lol! Well, Burnet's my old stomping ground from when I lived there, but I moved away before DAO came out so I never really paid attention to the fact there was a Cullen Ave. The street name I remember noticing is Aggie Lane, which is a hilarious street name to see in Austin...
*spits drink*
Are you sure it's still there? Or not defiled in some way? lol.
Maybe
Also, found this online and had to come post it on here, I'm dying! XD
I never put 2 & 2 together with the main character being in Calpernia's short story?! Cool 
I suppose they won't address anything much to do with her specifically after the conclave incase she's dead/alive etc although I wonder if he'll be aware of her involvement with the Venatori

I thought you'd see the humor in that. Yep, Aggie Lane still shows up in Google Map, though it's been 5 or 6 years since I last drove through that neighborhood. I used to live a few blocks from there, and I always found it entertaining. It's almost at 183, though, so I assume it got that name before Austin crept out that far.
You didn't talk to Rylen in the Western Approach???
Oh I did, but it never clicked I guess ... I don't know why, heh
So, I noticed today that there is a wartable mission for Varric (The Search for the Hack Writer) where Cullen says he has a friend in the guard and if you choose him the report is from Brennan who we know from DA2.
According to the wiki Brennan is a "close friend" of Cullen.
Cullen just says in this mission that he has a friend not a close friend in the guard. Have you encountered more missions or dialog where Brennan is mentioned?
I would expect only Kirkwall missions to be related to Brennan as she is in the Kirwall guard. So far I couldn't find other missions with her in the wiki.
And if you don't know it already I wanted to make you aware of this blog, which features Cullen of course but also some other very special characters

A quick search through the talk tables only shows that single mention of her by name, and nothing besides that mission that immediately seems to be about her in the results for "city guard" or "Kirkwall guard". She does address the note to him by first name, but that doesn't mean "close" friend either, even for Cullen. Since the wiki is fan-run, exaggerations and not-quite-true things show up there all the time. *shrug*
Actually I was quite sure that I didn't manage to find Barris during attack of Haven if I side with Mages. The lieutenant was Denam (if side with Templar' it's Fiona). So the only way to ensure Barris death is actually by siding with templars & let the great hall health level down?
Yeah. Which sort of makes it even more of a bummer that he can die. You were so close to making him plausibly alive regardless of player choice, writers!

True, I was just wondering if I might have missed something. Using his first name doesn't mean much besides being informal (because she did not use his title) but as he is always introduced as title + Cullen (so with his first name instead of last name) it is not surprising people call him that.
I was a little surprised to see that he has friends in the guard, I always thought his friends in Kirwall are templars, but of course, he did had interactions with other people (like Hawke). It would have been nice if a friendship with Hawke would have been recognized in DAI.

I assume that if you side with the mages, Barris dies the same way Alexius does if you side with the templars, as in off screen, but instead of venatori he's killed by the red templars. I don't know though, I was just going by what everyone else seems to say about him.
Would it be totally obnoxious to post a drawing I just finished? It's the second piece of digital art I've ever done and the first of Cullen. I'm pretty happy with it, all things considered.
Okay, I posted it, obnoxious or not 
Oh, and that's my Trevelyan.

Not obnoxious at all!! Thanks for sharing!

I'm pretty certain there's nothing about this in DA2, so if that's all there is in DA:I (this is the first I've heard of it!), then someone needs to change the wiki.

Aaa I love the composition ^^, they are making that heart shaped 
Your quizzy's pretty, what's her name?
(nah don't worry about being obnoxius or not, I've been literally throwing all my bad Cullen drawings here since months ago and everyone is still alive, no one's dead yet 
)

Thank you so much!!! And thank you R2 aswell 
Her name is Maerwynne. It was supposed to be Marwen but I didn't write it down and forgot what the name was exactly and how to pronounce it. I like Maerwynne better now anyway Thank you so much for asking, I could talk forever about her! And your drawings aren't bad, do you know how much talent it took to draw your cullen/dragonborn crossover? A lot!!
Thank you so much!!! And thank you R2 aswell
I love her freckles XD
Marwen sounds a bit breton, reminds me a bit of Morwen.
Thanks about the dragonborn one, actually the secret formula is this:
I like to think Cullen, Barris and Rylen are the templar trinity of bros. In my head, they all get together once every few months (after inquisition) and have a boys night in (Cullen practices keeping his clothes for when he plays cards against Josie)
I didn't even think about Barris being dead if you side with the mages. I'm glad that templars are close to my inquisitor's heart 'cause that means he always gets to live
This is canon. I'm absolutely certain that it's canon.
Also, it is canon that Barris never dies. EVER.
^ though, okay, on that note, did anyone else find that DAI sort of plays like 2 games in 1? 3, really. there's:
Plotline RPG - all the major quests
Skyrim RPG - wander around in a massive map and kill things
Sims - Haven/Skyhold time
and then there's the wartable, which was like an app game or something. push button, check in later and laugh at the terror that i let someone (usually cullen) unleash on thedas.
some of cullen's responses to wartable missions are epic badass. some of them are hilariously bad ideas. like, you just made SUCH a mess of that, but i'm laughing too hard to want to go back and make it right (<< mainly thinking his approach to the trevelyan family quest)
Public Service Announcement - MP Update to the game today has still managed to break the mod manager from what I've seen reported on Tumblr. Be sure to play in off-line mode for now!

Yep, it breaks mod manager and mods. But you can at least play with the mods if you increase the version in the patch mod folder in the mft file. Many thanks to tklivory for this solution.
But the mod manager needs a new fix.
I really wish Bioware would be a little more carefull with their changes - this was not even a SP patch but MP and still it broke the mod manager.
So, I haven't been on here in forever, but I got a Surface Pro and got Corel Paint Essentials 5 and started doing some art projects and of course Cullen and Alistair was my firsts 
So here is Cullen:
I used for reference one of MelissaGT's amazing photo's too
OMG I am so dying here.....this totally made my day!

WAOOUUUHHH!
Do you have to be chaste to romance Cullen, or can I ride the bull once and then... ?
I want my new Inq to have a bit of a wild side, hence the bull riding.

Someone can correct me, but I think you can have a fling with Bull without it becoming a romance, but I don't know what the triggers are to avoid. I know you can break up with Solas at the last minute and still start a romance with Cullen.

Yeah, when you do the deed with bull you still have to speak to him afterward to start the romance. Or speak to him after to tell him it's not going to happen again.

OH, that's stunning!
Guess that as long as you don't "lock in" with Bull it'll be fine
Retour en haut
