas - bisexual (unconf.)

Dorian - gay (conf.)

 

Females

Cassandra - straight (confirmed, race-gate again Qunari/Dwarves)

Josephine - bisexual (conf., no race-gate)

Dagna - bisexual (unconf.)

Sera - lesbian (conf.)

 

Yes, I think the two straight options could be race gated. The reason I think it could happen is Cameron saying the romances that were race gated were like that for plot reasons. Aren't Cullen and Cassandra both devout Andrastians? Seems like if anyone would have a problem romancing Qunari or Dwarves, it might be them.

 

I mean, maybe Cullen's views have changed since DA2, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

Maybe our Qunari can convert to make them happy??? :lol:

Not going to lie, would be quite intrigued by that. Think Dagna would probably be more popular though :)

For the Bi and or straight romance.

 

You know I think Teagan has NEVER had any slash fiction.  Ive seen Mathius Slash Fiction. No Teagan though
