(Thanks
) How about: "Will Cullen react differently to me if I'm a mage?"
Or "Will Cullen treat me differently or badly if I'm a mage? Will he be mean to me?"
Thanks, this was helpful. I'm going to make the wording more my own, but this was a good direction to go in terms of condensing my nebulous idea! 
Varric's coming with me everywhere, it's a tradition!
So I'm guessing you'll be VERY well versed in the Varric & Cullen party banter eh? 
Huh?
Anders knew exactly what he had done, which was why he wanted to die. He did what he did to start a rebellion he believed needed to happen lest the mages continue to be abused by a system that protected the corrupt, but he believed completely that he would -- and should -- die for it, to give those who had been caught in the middle justice.
He understood the facts of what he had done, but my Hawke didn't get the impression that he really understood the moral implications. He showed an acceptance of justice, but didn't appear remorseful or capable of any future mercy - which made my Hawke think Vengeance had corrupted him so thoroughly there was no going back.
Not trying to argue objective truths about Anders, just saying how my Hawke perceived the situation.
I don't mind Seb too much, but some of his writing made no sense to me whatsoever. He was a complete and total playboy before his vows, and yet he acts like a completely sheltered virgin at times. I find it just a little... worthy of side-eyeing because I can't help but feel his writer fell into a stereotypical religious trap with him.
I agree; also, is it canon that a brother has to be chaste? Obviously, Leliana was not.

I feckin' love Supernatural! Those Winchester boys!
Supernatural is the best.

Ditto, dear. Him threatening to burn down Kirkwall made me give him the boot. Also, I don't like it when people question my showing mercy.
Well Sebastian had pretty good reason to do so. He saw his new home and family explode in the air..
Eh, I just like Sebastian a lot ^^; As long as his threat stays as words and not action I think it's understable. What comes to Anders.. I can't justify what he did in the end, it was act of terrorism and because of him many people died that day. My canon Hawke lets him go and fights him when he comes back so he's dead in my DAI.
Then you probably won't like that I killed him in the end :I
You've certainly mentioned it enough! I usually look the other way when people talk about hating Fenris; it's just not worth getting angry over. He's my favorite character, and I have my reasons, and that's the end of it

Oh, I'm not trying to say your decision was wrong! I just had no idea where you were getting this idea that Anders didn't understand what he was doing thing from, so I was utterly confused.
But yeah, he wasn't sorry for what he had done. He was sorry for the innocent people caught in the middle, but he believed in what he was doing. It wasn't a sunshine and daisies happy decision, but something needed to happen to usher in change and he decided to be the one to take that first, erasable step.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter and all that, I suppose...
While I am assuming he didn't see it directly, I would like have seen Cullen's reaction of the chantry going boom. Or have heard his thoughts of it. He only ever spoke of the annulment and Meredith being crazy after the fact.
Did he even know Anders was the one who did it?

I don't think so. I think his vows of chastity was just something extra he decided to do, to show he had chosen the Chantry over his former lifestyle.
It's canon when you take vows, you have to become chaste. Leliana was staying with the Chantry, but made no vows.
Well... vows are dumb; gosh, I just don't understand religion 
(Being silly here; don't be mad, religious folk 
)

This was the impression I got too - that it was a personal vow to renounce his former lifestyle, not something mandated by his role.
We've officially filled over 100 pages sense the trailer release. WOWZA
Hey Artemis,
I'm really relieved that you have found some peace with the sexuality issue. I can honestly say that I would MISS you if you dropped out of the fandom....and you don't want to make me use unhappy emoticons, really?
PS - I'm of the opinion that Cass and Cullen are likely to be the bi companions because it seems a little unlike Bioware to announce the gated LIs first. I genuinely think they want to be inclusive and sensitive to their fanbase and I think they would have defined the status more clearly if the romances were not available to all players. So I think there's still hope.

Man, I'm spiritual and I don't understand it!

Ahh I'm embarrassed now cause my post was so dramatic this morning But I was seriously upset (I'm still a bit choked up when I think of it too much). Gee, I dunno why anyone would miss me; most of the time I'm the pompous a$$ who just corrects everyone's grammar
I know they want to be inclusive and they're definitely sensitive, good people. Doesn't mean they will make the decisions I'd have made; people have different ideas about what it means to be sensitive and inclusive. But I'd surely love for you to be right.
You've certainly mentioned it enough!

So why go (figuratively) balls-to-the-wall chaste? Why not just renounce promiscuity? Weird.
Well don't worry, Templars make no such vow! (Well they do vow here and there, but not that kind of vow) All is good!
I don't know what you're talking about; Cullen's vows are of no concern to my inquisitor
I really have no issue with people disliking characters I like. We all have different tastes. I adore Fenris, but different strokes and all that.
(Just please don't tell my Hawke if you killed Fenris; it'll drive her into a murderous rage. )
I thought he was chaste because all affirmed (is that the right word here?) brothers are married to Andraste? In a sort of spiritual way?
We know templars make no such vows.
