Hah, I finally decide to de-lurk with a question about when people start their romances, and it's just been brought up!  Perfect timing!

 

I'm still working on my first playthrough (started late and am something of a completionist), and I didn't trigger Cullen's until after Perseverance.  The flow of their relationship just seemed to work that way, or at least in my head.  It also meant that I could use the "Could you care for a mage?" line (also a fan of the mage/templar dynamic) without asking myself, "Didn't they already go over this in Haven, more or less?"

 

But I'm incredibly curious about whether that changes any of their conversations post-Adamant.  Someone said something about Cullen comforting the IQ?  Or is that just referring to the Feeling Better scene when he asks how she's doing?

 

I loved that part.  So Cullen.  So great.  Like someone else said, all too often with Bioware games the PC ends up playing therapist to every other character while getting little or no support in return.  The conversation with Dorian post-Adamant was a perfect example.  After all she did for him, he just prattled on and on while she stood there with the most miserable expression ever.  I was muttering the entire time, "Ugh, Dorian, no wonder you don't have many friends!  Shut up and give her a hug, already!"

Well, there are at least a few points points when Cullen gave the quizzy encouragement (romanced only?):

- If you chose to support his decision to stop on Lyrium on perseverance quest, the next scene at the battlement he'll ask how are you holding up & give proper encouragement & that "If there is anything I can do you need only to ask" line with hand-at-heart movement the Inquisition people tend to do

- At the end of Winter Palace, he was so worried about you & again asking how are you holding up, and you get either a dance (you asked previously) or a hug

- He tried to give his lucky coin because "you walk into danger everyday". That's something.

 

Maybe there are some later on Idk.

Try this dyamic on for size...warrior Trevelyan training to become a templar pre-conclave (you were the youngest in your family so this is likely how you would end up as devoted to the chantry). 

 

I played my sword n board Trevelyan this way and I enjoyed that dynamic more than the whole mage/templar thing...maybe because the mage/templar thing has been done time and time again? Don't get me wrong, I have two mages with Cullen too! I just loved the warrior dynamic more.

 

Or...my dual-dagger rogue...they're going to have some very interesting sparring sessions... *cough*

Just be careful with heat. That's one of the biggest reasons why I hate gaming on laptops...heat and not being able to open it up and clean it out.

 

I have a special "computer blower" that I use to blow all the dust out every once in a while...

 

Yeah, I agree about the heat. It doesn't help that my cat likes to curl up right behind the laptop and block the vent and I have to move him.  But he's super cute so I can't get mad.

Thanks, Cerulion, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

I don't know whether there will be more, I've seen some spoilers but only play up just before Temple of Mythal...

I started the options as soon as they showed up in Haven and always picked that option if I could, so I pretty much started everything asap. The reason the whole "could you care for a mage" thing comes up a second time is because the first time it comes up the Inquisiter doesn't know about what happened at the Fereldan Circle, and after she knows she just needs reassurance.. so it fit and made sense too me even though we had already sort of covered it.

 

Also the way the pacing worked out I personally had the same realization my Inquister and Cullen had at Adamant... the whole just how much danger they both are always in whenever anything really big happens. In fact my literal thought when he said they'd hold as long as they could was "****. He's in danger in every big fight"... which also made afterwards feel really natural.

In my head she only started templar training pre-conclave...later she asked him about it and they decided together that becoming a champion would be for the best. She didn't want to make him be so close to a lyrium user.

Then again I wonder how it would feel telling him to keep on the lyrium for now ad then try to quit later together, using the "We'll find another way" option.

[Arlee]

Pretty sure if at any point you tell him to start using lyrium again it ends any possibility of furthering the romance.

I have six cats so frequent pc cleaning is a must. Thank goodness my tower has cleanable dust screens covering each intake.

My work computer doesn't fare so well. Its not my job to clean it but I did when I had to turn the old one in for a new one to save myself the embarrassment. ..I swear a whole cat practically came out!

[MidgetNemo]

I have a question,how late can you start the romance? I'm thinking about rolling as a quizzy Who romances Blackwall but ultimately breaks it off when she finds out who he is,is it possible to start Cullen's romance that late?

[Akaneryuu]

I really missed you guys today   . Super busy with my things to do before Christmas list  ugghh

I think it would qualify as metaphorically slapping his face and not supporting him, plus it's his no-no topic.

 

It probably took a lot to even mention it (and let it be seen) to your Inquisitor since he's such a "I am only ever fine, regardless of how I really feel" type.

 

But yeah from  what I've heard if you just tell him to start taking it again. You one-shot the romance into oblivion.

I think someone said you can't lock romances after the what pride had wrought quest so anything before should be okay

[MelissaGT]

So I need help deciding the direction my dual-dagger fireball should go...templar or mage? I know all the outcomes and I normally go mage just so I can get Cullen's nemesis quest. BUT how would you guys role this one from a RP perspective? She's been getting along nicely with Bull and Viv so far.

Hm, with that setup I'd say she swings more for the Templars.

Not if you tell him that you will help him look for another way when the time is right.

So far I've always supported him from the start since he's already suffered for months - why make him start over.

^ this.

 

But if you tell him to just take it (and essentially STFU about it) that's a final write-off.

Y'all saw this right?

Haha ok thanks!

Oh jeeze, same here. I am now about to embark upon the great wrapping quest. If I don't get another chance, I want to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all my Cullenite peeps!!  Hope you guys have some time off, and that you have a great time! Love you all. 

 

And now I leave you with a question: Why is "That was all" even a choice? *gigglesnort*

Wonder how that would work? Would all the romance scenes play out back to back, like "eff this! Its the end of the world!!" ? I mean, we didn't test Cullens desk til I finished both fade and halamshiral and everything went at a rather leisurely pace.

Please let me know how you fare! My 3rd pt I planned on romancing Blackwall too but id love to finish strong with cullen!

I actually made my second character a Quinari just because I knew I'd find myself back with Cullen if I didn't. Of course this way when he turned my Quinari down my actual reaction was "damn right he's Loralee's" ><

[LolaLei]

So, I just finished DAI for a second time, managed to get Cullen to tell the Inquisitor she looks lovely, he also says "come to distract me, have you?" In a cheeky/suggestive manner, which was cute!

 

Spoiler

Somehow Vivienne ended up being Divine despite me never getting the war table quest to support someone, not sure if she's a good choice or not tbh. Templars are coming off lyrium and a lot of them joined the Seekers, Cullen says he'll not rejoin them and will not be so easily enticed away. Epilogue seemed to glitched and suggested that I just had Celene on the throne whilst Gaspard and Briala plot in the shadows with the elven uprising and whatever else Gaspard has planned. This time Morrigan appeared in the epilogue slider alone without the kid with her, which is odd. Also Varric still won't talk to me during the celebration, there's no option to click on him or anything.

As far as I am aware, there isn't a war table mission to pick Divines, cause I have never gotten it. You just have to bring it up in dialogue with them. I think Leliana or Viv is the default, if you didn't really talk to any of the 3 about being Divine.

 

As for the OCW, if you supported Celene, then the Gaspard and Bri plotting thing is supposed to happen. Morrigan appearing alone in the epilogue mosaic slide thing is definitely a bug.
