All of the VA’s would be under NDAs so they couldn’t really say what they were working on. I know GE has broken his NDA in the past with regards to voicing Cullen but I imagine he paid for that big time. I know Sumalee Montano has been back in recording stuff from a tweet from Patrick Weekes. 

 

I will take this as a hopeful sign.  :)

LOL Altho, GE flubs up and tells things he's not supposed to ALL the time, even after the infamous NDA breaking. Still, here's hoping.

Yeah I think I couldn't avoid the spoilers about a "wolf" and "Solas" that I see everywhere on fanarts and various names of videos, so my only guess is that Solas

Spoiler

 

Solas is not a character I was attracted to at first, but I think that whatever is revealed at the end of the game might change my opinion about him and I might try his romance one day. But everyone says it's heartbreaking, so...  :o

 

I'm finishing the secondary quests before the final main one, I don't have the patience for all the shards even if I have a lot of them (but some of them are so tricky to get that I think I won't get them all) so I guess that I will finish all the secondary quests except the shards one. There is also one in "L'emprise du Lion" that seems bugged because there is nothing at the indicated place in the quest ("confession in prison" or something). I guess I'm supposed to talk to that guy but he's not in the area at all, and the woman doesn't talk to me: http://soluce.jeuxac...-prison-002.jpg

 

Oh yes it's true that the Skyhold outfit looks like pyjamas  :P I don't hate it, but it would be nice to have more design choices, or at least choices for the colors.

Awww, I lost all my Cullen romance playthrough recordings :(.  I was going to make a video for Cullen.  I guess if I replay his romance I'll definitely get together the recordings to make a video dedicated to him :)

I have an important, serious question to ask here:

 

I need to find that part of this thread where everyone was posting the awful amazing Cullen romance novel covers. they were photoshopped to real romance novel covers and and hilarious ...lovely.

 

 anyone remember what page they are on? i'm getting lost in the backpages and have a mighty need to find them.

Like this you have an excuse to play again his romance  :P but I understand, I would be sad to lose my recordings and saved games as well. I reached the maximum save files limit and so I always fear to delete an important save just before a sweet scene. I tried to write down the name of the saves that are just before cutscenes but my list is not complete. Can't find the one before the first kiss  :(

You say this, R2, and the weirdest thing comes to mind... Wondering if he flubbed his very brief time as a red shirt.

Sorry, was watching the JJ Abrahm's Trek, and I alway get amused at Greg's scenes. Just so odd hearing that voice in the situation he's in.

The cheesy romance novel was the Page 1800 celebration on the old thread. 

http://forum.bioware...ad-20/page-1800

 

I think I've done a few more since then, so if there's anything missing, let me know.

LOL I meant more on twitter, as he has spoken out of turn on a number of occasions regarding Cullen's then-future involvement in DA:I, but I had forgotten he was in Star Trek. ^_^

So this was probably already discussed at some point (or not), but since we know Cullen is going through lyrium withdrawals in DA:I, I was wondering if he was going through them back in the pink cage in Origins as well? I'm not sure anyone knows how long he's been in there before the Warden arrived, but he did take lyrium by then, and with the state the tower was in, I doubt he took his lil blue liquid. unless he had some sort of pouch full of little vials strapped to his belt in case of an emergency????

 

Or was he not fully addicted yet?  :huh:

 

It's for scientific reasons.

 

Okay it's for fanfic purposes..

Yeah, this is a weakness in the canon, since he must've been addicted and yet he easily could've been confined for weeks to months depending on when you do Broken Circle within DA:O's one year time frame.

For Knight-Captains, it only takes a week for withdrawal to begin (according to Evangeline). For someone new to his vows like DAO!Cullen, it may be much less severe. It could even be hypothesized that he might break his addiction during that period by suddenly going cold turkey.

It's unlikely he's walking around with a supply on him, since lyrium is sparingly disbursed, also according to Asunder.

In the past, we've speculated that perhaps the mages, demons or the magic maintained him somehow just at the edge without permanently damaging him. This goes for food and water as well. But it's definitely more heart breaking to think of him being tormented while also suffering from lyrium withdrawal.

So for fanfic, I think you can write whatever sounds sorta plausible.

Marginally on-topic, but sounds like Cullen's DA:I writer Brianne "Kitten Sneeze" Battye has indeed moved to the new IP:

I kinda figured. It's so weird watching that scene. He's only got a couple lines then... but I'm like 'gah!' every time.

Oh and I've managed to stumble over a theme song for Cullen. Now if only I knew how to edit video.

Music video doesn't fit. The song, however...

Alright, R2'sMuse: thank you for the link.

 

This chapter was inspired by romance novel covers for Cullen and Avvar!Cullen: credits here: the link to the chapter is at the bottom:

 

And direct link to the chapter of sort of Avvar!Cullen is at Archive of Our own:

Something got fixed; I got messenger banter in Cullen's office for the first time (in something like 600+ hours of game time, lol!)

 

Edit: I should add it was snarky banter too "Right----and I'm the King of Ferelden"

 

Accidentally got Cullen from a different angle, so I'll use it for top of the page...

Writing Cullen and Meredith conversation, and she ends up asking him if his feelings are clear in the matter.

At that moment my brain cue'd up the Imperial theme. Meredith as the Emperor...twitch.

@ Kalasaurus: nice outfit! :) I wish they made something like this instead of the beige pyjamas :(

 

@ Tishina: I think it's the first banter of the list, because the first one I got was this one too! since then I got 3 or 4. I got the "Yes, and I'm the King of Ferelden" one. I also got one one where "Cassandra put a list in an envelopped and glared", and about "Bull used all the shields in the armory for this?" 

 

I also got the exchange of presents with Josephine where she tries to make him wear something else than an armor, then it seems she sent cookies? "it was just butter and sugar, Ferelden tastes are so simple"  :P

 

I also got the message (from Cole I guess) "they did not hang you there, you can walk away"... that was strange.

This is a reference to the Gallows in DA2. The Kirkwall Circle was built upon an ancient prison where slaves and criminals would be hanged, thus it was called The Gallows. Cole is sort of saying that even though the almost ten years he spent on that Circle had such a huge impact on his life, Cullen isn't tied to that experience forever. He wasn't "hanged" there, as in, he doesn't have to keep tying his future to his past forever, he can still walk away from all that and move on with his life.

 

There's another another ambient banter from Cole to Cullen about Uldred too, that says more or less the same; he doesn't have to keep dwelling on what happened in the Fereldan Circle all those years ago either, it marked him but it doesn't have to destroy him.

I'm pretty sure it's butter toffee. Of course I want to ask why she's sending my commander candy....

I have this sort of tinfoil hat theory that the whole "Cullen likes cookies" thing in-game is a legacy of this very thread here. We know some of the writers have come into the thread at least a few times, and some small details of the romance we see in-game turned out suspiciously like what a lot of people in the thread would often say they wanted... like the infamous sex scene on top of Cullen's desk.
 
So the Cullen and shortbread cookies thing has a whole history in the thread too, and it's not hard to imagine that it's one of those little details that Brienne threw in as a nod/tiny shoutout to the fans that kept Cullen's thread going for years and years, playing a big part in turning this minor side character into such a major player. Who even knows how the Cullen + shortbread cookies stuff got started anymore, but it's one of those things that's too coincidental to be a coincidence, that an ancient little inside joke in Cullen's fandom would end up becoming canon once he got a bit more personal writing. ;)

It started because the writers of followers apparently always (or at least for DAO and DAI, not sure I've ever seen them for DA2) decide what their characters would be if they were food, and at least for DAI they teased people waiting for the release of follower names, pictures, etc. by naming 12* foods but (mostly) not saying who was what. Shortbread was one of them, and as far as I know this page was the first time it came up in connection to Cullen.** BioFan later ran with it by using it in photomanips to welcome people to the thread.

 

I think dialogue probably would have been finalized by then, but it's a small enough line that I guess it could have happened as a last-minute edit. I wouldn't bet on it myself, but that's partially because I like the idea of Josie's gift being butter toffee better. The lack of flour has always bothered me if she's talking about shortbread.

 

I've been itching to ask Brianne on twitter if that really was him. We didn't want to do it at the time because people were asking about the foods too much / reading too much into the ones they did discuss, and writers were getting annoyed. (In retrospect, I bet the meatballs or wax fruit were Blackwall, and no one would have wanted to know that early.) Still seems like the best one to me, though the strawberry parfait has potential too. (Actually, in retrospect... that or the bananas foster has to have been Josie. Doubling down on the shortbread guess.)

 

* Or something in that neighborhood, anyway; it was 10 at first, and I think it ended up 12+ eventually. But it might have been just companions; I think I remember Patrick saying IB was both the rump roast and the chili dog.

** In connection to Cullen and the Writers' Pit Food Meme, anyway. There's at least one older fanfic where he likes it.

 

Sorry for all the edits! I keep remembering things and coming back to this while my code is compiling.

Riverbanks,

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Less work fleshing the character out :).

Now if certain names from here start showing up in his past...
