Yeah

 

5 sovereigns on Solas as well for me.

 

I want Grey Warden dude or Iron Bull (or Cole if he is a companion), but I suspect Solas.

Does anyone else think it's interesting that it would be Cullens job to "Vacate her position and assume her authority" and NOT the knight commanders? I'm probably reading way to into this but either Cullen was really taking up a lot of things for Meredith while she was struggling or because she has to run the Templars someone else has to be the head of the guard. It also says a lot about how powerful the chantry/Templars are in this area that the Templars can even stick their noses in something that is so clearly external affairs.

I also love how courteous/professional the letter is and then he lets slip the "rather not have that headache" line lol! I seriously don't blame him though, who would want to be second in command to the templars AND remove a guard Captain who's men don't know respect or trust you. Gosh and then having to try and lead them till you can find a replacement (who would probably have to be a templar puppet or Chantry enthusiast to make them more powerful) I think the word headache isn't strong enough there Cullen!

My post above refers to the link about the letter Cullen sent to Hawke. It's weird because I did quote it. Where did you go?

[Kirrahe1]

I think that would take too much time and effort to implement, but that is an awesome idea! ^^

Skyrim had a ton of different fonts for books/letters. Obviously not all of them were individualized because that would be insane with how many notes/literature there is in skyrim. But I bet they could do it for the individual LI's or companions in Dragon age if skyrim could do it for all those books! I'm not saying I think this will happen, just that it might not be to difficult!

I found the letter to be very cute. :3 ( is that a bad thing?)

Though we are all crossing our fingers and secretly hoping for you-know-who

 

 

 

 

 

Broodmother obviously, DUH. 

[Danny Boy 7]

So have they stopped with the character kits? Cuz it's been a while... 

 

They might release it with the actual Follower Week that follows the Follower Friday

[Danny Boy 7]

Pssh obviously

I think it's pretty cute XD And I also think it shows his close relationship with Hawke? Like how he slips being unprofessional at times and also I feel like he's asking favor from friend or giving Hawke a warning cause he knows Aveline is her/his friend and that Hawke will sort things out in best way? So I think he's trusting Hakwe. Or maybe I'm just looking too much in the letter ^^;

[Danny Boy 7]

@Kirrahe1: Second's in commands at least in the literature, movies, etc that I've read have always been the more involved characters in external affairs. If someone gets removed the superiors are more likely to demote someone else rather than promote someone that either didn't deserve/earn it or was corrupted by the experience of the commander/captain that was removed. Since most countries aren't Theocracies but still heavily influenced by the Chantry itself I imagine that Templar formally outrank any other form of guardsman/police type official. Not to mention that apparently Kirkwall was East Thedas' main Templar Stronghold which is why Bethany/Carver/Hawke were all like "Wait you want to go to Kirkwall?" with Mama Hawke at the beginning.

 

Knight-Captains just have much more fun lol

[CuriousArtemis]

I love that letter.

 

But I see it more as concern for Aveline, whom he likely respects, than proof of friendship with Hawke. I always felt Hawke and Cullen didn't interact enough "on screen" to have built up a friendship. I think at one point Hawke can say to Cullen that s/he's just "checking in on an old friend." I was like, huh? Since when did Hawke and Cullen become friends? 

 

So here I think Cullen was hearing these ridiculous rumors about Aveline, and not only did he think they were unfounded (and we know Cullen would be against things like rumors and dishonoring an honorable woman) but it also would, as he put it, quite simply be a headache for him if he has to actually DO something about it.

 

So he dumps it all on Hawke, in hopes of averting a crisis lol

It might be just my headcannon but I imagine Hawke being in pretty good terms with Cullen. I'm basing that on the old friend comment too ^^ For me it just seems like Cullen and Hawke formed relationship where which was about respect and trust, and that's why Cullen trusted Hawke's judgement many times during the game. But yup I wonder if it's more of personal headcanon than something that happens in game, I mean there is references of them being somehow friendly but not much.

I'd say they were more really close acquaintances. It's a strained relationship simply due to their respective stations either because Hawke is a mage or because Cullen is required to take Bethany in. Friend might be the default, but the only really friendly (in the basest definition of the word) thing he does is comfort Hawke regarding Leandra. 
 

[Jean]

He speaks about Leandra? I don't think I've heard that.

[Danny Boy 7]

It's a little mention not in major dialogue, just some of his ambient dialogue I think.

[Galagraphia]

 

You know, I had always just assumed Cullen didn't have a lot of schooling (of the non-templar variety, anyway) but the letter he sent Hawke was pretty eloquent. I'm starting to rethink that. Maybe chantry schooling at least?

I always thought Templars were really well-educated people. For example, Alistair knew a lot of interesting stuff he could only learn in the monastery (he gave me a history lesson at Ostagar, and a really good one). And he wasn't the best student We can argue about the usefulness of the Chantry, but they do provide decent education, it seems.

And the Circle is basically a huge library, where you live, so what would a bored young man do when he's not on duty? And not training? And not praying? Read something. 

Besides, DA:O made it look like Greagoir was raising a replacement for himself. There was even a version of the ending where Cullen became a Knight-Commander. And look how quickly Cullen got promoted in Kirkwall. I don't think it was just because Meredith liked his views on the mages (there were guys like Karras, but she didn't promote them). She wasn't lyrium-crazy back then. It means Cullen had the skills and the abilities for the position. He's not that simple. I think he will be a valuable contribution to the Inquisition.

(look, an HR in me took word, haha! )

[Galagraphia]

P.S. There was actually another letter from Cullen. A report to Meredith about Mage Underground.

I apologize if it has been already mentioned before. Just noticed you discuss one letter, but I remembered there were 2 letters from him.

[Dirgegun]

Seeing I was playing a snarky little sh!t Hawke, I always took the 'checking in on an old friend' as just being snarky.

Thanks for mentioning, I don't think have seen this one before ^^

Well, there aren't so far followers/character shown by Bioware yet. We know that Solas, IB, Cullen and Alistair are in the game, but Bioware always released the character kits after they shown the character in some forms. And for Alistair his kit might be a spoiler to his role in the game.

[CandraRose]

I love Cullen's letters!!
It'd obviously be amazing for him to become a companion, but if he were a scout/informant I'd love it if we got lots
of letters from him like updates with cute inside jokes between him and the inquisitor

[Jean]

Totally hoping Solas ends up the next reveal atm.

 

and may his head be shiny enough to blind our foes. 

 

*hides*

That would be pretty awesome!

[Ananka]

If he went through chantry schooling, I can imagine that from his word choices and his letter, Cullen would have very neat handwriting.

 

Compared to Alistair, who I reckon would have barely paid attention in class and spent most of his time doodling. Even as a King, I can imagine Alistair has such a messy scrawl that the court officials are constantly struggling to decipher it and have taken to simply getting him to dictate what he wants to write and getting him to sign it afterwards.

 

That's how I picture it, too. Neat handwriting, perfect grammar, all his books and papers clean and sorted and pays attention in class. While Alistair shows up with wrinkled, occasionally stained, papers with sloppy handwriting and spends the entire class daydreaming.

I picture Cullen as being quite intelligent and a fast learner, although a bit on the naive/oblivious side.

Alistair is a bit more of a dreamer. He's not in any way stupid, he just learns in his own way
