It's funny, regardless of the photo recognition software I put Cullens pics (DAO, DA2 and DAI) through that said same man, the new Cullen just seemed really different. Then I saw the black and white gif and it dawned on me....the stubble is throwing my brain off.
Thank you Ladylavellan on Tumblr for posting this.
Out of context, I'd be completely turned off by the way that second line is written (and I normally like dirty talk). I'm not sure I see it as sadistic, but there is something about it that just feels wrong. I'm really hoping it's something someone's reading or something Cole overhears (maybe at the brothel) and repeats. If not, I may be skipping one of the romances after all, unless the context completely changes how that comes across. The first one is weird out of context, but might be part of a letter (with great respect almost sounds like a letter closing). Remember in DAO, one of the side quests was looking for incriminating letters from around Fereldan. Maybe someone actually reads them aloud?
First this isn't a spoiler as IT IS NOT is Asunder. Cullen is not mentioned in that book. However a woman with a similar name is mentioned, Calienne, the dead wife of Gaspard.
There has been speculation that Cullen may be related to the Orlesian nobility, Valmont or De Chalons because of his lion armour, or indeed be yet another love child of Maric Theirin by the Orlesian elven bard Katriel (mentioned as having golden curly hair and green eyes). Nothing has been confirmed.
We'll just have to wait and see...not long now!
If that's the case then I'm going to start assuming every blonde human male is Maric's bastard son. Sorry, Anders.
In response to people saying they're not good at writing smut... Im reading a blog series called "How to be a sex writing strumpet" and it is verrry good. Sat there blushing for like whole parts of the article (while taking notes lol). Its pretty good, if kind of crude
LOL Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Incoming! 
Has this been brought up in this thread, yet?
What happened to Cullen's under eye circles? He had them quite prominently in both DAO and DA2. Is he off the lyrium and that made them go away? Is he getting better sleep, now? Is he using ROC under eye cream?
Anybody else noticed that?
Oookay... new story. Not quite up to DA:I's ESRB rating, but hopefully still fun.

For me, it's the hair. I can easily see his original face model in there if I cover the hair, but still have trouble reconciling straight hair with Ser Noodles, so the whole of his new model still throw me off sometimes.
I'll eventually get used to it, but I'll always headcanon he spends fifty million years pomading his hair into submission every morning, only to have the wild noodles pop back as soon as he breaks a sweat, either from the helmet or from... certain leisurely activities with the Inquisitor. 
OH MY GOD! I had to bury my face in a pillow so I didn't wake my whole house up with my cackling laugh! All I can think is:
"Tell me, where is your maker now! Call him, call down his wrath upon me! The way your t*ts bounce when I pin your arms and take you on the side of the bed......"
I am so sorry!
Hahaha, omg... 
I know it was few pages back but I've just seen it and it made ma day... well evening.
I'm sorry but this: “The way your t*ts bounce when I pin your arms and take you on the side of the bed…”
I just........I don't know whether to giggle awkwardly or.....I just don't know.
Do you think they are trying to out-smut some of the smut written by fans?
BioWare: "You call that smut? We'll show you smut!"
I think this is probably Isabela's cameo xD

He's probably just less stressed these days, without the constant pressure and emotional toll of running a Circle, hunting maleficar, watching for signs of corruptions, slaying demons, losing his men to Kirkwall's routine blood magic mess, constant vigilance, etc. He still has plenty of reason to be stressed out, with the Red Templars to deal with on one side and the Inquisition to run on the other, but just getting out of Kirkwall and the Circle system in general probably did wonders to both his physical and mental health.

Well, he don't look very much like in DAO and DA2 in general.
But I guess Inquisition is taking good care of him. xd Or maybe it's frosty air in Skyhold. 
I'd happily swap Blackwall for Dorian!
Omg, me too... But I think I'm going to make a male Inquisitor especially for Dorian.
What is happening to forums? I think it's not working like it used to... I have to refreshing way to often... 
Why would that line make him a misogynist? It's just dirty talk.
True, but that statement isn't just vulgar; it's bordering on sadistic and just seems power hungry and "I'm going to humiliate you through sex." Would be okay for consensual S&M of course but I doubt that's part of any LI's story.
I'm not really seeing the sadism in that line.
I don't see it either, it really does look like dirty talk
*shrugs* Just my opinion and comes down to how I expect respect from a lover and not to be treated like something that's just there for him to stick his dong in... unless of course I agreed and consented to such "play" beforehand.
Anyway, it's bloody impossible to have a conversation right now b/c the forum is being ridiculous!!!!
Quick jump in:
It's always important to speak with your partner to find out what y'all like when it comes to intimate matters. In Artie's case, she may not like that kind of play. In my and other's case, it doesn't bother us. What we don't see as uncomfortable, someone else might. It's not just with BDSM, but with any kind of intimacy. 
And that's why I hate 50 Shades BECAUSE THE DOM DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THE SUB. 8[
ANYWAY. That's my two cents. You can tack this under "Things I Didn't Know Ginger Was Knowledgeable About." XD

Yep! At least they're not as prominent in some scenes. He is either getting enough sleep now, or they left it out of his design. I'm leaning towards the former.
I did a thing..
I think someone gave me this screenshot some time ago.. sorry for misusing it!
Tears are streaming down my face rn!!!!!! xD xD xD

I totally understand not feeling comfortable with dirty talk, it's totally a preference thing but you don't hear me going around saying that people who don't like dirty talk are boring, uninteresting, vanilla, white-bread lovers, either. I don't happen to think that, I understand it's a preference; I just think that one can express personal dislike for a certain thing without insulting those who do like it.
Now the forum bug is starting to affect my notifications D:

that was really good. I dont usually like or read fanfic but i might have to dig into yours
Just like to point out DG's twitter post if this hasn't been mentioned already...
DG: "Okay, the #DAI ESRB write up made me cackle. #contextftw"
and Karin Weekes reply
KW: "GLORIOUS, isn't it? :D"
Their reactions prove to me that the only reason these quotes seem pretty terrible is because they're completely out of context. I'm sure once we play we'll laugh about how silly they really are.

Hahaha, that's what I figured
I'm really interested in the eyelash detail in that Blackwall pic, I can't wait to play with that slider in the CC

*snip of awesome*
You're the best. The absolute best. And now I really, really want fondue.
