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.

 

... You can stay!

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:

If they are gonna do agents a la Assassins creed then that shouldn't be too bad to handle.. as far as crafting goes tho, I never really did any in previous games... but if its gonna be more prominent this time around... then.. that can be a lil problematic.... :unsure:

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.

 

That would be a nice little addition, although I dunno if they'd do that simply because DAI isn't the last DA game in the series and we have a different protagonist in each game. Still, a masquerade ball and/or a quest where everyone can get involved that isn't constantly "kill ALL the things" would be nice!

On the bright side he/she will have Cullen as an advisor  :D

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

College of Winterhold ;) that's where I found mine after hours of visiting dragon burial sites.

But since I'm in the Cullen thread talking about Skyrim, I feel it's only right for me to stop and say heyy Cullenites.. lovely thread you have here (cheered me up many times when feeling low) (:

Cullen: "Inquisitor, as your advisor, I advise you to do something about that rip in the seat of your pants."

 

Inquisitor: *Turns around in circles trying to see the rip* "... Ah, sh!t."

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

 

 

Our group is made up of various different, but still wonderful, people with different view points and feelings towards different things. Stay true to yourself, but just put forth an effort to be respectful at the same time.

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???

 

Same, it took me over 2 years of on-off gameplay, 550+ hours of exploration and 7 months in-game before I even began the main quest. Most of that was spent doing the thieves guild quests and dragging vast quantities of loot across Skyrim to try and sell so I could finally be able to run again. After 700+ hours I finally installed the bandolier mod, which allows me to carry over 1000lbs of loot, in addition to the stuff I dump with Lydia.

 

I'm now looking for campsite/keep chest mods for Origins and Awakening, since I cannot help myself but want to store all the loot I find, even if I never actually use it or am the wrong class anyway.

 

Yes, most of my characters are kleptomaniacs with a hording problem. :blush:

Argh! So I wake up and my iPad tells me there was a Cullen tweet from the official Dragon Age tweeting thing. So I rush to put the internet on and impatiently wait because to see the picture of DAI Cullen they tweeted alongside it. But as you know, turns out they didn't. Sad kittens. Time to catch up now.

Of course you count. You're here. :)

OMG My Skyrim character ain't head of the thieves guild for nuthin :lol: I've got lockpicking maxed out, and yes, I do go downstairs and steal all the cheese wheels from EVERY house and store I visit. I also have sneaking maxed out. I love sneaking around in a store right under the proprietor's and stealing... well, everything.

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. In general, just getting to know him better in any way possible. Especially as a love interest. 

 

2. His romance will be minor compared to others.

I can't believe they actually asked a Cullen question! Cullen never gets mentioned in anything!

 

 

Maybe he's in the next info drop?  :whistle:

This. Especially number 2. As an NPC romance, this could be a major problem. The ME NPC romances just weren't as long or good, to be frank. So I'm more than a little concerned about this.

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

 

 

DA2 sounded that way.... then it was ok. (in terms of complication)

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.

 

 

I see this as a probable chief complaint once released, and honestly, not all these things aren't super crucial, I'd rather the time spent on these were used elsewhere. That's just my opinion. Could be cool, we'll just have to see.

And their biggest concern?

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know more about Cullen as a character. Admittedly I didn't consider him as an LI until recently. After the announcement I wanted to see the female mage content I had missed (played a mage once in Origins)  and I refreshed my memory of Cullen by watching some DA2 clips of him on youtube as well. I realized I did overlook him because there's great potential there for a good story arch in DAI. Alistair never became a real Templar so we've always lacked that perspective in previous parties. I felt like there should have been someone to speak for the Templar side of things, not just the people who despised or were distrustful of mages (Fenris for example). We were missing the practical opinion of a Templar that had experience.Also Greg's enthusiasm for his role is another reason I can't wait to talk to Cullen. I love it when actors are passionate about their characters, it means they put more heart and soul into them ^_^.

 

 

Biggest concern? Probably how involved the advisors are within the story, hopefully Cullen won't be on the side-lines too much.
