This has been asked plenty of times already, but with new info maybe you changed your mind? What kind of character will be your first to romance Cullen? (Race/class/personality/looks anything you want to include basically. : P)

 

*Rubs hands together*

 

Female human rogue. She isn't timid nor weak nor without experience, she is a warrior and has trained to be a leader as she has come from a family with no male heirs and is the eldest. She will kick ass and bring Cullen to his knees in the training yard after she has made him dizzy from jumping, twirling and giving him random bumps on the head with the hilt of her dagger whenever she sees the opportunity. She is a positive person, kind of dorky and hard to irritate. Likes to joke around, but knows when she needs to wear her serious boots. She is quirky and has the most lamest sense of humor - people either don't get her jokes or they just don't find them funny. She would read her days away if she could and has a passion for disgustingly tragic love stories. She will mend all the rips in Cullen's clothing herself and try and bake him cookies even though they will come out inedible. She will pester him insistently for a puppy and will ruffle his hair when he is not looking  :lol:

What if instead of saying "You're alive," Cullen says something along the lines of, "How do I know you're real?" or "This again? I know this isn't real."

 

too soon?

I dunno, Cullen saying "You're alive" in a quiet, slightly breaking voice... :crying:

 

Both would bring a tidal wave of feels. I'm reminded of that fanart from waaaaay back when of Cullen with a Desire Demon pretending to be the Inquisitor.

If we have any control over our character's background, I'd like my Inquisitor to have been an enchanter/senior enchanter in a Circle of Magi who left with other mages after the fighting between mages and templars made it too dangerous to stay.

She won't be necessarily opposed to the Circle, but she wants reform. She'll be the Aequitarian player character between my Loyalist mage Warden and my Resolutionist mage Hawke that I plan to import.

Female human rogue. :) She was originally going to be an Orlesian bard that had grown up as a gutter-rat, but apparently the warrior/rogue Trevelyan is a noble! So I'm thinking that I'll probably make her an artificer, and she likes to tinker and experiment and prod at and with things. But the personality I came up for her will pretty much be the same as before, except maybe not as calculating-- quiet, but not shy, really, it's more just that she prefers to listen and observe and generally only talks when she has something to say. A little jaded, but still idealistic-- she willingly helps the Inquisition because she truly believes that they can make a difference, but she's uncomfortable with being the Inquisitor because she prefers to work from behind the scenes. Has a hard time with intimacy and trust, but in front of people she trusts she's more open, likes to tease, laugh and flirt, and can be a little silly. And despite being quiet, she can be a bit explosive, and also reckless. She's also a hands on kinda person. My headcanon is that she keeps bothering Cullen late at night while he's working on stuff, and at first she just likes to come around to tease him since he seems too serious to her, but then eventually he loosens up and they actually start talking. And then they go from (what she perceives to be) a flirtation to a friendship to her just falling for him and she panics about it once she realizes.  :lol: But Cullen ends up being one of the first people within the Inquisition that she trusts completely.

I will romance him on my third playthrough, she will be a Qunari mage, with a cocky personality.

Reeeally grouchy Dalish rogue. She's not mean, just hard to talk to (like some unholy love child of Sten and Fenris, with a dash of Aveline for awkward).

 

In reality, she's a walking, talking cactus.

 

(Prepare yourself, Cullen >:3)

That would be....amazing.

 

Wouldn't it though!  :lol:

 

I think, depending on who we send in, will determine that NPCs outcome. Maybe Leliana got captured because she is a bard and when faced with a whole pile of mages and demons she isn't really going to be that successful. Now if we sent Cullen in there could be a chance that he doesn't get taken prisoner, or if he does I don't think he would crumble the way the game play showed Leliana doing. Cullen knows what to expect, he has been through it all before and none of it will surprise him. I think he is strong and after everything that he has been through I don't see his experience being the same as Leli's, he would pull himself together like he has done in the past and move forward so he can do what needs to be done. Originally I thought that he would loose it because it would bring back all his nightmares of Kinloch Hold but after reading that Iron Bull has PTSD I'm kind of thinking that Cullen may not be as easily damaged mentally as I previously thought he could be. Would they chuck in two NPCs with PTSD being a big problem for them both? I'm really looking forward to sending Cullen into situation that compliment his training and seeing him kick some ass! ^_^

(This is not Ashtal Adaar. This is my "planned" first run, Cookie Adaar.)
 
TORTURER: [PRESSES BLADE TO CULLEN'S THROAT] You will talk!
CULLEN: [UNDER HIS BREATH] Let the blade pass through the flesh, let my blood touch the ground...
ADAAR: [BURSTS INTO THE ROOM] [STARES] Cullen!
TORTURER: You--
[AN ARROW SUDDENLY PROTRUDES FROM TORTURER'S THROAT] [TORTURER GAGS AND DIES] [VARRIC LOADS ANOTHER BOLT INTO BIANCA]
ADAAR: Cullen! You're still alive!
CULLEN: [CURLS FORWARD] [EYES CLENCH SHUT] Let my cries touch their hearts. Let mine be the last sacrifice...
ADAAR: Let's get you out of--
CULLEN: Don't touch me.
ADAAR: [FREEZES]
CULLEN: [LOOKS UP AT HER] [WEAKLY] Again? Can you think of no better thing to torment me with? I will never give you what you want.
DORIAN: He believes we're demons.
CULLEN: [IGNORES HIM] Cookie is dead.
VARRIC: Obviously not. She's right here.
CULLEN: They showed me your--[FLINCHES] her corpse.
BLACKWALL: Bad idea on their part. They must have thought you weaker than you were. Show you your beloved's corpse, and you'll break. Instead, they strengthened your resolve. [NODS APPROVINGLY] You are made of sterner stuff. Now, lets get him down.
CULLEN: I said I won't tell you--
ADAAR: Well, I'm not asking you anything. I'm just gonna get you down. Then, you're gonna follow us while we go deal with Alexius. And you're not gonna answer any questions.
CULLEN: [BLINKING RAPIDLY] Wh-what?
ADAAR: I'm not going to ask you any questions. Clean your ears out some time. Varric, can you--?
VARRIC: Found the keys.
CULLEN: [WETLY] C-Cookie?
ADAAR: [BLINKS RAPIDLY] C'mon, down you go.

Woo hoo! High fives for all the female human rogues! :D
This is what I will be on my first run. But that's all I know! I like to respond to situations in game like I would in real life (if that even makes sense considering the craziness of Thedas +dragons) and my characters personality is just developed on the fly. Later on down the line is when I make up my characters, once I know all there is to know. No idea what kind of character I will play until I know what she will face. Also, since I'm back at home and can't watch those demos, are they good quality? Also do the devs talk in these? It's fine if so I'm just wondering. And which one is it, the Qunari Mage or the male dwarf warrior?

I'd like to think he's mentally stronger and more than capable of handling this now. Using all the strength he's gained by his past experiences and is a lot tougher now. Kinda like all that crap is now a bonus to his ability and not a draw back.

 

Not sure what I'll play yet, probably human rogue (which I choose 99% of the time) but if I play mage I'll probably try to go with arguing with him being a former templar to friendship/love.... really depends on the game/reaction though

Mike Laidlaw talks in both. More in the first part and really only the intro in the second part. I thought they were pretty good quality and it was the Qunari mage in both parts.

This has been asked plenty of times already, but with new info maybe you changed your mind? What kind of character will be your first to romance Cullen? (Race/class/personality/looks anything you want to include basically. : P)

Feanneth Lavellan
Dalish mage
Her personality is childlike... but not childish. She's definitely a grown woman who knows when to be serious, but she initially comes across as the innocent type unless you look deeper. She's just got this sense of wonder about the world and people in general. She is always friendly and looking to find what makes people tick. She has spent her life living on the fringes of society, so she is not unlike the creatures who live in her home forests; pretty and wild, a little timid and sweet, but completely capable of tearing your face off. She finds human (and dwarven and qunari) society to be pretty odd, but learning about them delights her. That being said, she's going to be Josephine's pet project/worst nightmare.

Beneath that, she can be mature when needed and has a strong sense of morality and duty. She also has a ravenous hunger for knowledge of all kinds and will devour any and all books she comes across. She's a nature lover who will go out of her way to help a forest critter or spend hours sketching plants and collecting leaves and climbing trees. Her hair is always full of twigs and flowers. She is immensely proud of her Dalish heritage and she has a deep love for her people and culture. She is not, however a shem-hater. She finds humans to be curiously not all that different than elves... Though a small part of her will be distressed at falling in love with a human (and a templar, no less!), because any children they might have will NOT be elven. But that problem is heavily outweighed by the other factors in their relationship.

I love reading about other people's characters and plotting my own. :)

Ha ha well im extremtly nervous when it comes to my writeing i mean look at my post i said the same thing twice at one point. I have a story and i want it to be told sooooo bad it kills me sometimes when i feel that im just not good enough to put it into words to make the world alive and great like middle earth or westeros. But recently i was inspired by George R R Martin who said and i might be changing it a little bit ."If you have a story stuck in your mind that wont go away then write it " Or something like that so ive recently been trying to find the words to tell my stories.

So since we've been talking about our Inquisitors and also writing, I have a prompt idea/challenge!

 

Nothing too specific, just write (or draw!) your Quizzy and Cullen's first meeting, take that as you will. 

 

I've been itching to write this, and since I'll be in a 3 hour car ride tomorrow, I think I'll write it then.

Aww, Cullen calls his love Cookie? That's so adorable!

 

But seriously, I will never let Cullen anywhere near crazy mages and demons. Which will be extremely hard with the Fade leaking into the world, I guess. Sending a man with PTSD on a mission where there is a possibility he will have to go through the same traumatic experience again is a bad idea, imho. I'll make sure Cullen has a small army to protect him :) Of course, I won't be able to roleplay it that way if he doesn't tell my Trevelyan about Kinloch Hold. 

Perhaps he will have some sense to voice his concerns? Like Sebastian in DAII - he refused to go to Fade with us. Just like that, "I won't go period." Because he knows he can't handle that stuff.

 

I really hope there will be hints on what is the best option. For example, it was quite transparent in ME2 suicide mission who should go where, because my team mates gave their advices.

Elf Mage; Nyx Lavellan. She's essentially my personality, which is rather dark, sad, and guarded, which I think will transfer nicely into the whole "drama" Inquisition will have :3 Cullen will be one of the few to have the privilege of her trust, the others being Dorian, Cole, and Varric :P
