Okay - so we wanted to get y'alls opinion on two questions:
What do the Cullenites look forward to the most with Cullen's role in DA:I?
And their biggest concern?
1. Pretty much what others have said: character growth. That's one of the things I loved about him in DA2. You could see the scars left from what happened to him in the Ferelden Circle, but we also got to see hints about how he was working through it, and how the experience had changed him.
Aside: I actually got into an argument with Former Flatmate about this when DA2 came out. She hated that he wasn't still "Crazy Cullen" from the Broken Circle quest, whereas I loved the emotional growth, and the way his opinions continued to evolve as the game progressed. Made him a much more well-rounded and interesting character, IMO.
2. Only that being an NPC means his storyline won't have as much depth as a full companion's might. The fact he's been confirmed as a LI makes me breathe a bit easier, as I doubt they'd go that route if his presence in the story was little more than superficial.
And now I have to go start supper. Later, my dears!
