I'm aware. But no matter what Bioware does, someone is gonna be angry.
True. I just hope they settle for a balance between the tragedies and happy endings. Zevran's the one from DAO that seems closest to a happy ending to me (and I'm not at all prejudiced by the fact he's my favorite 
)
Sex appeal?
Lol, so he outsexied the lyrium addiction?
I'm indeed aware of what Cassandra said. But why has it still taken, spoken about or not, 1000 years for some to break the addiction?
We don't know how many people may have tried; it may not have been any. And we don't know if people have succeeded and they've lied about it or even weren't aware of it (I can imagine exiting the order without some objections would be complicated.)
Cassandra said something about it ... Mages speaks about their suffering but not the Templars. It makes sense.
You know, she says that, but Templars' problems get a lot of air time in the games, actually. Carroll in DAO, the Templar at the door of the chantry in Denerim, the Templar who was held in Howe's dungeon, what happened to Cullen, what happened to the other templars at Kinloch, what Alistair had to say at different points, etc. And DA2 has lots more on the templars and their problems. And while technically mages can speak about their suffering, who did they speak to before the rebellion? Most of them were locked up and allowed no contact with the outside, including their own families. Cassandra's a Seeker, and while I love her, she might be a bit biased (and may have heard more of the mages' problems than anyone else because she investigated charges of abuse of mages.)
Edit: I'm not saying templars don't have problems and legitimate grievances, but I feel too much is being built on her single statement without looking at the evidence.

Yes!!!!
Sex with my/your Inquisitor is his detox.

Your partner has to have a magical world-altering anchor on her/his hand for it to work.

Hmm yea you're right. Didnt think about it before ... well, didn't really remembered of those templars in previous DA game

Oh the perverted imagines that enter my mind....
And my Cullenmancing IQ just got the "Would you have guessed such a pairing" banter in the main hall, lol. I wonder why it took so long to trigger, I'm about 20 game hours past the kiss now.
My only interest in the character now is the lyrium addiction, and will his ability to deny his craving actually stick.
On top of that, in all the nearly 1000 years that Templars have existed, why has it taken so long for someone to break the addiction? What did Cullen have that all these others didn't?

Honestly, I think even that is just another way his character has been romanticized. Even so... I highly doubt he's the only one who's ever done it, nor do I think they really even implied it in the game. It's just unusual, given all our past examples. Plus, given that a large number of templars are starting to follow his lead after the game, it didn't strike me that it takes some special formula or super extra (handsome) tolerance. It just sounds like folks never really tried it so much before, whether because of dogmatic brainwashing and/or the fact that it's hard and may depend a lot on the will/physiology of the individual.We don't know how many people may have tried; it may not have been any.

Just imagine in the next game, you stumble into a cave and see Cullen butt naked dancing around a camp fire holding a bottle of booze lace with lyrium and singing poorly thought out music and lyrics he came up with...
"I once wasa a man who was man. I had sex with a girl and she was pretty girl and then, wait...what month <hiccup> day is it..is it pants day."
<Cullen walks over and points at a deep mushroom then yells at it> I see you watching me, yeah you, I see all the colors"
So I'm finally getting the messengers going in/out of Josephine's and Cullen's offices after never seeing them in my prior playthroughs, picked up my game again today after some time off and did WE/WH. I feel a bit daft, but what is the deal with the notes he is getting from the messenger that are unsigned and they are referring to Uldred and Kirkwall? I wish I could remember the lines better - something like "You're free now, Uldred didn't change you." and then there was another one about hanging. Are those from Varric?
I also heard all of the Winter Palace banter I hadn't heard before, the nobles hitting on Cullen and the Dowager talking about her dead husbands. Must be because of the last patch.

I've always gotten messengers in Josephine's, but I have yet to get a single one in Cullen's or with Leliana.
And those notes are from Cole. He's trying to help.

Maybe he's the first high-profile Templar to kick it?

I had gotten Josephine's before occasionally but she's always talking about some visitng nobles. This time she is talking about the gift for Cullen (a shirt I think) which is a first for me.
DUH! I'm so dumb today, seriously.

I've gotten a variety with Josephine, including several about Dorian, and at least that one about Cullen, and one or two about Vivienne I think.
lol, I'm particularly fond of Cole, so I know a lot of his banter, etc.
Sadly I do not have SweetFX applied to my game-complications <shakes fist>.
Anyways...here is Rayna <hugs her>. I'll probably adjust her make-up a little when B.E comes out.
Remember this is on my new rig "The Beast." With every graphic setting on max. Actually happy with out it came out.
Feel free to give honest opinions, I'm not made of glass...LOL!
Not just fangirls.
Fanboys, too.
Fanpeople.

Well we can add that to the list.
And I have the Ren and Stimpy song in stuck my head now-great, its going to be there for days.

In-universe and out, if the little fanclub he gathered in Halamshiral is anything to go by...
Even Varric thinks Cullen is Ser Eyecandy, joking that it's the reason Cass, Josphine and Leliana keep him around!
You are a thief of joy.
Well, I am sustained by your tears.
::hands you a jar::
just let them fall in there please.
Finally finished my first Cullen picture for one of my stories.
Thanks to MelissaGT for some of her pictures of him smirking I used to get the smile right

"Second round I played a lady qunari and chose the templar side and, well, it was nice to see more of Cole and it made a whole lot more sense to accept his help. However… you lose out of Dorian’s intro completely (and I loved that intro) and he ends up getting this super shady introduction instead, and I had so many objections but of course the game handwaved them away.
And come on. You know you would like to hear Dorian’s complaints about the state of your dungeons. "
