I always save the blond hair for my evil protagonistis. My good guy protagonists are always brunettes or redheads
Wait a second, Cullen has blond hair... and if your blond evil Inquisitor romances him, does that mean they'll have anti-hero children? ![]()

Funny, my first and most goody-goody Hawke had blond hair ![]()
Seeing the countdown in seconds makes me weep a little inside. Then I think of it in terms of weeks, and I feel better
My youngest daughter would do countdowns in seconds. Well, weeks, days, hours and seconds in total. I would laugh at her.
Cullen, because there aren't any pictures on this page:

Let's just say that it's probably better for everybody if my blonde protagonists don't reproduce, even with Cullen. My blondes tend to be the execute-Alistair, slaughter-the-Dalish, let-Redcliffe-fall and hand-Isabela-to-the-Arishok kind of protagonists.

But not give Fenris back to Danarius, surely! ![]()

No, no, no. I've never been able to do that, not even with blonde Hawke. That's too evil even for her. I watched that part on Youtube, that was enough to make me never want to do it. Poor Fenris.
I know Eric has been doing a countdown, but I decided to do a countdown clock. This is for the NA release:
Countdown To Dragon Age: Inquisition
Also, a Public Service Announcement:
#DAI PC spec announcement coming next week.
sweet looks like i will be able to play DAI on the time it releases in NA
yay

Ok, Cullen is gorgeous in that screenshot. Just an observation.

As I recall, that's the closeup of him after you defeat Meredith. It's been a while.
The part about giving Fenris to Danarius...I could never bring myself to even watch it, let alone do it. Even though he acted like a jerk to Merrill, he doesn't deserve that horror.
Now if there was a choice to send Anders to the Templars in attempts to stop his plan...yeah...I would do that.

Giving Fenris to Denarius is one of the few decisions that I could never make in Dragon Age, not even in the freaking Keep. There are justifications (of varying quality) for a lot of the less pleasant things you can do in DA, but there's no reason to sell Fenris back into slavery other than petty cruelty.
As for Anders, I think I would've rather killed him myself to stop his plan. The last time a templar tried to take him in, it didn't go so well for the templar, and I don't want my poor noodlehead caught in that crossfire
Sure, Justice might still be around after I'm through with him, but it's pretty hard to possess a host who's been reduced to his base components.
Very good point with Anders...but with Fenris, you had to have hated him if you wanted to send him back.Giving Fenris to Denarius is one of the few decisions that I could never make in Dragon Age, not even in the freaking Keep.

So, to bring the CC back to Cullen...
Does anyone plan, for artistic/aesthetic reasons, to create their Cullen romancer's appearance for visual effect? Contrast - dark hair to light, or similar - same hair color, etc.?
Yup, I hate the Lannister effect where both parts of a couple look like siblings, so I always make my couples heavy in contrast. Dark-haired Wardens for Alistair and Zevran, dark-haired Hawkes for Sebastian and Fenris, light-haired Hawke for Isabela, now light-haired Inquisitor for Josie, dark-skinned for Blackwall, etc. Contrast is my chief keyword.
So I concepted Ariana's looks as opposite as possible to Cullen's. Where he's all white and blonde and basic now (I miss tan ginger Cullen NGL
), Ari is all dark-skinned and dark-haired, to make a more interesting aesthetic contrast between the two them.

Yes, I don't like a couple to look uncomfortably alike, though sometimes they get some similarities like hair color if they look different enough otherwise. I tend to vary between opposites and different-but-complementary most of the time. My Trevelyan mage will probably dark haired (preferably curly), medium skin, violet eyes, and sharp, somewhat thin features. If I can make it work, anyway, sometimes I think of something like that and then it looks dreadful in the CC. ![]()
Hmm I'll be romancing Iron Bull... with elves... so I don't think there's an issue
They won't look alike ![]()

I'm mostly bothered by it if my PC looks too much like any of the other characters. It won't be a problem for DA:I since the only other female elf in the party is Sera, and she and my Lavellan are different as night and day. But for DA:O, I worked myself into a tizzy remaking my Warden so she didn't look like Leliana.

I made a male Cousland, and it was kind of hard to make him not look like Alistair... evidently, "good-looking" equals Alistair in that game
My Mahariel also almost always looks like Tamlen, just with different colored hair. I think that's just the nature of the DAO CC.

I actually gave up on Male Cousland, because I couldn't make him not look like Alistair without also making him not look like his family.
I think you're right about the DA:O CC, though. There's one, maybe two decent presets to work off of, so everyone's Wardens wind up looking vaguely related. DA:I at least looks like it has a lot of interesting, varied presets.
One of my Cousland's ended up looking way too much like Morrigan, and completely by accident. The only other times I did that was deliberate to make someone look like family members.

I have two pretty evil Wardens. They are both black-haired, pale skinned Cousland's, 2h warriors as well and they both have black eyes too. Lol, they surely are brother and sister, Idk how that even happened!
I have 1 blue blond Hawke and 1 red blond Hawke so blond is pretty in the middle.
EDIT: Again for the top? Two in the same day jeez!

The talk about hair color caused me to go look at my DAO Wardens. Apparently I like black hair more than I realized:
Black hair - 5
Blond hair - 3
Red hair - 2 (both CEs)
White hair - 1
There was one brunette (the HN I tried to make look like her family), but she was a victim of the harddrive crash.
If I want to make Trevelyan remind Cullen of one of my mages, I should have picked blond or white hair instead of black. Oh well.
