I did love how that guy at the Halamshiral ball was obsessed with Cullen's hair...

 

I was like "Oh god, the Cullen thread has infected the game!"

[Avorous]

I wonder if any of the devs realised that his hair isn't actually that curly despite Varric's nickname, making me wonder if "Curly" is actually a sly reference to how exposed he found himself after he epically lost that game of Wicked Grace...?

 

 

I don't know, his hair looks like it's got a little bit of a curl on my screen? Like, it's barely there, but it's noticeable enough that it hints that if it were longer than it was in the game, it'd be curly, at least in comparison to other people's hair (eg: Dorian). 

 

Might just be me though.

Omg I just did the wicked grace cutscene and I don't think I'm ever going to be over naked Cullen running sheepishly away at the end, bahahahahaha!!!

[Jilljitsu]

Did anyone figure out how to get Cullen to play chess with Leilianna yet?  I have a new playthrough where I sided with the mages, and only tried to use Dorian in that mission...and it didn't work.

 

I wonder if you have to side with the templars, and tell Dorian that you don't need him?

It's the fact that it's only the Bull who doesn't bother to get up and turn around, which really started me laughing like a madman...

Thank you for voicing my thoughts. It's either that or Varric is nostalgic about his DA2 hair.

I think it's a call back to his DA2 ramen hair. And the fandom's obsession with it.

You have to either refuse to recruit him or side with templars and trigger the chess scene before you talk to Dorian to recruit him.

I think his Orlesian fans were definitely a gentle nudge at the Cullenites (though I'd really like to find a way to get him out of that, sheesh, a couple of them are over the top). And I agree with R2, it's a callback to the ramen hair

I hadn't even noticed that, was too distracted by...something else Haha that's awesome though, I need to watch it again (oh what a hardship)!

Iron Bull looking up and watching Cullen run off pretty much killed me.

I've played through both as well and I think I preferred the pro-mage arc. As you said, Cullen is a lot more angsty, but for me it was

Spoiler

getting to see just why he was so obsessed with stopping Samson. In that final conversation (the knife throwing scene), it dawned on me that the whole time he was freaking out was because that could have been him, and that scared the crap out of him. He even said that if his life had gone differently he could have been one of them...then asks if you had ever considered how things could be different. And of course, a romanced quizzy gets to say something along the lines of "And imagine a life without you? Never." That is one of my favorite scenes.

 

So I agree with you...a pro-templar Cullen seems to be much more business-together...and a pro-mage Cullen seems to be laid more bare, which gives a deeper story, in my opinion. This is because if you go pro-templar, the Venatori become the "bad guys to focus on." If you go pro-mage, the red templars are allowed to grow and become the focus. 

 

Yeah I agree, while it was sad to see Cullen be so much more desperate during the

Spoiler

Mage arc at the same time I felt like it was an important wake up call not just for him, but for the rest of the world by extension as well. The world of Thedas is used to the stereotype of the easily corrupted mage and has oppressed magi for centuries because of it. Cullen was shocked that Templars were getting possessed in DAII due to evil mages. Now, the world witnesses that the Templars themselves are just as prone to corruption. I think it's a monumental step towards recognizing the need for something more than just the subjugation of people with powers, because now it is clear that all people are corruptible. It's akin to what Mother Giselle says to the injured recruit who was frightened at the prospect of being healed with magic, and it's something I find so much more poignant than just having the mages cause trouble. The world knows what mages from Tevinter have done in the past, there's no surprise there. What Thedas needs is to see that every person is a potential victim and that the fighting needs to be redirected towards the more important cause.

 

Change is coming to the world, and that starts with the individual. Cullen was tortured by evil spirits in Origins - spirits inhabiting mages who, it turns out, were just as much victims of the demons' influence as he was - and is afraid that he was changed because of it. I think it was a fitting conclusion to Cullen's story arc to have him deal with that fear and speak openly about it to you, because that's the first step towards letting his past demons go. I feel like our role as his LI seems more meaningful in that regard.

 

I wonder if any of the devs had any idea what they were creating in DAO when someone decided it would be funny to have a shy, smitten Templar who ran off if you flirted too heavily with him?

 

LOL yeah that's something I've always wondered, cause it seems like Bioware was (pleasantly?) surprised at the reaction to Cullen. Making him be all adorable that way was just asking for it, come on.

 

It's the fact that it's only the Bull who doesn't bother to get up and turn around, which really started me laughing like a madman...

 

Especially funny since Cullen gives you that helpless, pleading look, begging you to get up and turn around, but doesn't seem to mind Bull's presence. That, combined with his good-humor when walking in to see Bull's exposed dingaling, makes me feel like they've both had man-to-man discussions about ...things... during their sparring sessions. He doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of you since you're his leader/romantic interest, poor babe - but he's developed enough of a sense of camaraderie with Bull that he thinks Bull won't judge him too hard about it. Basically, they're chummy with each other, and that makes me happy.

 

...Or maybe he just thought Bull was asleep, but I'll just pretend that the first scenario happened. LOL.

Wooow... so my entire clan was slaughtered. And no one mentions it. And I have no dialogue options to talk about it. Nice.

Ugh. That depends on how you do the missions, by the way - it's not inevitable. But they did drop the ball with the no reaction thing.

Yeah, I figured. Unfortunately, I have four saves, with three being outside Skyhold and one just for Skyhold. So when I'm in Skyhold I save over the same save again and again. So I couldn't backtrack to a time before that decision.

 

But it's clearly just words on a paper with no game reactivity. I'll simply pretend it didn't happen. *shrugs*

 

I think I'm gonna go on with What Pride Has Wrought and attempt to finish the game. I'm thoroughly bored and disenchanted and just want to see what happens at this point before I get spoiled

So I just eavesdropped on a continuation of the noble's discussion in the main hall:

I thought the "climax" conversation was the last one, but I just heard them talking about what they'll be wearing, and not wanting to detract from the "happy couple." LOLZ

That's been one of the complaints about the Dalish content, kind of a major oversight in reactivity (including the inquisitor's own). Killing nugs apparently is more traumatic to people

[FFZero]

Are we 100% sure there is no reaction though? Like has a dev confirmed that there is no content related to that? Seeing as a fair amount of content to do with companions and dialogue is bugged and not firing correctly there could be some reaction scene but we’re just not getting it.

[CuriousArtemis]

Ohh... so if you guys don't know yet, the "t!ts bouncing" line is Bull's, but it's not creepy (shockingly lol). It is a romance line! A jealousy line... I had the option to ask him who else he'd been with, and he said he'd hook up with the serving girls because they were so often overlooked and worked so hard, and he would just show them a good time, tell them their t!ts looked good when they bounced on top of him lol (or something like that) but then he stutters and says, that was before us, it's just you and me now!

 

Quite cute

I feel like I remember one person talking about it to my Inquisitor. Pretty sure it was Josie.

I went to her but there were no new dialogue options.
