Sounds delicious. I need me some strong tea. 

[Cerulione]

Exactly, and I'm glad that Cullen didn't have to go through it alone, but has the support of Cassandra... and then the Inquisitor (whether as a friend or a romantic interest).  I hope that after the events of DA: I, Cassandra, the Inquisitor and Cullen collaborate to create a some kind of support network for templars who wish to break the lyrium leash (which was kind of hinted at in some dialogue).  Cassandra becomes the next Divine in my PT, so I like to think that this actually happened since she had a hand in helping Cullen and wished to reform the Chantry.

 

Cullen will do if you side with the Templars & keep him off Lyrium.

 

I can see Cass helping too, if she's not a Divine or busy rebuilding the Seeker.

For me it was about 30 dollars I think. Probably because I live in Europe... 

 

I don't know what it would be for smaller amounts but it only give me price for 1kg which would be 40 dollars just for shipping ^^

 

OMG! In the US they have flat-rate shipping for $3.75...and free shipping on orders over $49

 

In Canada. It says unavailable...

 

That must be it. Maybe it's not showing as out of stock for me since it's a different warehouse.

Ti and I already discussed the topic I want to bring before everyone else since I find it to be pretty interesting and everyone is probably going to have some kind of opinion about it. So how you guys think Cullen would react to his child or children gifted with magic?

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

Yeah the scene is just very very cold. She really doesn't give a damn. IMO, it's a big jump from being a caring friend or LI and then shoving it down his throat. It's really just abrupt. I can't do that to someone. 

 

Why not? Because doing it can result in the templars that were recruited to decide to permenantly leave the chantry to stay as the inquisitor's personal elite army. Just imagine how much more powerful your inquisitor could become! 

 

And to be extra cruel, have your inquistor who romances him pick the templar spec herself, just to make it even more difficult to quit!

[Scintillla]

Aww.... I want the tea... but with 30 dollars shipment it doesn't worth the while

 

Anyway I'm still thinking of getting Cullen's Scent of Warden perfume, just can't bear the thought of my boyfriend found it on my night table.

 

Wait...is this a thing?

Oh, I sided with the mages.  I still hope it happens, though!

Hmm...It may require some adapting for him.  If the mother of the child was a mage, I think he'd have an easier time adapting to it, at least.  He wouldn't love his child any less, though.

I will be doing just that with my current playthrough. But not in the way you make it sound.

Perhaps in another PT...but I find it cruel. I know it`s an RPG...but I`d have to create a character who`s an hard a$$ the entire game.

Better than Fenris realized his kid with Hawke has magic, I guess

 

Cullen's a middle-ground man. He's not the one who'll say things are either black or white. I don't think he'll do the same thing like that Templar (Thrask?) in DA2 who got a mage kid & tried to hide her, personally I can see him sending her off to a Circle, or whatever the institution they got in the future, for her to training. With heavy heart, probably, but he'll do that. Remember that convo "what if I get possessed"? It says a lot.

 

But afterward it might depend on how the Inquisitor will react, if the quizzy is a mage herself or not.

 

Wait...is this a thing?

 

Yup. Here: Scent of a Warden. Cullen's description pretty good.

The person who makes them is on hiatus atm unfortunately.  I wouldn't mind getting a sample of Cullen's and Alistair's to spritz on my husband when he's not looking. 

[Cantina]

This. I can find no excuse for my Inquisitor to force him back onto lyrium.

Agreed. My husband plays the opposite of me, cold, direct, evil etc. However when it comes to this choice he simply cannot tell Cully-Wully to start taking it again. To me that is saying something.

But everyone plays differently and has their own idea on what is right and what is wrong. I for one respect that, I may not agree, but as I said respect it.

At any rate I suppose it's best to move on before this turns into an angry mob as it has in the past.

Huh. My initial reaction was identical to kalalala's: he'd love his child regardless, but things would probably be easier if the child's mother was also a mage. The end.

But Cerulione has me thinking: there's rather a lot more to it than that, isn't there? What will the Circles look like in ten or fifteen years' time? That would have a tremendous impact on the experiences of an IQ/Cullen/mage kid family.

I approach it immediately from the POV of my canon mage Trevelyan; she didn't have any particular grudge against the Circle (it helped that, like Vivienne, she was privileged) and would not have an issue sending her child there. But what if the IQ was Dalish? I'm not sure whether Cullen would really be on board with attempting to hide his child's abilities.

[MelissaGT]

Ok, I just have to add that it doesn't have to be that way. Here's a quick summary for my Rhiannon:

 

Being the youngest of the Trevelyan house, she was always destined for the Chantry. She chose to become a Templar because she felt she could do the most good with that life of service. Besides, she's pretty good with her sword and shield. She was ready to complete her training, however things changed at the Conclave. Believing that her survival meant something, she still intends to complete her training, even after finding out what that means (a life addicted to lyrium). However, she is willing to make that sacrifice in the line of duty. Knowing that most die or go mad when trying to come off lyrium, she urges Cullen to continue. They will look for a way to end the addiction safely...together, after the Inquisition is no longer needed.

 

This is a completely valid point of view. Nowhere does Bioware tell us that he's "in the clear" with his lyrium withdrawls. The scene on the ramparts shows him feeling better. He's having a good day. He even says it "comes and goes." We know he still has headaches and nightmares. Who is to say we won't get a dlc where he ends up dying if we tell him not to take it? Wouldn't that be just like Bioware to throw us that sort of curve ball? 

 

Again, I think calling it "cruel" or "not right" should be avoided. People are free to have their own thoughts and opinions about it, but others shouldn't feel like they have to justify their reasoning behind it. This is a very touchy subject and arguments have broken out time and again around it.

Has it? That`s really too bad, cause at the end of the day, it`s an RPG. Oh well.

Don`t say that!!!!! lol

 

It doesn`t have to, indeed. I tend to be either nice, sarcastic, or hard a$$. lol Guess I would have to change it up and see. If Bioware kills off Cullen...lawd help them.

That's what we thought as well. Although we also thought that he would be even more protective of them when compared to a child without any magical talents. Ti also thought that he would be pretty much be reminding the child or children of their gift's danger. Then I was like my mage would probably just be facepalming in the background since she would find it cute, but she would be just as protective as he was and she could actually teach that child or their children to master their gifts.

I know my mage would have an awkward laugh and be like. "Yeah...no." She loved to study and the Circle System in general, but she did have a good experience with those around her; plus she did not love the feeling of being constantly watched and judged. So I think my mage would probably be against sending their child or children to the Circle, unless she and Cullen could constantly check up on them and know that Circle is top of the line.

I feel like there should have been more of an impact. In retrospect, the only time so far in my PT that I`m thinking that it may not have been such a good idea, is when he mentions that the nightmares are worse without the lyrium. Being confronted with the issue a few times may have prompted some to make a different choice. 

[Ryriena]

I was going to laugh because I could just imagine Anders teasing Fenris left and right about his child being a mage. Oh the irony is just Iceing on the cake for me xd.

See I don't think I'd buy it now that we have official confirmation of what he apparently smells like - Elderflower and Oackmoss. I would be tempted to have something custom made to see what that smells like.

I will freaking rage so badly if characters get killed off for literally no reason but getting a reaction out of all us. Lola posted a great post a while back on how she felt they used the Alistair and Hawke scene to simply make the player feel horrible. There should always be a reason for a character's death or troubled time, ugh I just hate it when people kill characters off for an emotional reaction and leave little to no closure.

To be honest, I am unfamiliar with the scents. I`d be willing to try it though. It is supposed to be foul smelling?

My man hasn't played this one yet (workaholic) but he has already said he's gonna play evil.  He always does.  He used to watch me play Mass Effect and encourage me to pick the renegade options.  

 

I agree with Scintilla, would have been cool to get a short montage of helping him through his withdrawals, or even Cassandra helping him if he wanted to hide it from the Inquisitor.  There is fanfic out there for that though!
