12 Days of Cullen: Day 5
 
On the Fifth Day of Cullen, my templar gave to me … 

FIVE JARS OF BEES!
 

 
"I just, you know, wanted to you to be prepared out in the field," Cullen said,

clearing his throat and fidgeting like he didn’t know what to do with his hands.

"Since I won’t be with you."

Dammit! I'm outta likes!! >.< Anyway, awkward Cullen always makes my day. I just love him!!!!! ....and you for making those. LIKE!!!

[gamerSSV]

Long time lurker here. I wish I could draw or write as good as all of you, I constantly use up all my likes here. I plan to romance Solas first because he has a hidden agenda and I just know that once I romance Cullen I'll never be able to romance anyone else (just like Fenris).

I think I would have Cullen not say the "mages are not like you and me line" especially when there are mages standing right there! I mean Anders isn't even trying to hide.

Welcome!! And stay de-lurked!!   

 

I don't think I can even think of someone else right now. I will definitely romance Cullen on my first PT.....aand not just on my first one. I am curious about all characters, but once I get to insanely like a character (like Cullen      ), it takes a very long while until I manage to try and romance others.

Just so you know, R2, I sing your twelve days out loud every day. I'm such a loser lol.

Morning!

 

I just wanted to take a second to address the Cullen thread with something important for a moment. I’ve been a member of this community for many years now- since Origins, although that was under another name. I’ve specifically been a part of this thread for a long time now as well.

 

I know some of you will be going dark this week, so I wanted to say a few things before the bulk of this group left.

First of all, it’s been a real joy to have been a part of this community. It’s been very good to me even when I didn’t deserve it much. I can’t believe we went from daydreaming about an Amell/Cullen romance to actually, seriously, literally having Cullen as a romance in the game.

I hope you guys find it everything you ever hoped for. I'm really excited to see everyone's opinion.

 

Thanks to all of you for being a great family, for being welcoming, for being sweet and supportive and lovely all the time. It’s been the most fun I’ve ever had on a forum.

 

I also wanted to apologize. It’s kind of hard for me because I’m a bit like a pride demon, but not being here and taking some time away has really put things into some amount of perspective for me.  I have a reputation of being a bit (lol...a bit?) plainspoken, sarcastic…and I ran with it.  It gave me some kind of illusion of power or popularity, I don’t know. It fed my ego. I enjoyed making waves.  But then it got way too big and instead of making waves I made a big giant ass tidal wave that I no longer had control of.

 

I hurt a lot of people in the process, and mostly I’ll never be able to fix it. I’ll keep trying, but I know I never will.

I’m sorry I was such a total ******. I’m sorry for being self-centered.  I’m sorry for using my friends for some sort of twisted game that played in my own head. I regret how I treated many people in this thread. 

 

I’m just really sorry. I’m not really a bad person, at least. I don’t really think I am. But I went too far and for that, I am very sincerely sorry. 

[gamerSSV]

Hey y'all, Chachi interviewed me. Watch our antics haha! 

 

Watched this a little, then stopped......I was afraid I might get some spoilers.

[Iceyone]

He was very one dimensional in DAO. In DA2 he appeared to be one dimensional up until the last moment. In DAI he is multi-faceted. Hence I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.

 

Who knows...I might even make him my canon female Inquisitor's love interest ? 

 

I guess I really am going crazy...

 

I have a sofa right over there <-------- c'mon folks shift over your butts, make some space...Ishten has possibly taken a bang to the head or has a fever, we may need a medic

Brilliant!!

Although a great AoE weapon, in the right hands ofc! I'm not so sure that Jar of Bees is going to be a good plan for my Inquisitor, if she has half the luck I have, she'll drop the jar at her feet, it will smash, she'll get stung all over, the enemies will be pointing and laughing as she flaps about wildly trying to get away from them and to top it off she'll receive the biggest eyeroll on record from Cullen upon returning to Skyhold....damned bees    Could've been worse I suppose, it might have been wasps

[Cerulione]

Can't believe that in another week/10 days/11 days we will be able to actually meet him in-game...

 

I have soooo many playthroughs planned and can't even decide which one to go first 

 

Do any of you really think that we can get a sort of Happy Ending on this Cullen Romance story? Or just ride the tragedy? Some folks discussing Cassandra's Romance are quite sure that romancing her will end mostly in Tragedy.

[gamerSSV]

Maybe Flemeth is more like Anders?  At least so far as carrying a spirit of some kind in her is concerned...

 

I don't think the DR used magic as such - except perhaps to ensure that Morrigan conceived.  And even then, I don't think that would be blood magic?

You bring an interesting point. She could be like Anders... or something similar.... As for Morrigan, we really don't know much about the DR. And there are still many things we don't know about Flemeth either. I'm just ok with waiting to see what DAI brings.

I hear Blackwall might have a tragic end as well.....

 

About Cullen, I'm not sure. Unless he sacrifices himself so he can protect his love (the Inquisitior ), then I don't see how he would die. But I certainly hope we won't get a tragic end with Cullen, because what happened with Thane was enough for me. And I don't want that again.

I'm not even contemplating tragedy lol If things look grim, I'll leave the world in limbo before it goes south and just start another PT

In all seriousness, I don't imagine it being complete doom and gloom for anyone unless it's played deliberately that way. The game continues after the end if you want it to, so I think there would need to still be some motivation to do that. If LI dies or close friends perish etc (unless deliberate by the pc) then it takes away a lot of the want to continue that PT for me anyway. We'll see soon

It really hasn't hit home yet that we're so close. Uni is a surprsingly good distraction I've found!

As for tragic endings I'm not sure any romance, (other than Blackwall's of course), will really have that aspect to them. Maybe Iron Bull's if the Inquisitor tries/fails to get him to abandon the Qun. But then, I'd consider that more of a failure to romance than tragic.

  I`m a believer!   

 

since they probably have a tragic conclusion for Blackwall - that will already be sufficient, and Cullen will have happy ending.

[gamerSSV]

Oh God I can't breathe! THIS IS AMAZING!

 

She's a huge package of awesomess!!!!        .........I hope that didn't sound weird

 IB hadn't abandon the Qun? That's interesting, I thought that being mercenary make him Tal Vashoth already.

 

Blackwall's might end in tragedy though... I just hope we can get an option Cullen and Inquisitor to stay together after the end of the game...

LOL I know. I don't know how effective they'll be in practice. I almost added in Cullen saying something like, "And if all else fails, run!" LOL

Spoilers that everyone knows, and that I've kind of spoiled for you already and don't really count as spoilers and I'm running out of justifications for the spoiler tags:

Spoiler

Bull's Ben-Hassrath. He's essentially a spy, posing as a Tal-Vashoth mercenary leader and reporting back to Par Vollen. He's very upfront to the Inquisitor about this when he's recruited however, so this won't be a big plot twist or anything.

Well ive not been here long enough to be affected by any of yours comments (i tend to flutter between gaming forums), but i just wanted to say that everyone makes mistakes. I feel constant regret for being an arrogant drama queen when i was younger, hell i was a total B***h. But admitting you messed up, owning up to it, its the first step in getting it sorted out. So i just wanted to say well done for admitting it and apologising for it.

I think it's possible for potential tragedies, but may depend more on choices along the way (approval level - friends may be just as willing to sacrifice themselves as LIs). But I wonder why everyone seems to be assuming that Blackwall's romance must be a tragic one? First, it's far too predictable to make a grey warden an automatic tragic romance; we don't even know how far from his calling he is, though it's almost certainly less than 20 years because he was a warden during the blight. Personally, if he and the Inquisitor both survive and he has at least a few years left before the Calling, I don't consider it a tragic romance - every single companion and adviser lives a dangerous life so in his case, you just know in advance you need to appreciate every single moment. How many of them do you really foresee dying quietly of old age?

They consider him a tragic romance because he has been a Warden for quite a while. He was a Warden Recruit since the days of Loghain's DAO mess-ups. There is a letter with his name on it in World of Thedas.

 

However, you never know what is up with Wardens this time around. He might become another Fiona if you have the Architect alive or become possessed by Corypheus or face the Calling.

 

His romance is not really tragic because he will die on his own terms, unlike, say, Thane, who even though was suffering from terminal illness, died from Kai Lame.

We don't know how long he'd been a warden at that point. If he came in with considerable experience, he may have been almost immediately promoted to a position of command (Warden-Constable, I think?), especially if that Warden post had had trouble and they needed a relatively neutral outsider. And Wardens can survive for up to 30 years. He could potentially have 17 or 18 years before his Calling at the beginning of DAI. Maybe it's my age, but that's not a tragic romance ending to me. Yes, there's a little sadness knowing he won't grow old, but he's a warrior, he's either going to retire (and my impression is that he'd hate that) or eventually slow down enough something will get him anyway. Like I said, our followers live dangerously (even Josephine - diplomacy is a very dangerous game), and I don't see that changing for most of them, so I find it puzzling that people define all warden romances as automatically tragic.

 

I haven't played ME and never got all the NPCs quite straight while watching my daughters, but I suppose it's comparable to a terminal illness, but an extremely slow one that doesn't debilitate you.

I should add, Cullen's lyrium addiction worries me more than Blackwall's taint, especially now that red lyrium is cropping up all over.

Yeah, red lyrium is gonna be a problem. I don't want Templars anywhere near the stuff, cause they get supercharged as well as go nuts. And the red lyrium seems to be infesting Thedas like a virus.
