Even if he did, it was in act 1, roughly One year and half after the Blight. He could've moved on Already in the other Two acts.

 

Yup.  And the line doesn't come up at all if The Warden is anything other than a female mage.  Errr...right? 

[john-in-france]

@ The Elder King.

Act 2 was when he said it.

[john-in-france]

@ Lady Shayna: Correct, Solona Amell warden necessary for the line to happen..

[Tishina]

@Tishina and Basement Cat...am I a bad person for wanting a Cullen that is not awkward about sex? Maybe his is the romance where you can gently say no to his first suggestion then get to know him properly. The game can not arrive fast enough.

 

In DA2 he still has a major crush on Amell...'I knew an Amell once, never met her like again...' let's hope he grows out of that little fixation, because being in another persons romance shadow is creepy.

Oh, I didn't think he was still infatuated with Amell at that point, more admiration of who she became as a warden. And no, you aren't a bad person because I would really prefer that he isn't genuinely awkward myself. A little reserved and maybe even a little nervous at initiating a romance, but not awkward, though that may be the way I describe and interpret "awkward". By the time you reach the point of sex, I would hope he felt certain enough of both you and himself to not be more than a little nervous (and who isn't the first time with someone?)

 

I hope that made sense, sigh. Waking up at 4 am isn't improving my ability to communicate this morning even with coffee.

Of course not. Actually this time around I wonder if any of them will be awkward about sex considering their age and the circumstances. The world is ending for Maker's sake. If you like someone you don't act whishy-washy about it: you tell them.

 

I could see Cullen being very blunt about it at first then going all marshmallow fluff on us when he is accepted.

[QueenofFereldan]

I hope he is more confident this time. XD Poor guy lost out to Zevran because he was too nervous and awkward with my Amell.

[The Elder King]

@ The Elder King.
Solas isn't Dalish, but female Elven quizzie is. DAO, DA2 and Masked Empire all show that Elves with magical abilities are welcome to join Dalish tribes...for the first time in his life he'll be running towards something rather than away from it.

But you're Assuming That he'd want to raise His child in a dalish clan. It was already stated that he did meet dalish during his travels, but didn't want to join them. He doesn't think he's dalish.

@ The Elder King.
Act 2 was when he said it.

I recall it was in Act 1. I'll take Your word on this, Since I didn't play a DA2 playthrough with a Mage circle Origin in a long time.

Agreed.  It may be that he's just so focused on doing his job that you may have to flirt with him a few times before it sinks in that the Inquisitor might be serious.  I mean, he may be hesitant in confirming that is the case, but be more confident thereafter.  We'll see soon enough, I suppose.  

[QueenofFereldan]

Yeah it was Act 2 because he makes a mention of Hawke reviving the Amell name in Hightown.

[Tishina]

Yes, I have a hard time seeing any of them as really shy, barring possibly Solas due to living like a hermit. And a blunt, assertive Cullen would be (for me) a pleasant surprise, especially if it was followed by a kind of quiet but open affection (overly strong PDA always strikes me as having more to do with p*****g on the landmarks to keep other people away than genuine affection). It would definitely push Ryumka up to the "primary" of my simultaneous PTs.

I could see this too, especially since he may have had to develop a certain level of unresponsiveness to casual flirting (female templars and mages particularly) to stay professional.

Uh, what? TME, at the very least, did no such thing. Hell, Briala wasn't even given the option to join the Dalish clan.

Just what I was thinking.  *looks suspicious*  You have any ESP before coffee?

True, though he seems to refer to elves with magical abilities, Not everyone.
Though I doubt the clan in TME will accept a Circle Elf mage anyway.

[Tishina]

Since the only real thought in my head is "no, you can't call in sick and go back to bed", I'm pretty sure not.

 

Not that it's hard to guess he'd have a lot of people, male and female, flirt with him at some point, it's just the templars and mages who, by necessity, he had to discourage.

[john-in-france]

@Eluvianus Rex:

Briala was not a mage, Mihris, the First, was adopted into the clan. TME

DAO the First in the clan werewolf/elf quest was an outsider who was adopted into the clan.

DA2 We have a scout adopted by Maretharis clan, and they were open to allowing Feynriel in as well, Merrill comments that outsiders are sometimes allowed, especially if they have magic.

That's assuming Solas even wants to join the Dalish, since he's never felt the need to do so before.

 

Take Feynriel for example. He mentions to Hawke in DA2 that while the tribe never made him unwelcome despite being elf-blooded, they were wary of his unique abilities as a Somniari and how this put him at risk of possession even more than an average mage, which led him to becoming somewhat isolated since he had few save the Keeper to discuss this with.

 

I could see Solas' similar abilities leading to similar mistrust and making him something of a pariah, so it'd be no real different from being a hermit.

Consider This, howewer, every clan has a different stance. For example, The Sabrae clan accept easily every elf, while the clan in TME thinks

Spoiler

city elves are lost cause.

It doesn't change the fact the Solas seems to not want to be part of a clan.

[john-in-france]

Most is just speculation on Solas and his attraction to only female Elves...let's be honest here...we don't really know what the reason is until we play the game. However since Solas is FAR down my LI list...I expect someone will tell me before I ever play it.

[Hellion Rex]

@Eluvianus Rex:

I sincerely doubt Mihris was a city elf. Does it not seem weird that a former City elf would have so much disdain and cruelty towards another City elf, calling them "flat ear" and such?

Yeah, Solas is far down my list too. I'll be focusing on the ladies first, but Cullen is the first male romance I'm going to try.

[Panda]

I'm very worried that Solas is only into fem!elf since he wants babies.. that's why I'm not intrested of his romance at all in this point although until race-gating I was pretty into it.

[Tishina]

I'm sure the writers will find all sorts of ways to surprise us, which is half the fun...

Exactly. The Sabrae clan accepted Feynriel easily, while his mother Arianni's own tribe didn't want anything to do with them.

[CuriousArtemis]

I don't think there needs to be a story reason for it, he just simply likes women, same as gay men like males and lesbians like females. I'm curious about why Solas and Cullen won't romance certain races though, there's definitely a story reason behind that... for Solas, at least.

He's a character.... he was written straight for a reason, whether for story reasons (unlikely) or practical reasons.

[The Elder King]

Well, it's possible he was written as straight before they decided to add him as a Romance, though that Would mean There was a reason for him being straight in his plot.
