I will still welcome Cullen on next game though, even if he's un-romanceable (look at Morrigan & Leliana). He could be like an advisor still. Or even Playable Companion.

 

The scenario might go like this: Something happen, he join the whatever-it-is cause of the DA4 to save the world so that (if romanced) the quizzy & him can still have a "home" in this world.

 

Or even small Cameo like Alistair and Hawke.

 

I dare say we'll get some sort of cameo or mention of him somewhere in DA4, though I'd prefer him not to show up in-game in case they pull another Abyss stunt.

If I recall correctly, that was a line of dialogue from some American show Greg was in or something, lol.

I need to find that show bc not gonna lie. Those lines sound hot.

[panichord]

It's actually a clip on Greg's demo reel from a guest appearance on nip/tuck, I believe. Never watched the show myself.

...real question: Is he using Cullen's voice?

...real question: Is he using Cullen's voice? 

 

The answer is no, it sounds very murdery

[Cerulione]

Example of Greg's speaking normally:

 

 

Well, I surely recognize the Cullen in him but it's not quite the same (accent...?)

[panichord]

Example of Greg's speaking normally:

 

 

Well, I surely recognize the Cullen in him but it's not quite the same. Cullen speaks slower & a little more pronounced...?

I'd say he drops his voice lower and holds his accent, but in a nicer manner. He definitely speaks slower too.

He's got a soft Northern accent, but it's still pretty close to Cullen's voice.

I'm fairly certain I'd be that person who asks him to talk like Cullen if I met him >.<

It did sound a bit like Cullen's voice, yeah, but the way he said it made me nope out of tumblr

[LolaLei]

He'd probably have to try and remember what Cullen sounds like first, LOL! 

[R2s Muse]

This might help

LOL I am in the middle of writing that! That's why I am asking. 

[panichord]

LMAO it's okay I'd guide him to it:

Me: *listens* A little lower, *listens* less accent, *listens* More annunciation, *listens* Maybe.....

Sure, but this isn't real life. It's BioWare. You know for well that in order for the Warden to cure the Calling something horrible will have to happen that'll likely kill her off. Then of course, you have to factor in that not all Wardens are Amells/Suranas, let alone whether or not the player played as a female, what race, who they romanced (if at all), and whether or not he/she is even still alive. Then of course, if you did play as a female mage warden they'd have to take into account whether or not the player even bothered to talk to Cullen, let alone be friendly, or try to seduce him. Some female Wardens were down right horrible to him. Too many possibilities and outcomes to dedicate something like that to the small percentage of female mage Warden players that actually ship the pairing.

 

Better to leave it open ended and ambiguous like they have and let people headcanon in whatever they want.

 

To be honest, I think his two mentions of Amell/Surana will be it and I doubt they will build on that pairing in-game in a romantic sense. Could you imagine all those people that played as a mage warden and found Cullen's crush in Origins creepy as hell (there are a lot of people that feel this way) suddenly have Cullen and their warden hooking up? Umm, it would be a disaster. They can't just assume that everyone that played a mage had a thing for Cullen as to why nothing will ever come of it. I like how they have let it open to interpretation so that people can head-cannon their own thing and I think that is how it should stay.

@R2, I actually just checked my endgame codex on Gale.

 

 

Cullen's entry just has the normal bio section, followed by that one letter to Mia.

Awesome. Thank you! That's what I suspected, but I wanted to make sure.

[LolaLei]

LMAO it's okay I'd guide him to it:

Me: *listens* A little lower, *listens* less accent, *listens* More annunciation, *listens* Maybe.....

 

I'd say "your voice, my accent" and (in theory) he should nail it.

Thanks, I will try using Afterburner and just disabling the OSD. 

 

Can I ask what monitoring tools you use? I've tried NVIDIA's and didn't like ti as much as Afterburner.

 

I don't do much in the way of monitoring, but, if I feel the need to check something, I just use NVIDIA Inspector (for GPU only) or Open Hardware Monitor.

 

Having said that, I installed MSI Afterburner to check, and I'm actually running the game with the on-screen display active right now and haven't crashed yet. Could still cause problems, though, as I've seen other people say it has. As for disabling the OSD, I guess you just go to Settings > Monitoring and uncheck the "Show in On-Screen Display" setting for every option you have set to show? Maybe? Hoping this is at least somewhat helpful. 

[riverbanks]

Hah, depends entirely on how attached I get to my next DA hero. I mean, if I had to choose between my Warden and Hawke, bye Hawke. If I don't care too much for my next hero and it's between Cullen living happily ever after with my Inquisitor, then yeah, by Future Next Hero.

 

Heh, it's the other way around for me. My Warden is a Warden first of all, and a Warden's life is sacrifice. She would absolutely sacrifice herself without a thought to save Hawke and Trevelyan, who (despite being figures of authority) she would consider innocent civilians in the war against the Blight. She is dead in my canon playthrough, so it's not like it would be the first time she gives her life away to protect the world. My Hawke... I have so many feelings about Hawke. She never wanted any of the sh!t she was pulled into, she just wanted to get by and ended up losing so much... I could never give her such a meaningless death when she's finally getting some semblance of normalcy and happiness in her life.

 

The Abyss choice for me is always to sacrifice whoever the Warden is for that playthrough, in any case, be it Stroud or Alistair or Loghain, because to me that's the basic premise of the Wardens, that's what Wardens do. In death, sacrifice. If the choice had been between my Warden and my Hawke... bye again, Warden.

 

I am pretty emotionally invested in my Inquisitor, though, so a Sophie's Choice for a next game would make my nose twitch endlessly. Not even for herself, but for Cullen's sake. I always thought there was something beautiful and strong in Alistair carrying the weight of his dead love in his heart for the rest of his life (lol, poor sod ), but... I couldn't do that to Cullen. He's been through so much, he's seen too much sh!t, and I basically just want him to be happy, period. No more drama, no more angst, no more heartbreak... just puppies and happiness. So if I had to sacrifice my Inquisitor in a next game...? Tough question. I would if Cullen had been lost already - but while he lives and loves and has his happy ending, I don't know if I could bring myself to take that away from him.

I'm at the point of the game where in I lack interactions w/ Cullen and have to wait for the ending. Ah the withdrawals...

The one mention in DAI to the Inquisitor was more than enough, in my opinion. Anything more than that (like the Leliana questioning) was needless.

LOL 

 

So is "Forgive me" his ongoing line for use? 

[amber2403]

This is never going to happen, in any case, for a very practical reason: they don't rewrite the same romance twice. Mike and David have been very categoric that once a character has been a love interest once, they will never be a love interest again, because they won't waste resources telling the same story over. The word count will always go to a new story, rather than retelling the same tale. And this was said about Morrigan and Leliana, who have a huge amount of wanking and begging for a second romance storyline, not even Cullen who was the dark horse of last minute romances.

So, not even taking into consideration how minimal the percentage of specifically unromanced female mage Wardens is that could possibly benefit from such a romance, among the dozens of variables for Wardens... a second romance with Cullen is not happening, because his romance arc has already been told.

That's what headcanon is for, though. At least you can always have him there.

I can't tell if this is coming off hostile or not so I'm going to assume not. It's really hard to tell tone and inflection and sll that through the Internet ya know? I understand that the writers and creators said that about romancing them. But Im a never say never type of person. It could happen. It might not, but eventually it could come to where they decide to open the possibilities back up.

And they could limit the possibilities to avoid messing up previous play throughs. It doesn't seem like it would be all that difficult considering they kind of do that now w Cullen. If you're in a romance w someone else you can't romance Cullen. And they have the DA Keep now too to make setting those decisions in the game super easy.

They could theoretically revisit future romances without jacking up the game for some who might prefer their original relationships. I think that would be a great route for them to go. To give those of us that might like to see these people different scenarios.

I understand that it was stated they have no interest in doing this. But really who knows what's going to come out of all of it. That tweet though made it sound like they were at least entertaining the idea.

But I won't keep loading up the thread with my Cullen/Amell blather. I'm clearly in the minority here. Lol. All I know is if that ever becomes a possibility, I'm taking it.

One of the many reasons I turned to writing, right there.

Just to make sure, you mean the letter *from* Mia, right?  It's the wiki.. it has to be correct!

See, I don't like sacrificing any of my protagonist because they've all been thrown into something beyond their control and their love interests (Alistair, Anders, Cullen) are all tragic figures in there own way, perhaps Alistair more so in a way, because he had a terrible childhood and still feels undeserving of the Warden's love even now (as he mentions in DAI as a Warden). I wouldn't want to separate any of them from my protagonist because I want them to be happy.

I do agree with that as to why I am interpreting it as him just asking out of some sort of fleeting curiosity rather than for any other reason. Any who, my cannon is now a rogue since I didn't want to have to make that horrible decision at Adamant so I will never actually have to hear that dialogue.
