I'm glad we can agree that the other's opinion is valid. :)


I don't think it's an opinion when it comes to Cullen having actually said he'd forsaken romantic feelings since he last saw the Warden:
"There was some...youthful infatuation on my part. A feeling I had forsaken until recently." (word for word) Forsaken meaning "abandoned", or "deserted", indicating he has not had such feelings until meeting the Inquisitor.
 
But yes, I agree that you are free to imagine what may have happened during Kirkwall and that he had a romantic relationship if you want. I also agree that it's possible to headcanon that he isn't a virgin by the beginning of Inquisition, but judging by his dialogue I'd say that if he had any encounters it would have not been under romantic circumstances, according to him. My personal interpretation would be that he didn't enter any purely physical relationship, but that's what my opinion would be. :)
 

In my head canon I can see him (between Ferelden and Kirkwall) being the angry young man whose lost himself. A kind of self-destruct that is somewhat mitigated by being at Kirkwall and with Meredith. I think for some time nothing about himself meant anything to him. I think that for him, he doesn't truly find the original Cullen until there is someone that feels something warm for him alone. Virgin or not - don't care. You love the man, not his sex activity status (for want of a better way of putting it). Same was with Alistair in Origins.

Cullen :wub:
Alistair :wub: :wub:

I totally agree! It really doesn't matter whether he's a virgin or not, he's such a sweetheart either way. I think that if he did have a romantic encounter it would probably be in the window of time between when he joined the Templars and when he was assigned to Kinloch. So yeah, unless that happened I don't think he really fell in love since he left Ferelden. And my opinion is that he doesn't seem the type to just enter a physical relationship without some sort of romantic emotion involved. But to each their own~

So this is on my mind for a while: I'm trying to imagine the specific symptoms of lyrium withdrawal. I think each addictive substances has their own withdrawal symptoms or am I wrong? I'm curious on that subject. The game states it's not exactly pleasant and that it's agonizing. 

 

Headaches, weakness in the muscles, maybe... perhaps insomnia? Frequent nightmares? 

 

Have this forum talked about the specific symptoms?

When you enter a relationship, don't you have to choose the glowing wheel option that tells you you're about to make a big decision? Or will the game actually track you as being in a relationship depending on how many times you've flirted? I feel like saying you're good as long as you haven't chosen the highlighted option to enter a relationship on the dialogue wheel, but I can't commit to that because I'm not entirely sure myself. Hopefully someone can confirm~

I had a query and thought the Cullnites could answer it.  Someone said something about Cullen being like Alistair but more mature because he isn't a 20-year-old virgin.  So I was wondering, do you guys headcanon he is a virgin or isn't?  And if he isn't, when do you imagine he would've gotten that in (pun not intended)?  I need to know for scientific purposes.

That was my post, in Blackwall v. Cullen thread. I guess I just picked wrong words (English is not my mother tongue).

What I meant was that his mentality and views are not Alistair-like, though he may seem like it (bashful and shy).

 

Alistair's romance was immature on the basis of his innocent attitude towards life as a whole - Cullen has seen the worst the world can offer. But that's a different kind of maturity we're talking about there.

And this is what I had in mind.

I never stated that my point of view was right, but in my headcanon he's not a 30 year-old virgin. And I totally agree with F***YeahCullen on tumblr in this case.

Even if he does tell you he's heard you're with someone else, you can just break up with that person and go back to Cullen.

*raises hand* I definitely do that. :)
I also have the tendency to make a beeline for him once I come back from a difficult mission or something similar.
 
 
... and now I am missing my boyfriend. :( Long-distance, yo. He's completely worth it though :wub:

  

Haha I'm so glad I'm not alone in this :)

I may have joined up on the forums just for the purpose of jumping into this thread :') *de-lurks*.
 
I wanted to ask if anyone has got a video or list of the things he randomly says whenever you bring him out for a kiss actually because I got this really adorable and sexy chuckle out of him once when my Inquisitor said "I need to borrow you" (It was amazing in the British voice too omg I can't remember if she stressed the "need" or "borrow" part). I'm a bit sad because I never screenshotted his response to that... I... my mind literally blanked after hearing the chuckle. It wasn't one of his usual embarrassed chuckles but like full-out low and husky chuckle and... I would really love to hear that but he's never repeated the line ever again to me.
 
Also, another one of my favorite lines from Cullen was "Give me a moment. Then I'm yours."  :wub:  *swoons*.


Oh I know EXACTLY what chuckle your talking about and I feel the exact same way when I hear it! Which, fortunately for me has been more than once.

Considering how early on you get his personal quest did anyone else feel an urge to rush to the emerald greaves before they were supposed too?

Oh I didn't know that. Good to know o.O Blackwall also seems to ninjamance people before they commit, but he's easier to break up with.

I think Youtube will have to be my source for the other LI's... Yet again! I really should know better than to go for my favourite the first time around by now >< but I just can't leave that lonely, struggling ex-Templar on his own! It's Alistair and Garrus and Fenris all over again :blush:


lol I know exactly how that feels. Because DAI is more open to who you can flirt with I just flirted with everyone not knowing who I was going for. Then I decided I liked Cullen but I still kept flirting with everyone.

I lost 10 hours of gameplay because I had to reload a much earlier save in order to 'rescue' my Cullen romance from my aimless flirting. Which resulted in a big, grizzly looking man with black hair in my bedroom... Awkward...

This. Me. Not at the Emerald Graves but when I entered Emprise du Lion - I nearly died for Cullen because little level 10 me ran straight into hordes of level 15 Red Templars. I even tried sticking around and duking it out from high ledges, but their archers got me good. Also, my tank was cut down like a knife through warm butter. It was terrible. I had to gaze sadly at Cullen from a distance and suck it up with a few other quests before I got back to him. :*

So can some of you guys tell me what bugs you have experienced in DA:I? The worst ones are preferred.

 

Mine would have be that earsplitting screech that happens randomly...I have no idea what causes it. Then at the end of DA:I I went to talk to Varric and he would not respond...as in he would just turn his head and then...nothing. The most annoying bug for me though is when the game fully freezes and forces one to shut down their system. That happened to me at least six times and every time it would do it whenever it was autosaving so it glitched up my files and set me back two hours.

Honestly? I haven't had a single one. Dunno iff i've just been lucky or what but all quests trigger, all party banter triggers, no loss of audio etc. This is over 2 playthroughs so far for me and one each for my boys. The eldest had a crash once but I suspect that was down to the fact that my graphics card decided to be oh so considerate and fry itself halfway through our first playthroughs. Fortunately it was less than a year old and Chillblast very nicely replaced it with a 980 for me. 

 

Outside of that, the only issue I had wasn't a bug but was annoying me somewhat. The cap on 30fps in cutscenes, but since I unlocked it and they now play at 60fps you can count me as a very, very happy camper.

I'm currently romancing Dorian and I haven't gotten the explicit "commitment" choice like I did with Bull, though he has come to my bedroom, and the Orlesian nobles in Skyhold are gossiping about us.

I don't think working public mods are out that actually import meshes into the game but Adela has been doing some gorgeous hair modelling based on meshes ripped from the game, I think? And I believe others have already figured out how to import textures into the game. Crossing my fingers for some mesh importing soon too :wub:

Sorry for double post. Couldn't find the edit button on the mobile site.

@ sephirona. To answer your earlier question. From what I've seen all romances have that setup where you know you're about to commit. A big improvement to the other games imo. But with some romances the npc will still fall for you before you even get the option to commit. Which is good in a sense, but ultimately means if you flirt with everyone you'll probably break someone's heart while doing it... Except Dorian... If you're female.

Also, the worst bug I've experienced so far is when the whole world freaked out during battle in the Fallow Mire. It was insane.

I cannot wait! One thing DAI lacks is good hair. But that practically every bioware game ever right?

Speaking of bugs. I must say that for a game with so much exploration on so much Rocky terrain. Bioware have done extremely well to undulate it enough that you barely ever get stuck.

Actually, Cullen is one of the few Bioware romances that I think would fit with a wedding.  I mean I really see him as the sort of character who would be keen on formal commitments and wanting to do the appropriate socially sanctioned thing with his lover.

 

I don't actually think we'll ever see anything of the sort but I'd say it's actually a pretty good fit for him and the romance story.   :)

at the winter palace if your in a romance with him someone asks Cullen if hes married and he says "Umm Not yet"

Popping in again after my weekend gameplay binge....still not finished LOL.

 

Has anyone had party banter or War Table banter acknowledging the Cullen romance? I haven't even had the cutscene with Dorian commenting....which is weird. Sera ia the only one who says anything during her thoughts on your advisors.However they have all been commenting on Blackwall and Josephine.

 

On the thread topic of is Cullen a virgin in Inquisition...well I really don't mind either way, but here are my own thoughts on the matter.

 

Adult Cullen doesn't seem the type to play around, but if he did have a physical relationship, I'd have said it was when he was going through the typical teenage experimentation stage before Kinloch Hold.

 

Indications are that the only romantic entanglements are Mage Warden (unrequited) and Inquisitor.

 

The Desire Demon torture is likely to have used sexual images, and indeed he comments in DAO that the Mage Warden was used against him. His defence was his faith (DAI dialogue) and knowledge that such a relationship was wrong (DAI dialogue)...no matter how much he wanted it. From what we saw in DAO illusions created by demons are very real and would leave a similar mark to a physical act. I see this as a form of mental rape, and am not surprised at how he lashed out when rescued.

 

So, if put on the spot I'd say that Cullen was physically a virgin, but had very vivid memories of a sexual nature.

Heh, I was in Emprise du Lion yesterday parkouring like a boss until my character 'slipped' and fell into a crack. So there I was jumping around trying to extricate myself and accidently pressed right bumper. Which was tied to leaping shot. Leapt out of the crack and straight over the cliff face to my doom. 

 

I could literally envision Cassandra at the top looking down and just facepalming my poor embarassed Quizzy.
