Or even both? I wish my Awakenings flags weren't bugged... I only got Nate's quest once and now I can never remember it!
He doesn't say much. He's just like... we've got business here, move along, Hawke! lol
(And also, if you bring Anders...) Oh hey, Anders! ... Hey Nate! 
... (Me: 
)
I do hope that what happened with Corypheus comes back around to bite us in the ass. I'm still facinated/worried about why we were attacking Grey Wardens. Hmm...
That's what makes me think Corypheus is behind that particular faction going mental. Perhaps he's the reason why both The Warden (if alive) and Hawke have disappeared, since both of them are kinda central to Corypheus' potential plans and the high possibility of either or both of them putting a stop to it would mean that he'd need to get them out of the way somehow.
Whatever is up with the Wardens, we know that Alistair hasn't joined them in the madness, which is a huge relief for me! I just hope Nathaniel, Carver, Oghren, Sigrun, Velanna and Stroud are safe.

LOL "This is Grey Warden business, stranger!" ahem.

Why are Hawke and the Warden central to his plans?? Have I forgotten what they are...? Hmm... 
I thought Corypheus was just trying to escape his jail. Did he have another plan? 
(more Golden City storming? or... gosh... guess I need to replay Legacy...)
Do you think Hawke`s choice between Larius and Janeka will have any influence? I mean Janeka is a mage while Larius is a warrior, could Corypheus be more powerful if he possess Janeka for instance? Or could the wardens have more trust in one of them?
Didn't DG said that there was supposed to be an Exalted March, presumably on Kirkwall, as a DLC for DAII, but instead they made it a part of DAI story?
I wonder if that's how we will recruit Cullen. Hm, or maybe not. More and more it seems like Cass has already recruited advisors herself.
Yeah, it was also alluded to in the Exiled Prince DLC where Leliana shows up and admits that the Divine was planning one against Kirkwall, fearing that the city was already far too gone even before everything hit the fan.
And I've been wondering that myself. Cass, Leliana and Varric were all last seen in Kirkwall and I can imagine that Cullen would have still been there to try and help the Templars keep order. I can imagine that Cass probably interviewed him at some point given his frequent meetings with Hawke, particularly if he stood up for Hawke during the endgame against Meredith. Hopefully she conducted it after Varric, otherwise we might find out that Cullen has become one of the Unsullied if she tried that same book and groin-stab on him as well.
Varric, Leliana, Cass and Cullen all joining up together in Kirkwall would make the most sense from a story standpoint.

Well, Hawke accidentally let him out, right? But Hawke put up a good fight and knows enough about Corypheus to stand a high chance of putting a stop to his plans. So why not get Hawke out of the way to ensure that he/she can't cause any trouble for him. Our Warden is the hero of Ferelden, she/he stopped the fifth blight AND is prolific within the Grey Warden faction, she/he stopped a blight in under a year and, like Hawke, is very skilled and could easily pose a threat to Corypheus' plans. So why not get her/him out of the way too, thus ensuring that whatever he's got planned, the two big heroes that could feasibly stop him are now MIA.
As Cassandra said, both Hawke and the Warden have disappeared. They have no one else strong enough that commands enough respect and power to put a stop to all the trouble going on throughout Thedas, of course Corypheus (if he's the one orchestrating things on the big bad's behalf) or the "Big Bad" him/her/itself would want the pair of them out the way. It's like Cameron Lee said in that leaked IGN article, the "Big Bad" doesn't start seeing the Inquisitor as a threat until she/he starts to command enough power to feasibly put a stop to the madness.
Sigh. Oh Nate. I'd like to show him my primeval thaig, if ya know what I mean
*Spits coffee all over the monitor*
I'm starting to think that the Fade is more of a cosmic prison of sorts, and breaching the Veil is what starts to "break the locks".

Indeed. And as Cameron said, once the Big Bad figures out what we are up to, they come to our home base and utterly kick our asses.
I've been basing it of Battlefield 4's specs for the moment, until the realise DAI's.
I've been just assuming that my pc won't handle, but if they're going to be similar to those specs, I won't be able to ultimate graphics the thing (so may still get PS4 version instead because it's so gorgeous), but to know that I might be able to...This pleases me.

I'm not so sure she did, or at least certainly not before she spoke to Varric. Cass had no clue what really happened in Kirkwall before she learned about it from Varric. If she had spoken to Cullen, he either didn't tell her anything or lied. Both hard to imagine given the fact that she outranks him.
I wonder if they'd let the next game pick up right where the old one left off. You'd think the Veil rippy things would have already happened before she has to get the band back together. But who knows.
He wasn't in aimo's drawing
*Cullen is wearing a shower cap and playing with a rubber duck in a tub*
Cullen: C-U-LL-E-N he's a sexy gentleman! Cullen, Cullen! Yeeeeeeeah Cullen!
*faucet drip*
Cullen:...It's not the same
I did the thing
I also drew something else for you lovely people
I think, even if he was just a Chantry orphan who had no memory of his parents, would good enough. We could headcanon in the rest, lol!
My headcanon was that somebody just left a baby in the Chantry, and that baby was Cullen. 
And then Cullen sometimes speculated, could it be that his mother was a mage, and maybe that's why she had to give him away? At some point he even wondered if he had some magic in him, but turned out he didn't. And maybe he was even a bit disappointed.
Funny how young Cullen doesn't hate magic. Alistair doesn't hate magic, he's fascinated by it. I guess Chantry doesn't always succeed in brainwashing I wonder if Cullen still retains some of that curiosity about magic, if he had any, of course
This made me laugh WAY too hard. Bwahaha! Ditto!Sigh. Oh Nate. I'd like to show him my primeval thaig, if ya know what I mean

I think I see what you mean. Not central to his plans, but potentially the key folk who could stop his plans, whatever they may be.
I do hope we learn why they've disappeared. I honestly still can't come up with a plausible idea for that.
Or even both? I wish my Awakenings flags weren't bugged... I only got Nate's quest once and now I can never remember it!
If both were true...damn. This big bad has planned for everything...and I am unsure if anyone else has noticed how events have been manipulated over the past several centuries. Weird things occurring and strange events that defy explanation. And Flemeth has also done her own share of controlling things, both saving Hawke and the Warden, as well as the Theirin bloodline.

OMG, this Inquisitor was raised by Oghren! Hilarious!
Indeed. And as Cameron said, once the Big Bad figures out what we are up to, they come to our home base and utterly kick our asses.
When I read that part of the article I had a flash back to Tomb Raider 2 when Lara is chilling out in her mansion one evening when the bad guys break into her house and start attacking her, and she's literally running around in her skimpy dressing gown killing her would-be attackers!
I kinda have two ideas in my head for how I'd like that attack on our home-base to play out:
The first being that there's a cutscene of our Inquisitor tucked up in bed with his/her LI (maybe after a masquerade ball or something) and then suddenly all hell breaks loose and we have to try and get to our armour and weapons cache by fighting are way through the halls in just our nightwear/undergarments.
The second is that the attack happens whilst we're out in the field somewhere. The big bad misjudges when we'd be home and goes ahead with the attack, suddenly some badly beaten out of breath soldier runs up to us whilst we're out in the world and gives us word of the attack and we have to literally hot foot it back there under a timer to save our home base and the companions/characters/npcs that are still there. Once we arrive we have to battle our way through and find all the companions/important NPCs like Cullen, Leliana, scribe girl etc and save them/make sure they're safe. Depending on how long we took to arrive at our base depends on how damaged it is and how many non-important npcs died.
I could see Corypheus wanting to possess the Warden because of their prestige as Hero of the Ferelden, curiosity at how they alone survived the death of the Archdemon which has proven fatal to every Grey Warden before them, and because the threat they'd be if they ever found out about his plans.
His reasons for wanting to eliminate Hawke likely extends to being aware of their tenacity and being a strong fighter, who managed to best the Arishok, keep pace with a Red-Lyrium enhanced Meredith and even take down a powerful Tevinter Magister like himself. While I suspect that Corypheus was still weak from his slumber, it's not hard to to imagine he didn't take too kindly to having been bested in an all-out magic duel by a Mage Hawke, who probably knows only a fraction of the magic that he does.
Anyone who sacrificed half the slaves in an Empire to provide enough power to break through reality and attempt a home invasion of a freaking God isn't going to lack an ego, which is definitely going to get bruised after getting killed by a relative "pleb" like Hawke.
I'm not so sure she did, or at least certainly not before she spoke to Varric. Cass had no clue what really happened in Kirkwall before she learned about it from Varric. If she had spoken to Cullen, he either didn't tell her anything or lied. Both hard to imagine given the fact that she outranks him.
I wonder if they'd let the next game pick up right where the old one left off. You'd think the Veil rippy things would have already happened before she has to get the band back together. But who knows.
By the time Cass came to Kirkwall to interrogate Varric, Cullen may have left Kirkwall ages ago for whatever reason. I'll be interested to find out, either way!
Well, Hawke accidentally let him out, right? But Hawke put up a good fight and knows enough about Corypheus to stand a high chance of putting a stop to his plans. So why not get Hawke out of the way to ensure that he/she can't cause any trouble for him.

What I find most disturbing is that Cass says this even when you import a US warden. So does this mean Hawke is also dead?? If this is the case, then it would be a non-issue.
