You guys want a real kicker....Cullen...Trevelyan...an ode to GOT if Cullen and IQ are in an romance, lol!

 

LOL OMG NO just NO

 

I would've been willing to accept it :lol: But maybe incest between two people of the same sex isn't as icky in my mind because there's no possibility of procreation. 

 

Then there was that time I shipped these two characters in an anime SO HARD ... only to later find out they were uncle and nephew. It was too late by then. I was all the way in. I just closed my eyes and continued shipping!!  :rolleyes:

In my opinion, I don't think there will be too much significance in Cullen's surname in regards to the previous games but there could be in some significance in Inquisition and I think the reason as to why they haven't given it to us yet is because they don't want to spoil everything for us. Got to leave some things for when we are playing the game.

Right. 

 

Like suppose we are presented with a quest... the "Smith" family is attempting to seize power in Orlais and managed to assassinate a revered mother blah blah blah so we have to go in and regulate.

 

After the quest, Cullen reveals his name is Smith and he is related to the awful family, but he assures us he's denounced them a long time ago, etc.

 

But like if we'd known he was a Smith beforehand it would've ruined that moment.

Cullen is a darkhorse. We loved him in Origins despite a small role, and they expanded that in DA2 because we loved him, and in DAI because we loved him again.

 

The odds of them having a nuanced background all ready for the character during the first game are slim. 

 

The Bella thing is a good point, but I think the reason that there were so many options for her was because there were so many different approaches for that quest, and they came with chances to showcase the Warden's personal style. I loved seeing the slide saying she had renamed the Inn, "Warden's rest" if she took ownership. 

 

It might be fun to find out he's from Redcliff, however. It sometimes seems like everyone's from Highever.

I really don't think that warden is Alistair, he's way too young and I personally don't think he looks much like Alistair... he's similar in the fact he has blonde hair & is a warden. To me none of the facial features are similar & since Alistair loved his hair so much, I doubt they would change it. Personally I also don't find that warden attractive so if it is him, I'll be disappointed <3 Alistair :D

Exactly :) I think he's going to come from a relatively normal family (I think probably lesser noble) and I'm starting to believe his romance will not be angsty.

I like to think that I want to know all tings Cullen but really I don't. I don't want to be playing the game and feel no excitement in learning new info about him because I was plied with it before the games release.

 

Lol, Asperath, you said it first! I also don't think that the warden in the trailer is very attractive and if it were to be Alistair I'd be kind of disappointed if that was what he looked like.

I wasn't trying to sound mean or anything but *for me* Alistair is HOT (well exclude DA2, poor poor DA2 Alistair :crying:) and that warden is... not.

Also if it is him, he's obviously had plastic surgery to keep his youth looks except it no long looks like him...

if that's the case why did he not mention Thomas Howe???

 

I don't think he would be a Howe...I always pictured him as more a farmers child. Never pictured him being from a noble family....only 2 weeks till we find out for sure!!!

 

I believe Cullen is a noble cause common folks not that often have surnames and he played chess with his family member, doesn't sound like activity to farmers to me :huh: I guess we have to wait and see.

 

In other hand we can take out possibility of him being Theirin, he wouldn't know his brother and sister if he was another bastard child of Maric. My first guess was that he was orphan raised in chantry but that's out now too.. I will stay thinking he's youngest son of noble family ^^

I agree but I really do think it will be a lesser noble family, one we haven't heard about before (hoping)

 

Btw LIKE... I have none left :(

I'm glad they didn't go with the orphan route. I really don't like the idea of the poor orphan who wants to be a knight and against all odds rises through a bunch of hardships to become one of the powerful leaders of the inquisition.

I'm also VERY glad he's not a Theirin. One royal bastard is enough for any game series.

Lesser noble from some house we haven't heard about is a good background for him, I think.

I'd like to see him from a commoner family in the city. Can't you just see him as a child going to the chantry to listen to the chant of light after picking weeds in his mother's herb shop :lol:

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd drop by since it's been a long time and say hi. Got super busy with school over the last couple of months. Just a bit over 2 weeks until I have to choose between romancing Cullen and passing the term! I'm just a little bit worried tbh.

 

Anyway, have fun and I hope everyone enjoys their time with the game. :)

 

I'm pretty sure Cullen would advise you to pass the term!  ;)

My feeling is that Cullen is probably minor nobility from the Bannorn, like Ser Gilmore.

 

My other feeling is that I really really really really wish Nathaniel would make an appearance, and not just as a cameo.

 

I think it's more likely that Bioware will acknowledge my first feeling.  ;)

I doubt that's Alistair since he remains a Warden in only a few playthroughs, plus he's even dead in some playthroughs.
 
Tbh I really hope it isn't Alistair. I'll be pissed if ALL the DAO LI are in DAI EXCEPT Zevran. Grrr. And yes I know Alistair will be in it b/c his VA did a video, but I'm hoping it's just a cameo as king, if you made him king.

 
I don't think his role is too big, but he might appear as a Warden as well.
He'll most surely appear as a king though, since Anora is in as well.
I do hope that if married both will appear as king and queen :P

I would've been willing to accept it :lol: But maybe incest between two people of the same sex isn't as icky in my mind because there's no possibility of procreation.

Ahhh, Ser Gilmore!  He was another favorite minor character of mine!  That fiery red hair!  Zow!

Reasons why I don't think it is Alistair in the trailer.

 

1) They would have been using their default world to avoid fan confusion. In that world Alistair is the King of Ferelden. He wears heavy plate not warden armour.

2) Alistair is canonically a sword and board warrior, the warden in the trailer is using two swords/daggers, which makes them a rogue.

 

Reasons I am pretty certain Ser Cullen is a noble:

 

1) Well spoken

2) Chess

3) Perks he teaches the Inquisition. These include Orlesian chevalier methods, Calvary training etc. 

 

:(  Gutted that the Cullen tile is going to be removed...just because some people have never played the game enough to notice Cullens change in dialogue in Act 3.

 

I think that's me caught up  :P  to the thread...

Yup!  Wasn't a huge fan of his dialogue in the mod (it was rather morbid at times).  But it did inspire me to write a fan fic centered around him and female Cousland (still working on it...it is long and angsty as hell!).  So I have a really soft spot for him because I developed his character so much in that.

Honestly, that is word to word what happen in the Steven King Novel The Mist.

 

Actually, Stephen King's originally novella of "The Mist" ended in more of an upbeat manner. There, the survivors escape from the cult of religious lunatics that have taken over the store and get in a car, setting out for Hartford after they hear a message on the radio that claims it's safe from the Lovecraftian creatures.

 

The movie version is way bleaker because there;

 

Spoiler

 

After seeing the movie, King actually said that he wished he'd written that ending instead.

Did you guys see this post in the Keep forum? http://forum.bioware...lia/?p=17639568
 
S/he says: 

Mike Laidlaw answered my question in the Q&A about the "Cullen Friendship" option in the Keep. He said that it should have been taken out already, that it didn't make sense and wasn't tracked in DA:I.

 
I'm kind of glad. I didn't really understand what that tile represented, and I really couldn't tell which of my Hawke's would've been considered a friend by Cullen (testament to how complex a character he is!)


Oh, good! It really didn't make sense to include a choice that wasn't actually a choice in game. On the other hand, I'm actually ok with it being headcanon for use inside DA:I. But... it sounds like it doesn't affect anything anyway if it can be removed. So, again with my suspicion that many of those choices mean nothing in the Keep. Hmm.

Meh I liked the Cullen tile. My Hawkes were friends of Cullen and it was nice to get mention of that. Though I understand that the tile can be hard to interpret since there is no clear indicator if Cullen and Hawke were friends or not.
