There are always options to do terrible things to companions in Dragon Age games; asking Anora to kill Alistair or selling Fenris to Danarius, for instance.

That something terrible COULD happen to Cullen doesn't mean terrible things WILL happen to Cullen.

I always wonder if those people who want to kill Cullen have taken into account the very likely outcome: your army abandons you. You just killed their commander! That's bound to lead to mass desertions. But then they would just complain about the game 'punishing' them for their choices.

Exactly. "I drove off or killed almost all of my companions, then I was 'punished' because I didn't have a full team for the Battle of Denerim." S***s to be you.

Cullen isn't a companion though,so far advisors appear to have a crucial role with the wartable and all,I wouldn't be surprised if they are irreplaceable.
However,this still doesn't mean that terrible things couldn't happen to him as well,but I think it's more likely to happen near the end of the plot.

I suspect it might have something to do with lyrium addiction. Maybe he'll have symptoms like Norman Jayden from Heavy Rain.

 

However, the devs have hinted that it's possible to outright lose to the Elder One, so maybe the advisers are not immortal...

Irreplaceable hardly means immortal,I'm just saying that I doubt that we'll get another general in Cullen's stead or spymaster in Leliana's for instance,if we kill them too early.
Which makes me suspect that if we can kill them off, we'll get the option towards the end.

Who knows? It would be a real curve ball if it happened somewhere in the middle.

[taviastrife]

Yeah I wouldn't want to see that either. That's something best experienced for ourselves, and would be right up there with showing us the ending.

Yeah, if they decide to show the first moments of the game, I won't be going near that livestream.  I regretted playing the ME3 demo back in the day; it was the whole opening of the game.  I still enjoyed it when I got the game, but the impact of it was greatly diminished.

Exactly! I want the first time I see that to be the first time I play it, my experience, not someone else's.

it'd be like going to watch an epic movie at the cinema after being told what's going to happen. Wont get the same effect if you know what to expect.

"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Is there any news on the keep

No ma'am, not at the moment. All we know is that it should open up fully by the end of October.

I'm trying not to speculate too much about Cullen (or about the game in general) because I don't really want to get attached to a headcanon and then need to redraft. That said, I've really enjoyed looking at all the lovely Cullen photos and fiction in this thread. I'm currently torn between saving a romance with him for an AmellCanon playthrough or if I'll just give into temptation when I roll up my QueenCouslandCanon, which is my canon as she was the first Warden I finished the game with.

 

The decision between Standard Canon and potential Narrative Continuity is turning out to be harder than I thought. (I know I'm going to build a KingCousland/LeliRomance/OGB World State in the Keep and given the characters in question just to see if anything interesting happens, I'm torn about that one too. )

 

 

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.

 

Hmm, well, you might be able to claim it through any computer that has Origins. You just need to log into your account, click on Origins, and say "yes, I want that!" then install it on your own computer when it gets to where ever you are. This is the nice thing about Steam/Origins, you don't need a physical copy, you can download it onto any computer you want. So, it's not really that big of impediment. All you need is a friend who is willing to let you borrow their computer and log in on your account. Easy. (Just remember to log out again afterwards.)

 

On the subject of a controller, I was that way too. My experiences were always with controllers and the idea of playing on a keyboard freaked me out. I worried it would be unfamiliar or too complicated but, while it did take a little getting used to, it turned out to be a lot of fun. Like I said, playing DA: Origins on a mouse and keyboard is an entirely different experience from playing it on the Xbox. Besides, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to jump into the backlog of RPGs and a lot of the new isometric ones which don't work with a controller (and are pretty cheap!). Just think about it. If you hate it, then you hate it. Nothing lost.

LOL This is exactly the Hawke I'm importing into the Cullen romance game.  

[fontofnothing]

I was still sad about there being no Cullen poster, so I threw some screenshots together and made myself a wallpaper:



Still wish we had an official poster, though.

 

EDIT: If anyone wants an actual wallpaper-sized version, here are the 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 versions. Screenshots weren't the greatest quality, but I tried to clean them up.

I think the real question is "why is he our commander in the first place?"

Why isn't she romancable I'll never know......

[Sister Goldring]

Ewww, that pictures not right!  Make it stop.  I mean, it's a lovely picture but......NO!  

[The Elder King]

I think the real question is "why is he our commander in the first place?"

Because He was good at restoring order in Kirkwall and probably shown leadership skill and some talent in leading an army, and Cassandra recruited him for that role.

[The Elder King]

Why isn't she romancable I'll never know......

Because They don't decide who is romanceable based necessarily by their looks, and in the case of Vivienne there's apparently a reason in-game for her lack of LI status.

[Panda]

I think the real question is "why is he our commander in the first place?"

 

Well it's quite easy to answer since it's stated in his character description in the dragonage.com: "His leadership and integrity caught the attention of Cassandra Pentaghast, who recognized in him a vital component in forming the Inquisition."

[Milady]

What Cassandra wants is the law. Obey!!

[wiccame]

I think the real question is "why is he our commander in the first place?"

Why wouldn't he be? He was high up in the chain of command in the templars and worked hard to restore order to Kirkwall. Cassandra was happy to make him commander.

The real question is, what makes us qualified to lead the inquisition, a nobody with no real leader skills that we know of or nothing substantial. 

Oh right...we have the glowy hand. A skill we could still use and NOT be leader.

I think Cullen is more than qualified to lead our armies more than we are qualified to lead the entire organisation.

While I agree on the PC's qualifications, the PC has Sort of the upper hand. He's the only one able to close the Fade rifts. He can theorically give Cass an ultimatum: either she makes him the leader or she can go try to stop the Breach by herself.
I doubt we'll have the option to say this in the game, but Cassandra might fear this outcome. Or maybe there's Something else We don't know. I admit that if the PC will become the boss just Because he'll show he can close the rifts, I'll be a bit disappointed.

Agreed. A lot of people seem to consider his inclusion in Inquisition fan service because "fangirls wanted to romance him" But remember that he wasn't even going to be a LI Also I really want to know why Cass decides to let you lead The inquisition,most of the companions are more experienced than The inquisitor
