What I WANT Eric, is for you to send me a PM of all the original pictures!

 

 

Honestly, google image "hot guy" and it's all there lol! 

[Jean]

I guess what I'm trying to say is have it flow more naturally, like a realistic romance. 

Oh I know what you are trying to say and agree with you. I just wanted to share a story of a time where I felt the random pacing actually felt natural. When he did do his awkward confession, it did take part in a point of the game that made sense.

[Sifr]

Yeah we need some better romance pacing in DAI.

 

Replaying DA2, I constantly need to remember when to chat/flirt with Isabela, because I'd pop back to my mansion to collect some things or drop some loot off, run into their sex scene... and then have forgotten what item I was looking for afterwards.

 

Alternatively, if you time the romance arcs wrong, it can come across as utterly insensitive for your companions to show up and want to get freaky, right after you just finished burying Leandra...

[Allan Schumacher]

Yep. This.

 

However, there may be a possibility that they were able to gain a budget increase due to the time extension? One can hope...

 

The game itself, even with the original release date, simply had a longer development period.

Look, in my own defense, I know that I have contributed to this "silly fest", but, I do so only because that is all it is: being silly and not taking anything to heart. Otherwise, what else is there to do? Twiddle our thumbs until the next strain of news comes around...occasionally? Speculate until we turn blue? Talk about past character choices that have, in all senses, mostly already been talked about? Having fun is not necessarily a bad thing unless it gets out of hand. That would include: Rude comments, pming devs and VA's stupid/silly stuff, getting others involved when they clearly want no part, completely fangirling out on stuff (Meaning going wild with the "OMAHG#AWD1L0V3*insert name* SOOO MUUCHH". That stuff. I'm not trying to come off stand offish, but, I believe this side should be noted.

 

Thank you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took the tweet down. People seemed excited about the cereal thing at first. I didn't find tweeting GE about it all to "outlandish" because he seemed to get excited about hearing things like that. Also, it's just cereal... If haters are gong to dislike us for joking about cereal, they really just need better things to do with their lives. Haters gonna hate, so stop listening to them and enjoy life. However, I realize should of waited for a larger than 2-3 page reaction, and I apologize for taking the opinions of a portion of us, and not including other portions' opinions as well (Side note for those with food allergies, I've eaten a allergy friendly knock-offs of Special K that were quite delicious and would recommend trying them if you enjoy the taste).

 

Though I do agree with xxKitRosalin, what else is there to do than have fun until news comes around? We could always make this a general discussion thread, and then make ol' bessy (the DA2 thread) aimed more toward theory discussion, though that might create a split, and then conflict.

 

I would also like to point out that yes there are new members, seasoned members, AND senior members of this thread, but our treatment from others because of our fandom is not only caused by the activity on this thread. Prior to discovering the thread, we are still fans of Cullen, and we shouldn't be considering ourselves as better than any other fan on this thread. Newer members have probably experienced hate, possibly equal or even more than senior members, but outside being apart of this thread. Yes senior members have experienced a lot hate from the haters, but so have the newer members. This is a safe place for everyone to come, and not where new comers should be looked at as lesser. I'm sorry for not including the opinions of the general consensus, but I am definitely not sorry for trying to have a good time with others who share interests with me. 

 

 

I'll possibly leave the thread for a time due to the several page reaction I just witnessed, unless things change. We'll see.

I'd like to think that EA learned a lesson, from a marketing perspective, about rushing a title out the door. At least I hope that's why DA:I has enjoyed a longer development cycle, extension or no. I'd rather wait for a great game. Not that DA2 was bad as I did still enjoy it (guilty of loving the Awesome Button) but it seemed there were stray stitches here and there.

I thought as much...was just being hopeful.

Thanks for the reply Allan!

[Asdrubael Vect]

Still do not understand why someone can like not to mention love Cullen(and this is all just about his mediocre appearance?) for what he is, and after what he is done in Ferelden and Kirkwall?

 

Cullen deserve execution from DAO not to mention DA2 and i hope that Devs let us do this at least in DAInquisition

[TreeHuggerHannah]

If I had to place myself on the spectrum, I'd say I'm pro-Circle. Albeit, with some reform.

 

Likewise.

 

I think what it comes down to is, mages need to be protected from non-mages, non-mages need to be protected from magic users, and mages need to be protected from themselves. And ultimately, that means mages need templars.

 

The problem with "innocent until proven guilty" with mages is that the danger doesn't necessarily come from the mage doing something. A mage with perfectly good intentions but who lacks sufficient self-control is dangerous too. So I do think the burden of proof is on the mage to demonstrate they are not a danger rather than the other way around. As Cullen said, we're talking about folks who can nuke a town because they're upset. That's not something to be casual or naively optimistic about.

 

That said, I think the circles could be a lot better for mages. They could be more community-oriented. They could be less isolating for mages, and provide more access to the wider society and support for mages remaining part of their families. Mages who prove they have the ability to avoid harming people could have opportunities to gain more freedom.

 

I just don't think that getting rid of the circle concept entirely is beneficial. Including to mages themselves. 

 

What I inquire is this: Do you think they would bank on having romance with NPC's given ME3's negative response to it? Or, do you believe they might actually like to try to tackle it to see if they could do it better: make a success story out of it, if they could?

 

Neither, I think. By that I mean, I don't think decisions made for the Mass Effect series directly affect Dragon Age. If the DA devs feel that non-companion romances add to the game, they presumably also have plans for how to make them successful, so I don't think they'd be deterred by negative feedback for ME3. On the other hand, if they choose not to include non-companion romances, I don't think it has anything to do with responses to Mass Effect either, it would just be that it doesn't fit this game.

And I deserve a pay rise. Doesn't mean I'll get my wish though.

Wait, what exactly did Cullen do in DAO?

 

If you're talking about the ending slides, they are considered "rumor" not fact, and DA2 pretty conclusively demonstrates that it didn't happen that way.

People see differently characters and their reasons. I don't understand what you mean about Ferelden since Cullen didn't do much, he getting tortured is pretty much all he did. In Kirkwall the issue again was more on what he didn't do than what he did, like he didn't step up against Meredith sooner than in the end of game. So I don't understand that point. 

 

If you want to know why I like Cullen it's about his character growth and personality rather than his looks though he's not bad looking either (look-wise I prefer many other characters over him).

Ignore it, it's just another troll claiming us "fan girls" only like him for his appearance. Hit that ignore button.

My big thing was people should feel welcomed, whether silly or not. Sure, let's not get too out of hand, but we can't be "sticks in the mud", either, 'cause that will work against us as much as being silly will. And, you shouldn't have to feel unwelcome, either. You have every right, just like the rest of us, to be here and say what you feel. No one should have to feel intimidated about what they want to post! So, stick around, 'cause I certainly am and am not going to let anyone run me out just 'cause they either don't like me or don't agree with what I have to say. This is a public thread and, as far as I am concerned, having a bit of fun is not going against any rules.

Same as Watch Dogs! (Another game I'm hyped about this year!) ^^

and maybe this is why Meredit make him second in comand))) because as you can understand this is not make any sense

To me: it has to do with his character growth/portrayal. Out of all of the characters I have encountered, his is the most human to me. His flaws and successes have show that. He is imperfect, yet he tries to do the best he can. He admits when he may be wrong, and he'll attempt to hear the other side of things even if they go blatantly against his beliefs. 

[xxKitRosalin]

Exactly. Thank you again. 

 

No need to thank me. I often play devil's advocate to give perspective on an argument, anyways.

i think someone really gives "trolls" so much food then someone post mostly some "Justin Beaber style" pictures/fanart with Сullen and talk than they want to romance him and bla bla mostly connected with his appearance rather then say somethink real

People are not obligated to participate in fun or silliness, just as they are not obligated to participate in theorizing and other types of forum activity. 

[Panda]

What are you looking in this thread? Are you trying to understand character more or to say that people aren't allowed to like character you don't like?

Would you rather care about what trolls think than what you enjoy?

 

 

Also... I definitely see no justin beiber on this thread... 

 

 

 

A good portion of posts are about his character and theorizing his reasoning decisions. 


All the character threads discuss appearance. 

[LolaLei]

Ericander: The problem is that we're running the risk of getting shut down now we're in the main forums. Squeeing 'n' the like is fine but I think we all need to tone down the crazy a bit when it comes to the influx of repetitive gifs and jokes. Admittedly, I too am uncomfortable with the whole tweeting GE silly stuff under representation of the Cullen thread as a collective, but if you wanna tweet him as yourself then that's totally your prerogative.

We're gonna attract trolls regardless, but I'd say at the moment we're not helping ourselves. This isn't a pop at any one individual, so don't feel like you're being singled out, it's just that myself (and some of the others) are concerned that we'll loose the threads and end up getting even more trouble from haters targeting the fandom itself.

Well, his appearance does help But, no, if you browse through the thread, we have hashed out plenty of reasons as to why this is as opposed to just physical attraction.
