My inquiry of the hour is this: do you think Cullen left the Templars? And if so, why and how? If not, see previous question. ^>^

  Of course? Where did your parent/relatives come from?  

It's from my dad's side of the family, but where exactly I couldn't say. My dad's family is extremely difficult to track genealogy because nobody ever kept records of anything, talked about it or passed anything down... Even as recent as his own grandparents.  <_<

I think there are probably many things Cullen wouldn't abide and leave the group over. Most likely related to blood magic and demons but yeah, I can see it. Makes it realistic if someone can't condone what you're doing so they leave to keep themselves from being a part of something they object so strongly. And I do meta game enough to not miss quests and check points or fully explore an area but I don't meta game companions. I often paperclip the companions' section together so I can't accidentally see something interesting when I'm flipping through the book. After I've played it half a dozen times, I start meta gaming to find anything I may have missed. Hence why Alistair ninjamanced me! lol!


I feel the same way.
I made a promise to myself that I'd play through the game blind for the first time, something I've never managed... But the game guides are often so pretty and tempting and soothing to my anxious soul!!! *hangs head* I may have to steal the paper clip idea ;)

So, Cullen question:
Previous DA games have all had companions who would leave/turn on you if certain requirements weren't met/your PC made a choice they could not abide by (like Wynne, Leliana, Zevran, Fenris, Isabella, etc) -- would you like Cullen to have a hard-line personality like this? I ask because I can see a precedent for it in his personality/actions in the past games, so I can see this happening with him (and most of the known companions so far except maybe Varric again and that may change).
And a follow up question: how likely are you to metagame your Inquisitors actions/choices in order to avoid losing Cullen if he can be lost?

they are followers. there is something more important going on than petty squabbles, i'd assume they won't leave inquisitor. trying to save the world and all that. unless inquisitor is able to quicken the destruction somehow (fingers crossed).

i hope they will confront protagonist if his/her actions aren't consistant with their convictions, Cullen or not.

 

about languages/accents. huh, once someone told me that my native language sounds like the language of mordor. awesome!  :lol:

I think it depends on your definition of "pro Mage" --- if you mean something like "mages require no oversight whatsoever" or "mages should rule like they do in Tevinter!" Or "gee! I sure love blood magic!" :lol: then yes, I think he might take issue. If you are more moderate about mages, I think he'd work with it.

 

Well yea I guess so. I just think my mage will debate with him about lot of things but I hope that doesn't make him leave ^^ I think I have just see what the game throws at me.. and save a lot. I won't go all lets kill templars and use blood magic and demons though but probaply in the "mages should be free" way.

Ok so someone asked pages ago how old Cullen is and I've been thinking about it and we don't actually know right? We know late 20's to some time mid 30's? I know his file says 24 but he comes across as much, much younger then that and they never actually say how old he is in game yeah?

He had more variety in his voices in Kingdoms of Amalur, I believe.

He might of been 24 in DA:O. That's pretty young. I imagine he's in his mid to late 30's in DA:I at the least.

Anywhere from late 20s to mid 30s is possible.

I have no idea. I think he's pretty loyal to templars but if red templars start ruling templar order I think he would leave them or stay with templars who rebel them. If normal templars still stay in power and red templars are the rebellious one's I think it's most likely that Cullen is part of them or if he isn't he is forced out and not leaving because he wants to. So overall I think he stays loyal to normal templars.

In Spain, we speak Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Valencian, Basque ...  :ph34r:

 
Yeah, I know, though I don't know if it's the same as ours 'dialetti'. A lot of word are different, and those that are the same are spelled differently. Is it the same in spain and the various languages?

Yeah... because once you see it, it's like "oooo....! shiny..." So I try to not tempt myself. I do the same thing with money. If I take only what I need, I can only buy what I intended to and not $50 in crap I don't need in addition. Same for junk food. Can't eat it if I don't buy it. lol! Some evils are so great that the only way to win is to deny it battle.

I'm going to guess at least between 30 and 35

Yes

 

In Spain there are five official languages ​​(most of the words are different) and six dialects. 
 
My own accent is very similar to French.

If he was 24 in Origins, the quest line was to last about a year, so he'd be 25 by the end of it. Ten years in Kirkwall in DA2, so that would put him around 35 years old for Inquisition.

GE was in an episode of Deep Space Nine? :blink: How did I miss that when we rewatched the whole series a couple of years ago? Usually such things don't get past me. :o

But anyway have any of you guys already finished you page 1000 project? I feel so behind I haven't really had time to do anything lately... hopefully I can come up with something in time

I haven't started anything new. I have a WIP that I might use instead.

You're right, the only evidence we have is the CHR file from DA:O. It's not stated anywhere else. So if he's 24 in 9:30, then he'd be 34 in 9:40. Luckily, I doubt it will matter, since the model they'll give him will probably target an age range anyway. I mean... he's already got the genetic fitness of the gods... he didn't age a day for nine years in DA2!!

This is what I think too. I couldn't see Cullen agreeing to have anything to do with the Red Templars, especially after what he saw the red lyrium do to Meredith. He has a very strong opinion on what it is to be a Templar (especially by the end of DA II) and I could see him trying to stay true to that.

 

I thought for a bit that we may meet him as the leader of a band of Templars that are still following the tenants of the Chantry. Trying to hold true to what he feels the order stands for, and gathering those Templars to him that feel the same.

I think that he not so much left the Templars, but that his position was taken from him in a sense. With the whole red Lyrium and the Templars that become addicted to it, as well as the Templars- Chantry- Mages conflict that has exploded, I think that the Templar order in a traditional sense is fractured, or at least, severely debilitated. I'm thinking that Cullen held onto his position as Knight Commander in Kirkwall until that eventually imploded. After that he would have the option of  moving to another city/circle or setting out on his own. Since it's implied that pretty much all of Thedas is affected by this conflict, as well as the development of Fade tears, etc, the chaos of it all could have given him cause to set out on his own, running kind of like a mercenary band of Templars, still working pretty much in line with the Templar ideals, but executed in the way that Cullen felt was fair and right- not out right killing all mages just because they're mages, but still fighting against abominations etc.

 

I could be absolutely completely off and this is all hogwash, but it was just a thought I had. I kind of like the idea of a mercenary Cullen, running his own order of Templars :D

He also aged backwards between DA:O and DA:II so our love interest plot won't be dealing with Templars vs. Mages but how difficult it is to love a man who is essentially Benjamin buttons great great great grandfather! ;)
