Hope fem!Qunari can have some huge badass horns. So far in the concept arts (for DAI specifically), they all have little stubs.
Minion #24: Inquisitor! The scouts have finished investigating the stronghold, it appears as though all the Red Templars have been killed or evacuated.
Inquisitor: Good, we shall begin preparations at-*THUNK*
Minion #24: Maker are you alright?
Varric: *sigh* You'd think she'd learn to walk through doors sideways by now.

So I am back from my (rather whirlwind) trip to Pennsylvania. Somehow managed to come down with a cold, and am now all sneezy and stuffy. I didn't have internet while I was away - anything happen I should know about? It'll take me awhile to catch up with the thread!

Nope.
Nope.
Thanks! Makes sense, being a holiday weekend and all. 
Perhaps we should steer back on topic? I feel the gaze of the devs upon us. *hint, hint*
So in terms of companions, I put together these fancy charts:

I read that as "PROBE-able".

This looks right, although you forgot Cole. Which is hilarious, when you think about it.
Current mood: feeling slightly more confident than average about Cullen's chances of being a companion!

They said a character would return, doesn't mean the character is a companion
I never said otherwise. Simply, Cole's a possible companion via the survey leak, and thus warrants a spot.

That's what the "?" is for. He has no official concept art.

OH. I had no idea what those "?" were for. Makes sense!
So here's something I used to wonder about which may bear dusting off now that we know Cullen's a LI. Given how duty-bound he is, I always imagine him having very strong opinions about chain of command. So, now imagine Cullen is the Inquisitor's subordinate and he reports to her/him. Or say, Cullen's not technically under the Inquisitor (no pun intended, hurr hur hurr), so it's not really fraternization, but she/he still outranks him. How would this impact a romance? How would he feel about it? How would your Inquisitor feel about it?
(edited to be more appropriately gender neutral. thanks eluvianix!)

I do think it's a factor.
I think exactly how it factors in would depend on the specific capacity in which Cullen works for the Inquisitor and whether he still sees himself as a templar or not. If the Templar Order is his primary hierarchy in his mind, it may not be a major concern even if he's currently reporting to the Inquisitor. I don't think he would have an issue being with someone who technically outranks him if neither is the other's direct superior. If he sees the Inquisitor as his direct superior, however, I can definitely see him having concerns about the appropriateness of starting a relationship.
My Inquisitor wouldn't worry about it unless Cullen did, in which case she'd try to reassure him. She's never been in any sort of military organization and would tend to be more informal in how she structures her chain of command.

I could see him being a rather dominant lover, and I'd totally be cool with that.

Interesting. I tend not to see him that way. I do think he'd take the lead at times, but I also think he would enjoy his partner taking the lead and would be very responsive to what his partner likes/wants.
Of course we have no way to know till we see him... um... in action, as it were.

Well, depending on the circumstances, Cullen might still view himself as part of the templars. Thus, having a relationship with the Inquisitor, who is not part of the Chantry and is powerful enough to protect themselves, could be seen as a positive. If Cullen feels he's part of the Inquisition, that means he's probably left the templars for some reason, and he might no longer feel beholden to their rules and regulations.
Or perhaps Cullen remembers his inappropriate crush on Amell/Surana and is especially sensitive to rankings and power structure. He might be wary about not his own rank in relation to the Inquisitors, but, rather, how his own subordinates will see him, if he's an NPC, or how the other companions will react, if he's a follower.
My own Inquisitor will have different views based on who they are. Ashtal will have no problem, Kushem will find it amusing, Cookie... dunno, she's my first-at-bat. A human mage might be uncomfortable with their own feelings for him.

Well, just because he could be more assertive in bed doesn't mean he would be less attentive. I guess I just like the more dominant ones lol
