Edit: Today is THE day! I hope. Other than those stupid shards for The Fire Captured, I have all recommended quests done for Wicked Eyes and most of what I need for the following quest. Hopefully I'll finish this game today. *crosses fingers* And then promptly start a Cullenmancing rogue! Ha! But I shouldn't get ahead of myself. *ahem*

wooo hoooo!

LOL Yeah, my last playthrough in a nutshell. Now that Fool's Errand is coming to an end (single tear), I'll have time to come back to those stories. :rubs hands in preparation for heartbreak:

 

edit: altho, this one makes me laugh much more... (instead of cry, I suppose! :lol:

We might have to come up with a silly challenge like the romance covers for the dry spell.  :ph34r:

That could be fun. I foresee lots of book covers with desks in the background...

Ha! This is great.

Hello Cullenites. I'm a Solasmancer, but I just happened to be skimming by the thread and saw this.

They should really write more characters combining both their personality traits. I'm a sucker for both types of characters, definitely. ;)

Hey there! Glad you stopped by! I think Cullen and Solas have some complementary traits that if they ever managed to make a perfect balance character between them, fandom's collective nose would never stop bleeding over him. lol! I'm currently romancing Solas and he's definitely intriguing me!

I, myself, have never romanced Solas. Well, not past the first act or so. The pull of The Cullentm is just too strong!  ;)  :wub:

I'm not sure it was worth reporting though. Certainly the fans' helpfulness and caring is! I meant the missing case. If Jonny was missing, it would be but given his denials of everything Jeff said, I'm starting to think this was either a hoax or over-reaction. Jonny might well have gone out camping or something and Jeff claimed the house was found open. He claimed Jonny was manic. He claimed Jonny missed important appointments. But no one else seemed to have the same concern. None of Jonny's closer friends mentioned it. Nor his wife. I found that strange but hadn't paid much attention because I'd been working all night and hadn't gone to bed until almost noon.

The fact that there was a missing persons case number gave it legitimacy but that too might have only been due to Jeff fraudulently opening a case. I feel stupid for not thinking of THAT sooner.

I think we were had by someone who thought it'd be a grand ol' time to stir up the fans and make claims about Jonny's sanity, for whatever reason. Or Jeff was just gravely mistaken. I'll allow for that possibility.

 

 

Unfortunately it appears as if the Inquisitor article went live before Mr. Rees tweeted his statement yesterday. If it had been included in the article the tone would have definitely changed.

 

Whether or not the missing persons claim was legit, a misunderstanding or a cruel prank is up for Mr. Rees, Mr. Rosenthal and the North Hollywood Police Department to review. Just speculating here but if the claim was legit, the case would likely be closed pending concluding information. If the claim was a misunderstanding, the case would likewise be closed (with a stern warning for someone, I'm sure). However, if the claim were a prank, the NHPD won't be quite as forgiving. But again, what happened this weekend and what action -- if any -- is to be taken is between the above-mentioned parties. 

 

What matters is Jonny is home and he is safe. :)

I think a lot of us have romanced and enjoyed both romances. I mostly stay here because it's like a comfortable chair in your favorite room... ;) :P

Same. I'd have played through the Cullen romance if it had been an option but not sure I would've enjoyed it? Definitely the Solas one was more meaningful for me, and I have no doubt Solas would've become the new Fenris for me, and I'd have played the game 10+ times and romanced him every time (as I did with DA2). But it was ever always only 50% about the character and 50% about the people here. And that number has tilted heavily in favor of the people here after DAI came out; even without the romance, I've found Cullen a less compelling character, more vanilla, too easily putting his past issues behind him... I've honestly lost interest in the character at this point. About all he has going for him are his (admittedly) amazing looks. 

 

But I still check this thread every day because I just... like coming here and talking to y'all :P

Hmm, it's interesting to me because I'm the same way, I keep romancing the same character multiple times. I had planned on Cullen actually because I wanted to play as a human, but at the last minute chose elf for my first run, and then Solas became my canon.

I think I nearly broke down when I encountered him with the dog in Tresspasser though. ;)

As for letting go of his past too easily, I think maybe it's just that the player knows more about his past than the Inquisitor, who is meeting him for the first time? I think it would be different if the Warden or Hawke became Inquistitor, and they might have argued or clashed about the past, before making amends.

Anyway my Amell is forever alone, and still out there, somewhere... Here's hoping he gets to tell her what he told my Inquistitor in person someday (if only in headcanon land).

Welcome, and stay a while! Both characters definitely have their charms. You should give Cullen a whirl. Creating a human is a good way to avoid succumbing to a certain elven god's allure. :shakes fist: dammit solas!: ;)

I'm the opposite, even playing an elven female mage, I romance Cullen. I did one Solamance but found the whole romance lacking in intimacy compared to Cullen.

 

I don't think Cullen puts his past behind him so easily, he does manage to find distance to a degree but, that's because he's Commander of the Inquisition and has that rather than his past to focus on and, hes smart enough to realize that dwelling on the past is no good for him or anyone around him, it took the Perseverance crisis to get him to internalize that and put it into practice. I'm sure he has plenty of nightmares and a few flashbacks we don't see on camera. He tells us that sometimes he feels as if he's there again, that's a flashback to me.

So far, I have found the Solas romance lacking in quantity of content, not quality. I dunno how the Cullen romance will go but I've heard there's more to it. *crosses fingers*

much much more. the solas romance is sparse. particularly in act 3.  the cullen romance is plentiful. ^_^ plus it has woo breaks when you're feeling lonely. much better than just hearing "vhenan." sigh.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Solas romance, even though it was probably the wrong choice for my first (and longest in terms of gameplay hours) playthrough. Such huge stretches between romance content, and no kiss option. But I've been through several of the romances now, and Cullen has substantially more, counting all the flirts and extra lines.

 

I had no trouble romancing both of them with a dalish, though I'm really a dwarf fan. Which explains the mod because I personally was extremely disappointed in what was available to my f!dwarves. There're so many problems with the cutscenes in romances supposedly adapted for the f!dwarves that frankly, even sinking into the desk in the Cullen romance as a dwarf is trivial :P My canon f!dwarf romance is Harding, though :wub: :lol:

I'm actually the other way around. I first romanced Cullen because I had been pining for him ever since DAO. Especially after a certain mod came out. So, when DAI launched I immediately made a human and did his romance. I really liked it and found it to be very sweet. But then it was time for my second playthrough and it was Solas' turn. And even though I wished we had more romance specific scenes with him (more is always better), no other fictional character has ever pressed my buttons the way he has. Then Tresspasser came along and I never even looked at my human mage and went to do it with the Elf and just....oh my god, I couldn't even....

Fast forward to today and I've made two consecutive Elven playthroughs after that, romancing Solas again. One of which is complete and the other one I'm stalling because the only scene I have left is Crestwood. *sobs*

 

So yeah, my canon is Solas. Also partly so that in my head, my Amell will someday be together with Cullen again. <3

I had to chuckle when I realized the irony Cullen's 'I'm not BAIT!' comment in DAI at the war table. I too was pining away for Cullen since DAO and DA2, my thought in both was 'Awww, poor baby had a hard day at work, he needs his slippers and hot coacoa.' When my daughter's friend mentioned that Cullen was in DAI AND that he was romancable, well..I just HAD to check it out! So yeah, he was bait to the girls out there who still carried a torch for him.  :D

yeah I think if I had to choose a canon romance for my Inquisitor it would be Cullen as most of my quizzy's are female and I'm planning to go again with him with my Lara Croft mage. When I create her that is. I've no tquite decided on the full background but I know who my main heroes are going to be for that run. A female Dalish elf rogue warden and a female warrior Hawke. So I'm kind of getting a little bit of everything which should be good as I've not played through DAO as a rogue before so will be an interesting challenge
