I wish we could go back there just to see how bad the place is. I heard banter from Varric and Cassandra (during one of those recent DAI gameplay vids) where they mention the current state of Kirkwall and it sounds like it's in a pretty bad way. I'd really like to see what it's like now in the Frostbite engine... maybe if we're lucky will get a DLC featuring it or something?
...I kinda would rather see Nevarra.

... Another scar? Or maybe that's how he gets the lip scar? Or he's just trolling. God damn, the sooner this game ships the better!
There we go, Derek just confirmed that his Inquisitor is a male. So it's angst not relating to a romance-arc then... good to know!

Maybe he cut himself shaving?
Cullen: *holding razor* Alright, slowly. Got to make it nice and smooth for love bug. *starts dragging blade down his cheek*
Inquisitrix: *barging in* Make what 'nice and smooth'?
Cullen: *startled* Ahhh! *cuts lip* Ow!
Inquistrix: Oh! I'm so sorry muffin cake! Here! Let me help you! *holds cloth to cut*
Cullen: Ow! Why did just burst in like that?
Inquisitrix: Oh, Sister Nightingale had something she wanted to tell you.
Cullen: *going pale* She's in the room, isn't she?
Leliana: That's right, 'muffin cake'. *smirk*
Cullen: Why me?
You can get the standard Xbox controller for the PC. You just plug it into the USB port. No muss, no fuss. Since it's what you're used to, you don't even have to relearn the controls! However, I also suggest getting Origins for your PC and try it out with the PC controls. (It's free on Origin until the 15th, no bells and whistles though.) It's a very different game, but there's a lot of nuance there. Plus, the tactical camera. I'd never go back to the Xbox. Also, the ability to use 20 abilities on a bar that goes all the way across the screen is a plus. Origins is where I learned to play on the PC with a mouse and keyboard.
I was wondering about this... (free DAO) ... unfortunately my PC does not get here until the 16th! Talk about terrible timing! But I'm not sure I could ever get used to playing an RPG with a mouse and keyboard. Feels too mechanical! Been playing on consoles since I was a little kid; that's where it's at for me! About the only thing I can use mouse and keyboard is the Sims. And that's gonna be hard now b/c the PC will sit under my TV lol! I guess I can use a TV tray.
Oh gawd...if our PCs give their LIs lovenames in anything other than jest, I'm going to vomit
Seconded!I really hate pet names,for some reason.
If there are any sort of nicknames or pet names I just hope they give you the option of using them or not. Like how you can decide if you let James call Shepard by a nickname or not in ME3.Seconded!I really hate pet names,for some reason.

James nicknames didn't actually bother me much cause they felt personal and well nicknames. But if there is something like baby or honey.. please no.

You could still try going to the Origin website, logging in, and clicking the "Get It Now" button here when you mouse over Dragon Age: Origins. A modal window did pop up telling me that I needed Origin installed to download the game, but I closed that and my "order" still went through. It's in my order history, and I now have Dragon Age: Origins in my Origin library twice. I would think that you could then download the game when your PC is ready.
I NEED MORE CULLEN!!! Please Bioware....I am going through withdrawal at this point.

This is correct-o, you can "claim" DAO on the Origin website while it's free and it'll permanently add the game to your library, to be downloaded at your leisure. I claimed it (and Bejeweled, hey, it's for free 
) for my cousin's account, and she's only getting her new laptop for Christmas. The games will just sit in your library until whenever you wanna download them.

Is it bad that this I think this tweet is kinda hot? 
Cullen's battlescars are so sexy that even Derek's Assquisitor can't resist their charm.
Looking back at Derek's tweets (unless I missed one): maybe if you're locked into a romance with someone else or are non-romanceable by Cullen, someone starts hitting on him heavily and he clearly doesn't know what to do about it? I could see those comments in that situation.
Edited: or maybe not. I just found the complete thread. Still, there does seem to be some pranking involved...

For those interested in the KE spec, Patrick Stated (in response of my question) They wield a spirit blade for melee in the left, and the staff in the Right.
KE dual wielding like Gandalf FTW!
Intresting choice to have both staff and blade. The mental image of that is bit akward but I guess that's just cause I haven't seen that combination before ^^ It'll be intresting to see in the game at least!

Holy moly! This just put my KE playthrough (with Cullen romance) to the top of the list!
I think the decision here depends on how much stock you put in the mage/templar subplot. I don't care for it so the mage Inquisitor/Templar Cullen dramatic tension really doesn't appeal to me - other players here in the thread are all about that storyline and their whole romances hinge on that conflict. It's all different approaches, so it's more a matter of considering where you fall on that line.
The "immature, impetuous rich, spoiled, bad girl type rogue" more or less describes my Inquisitor I'm romancing Cullen with (there's a lot more to her than that, but it's a good start). I specifically chose a non-mage class because I wanted to give Cullen a more lightweight romance that didn't revolve around the same mage/templar drama that haunts every other aspect of his life; we know there's some manner of conflict in his character subplot anyway, so I'll be leaving all the tension for that. But with the more "bratty" personality my Quiz developed, I think it can be a really fun romance, Ser Frowny Serious Business and miss I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing. Mostly, I want to make him smile with my rogue. Get his head out of that mindset of constant vigilance and make him open up, allow himself to be happy for a change. I think a rogue with Cullen would be particularly good for him, because they fuel on fun and run life on easy mode, and he needs some of that in his life - but a warrior can also be interesting to roleplay, specially if she takes the Templar specialization and has that much in common with him.
But! If you prefer drama to easy riding, there's the mage angle to go for. I'd be mindful of how much you're willing to bend on that "staunchly anti-Templar" angle, though, because even though Cullen is willing to romance a mage, I'm not sure he's willing to romance one who is against everything he holds most dear. Since rivalmances are gone and positive/negative approval are back, I'm thinking radical anti-Templar Inquisitors will have to bend on their position as much as Cullen on his, or the romance might never take off. That's something to keep in mind.
I don't think any of us should make the decision for you. Think on what you want from the romance, which angle you'd rather explore, and it'll come to you. Worst case scenario, there's always that distant second playthrough to explore the angle you missed on the first.

Cullen didn't want to be coddled so I took that to heart. He's a real trooper.
