That he will only be available as a LI to female inquisitors :( My heart will break if this is so, and I probably won't ever romance him. I will probably leave this thread, too; it will just be too painful.

 

He's been confirmed female only?

 

EDIT: NVM. Just saw the, "if this is so..."  :blush:

In terms of plot or gameplay?

 

Gameplay, with all these Keeps to capture, agents to send out, rebuilding stuff, knocking stuff down, trying to beat really difficult "levels" and areas, crafting ALL the things, fixing and cleaning holes and armour when your outfit gets ruined, stuff like that.

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!

Soo.. does this mean the whole "raunchy" theme is off the table now cause everyone feels uncomfortable then?

Is it just me, or does DAI sound like it's going to be very complex and complicated?

 

It does, I'm really excited about it though. It seems like it will lead to more variety in the gameplay. I'm sure my first playthrough will be an unmitigated disaster though.

It only sounds a little complex (in my own mind) because we aren't able to physically see it to judge it for ourselves. I think you are worried needlessly though. It'll all be fine.

My character is so ridiculously powerful at this point, he just looks around and is like, a dragon? That's it? Is that supposed to scare me...?

 

 

I have one stupid achievement left and I can't find a damn legendary dragon!  <_<

I have a little niggling concern at present, that this game will be a bit too much like Skyrim... with Skyrim, I spent around 100 hours exploring and never even continued the main quest LOL I am actually on like step 2 of the main quest at present, but by now, I sort of don't care about the quest anymore. I've visited every city, every cave, I'm married, I own about five houses, I'm head of the thieves' guild... main quest, what's that???

 

I did the main quest up to the point were the dragonborn kills her first dragon and gets the title. After that i has "ohhh she totally should be the leader of the companions (done) and the archmage (done) and she should at least visit the other cities (done) and it would be rude not to help their citizens (done) and after all this work she deserves a marriage ceremony and a few houses... Dragons? War? What are you talking about?  :D  :D

Also, I noticed that the name of the following art is "The Bog"...and we did see that one of the places we will visit is the "Nahashim Marshes" in the north of Orlais.

Also, why is the sword glowing? Knight Enchanter?

I have mix fealings about this... With bioware games i always have a bit of completionist syndrome :P , so this actually scares me a bit, i mean how much time will it take for me to end the game?  :blink: And how many playthroughts will i have to make?

In the other hand i`m really excited, i can`t even imagine the number of the choices we may have and maybe we can experience really diferent playthroughs!  :D

 

(sorry if my post sounds confuse :unsure:)

Same here, I've got all the achievements on my Xbox 360 version of DA2 and technically I have all but one on my Xbox 360 version of DA:O, but some are glitched and won't pop... which drives me insane, just thinking about it!  :lol:

 

DAI should tide me over for years!

And since we have a post game, we all have the potential for DLC and expansions...

No, I don't think it will be too complicated. Nobody buys really complicated games these days. What I hear and read looks like Dragon Age: Awakening, but with bigger maps and less elf root. I think they'll give us tutorials and hints, and we will figure out how everything works.

While playing DA2, I noticed on the info-bars which confirm a quest or...something...that concept art is behind the text.

I wonder if we will actually get an expansion like we got for DA:O and almost got for DA2? I mean, the game is pretty huge as it is already!

That's a good point! I mean, I doubt they've gone down the Darksouls route!

II'm not sure I really count as a Cullenite but here goes:

1. I want to see how he's changed. The man was driven mad by magic and manages to scrape together enough empathy to try to do exactly what he suggested the Warden not do--show mercy. He's a character who stands at a tipping point, a knight in tarnished armor. Will he be bitter about his time in Kirkwall? What kind of man will he be now that he's having to define himself as something other than a templar? (Whether he's left the order or not, he's going to have to talk about more than mages). I have a weakness for "knightly" characters especially if it's a real struggle for them to uphold that ideal. Cullen could have been the madman of DAO's epilogue or followed Meredith down the rabbit hole. He chooses to be a good templar, even if it takes him a while.

2. I don't want him used as a stick to beat one side or the other in the mage-templar debate. This is a complex issue and I'd hate to see it reduced to Cullen flagellating himself about ever being a templar. Or regressing to a "kill 'em all" attitude.

I'm fairly sanguine about romance. I romanced Samantha and Sebastian. It's the illusion that the PC and LI have a connection that matters, not the amount of content per se.

It's not the combat I'm worried about, it's all the strategic sending out agents and crafting stuff that baffles me. My poor Inquisitor is gonna be running around with her arse hanging out of her trousers, failing miserably at every turning!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'd be very into a Citadel-esque DLC for Inquisition, where a lion's share of the content is just hanging out with your buds, going on romantic rendezvous with your chosen LI, watching your companion-friends interact and banter, helping fund and spruce up a Keep for a grand ball/masquerade social event maybe, and just generally socializing with your crew.
