Has it been established why Cullen wears that Lion mask-helmet thing. Is he related to Celene (Golden Lion family crest)?
No, and, Doubtful ![]()

I don't think anyone has said anything on it and we don't know much about his past. His writer eluded to finding those things out in-game however.
As for the reason of it being a lion it could be several things. Lions are common in terms of heraldry. Celine's coat of arms has it as well as the Theirin families heraldry (which has two). Also there is the symbolism that a lion stands for: regal, stately, powerful (as Levi Dryden also makes the reference to people saying his family had the heart (or blood, can't remember off the top of my head) of lions.
Or it can be none of those and I'm way off base and it's for those with a kink for masks. (I admit to nothing.)

Basically, this. No devs have commented on the lion specifically, but the lion also seems to be a symbol associated with the military branch of the Inquisition so far. It shows up on Adamant Keep when it's upgraded military style (but not the other two styles) and is featured in the iconography on the Keep once upgraded on the War Table map. Now, it could be Orlesian, but I think it's even less likely that it's connected specifically to Celene.No, and, Doubtful

I just thought Lion=Grrrr=Fighting.
My point A to point B is pretty juvenile at times. ![]()
Maybe Eric will pop in with cookies to help cheer you up. And I'm sorry about Varric
... Did someone say cookies? ![]()

I especially like the last one. How thoughtful to provide milk with the cookies.
That is literally the ONLY image of a sexy milkman I could find on google images XD

*SNIP*
Was Varric announced as not being a romance then? I dropped by the Twitter thread but the thread confuses me so I only went back a few pages to figure out what everyone was going on about before I gave up.
I'm sort of new to this game but I guess I sort of always assumed they wouldn't make him a LI because of Bianca. I think the other romance will be Blackwall, but that may just be wishful thinking. At least we have Cullen!
Gamermd's done mad libs. I've never done them before, I'm not sure if they properly made it across the pond, but I did a DA one! My words are obviously the ones in capitals.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. CULLEN APOSTITUTES,
Will you let me CONJURE your TEMPLAR? Ever since I have laid LYRIUM MUTATIONS on VIVIENNE, I have ANNULED madly in love with her. I wish that she will be the SWORD OF MERCY of my QUNARI and that someday we will B!TCH happily ever after. I have a GIANT NOSE as a/an EMPRESS OF ORLAIS that pays $3 each month. I promise to EAT VIVIENNE with kindness and respect.
Sincerely,
SCHMOOPLES PRINCESS STABBITY
My "Dream Man" should, first of all be very Cuddly and Scandalous. He should have a physique like Alistair, a profile like Dorian, and the intelligence of a Nug. He must be polite and must always remember to Twerk my Blood Magic, to tip his Malificarum and to take my EMBARGO! when crossing the street. He should move sexually, have a Fierce voice, and should always dress Frozen. I would also like him to be a Quite Large dancer, and when we are alone he should whisper Luscious nothings into my Ba-Donk-A-Donk and hold my Phallic Staff. I know a Templar is hard to find. In fact the only one I can think of is Cullen
Finally got to watch it! That was pretty awesome and sweet that he included the kids in it. ![]()

Just some personal musings but I wonder how long it will take me to get to the Cullen Romance. I am kinda worried that I will have most of it spoiled for me. Since I know my first playthrogh will be a Cassandra Romance. Then I just know if I make a female Inquisitor I will prob romance Sera first. So I just know my curiosity plus this board and youtube will end up spoiling Cullen Romance for me.....
*dies* (I swear this was random)
Cullen's person add:
I enjoy long, Demonic walks on the beach, getting Twerked in the rain and serendipitous encounters with Nugs. I really like piña coladas mixed with Lyrium Potion, and romantic, candle-lit Malificarum. I am well-read from Dr. Seuss to The Queen Of Antiva. I travel frequently, especially to My Bedroom, when I am not busy with work. (I am a Templar.) I am looking for beauty in the form of an Orlesian goddess. She should have the physique of Celene and the Milkshake That Brings All The Boys To The Yard of Vivienne. I would prefer if she knew how to cook, clean, and wash my EMBARGO. I know I’m not very attractive in my picture, but it was taken OVER 9000! days ago, and I have since become more f-ing awesome.

Mike Laidlaw confirmed it earlier today:

So, yes, I’ll confirm: Varric is not a love interest in #DAI. I’ll see what I can do about getting a post up dispelling remaining mysteries.
Mike Laidlaw @Mike_Laidlaw
It's worth noting that we did not make the Varric decision lightly. I know some of you are disappointed.
Oh my god, Eric! Stop it, I can't breath! And I've had a wisdom tooth pulled out and it hurts to laugh. "Wash my embargo" lazy shite.
Though I won't say no
The "milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard" of Vivienne XD

Ah, thanks. I'm not a twitterererrrer...I'm not a twitterer? I don't twitter. Tweet? Whatever it is I don't do it so thanks for posting them.![]()

I thought it was a tongue? ![]()
I thought it was a tongue?
Yeah. The lion on his helm is sticking out its tongue, so in this picture I believe he's sticking his tongue back out at it the same way.

I'm mostly on Twitter to see what the devs have to say... and make sure Allan Shumacher goes to bed at a reasonable hour... ![]()
