About that sex scene.
This easily is my favorite part, it's just so sweet. I even let it linger a few seconds before picking the next dialogue option.
*snip*That, and how he knocks everything off the table, including more lyrium flasks.
Curly has come a long way in becoming more assertive.
I just love face touching Cullen 
I love that too, as well as his neck rub thing. When characters have unique - or mostly unique - animations it makes them seem much more real.
I'm currently watching Labyrinth for the first time. David Bowie makes one strangely attractive goblin king
wouldn't mind seeing someone like his character in a future DA game.
Isn't it crazy? I mean, I'm not attracted to David Bowie at all but him as Jareth? It just works.
"Well, I suppose if you want a jackboot you get a big one so you can grow into it."
What's that supposed to mean?
It's an analogy to like, when you buy bigger shoes than your actual number so you can grow into them. Sera tends to view Cullen as a simple and stern soldier type, so she's saying something like, if you want your Inquisition to be militaristic and pragmatic, better get yourself the biggest soldier type you can find (a Templar with command experience) so your Inquisition will have room to grow into this more militaristic approach under his command.
It's kinda ironic, in retrospect, considering all of her war table missions get best results from Cullen's suggestions. For all that she teases him about being uptight, Cullen is the person most similar to her in your inner circle, both preferring to take the direct and often more strong-handed approach over the diplomatic beeswaxing or espionage games, to help the little guy rather than those already in power. They have a lot more in common than either of them would like to admit.

David Bowie as Jareth = *schwing!* 
I don't know why, but I like it.

A bit of speculation due to a verse from the chant I found (working on a quote for Cullen...)
So, the chantry teaches that the spirits of the Fade were the Maker's first children, and they fall to become demons from jealousy of the living, his second children.
There's a dissonant verse (which, since the Shartan text is also considered dissonant suggests it was struck from the Chant later as inconvenient) that says:
"The Old Gods will call to you,
From their ancient prisons they will sing.
Dragons with wicked eyes and wicked hearts,
On blacken'd wings does deceit take flight,
The first of My children, lost to night."
---Silence 3:6
I first noticed the "wicked eyes and wicked hearts," but then realized what the last line says. First, the verse claims the Old Gods as the Maker's children. And depending on how you read it, his first children. Obviously, the Chantry would not want anyone to consider the Old Gods as children of the Maker for so many reasons. But is this "first" mean they were the Maker's first children, or was there someone between the fade spirits and the living who turned on the Maker before the Fade spirits started becoming demons...or when the Veil was created, they were powerful spirits left on this side of the Veil but related to the Fade spirits?
So many questions
I have always taken it to mean that the old gods were indeed amongst the makers first children, the spirits and demons who are now locked in the fade. no one really knows the true nature of the spirits. There is some speculation that for all we know the Elven gods were even amongst the first denizens of the fade. Yavana talks about a time before the veil when dragons ruled, also suggesting that some of these older more powerful dragons, like perhaps even the old gods, were all part of the same group.A bit of speculation due to a verse from the chant I found (working on a quote for Cullen...)

Oh, cool! I haven't read the supplementary books and comics, so I wasn't aware she'd said that. Interesting. Though looking at some of the other verses in the chant, there are pretty strong implications that the Old Gods were particularly powerful "demons." implying...
Huh. No I don't recall Kieran saying that. Interesting. I wonder if I just missed it in my haste to see if Morrigan talked to Alistair (sob!).Oh, cool!

Maybe he created the Veil. It's such a simple explanation, it seems a little obvious now.

Funny, reading back over my post... It occurs to me for the first time that perhaps Fen'Harel just locked the elven gods into the Fade, and not some special prison somewhere.
I think it depends on what you say to him. If you choose "I am indeed an elf," he says "no, your blood is very old, I saw it right away." If you choose the line about the ears giving you away, you get the response that he doesn't understand why you choose to look like that. Now, I got that response on a PT where his father who helped raise him is Dalish too, so it's possibly related to that because it's an odd answer for someone with a Dalish parent. I have a save from just before that conversation, I believe, but I have it in a folder, not actively in the game, so I can't check for the exact details.

Doesn't he have similar dialogue implying that a dorfquisitor chose to be short, though?
EDIT: My talk tables are all out of order, but I think it's this; I was remembering wrong who was implying intent.
K: You're very short. Mother didn't say you were a dwarf.
There's an assumption from some of IB-s dialogue that they have dragon blood. Which potentially gets into the reaver/Calenhad dragon issue too. Which if dragons are part of the first children gets into all sorts of new issues, lolDoesn't he have similar dialogue implying that a dorfquisitor chose to be short, though?

K: You're very short. Mother didn't say you were a dwarf.
I: You caught me. And I was trying so hard to be taller.
K: But you can't be taller. Not without the titans.
And a similar thing for Qunari with their blood not belonging to them or whatever.
So...
Finally got time to get back to my game and of course romancing Cullen.
Any news on a fix for MODs to work with the latest patch and/or DLC?
Speaking of verses from the chant and Cullen...

So I'm replaying KOTOR 2 (as you do) and who's voice pops up? Oh, Mr. Ellis's. How did I not notice this before? 
Me: Wow, you sound an awful lot like Cullen.
*listens intently*
Me: Wait...
*consults IMDB*
Me: Holy crap you ARE Cullen!

He shows up in a lot of games especially once you know his voice.

I'm usually really good at noticing voices right-off though. I can spot Blum, Emery, et. al. a mile away in whatever I hear them in. This one slipped past me!

They work with patch 6 now for the most part, they've released an updated version of the mod manager but it’s still in beta so it may be a bit buggy. However you may want to hold fire on doing anything related to mods as it seems like the next patch may be coming within the next week or so.
I know the modders are currently trying to figure out a way for mods to be seen in game like DLC so that in future patches won’t interfere but it’s slow progress.

Thanks!
I suppose I'll hold off playing until B.E. is released - at least I can change my character's eyebrows to something more tolerable til the MOD Manager gets fixed.
All this: put file here, remove this file, place this file to get MODs to function has gotten tiresome.
Have not played for a few weeks do to moving to another state, so I can hold off a bit longer to get my Cullen fix. I'll just keep playing PoE.

Awww Disciple bless him. You want to play Kingdoms of Amalur, I swear he voiced the whole game (or near enough). I basically ran through one town, Oooo Cullen, Oooo Cullen, hey Cullen, 
Cullen, to everyone I spoke to lol.
