Better late than never,

 

 

 

I made a thing!

Jeebus, I love Marvin Gaye.

I think there's room for a temporary slogan, at the least we can always change the title of the thread in a few weeks when something new comes out about him.

[morie91]

I'm sorry I made you feel that way! I tend to be a little terse on my phone, so mea culpa for not being more diplomatic.

There's nothing wrong at all with throwing around ideas. Or even seeing which ideas the folks who participate in your poll like more.

But as the others have said far more eloquently than I, when words like 'official' get thrown around it starts to get under people's skin. We're a very diverse group with very little official anything... Outside of this thread.

 

ohhhh don't worry about me, i won't hold it against you... maybe i'm just a little bit too sensitive, and scared of being thrown out of the group, or scared of the feeling of not belonging anywhere... so not a big deal, just my "super anti-social skills" in game (:

 

i'll be more cautious next time (: 

[rapscallioness]

on a more serious note, though. do you all think Cullen was planned to even be an advisor all along? Or was he put in the role when they decided to "give him a chance" at romance w/the extra time they then had?

Well, I'll worry all the same, as we welcome your creativity and love that you've joined the thread! So no worries.

I'm going to keep that slogan generator.. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

 

Hi Brush!

 

If there's really a need for a catch phrase, can I humbly submit "Came for the Cullen, stayed for the company"? It's been something we've rocked on our Cullen banners since way back. 

This may be a weird time to bring this up, but it does remind me of a concern I've had: when the game drops in a few months (eeeee!!) this whoooole thread will change from one where Cullen fans who are excited about him come together, to one where ANYONE who has played the game and has something they want to say about Cullen will come to put their thoughts on the table.

It won't always feel like a big happy family in here anymore, and we've no right to shut anyone out who doesn't share our enthusiasm. So just... I hope we can all be mentally prepared for those changes, mentally prepared for some of us to even be shocked or let down by what the writers may choose to do with him, and also prepared to be perfectly decent to the horde of new faces and new (or old) opinions we'll be inundated with before long.

It's easy for me to feel a sense of group ownership over this place because it's been just we very committed fans for five years now, but that won't stop the very strong fan reaction now that he's such a big deal. :/

 

 

It's not a weird time. Better now than later

 

In all honesty, one of the last times we had someone poke their head in, I was surprised and mildly shocked when a few people told them to just go read the fine FAQ on the first page because they were sick and tired of answering the same question. That's not how we usually welcome people when they come in to ask questions, and I'd hope it wouldn't be repeated. It made me sad. If someone does not want to re-type something they've said 50 times before, just remember that you haven't said it 50 times before to that person. They are here for the first time. Have a blurb saved in a text file if that makes it easier, and there are even browser plugins that you can keep long phrases that you use often in, for immediate pasting into whatever page you're on. It's not hard to be nice.. until it's time to not be nice (apologies to Mr. Swayze).

 

Ok sorry, I had to get that off my chest.

 

That said, we should definitely be prepared, as they are definitely going to arrive. There will be many who love, and many who hate, and all sorts in between. I know that we will all welcome them, and Lola can cuss out the trolls   No? Ok then, we don't want any more bannings

If people would be thrown out, I'd have been tossed out on my ear long ago. Don't you worry! *hugs*

Sorry raps, you can't escape us now.

I feel you, Morie91. I experience that as well ( I always feel like I'm not geeky enough for self-proclaimed geeks, and the "popular kids" don't like me either. Too many experiences of gatekeeper behavior with both, I guess).

 

That's a long way of saying: if I haven't been kicked out, you sure as heck ain't gonna be! *hugs*

[rapscallioness]

alright i gotta go run errands. sigh. but hey i'm picking up my new xbox 1--tinysquee--and my new free game that comes with....maybe  watchdogs? idk.

 

be back later!

[jtav]

Heck, if I haven't been thrown out yet, almost no one will be.

[morie91]

And yes, Morie, you Belong. In fact, --to make it official--you are now knighted! henceforth to be known as Ser Morie91--Knight of the Cullenite Clan!

 

 

 

 

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THANK YOU!

 

i promise to fight with the world's poverty and hunger, and fight with cullen haters ;p

i dream of peace around the world and ramen for everyone ;u;

Yeah I think he was planned to be an advisor all along, ML just said with the extra time they were able to make Cullen and Solas a romance. After all, the advisors seem to have a lot impact in DA:I so if they just added Cullen later on then I think we would probably be waiting past November for DA:I.

It does interest me that neither of the two most popular fan-requested characters were not going to be LIs originally.

Wow. Again, I just marvel at how lucky we are.  After all this, now that we're used to the idea and looking forward to it...thinking he might not have been an LI is just a nightmare. 

[Milady]

Oeh, nice vid! And love the fanart. Well done you both!

Indeed Macy, but also think that if it hadnt been delayed for a year we wouldnt have a lot of things. I was furious and incredibly disappointed last year.. But now I am so glad that they did it.

Too bad we cant watch the polls results xd. Can you keep us updated on the results Morie? I'm curious about the results!

[morie91]

[Milady]

Lol I just reread my post. I sure want some 'results'. Damn you tired brain for not allowing some creativity! (Non-native English speaker)

I think this is an important point, that this is a discussion thread, not a fan thread. Deliberately. And we welcome all civil discussion and new perspectives.

I have to respectfully disagree on the usefulness of the FAQ tho. I don't recall any exact instance to which you may be referring, but I think directing someone respectfully to the FAQ to answer a "frequently asked question" is fine. I think we should also invite that person back to discuss once their curiosity is (or isn't) satisfied. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect that we should feel obliged to repeat the exact same answer every single time, when we're busy and not always in possession if some file with canned, cut-and-pastable responses. Our canned responses are already on the thread, in the FAQ.

I think it should also be said, we're also not a hive mind here as a service to the community. We're a random collection if individuals checking in as we can. If someone wants to launch into an answer they may, and often do. To be honest, I think referring someone to the FAQ is better than ignoring it altogether.

I feel like serenai's point may be directed me since in the last few days I think I have directed someone to the FAQ twice. Both times, I feel like the people with questions did not enter the thread as though they necessarily wanted a civil discussion as they did seem somewhat hostile to Cullen and his role in Inquisition. However, I did try my best to explain why I disagreed with their viewpoint politely and respectfully and offered my own insight into his character. However, I feel I'm not the best at expressing myself at times so I offered up the FAQ as a means to have what I wanted to say said right, as I feel the FAQ does that very well. I'm not opposed to discussing to people who aren't fans of Cullen, I feel like it is important for the discussion to take place between people who are in some agreement about who the character is and why Cullen has acted the way he has acted, because if we disagree on the fundamental, core points of the character, it will just end up in a heated argument.

I apologise if I came off as rude to whoever thought I was, but know that it wasn't my intention.

This is what I like about the Cullen thread everyone gets along!

[BioFan (Official)]

So from what I've seen over on the twitter thread, there MAY be something new on Saturday. 

[jtav]

Need some advice:
 

Do you consider the existence of a female mage Warden to enhance or detract from the future romance. Creating my world states. (game, not Keep)
