No it's his facial features mostly his jaw

Yeah, and Cortez was gay. I think it was highly insulting for the ME team to make the two NPCs the "gay ones." It was like throwing a bone to a begging dog instead of treating one group of players like all the others.
The DA team is way more progressive and savvy, they just are. I can see them making the NPCs the straight ones (a.k.a. the "lesser" option) and the four companions bi and gay/lesbian. Just to say, hey, for once straight people have to be the dog begging for the bone.
And a part of me is like, yeah, right on! And the other part is like, CULLEN!!!!!!!!
No kidding; believe me, I've been reining it in quite a bit lol But to be honest, I'm not mad, just depressed. I mean... erm, I was depressed. But now I've instigated Operation: Hope Springs Eternal, so it's all good!
It's okay, I was depressed weeks ago for a day because the PAX Info was pretty much as close as you could get to a NPC confirmation without being official. ![]()
It's not that I think of a NPC as a lesser character (obviously not, since I've been posting here for years), just the sudden feeling of NPC = drastically less oomph than follower, iykwim?
I think it would make it more interesting lol. It would make sense considering what he has been through...so in a way it would make good story telling
Well, I always say, different strokes for different folks!

But it would be sad lol I usually always play mage. Hopefully there'd be like a rivalmance option. Angry love lol

Yeah, even if he's bi, I'm still deeply disappointed he's an NPC (for now). Even though I love the idea of him being his own man and not having to follow the PC around, I feel deep in my gut that the NPC romances will be "lesser" than the companion ones.

Man I can't stand rivalmances though. I'm too much of a fluffy romance lover!
Hope. And the way Mike Laidlaw at the "Discover the Dragon Age" panel said that Cullen was going to be a romance option, along with Cassandra. If you can find a video of that panel, maybe you can see what I'm talking about. And also, they have not come out and said that he was not a companion.
I may be on a sinking ship, but I can't give up hope until the devs say it one way or another. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
You mean this??

I don't think a mage romance with Cullen would necessarily have to have a rivalmance tone. Cullen would likely be wary initially, but I think if he came to trust the person, the romance could be more of a sweet one.
Well, I'm straight and I don't like begging. Or bones.
I know; I'm just saying, if they're gonna stick it to someone, I prefer it be the "privileged" class of players, not the folks who habitually get short-changed in gaming.
No bloodmage :3

You can be a Necromancer! It's... kinda close?
The actual video of the panel, where he says that Cullen is a romance. "You're gonna have some Cullen in your life. We figured, three games, let's give this guy a shot. You go ahead, buddy!" something to that effect, I'm paraphrasing, trying to remember as best I can what it was that he said.

Have they shown the talent trees? I'm so lost. I can't even get onto the DA site, it still won't load!
Clear your cache. That's what fixed it for me!

I don't think so either. Just saying if he denied my mage...it would be heart break like with Alistair all over again. So I'd rivalmance even if the option wasn't there lol
Hmm I just realized, "Tempest." Could that be the archery specialization?
This one?
Spoiler
That's the one!
