In fact before starting the game, I wondered who I would romance. I played DA O and DA2 a very long time ago (and not as a mage) so I didn't remember Cullen so well (and he didn't look THAT handsome at that time).
So I quickly checked on youtube (trying to watch just a few seconds, I didn't want to spoil the whole thing) some romance scenes of Iron Bull, Blackwall... Iron Bull seemed funny but not really my type (maybe I'll do it for fun one day. I always wanted a Qunari that could be romance-able but well) I always had a hard time liking romances where the guy is always having sex with other partners than you/talking about other lovers (like Zevran or Iron Bull).
Blackwall seemed to me a bit too weeping... and he rejects you in some scenes...
And I thought "I hope Cullen is not the "clone" of Alistair, you know, with the same temper, etc... The fearful type of guy who doesn't want to take responsabilities (I really liked Alistair, but well).
And THEN I fell upon that youtube video of the first kiss. OMG. THAT KISS. With the messenger interrupting, and then he kisses you passionately. I was conquered
I knew I wanted HIM and I was right to choose him. He is so cute and romantic and loving. And he has some temper, takes responsabilities...
How can he always say or do the right thing, the right way, at the right time? he's perfect
I loved the part in "Wicked hearts" where he is harassed by all his admirers and keeps saying "no, thank you" every time someone wants to invite him
I kept running along that corridor to hear new discussions, but I'm sure I missed some, is there a website where they are all written?
