Yeah, I wish there had been more chances to establish our Inquisitor's thoughts and feelings about being the Inquisitor. Sure, people would ask occasionally but there was never any moments where I felt like my Inquisitor was just winging it or that I was failing in my mission... I guess cos we were able to stump Corypheus at every turn lol. I dunno, it's hard to put my finger on exactly feels wrong about it but I just don't feel like the Inquisitor ever becomes fully actualised as a character in his/her own right.

Interesting. I guess it really depends on how you visualized your Inquisitors as actual characters. For me, I was able to completely able to self-insert for my first and am having a lot of fun roleplaying in my second, w/ Lugh.

 

For my Gale, the first one, I was able to completely act as if I put myself in the game (albeit if I was white, had blonde hair, and could shoot fire from my fingers).

 

They gave me great opportunities to flesh out my own character, and great ways for me to expand upon what I was given in game through my own writings. Now, this in complete opposition to how I felt about DA2. My Hawke was cool and all, but he wasn't a really well-defined character to me. Neither was my Warden. Of the two, none were able to capture my own personal voice that I so desperately wanted. And, while the Warden came a tad closer than Hawke, the voiceless BS really detracted from my Amell's ability to come to life, for me.

Pretty much agree with R2s Muse on the roleplaying aspect. In an ideal world where word/time/money budgets were non-existant Bioware could create amazing role playing experiences where we could shape our characters to our hearts desire but we're always going to be limited to a degree in the types of characters we can play unless bioware decide to go back to having a silent PC where their entire personality is sort of defined by us and that is something which I find highly unlikely.

[AirimirOfGondor]

Thanks so much for the suggestions on the outfit guys! My starting point is so much more clearly defined now!

[Sensenmensch]

Airimir, you should post photos of your cosplay when you're done!

DAI assumes you want to play a character who is comfortable stepping into that leadership role almost as soon as you get to Skyhold, making key decisions, passing judgments, and so on. Idk it constantly felt forced to me. I lost my character kind of right after "And Your Heart Shall Burn."

 

This is why as much as I love Hawke, Varric was spot on that Hawke would never have wanted to have been the Inquisitor, as Hawke tended to shirk any kind of official responsibility in order to remain a free-agent. Sure, I could see an Inquisitor Hawke going through the motions and staying around to defeat Corypheus, but who doesn't think they'd have done a runner straight after?

 

I got them, there just weren't enough of them for my liking, lol. 

 

Yeah, most of our conversations were about us being the Herald and a religious icon, rather than the Inquisitor having any real conversation about how they felt about the whirlind that they were being swept up into. Sure, my Inquisitor was modest and downplayed any idea they were special, but we never got any convos that let us admit that "I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing!"

The skirt drapey thing... it's akin to the Templar skirts, using the same fabric, but I honestly can't follow when folks describe how it's actually a skirt "pinned" up somehow.

 

Ok I'm terrible at explaining this in words and I can't draw to give better visual reference either, so maybe my A++ flawless MS Paint skills will help. Imagine this is his new, non-Templar standard issue breastplate and new pretty burgundy robes, instead of the ugly DAO model. 

 

 

See how the robe would go up and then drape down after pinned? That's how his new outfit holds up in place.

I can't believe the lengths people will go to in order to justify their dislike of a character and try to delegitimize people who do like those characters. The whole white supremacy thing just doesn't pan out.

 

Alistair and Anders will romance anyone more or less. Granted, Alistair is straight and Anders can only romance humans, but BioWare did that, not the people who are playing the game. Alistair will happily romance any race you bring at him, and Anders will romance any Hawke of either gender. I'm not sure how you can make an argument for someone to have romanced both of them and call it "white supremacy" on the part of the player. After all, the player could have come at Alistair with a female dwarf and romanced Anders with male Hawke, and either of those PCs could have been made with any of the available skin tones.

 

As for Cullen and DA:I, well, yes, he's gated, but again, that's BioWare and NOT the player. And how do you explain Blackwall? If I romance Blackwall, Alistair and Anders ... am I not just as "white male supremacist?" After all, they are all white males.

 

Nope. It's just a poor argument that's grounded in emotion and not logic and makes no real sense.

 

As for me, if there is any trend, it's that I like my romances to have as little drama as possible. It's the only thing I can think of that explains why I have both Alistair and Zevran romances (both are more or less happy outcomes depending on how you play it) and only romanced Anders once and couldn't bring myself to do it again after that first play through. All of the rest were Fenris runs because HE at least doesn't go nuts on you and stays with you at the end.

So I have no idea where I might ask about this... This thread is the only place I can think of where I might be able to get legit good suggstions about this; since it's all relatively new, I have a feeling only serious Cullen fans could help with it. I'm starting to plan out a Cullen cosplay, and I have all but the pauldrons and cloak worked out.

Anyways, the questions. What are Cullen's pauldrons actually made of? They kind of look like they could be feathers or fur. I also can't quite pin down their color. Are they more black, or brown? I know there are red highlights, but screencaps, promo materials, and in game always look different.

As for his cloak, does anyone have any ideas about how exactly he is wearing that? XD It looks like its just wrapped around him somehow, but it also feels like it could be a vest or something.

 

oohhh cullen cosplay!! post photos when you'll have some parts of the costume done ;u;

 

i think i might know how the cloak is pinned and worn by him, lemme draw you an outline

if we assume that he uses his old templar skirt, that's how i imagine he would pin it and wear

 

i'm not a tailor or cosplay expert, but that's how i would do it if i was making cullen's cosplay (boo hoo it would be awesome, even if i could only cosplay as a fem!cullen, still... no monies ;A; )

Clicth involving Cullen that my friend had in her DAI XD (linked since it's NSFW):

Wait, is Fem!Cullen cosplay a thing... because if not, it needs to be a thing?

[AirimirOfGondor]

Airimir, you should post photos of your cosplay when you're done!

 

XD It's all a matter of how long it takes to make!

Ohh, this does make sense! Thanks!!

I was just talking with a friend and she brought up something I hadn't considered as regards to why Cullen isn't attracted to female qunari. She seems to think that it could be that they remind him a little too much of desire demons given their horns and looking back at the models from DAO and DA2 I can sort of see where she's coming from. I still believe it's a resource thing as to why they're not but in terms of headcanon that reason kind of works for me. I'm already forming an angsty fanfic in my head of Cullens reactions to a female mage Adaar.

I think it's just because of time restrictions, they didn't have and resources the animate more. So since Cullen was into female human and elf on DAO they couldn't cut those off so they only included them and saved animation resources. The desire demon theory is pretty intresting though I think that desire demons that tormented him took form of Amell or Surana to do so

[morie91]

Wait, is Fem!Cullen cosplay a thing... because if not, it needs to be a thing?

 

but you don't know airimir's gender (at least i don't)... tho i'd give everything to make fem!cullen cosplay a thing

pity that it would probably cost me a new tablet or even more! so i'd rather allot my money for tablet than costume, i need it more

Actually the gender doesn't matter when cosplaying so even that wouldn't help ^^ fem!Cullen would be intresting to see for sure though!

For the fur of the collar, if you can't find anything else (I'm not sure even fake bear fur is going to be easy to find), a lambskin with really long hairs could be dyed the right colors I think. Depends on where you live as to what you might be able to find.

I think most of us whose preferred Inquisitors were excluded would prefer to think it was time restrictions.

Mmm I dunno. The vest part crisscrosses in front. Plus the new templar skirts aren't made 100% of that material. Just the front panel is. It could also be my complete lack of spatial acuity, but I think he just has a new outfit designed to look that way instead if it being a cludge of an actual templar skirt. :shrug: But I know lots of folks are working on figuring it out. If Only they'd give us a character reference sheet like for the more 'popular' characters.

Yeah like I said I believe its a resource issue but my friend thinks it's that so I'm letting her run with her headcanon, not that I could tell her otherwise 

 

She was gutted when she started her playthrough as a fem qunari and couldn't romance him. 

[Elanor]

I just finished the game and I have to say that I really love how Cullen romance came out. Well, it has flaws but I'm satisfied with it. 

[Sephirona]

This is a quick layout of how I imagined his clothing was put together personally just so I could get on with sketching him. I've probably gotten parts wrong but it's how I made sense of it. Hopefully we'll get a character sheet sometime in the future cause that would really help. ;-;

Yep I have been there too. I planned romancing him with qunari mage like half year until his race-gating as announced.. not a happy day

*whispers from beyond the grave*

 

Surana was a thing tooooooooooooo
