As for our LI choices... the only thing that makes me not want a whole ton of choices is the budget. Spreading the romance budget across more characters has to mean less content for each-- and NPCs will, of course, get even less content than the companion romances. So just thinking about that makes me pause and possibly fret a little...

 

But! That doesn't stop me from being happy about what I saw in that trailer~

I think it's better to see the game first Maybe the NPC romances will be ten times better than all the rest put together?  (Maybe Cullen will bake you a cake every time you return home. I like cakes.)

[Damate]

Mmm... Cullen. The fluffy hair...the eyes... The broad chest... And seemingly huuuuuge...
...boots.




You know who is conspicuously absent from the trailer and especially the last supper scene? (Yeah, I'ma call it that from now on) -- Morrigan. Which makes me wonder juuuuust what kind of role she's playing.

Going by purely aesthetic tastes and character design based on the war room image...

 

For me:

 

Dramatic hands guy-- GOOD LORD I NEED THIS. Dark hair and strong features! And his robes have major swag.

Beardy Grey Warden. 

Varric

Vivienne

Cassandra

Cullen

Girl, you know where it's at!

[SamaraDraven]

I know I for one am happy! Elf girl looks hella cute and we do have Cullen! Seeing him at all makes it more real. I would prefer he had full companion status, tis true. Primarily this is due to my belief that an NPC won't have as much of a story and I worry this will happen with Cullen, this making the fanservice accusations seem to have some merit. If he's in, I'd like to see him have some importance for being there and I guess I just don't yet fully believe that is possible with an NPC. I'm putting my faith in the devs though. But I think him being an NPC could also have some advantages. For one, the devs can use him and we get what we want without the players who hat him feeling to spurned at having him take up a precious LI slot. It's a compromise. And I'm all about compromises. Can't complain that I'm not getting everything I want if I argue in favor of compromises when it suits me.

Also, since the thread discussed the whole chain of command thing with Cullen being a problem and it is a legit concern, this is a way of getting around that. Cullen also makes sense as an advisor, much as I hate to admit it. Yes he can also stomp through the bushes with the PC but then he's just a number of your party and the player is calling the shots. Cullen, if he has any kind of position or clout wouldn't just be following the Inquisitor's orders. If he splits from the Templars and others join him, he could very well be in charge of a larger faction that the Inquisitor needs, much like Zathrian and the other heads of the different departments of your army in DAO. He could give the Inquisitor information regarding rogue Templars if they're more or less still tactically relevant to his experience as a knight despite the different lyrium. If he is such a wealth if knowledge and has big responsibilities, having him at my side - while nice - wouldn't make much practical sense.

My first LI

 

mustachios is hot hot hot!  

 

I find it bit odd that even in the split second we have to see them at the war table, everyone but Cullen seems to have facial expressions or body language that gives them personality.  

 

I love Vivienne's over it face.

Methinks she's not one for group photos lol

[alwayshungry]

Is it wrong for me to say that I kinda... sorta... see... ummmm........ Cullens........ Ummm....... embargo.... in those sweet tight ass pants?  (sorry just ignore the comment im fangasming now)

R2 pointed it out earlier and I keep looking there since then... 

[JerHopp]

Looking at Cullen's outfit, I wonder if he perhaps left the templar order. I see nothing on his outfit which says templar.

 

But with his knowledge of the templars and the inquisitor dealing with the whole templar vs mage situation he becomes the leader of the Inquisitions military order?

 

Edit: Samara says kind of the same in her second paragraph, so never mind mine lol

[Ananka]

Let's just crop away some mages and other people...

Edit2: There's something I find very hot about that armor underneath his clothes...

[Galagraphia]

seriously, what the **** are Cullen and Beardy looking at?    

"Who's just farted?"

(I think Cullen is daydreaming. Again. Hehe.)

I think my adoration of Vivienne is becoming borderline unhealthy. I just love every face she makes and every time we see her.     

[Owlfruit Potion]

I agree! Plus there's been more development time for this game, which bodes well for better content all around. I'll be happy as he'll to be wrong and it turns out Cullen is a companion, but right now between what we've seen and the lack of denial from Devs, I think it's romanceable NPC.... But I'm still psyched!

Also, I think he looks hot as hell. Which is just as well because the only other two males looking fine to me are GW (yes! The BEARD) and Varric (seriously, I've never really Varric crushed before, outside of favoring him as a platonic companion, but when he's got his spotlight in the trailer I was all DAMN! Wants!) ... And both of those are so unlikely to be LIs

It's weird how much fonder I am of Varric ever since seeing that "Brian Bloom super happy and pantomiming Bianca in the booth" video. I agree with whoever said Varric looks more like him now wrt both facial structure and mannerisms.

 

I find it bit odd that even in the split second we have to see them at the war table, everyone but Cullen seems to have facial expressions or body language that gives them personality.  

Given that this is the first we've seen of him at all, I'm speculating that the reason for this is the possibility that his character model is still a bit more "rough draft" than the other ones.

Guys, I did a blood magic thing with the War Table image:

Spoiler

 

The second one looks extra fuzzy since the size was increased by 300%. But, yeah, really looking forward to seeing a high res shot of him to get a better look.

[Damate]

Here's an idea: What if, as Inquisitor, you can choose out of your companions who will be your NPC advisors? Like if you have to choose between Cullen and Iron Bull for Red Fists, Cullen is your companion, and Iron Bull stays at the home base.

That would be awesome, but I am doubtful. someone on the DA twitter asked if the last supper scene was all companions and they responded:

@dragonage: @user Only some are companions, but all will help the Inquisition.

If it was interchangeable I don't think they'd have responded that way.

There's a treacherous part of me that's all: "forget Cullen, I just want his clothes." every time I look at him here.

I cannot stop smiling, dear Maker. This is like early Christmas. 

 

It comes out the day before my birthday!! That makes me crazy happy.

So, is it just me, or was anyone else a little surprised that they went with a Fereldan accented Inquisitor in the trailer and not an Orlesian one? It kinda seems like Fereldan saves the world now. lol

 

What do you think the other player races will sound like? I'd love for the dwarves to be properly Scottish like they were written in origins. I always think of Varric as the exception (which was pretty easy to do based on DA2).

 

Can't wait to hear more Cullen, of course!

[Hellion Rex]

@Adela, regarding what you tweeted me about:

 

Rogue: Artificer, Tempest, Assassin

 

Mage: Necromancer, Rift Mage, and Knight Enchanter

 

Warrior: Champion, Reaver, Templar

His right eye looks like it's rolling up into his head 

[Creeper Cat]

seriously, what the **** are Cullen and Beardy looking at?    

They're both way at the ends of the table. I'm just going to headcanon that they're both too far to properly hear the inquisitor speaking, so they're daydreaming or something.

[littlenikki]

Oh wow  He's definitely had a makeover since DA2, but it still looks like he has the darkness under his eyes a bit and a hint of his goatee. I can't wait to play this game!

Awesome birthday gift for you! Comes out the day after my hubs birthday, so lucky him will have an unfocused excited freak of a wife to deal with on his special day - which is better than being totally ignored while your wife romances hunky pixels  kills dragons n'stuff I guess.

All of the dwarves have American accents.

 

The devs have confirmed we have the choice of a British and an American voice for each gender, with certain races having a default voice that we can change. My guess is the defaults will be elf/human = British. Dwarf/qunari = American.
