I've been thinking a bit.

As Cullen is now a confirmed LI in the game, are you going to be romancing him on your first playthrough? I remember playing DAO for the first time as an elf and discovering just before the landsmeet that making Alistair the king without having hardened him would make him break up with you. Took me completely by surprise as I had not been spoiled on it until then. Such plot twist are great but have a way of messing with your plans Are you going to try and avoid any possible twists with the Cullen romance by playing the game once before romancing him to see what his role is?

I personally am a little on the fence about it. On one hand I like to plan how I'm going to play a game but on the other I loved the twist on the Alistair romance as well as the whole Dark Ritual thing with Morrigan so I would hate to miss out on the surprise!

 

I dunno! I kind of think I might just go with the flow and see what happens the first time around, then nail down the Cullen romance the second time through.

Morning folks!  Just updated the list with everyone that PM'd me, if I missed you as always just let me know! I also very much agree on the charity idea if GE doesn't accept or Bioware ends up sending him the game.

 

I don't want to join the crowd for the games but IF you would do something else such as a donation for a charity project I would be happy to support the cause. So, write my name down for charity.

I appreciate people like you who can RP the tragedies.  I have this problem with getting too involved and Im all happy happy joy joy!  So it's kind of hard for me to get into the tragic, but I love seeing what happens with every little nuance, so I watch things like that on YT.  Rivalmancing Anders was hard enough for me, I just can't imagine being mean to Fenris with his puppy eyes lol.

Thanks .

Sounds like my history, but I have probably close to 30 Hawkes and 20 playthroughs (2 Isabela, 2 Merrill, 1 Sebastian rivalry, 1 Fenris rivalry, 1 Anders rivalry and all the rest Anders friendship).
 
The only DAO playthroughs I've finished have been f!Cousland (1 queen, 1 remained a Warden), f!Amell (became Alistair's mistress), m!Amell (Zev's plaything), and a whole lot of games where I've completed up to Lothering, which I pretty much despise.

I finished more DAO playthrough, but a lot of the unfinished ones stopped at Lothering as well.

Since I've been looking forward to Cullen for *years*, I will probably try and hit that in my first playthrough lol.  I will definitely try not to have anything spoiled in my first playthrough, so itll be a media blackout starting in September; Here's hoping I can get the Cullen

Was your story secretly written by George R.R. Martin?

 

George R.R. Martin would look at all the tragic and senseless deaths in a Fail!Shep and Fail!Warden playthrough and laugh diabolically, since they had it easy compared to what he'd do to them if they were his characters...

 

_{(If Bioware games were written by GRRM, everyone save Garrus, Tali and Jack would have died on the Suicide Mission in ME2, Shepard would have stayed dead for most of the game and only appear at the end, having been turned into a Cerberus husk, setting him up as the main antagonist for ME3).}

This. I'm seriously liking how our crew is shaping up (hell, I honestly don't know who I'd go for first at this point), so I think I'll just go with it in my first playthrough and whatever happens, happens

I always tell myself I'll leave before the spoilers start to float about yet I end up being lured back into the forums by my own curiosity anyway But I applaud those with the willpower to resist!

To be fair, Elder King's Shep story was a pretty dull affair, by Dothraki standards.

IDK. I went into DAO completely unspoiled. My first playthrough was f!Cousland, and she never hardened Alistair, and believed him when he said that he didn't want to be king. She made Anora queen and remained in the Wardens with Alistair. Then I heard that it was possible to become queen if you were in a romance with Alistair (I never said my information was 100% accurate), so I made another Cousland, and became queen, but she never hardened him, so he wasn't very happy about it. By this point, I was getting sick of rolling warriors, so I decideed to try again with a mage. I had no idea how all that worked, and I thought it would be really ironic for Ferelden to have a mage queen, so my next playthrough, she hardened Alistair... and he tried to dump her. Well, she wasn't having any of that, so she talked im into letting her stay on as his mistress. Hey, she's a mage. She didn't give a rat's patootie what the chantry (or anybody else) had to say about the sanctity of marriage. If whoever Alistair was eventually pressured into marrying didn't like it, tough.

 

When DA2 came out, I spoiled myself rotten. It was a much more satisfying experience.

 

So yeah, I'm going to spoil myself for Inquisition.

[jtav]

I hope to be thoroughly spoiled before first playthrough. Will Cullen be first? I don't know. Cass is causing a mild version of the fangirl squee I had when I first met Miranda. Dorian's description sounds awesome. It'll probably come down to which PC voice I like best and which romances are available for what gender.

It's not willpower... I blame lack of time  Normally I can only do games/forums/FB after the kids go to bed, because we do that whole home school thing, so I'm inevitably out and about or reading with them, and what not.  Today!  Today they are all sick, and I have no idea what to do with all this time lol.  I'm all oh... You guys want to eat ... "Noooooooo"... oh... I already cleaned... I just... I know!  Ill go be a Cullenite for the morning!

I'm fairly certain that once the game hits, most people - at least at first - will steer clear from the forums (I know I will). I've always liked the feeling of starting into a new game with zero knowledge of what will happen or what can happen; there's nothing like being taken by surprise by a game; especially if it's potent enough to hit you on an emotional level (I'm looking at you, TellTale).

[Twilight_Princess]

Providing Cullen (and the rest of the LIs) can be interacted with in different ways, I hope there's a way to be awkward  I'm planning on a qunari warrior falling in love with him  but having little experience when it comes to flirtation. Yes, even more hopeless than Aveline. I hope activating a romance isn't just one line, I hope there are several ways to do so . Shy (sweet), very forward, flustered (awkdorkable) etc.

Oh, I'm definitely making a beeline for Cullen in my first run.  I don't mind spoilers (love 'em, really), and I always buy a guide for these kinds of games, so I'll probably thumb through that before I play DAI.

Very true! Happened to me with DAO (in a positive way) and in ME3 (in a very negative way). When ME3 leaked before launch I spoiled myself really bad (although completely voluntarily). Luckily not everything about the spoilers was accurate so there were some surprises left but it did deflate the experience for me.

Exactly what I'm thinking. I went into my first playthroughs on DAO, DA2, and ME1 without knowing anything at all, and falling into romances that I loved just instinctively. I kind of cherish that experience and can't wait to do it again.

Aren't new games fun? It's hard for us to put down the step-by-step guides and accept the fact that we get to blindly wander into another possibly tragic story. Makes me a little anxious, but also excited.

[MacyNell]

Good morning everyone  I'm Jenn, and I've been a lurker on the BSN since March 2013 (ME3).  I've been a Bioware fangirl for much longer than that, but up until March I didn't have any games on the PC so I didn't bother to sign up on the forums.  

 

Just was dropping in to say I really liked the blog post.  I've really wanted to romance Cullen or at least have him as a companion since he stuttered everywhere to my Amell  Now, all I can say is bring on the Cullen!

 

Hi!  Welcome! Stay! 

[CuriousArtemis]

Depends on if he's available!

 

If they don't announce his sexuality before the game ships (which I think they SHOULD), then yes, I will definitely try. So there's a huge chance my first quizzy will be forever alone because I'm going to ignore all other flirt options and try for Cullen, definitely.

While I know that our Qunquisitor is going to probably have grown up around human/dwarf/elves and so probably be familiar with their culture, I kinda want there to be some moments like in Origins and Awakening where the different cultural backgrounds were acknowledged and made fun of, like Oghren trolling Velanna about where baby Dwarves come from.

 

So, the Qunquisitor asks Sera, DHMG and Varric about how Elves, Humans and Dwarves express attraction towards another... leading to Cullen walking into his chambers to find the Qunquisitor completely naked, holding a nug in one hand and a riding crop in the other...

I will probably try to make Cullen happy on my first playthrough, just because I'm not sure I will have time for more than one playthrough, and I really want to know him better 5 years after I first said that line to him, lol   (he won't outrun me this time!) I don't really want to speculate about his romance, because I want to accept it as is instead of fighting with my expectations. But I hope it won't be too angsty.

 

So, I decided to find out what happened after I disappeared in the end of 2011, and found some old posts about how DG said Cullen has a lot of potential for angst, and another one where Jennifer Hepler (  ) said that we will find out what happened to Cullen after Meredith, and now I'm both disturbed and happy. Also, OMG that thread grew up 100 times bigger after my untimely disappearance into real life. Wow. WOW! Who would have guessed? And this happened while there was almost no info about DA3, or Cullen, or anything. That's phenomenal!
