I am imagining the Tevelyan mage as being ... probably 19-22. Because this takes place three years after the Kirkwall circle is disbanded? And they were an apprentice at the time in Ostwick?
Hmmm...did they say whether they were an apprentice or full mage? I had assumed my character would be done with her Harrowing already.

I'm headcannoning my Dalish elf mage as being in her late twenties, which is my age. Probably better suited for Cullen maturity wise but I'm not sure how the differing religions will work in the end.
We don't know the level of our Trevelyan mages in the Circle. I'm headcanoning mine as being a young Senior Enchanter of Ostwick. Probably 25-26.
Really? Weird. I have mine mentally close to about 30, which is younger than I am, but I don't consider it very young. Maybe it's just because I wedged so much into her back story already? Heh.
It's the whole "family wants you to join the Chantry-you may or may not agree." An older younger sibling should have either joined or had other responsibilities.

Oh yeah, we are way past Harrowing age.
I know I plan for my Trevelyan mage will be around her late twenties- twenty-nine to be precise. She would've already taken her Harrowing and I even headcanoned an idea where she had an apprentice, but not quite Senior Enchanter.
I remember my first play through of DA:O, I played a female elven mage and ran around blind with no guides or spoiler knowledge. I completely bypassed the cute templar standing in the corridor, and had no idea who Cullen was talking about when my mage came upon him again when she went back to a demon-infested tower.
On a third play-through, with a female human mage, I saw him in the corridor and finally interacted with him. And then I decided all my future mages had a crush on him, too.
That's what I meant, she took her Harrowing (which is when they reach adulthood, right? so around 18ish?) ... but had not been a full on mage for too long before the war broke out.
I'm sure we'll get more info down the road. I'd prefer mid to late twenties anyway, given how old Cullen is (which is mid to late thirties, right?)
Around mid thirties. Usually I imagine my characters fairly young (due to my age as well, so around early twenties), but with the age of the males, I actually plan to make them older. My Lavellan for Solas, for example, will be in her early to mid thirties. Same for my dwarf.
It's the whole "family wants you to join the Chantry-you may or may not agree." An older younger sibling should have either joined or had other responsibilities.
Actually, the text says similar path, not that you were forced to either be a Templar or priest, and simply that you were sent to assist relatives at the conclave. And I believe they reassured us about a month back that they've been careful not to force anyone into a particular relationship with a religion in the game. There are ways of serving the Chantry without taking vows (rogues - think of Leliana). You don't have to be a 20 year old. Frankly, if it turns out we're formally part of the chantry, I simply won't play a human rogue or warrior, ever. Just my preference.

Mmm, where does it say she had only been a full mage for a short time before the war broke out? I'm looking at the human mage description now. The only reference to age is when the text says you were forced into the circle at a young age. As far as I know, we can play any age in the spectrum they gave us (20 to 40ish I think?)
I usually play them really young which probably doesn't make sense considering the role of command they all take on, but at least for this game I'm thinking mid twenties to mid thirties, depending on the character.
It doesn't say much of anything. It's just the way I was headcannoning it.
Given the options available I'd prefer...
Trevelyan is almost forty, a mage of the circle because she had no talent for teaching. She leapt at the rebellion. This was her chance to finally *do* something and live up to the family legacy. On this war has brought nothing good to anyone and she's dipped into forbidden arts. She's wasted her life and her talent. All she can hope for is peace. And then....*she's* the Herald of Andraste? Perhaps, perhaps all is not lost.
I believe I can see mine trying to find some happiness in her position, hence why the rebellion hurts her views but she wants to rebuild what they lost and make things better.

OK, I was really confused on where you were getting the information that all human mages had recently undergone their harrowing, lol. Makes much more sense when I know you were just talking about your own mage.
I tend to not go too much into preplanning a background and just let things kind of develop neutrally. I change that with subsequent playthroughs when I am trying to go for a specific character that I intend to use to make the "harder" decisions.
I can see my female Trevelyan as being unsatisfied with the Circle the way it had been before but open to changes so long as the mages are actually consulted about those changes. But I can potentially see her being swayed toward the side of revolution as well. It's going to depend on the options available, I suppose.
And yeah ... sorry, everything I suggest is just headcannon. The descriptions are rather vague and I suspect that was deliberate so players could formulate their own backgrounds.

Thanks! I'll stop sifting through Google now. Heh.
Hey guys if you love Bioware then go state so on Twitter with the #IPlayBioware
On another note, how do you guys think the Cullen romance will go down. What are your desires, and what do you think will actually happen?

Whew, I thought I'd missed something, lol. I'd been headcannoning a human rogue in her mid-30s who'd danced a balancing act by being too useful as a spy for both her family and the chantry to have her do a runner if they tried to force her to take vows. And I headcannon a warrior probably in her mid-20s who'll help when they want her to but told her family if they forced her to take vows, she'd disgraced them by promptly seducing everyone in the chantry and mage tower she could and make sure it went public (she's not subtle).

My desires for Cullen romance...perhaps the singing part, as a soothing for a distraught Inquisitor? Or he sings and we catch him in the act?

I would if I had a Twitter account.
Tishina: I love your headcannon or your human warrior. 
I want my Cullen romance to be full of long drawn out "respectful" debates regarding the Maker, Chantry law, mage rights, etc.
I should also say that I don't really want an overly shy Cullen. I want him slightly more stern and that conflict of mage/Templar to always kind of be there in the background. But obviously I'd like to be able to overcome it in the end.
I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever we get though. We've been waiting long enough after all.
It seems we all have pretty simple wishes, so I think they may be achieved to at least some extent. I just like asking these kinds of questions so I can kinda hypothesize how likely something is going to happen.
Is bioware doing a special promotion right now if we tweet that?
Because I have a twitter but I almost never use it.
I love hearing everyone's ideas for their characters and their expectations, so keep asking away.

Most of my warriors aren't subtle . I don't want an overly shy Cullen either, it would seem weird at his age and with his command experience. A little reserved, maybe, is that the term I want?
I'm feeling pretty confident in the writers, especially when I look at some of the previous NPCs some of them have written. I just hope they get over the PC noodle arms

Not really they are just favoriting and replying to some Tweets, it's just a way for some of us to show appreciate after people attacking them.
