Hey, brush! :D Welcome back! No trouble so far, as long as I've been perusing the new thread, but supposedly in the dead of night (USA time) some sh!t went down. Fortunately, this shiny new forum has an ignore function; I think once trolls realize they're being ignored they will go away.

Ahh, yes. The ignore function. :) I hope you're right. :)

Guuuuuuyssssss, this thread was at like 30 pages yesterday, I come back today and it's at 100!

 

Did I miss much?  :blink:

I think it was mostly lots of randomness, lol. The only info that has some meat to it (but not really Cullen related) is that other companions will pick on our LIs make comments about the relationship in banter with Inquisitor's LI :]

 

Edit: shows my priorities :rolleyes:

Well,the templars are technically an army,don't let them fool you :P !And Cullen has been already in a leadership position as Meredith's second in  command which pretty much makes him suitable for the task.

 

For leading troops, yes, but advising on military tactics, especially for a large, wide-spread army? I don't know about that. Maybe. As I said, I'd need to know more about Cullen and his position within the Templars to feel more confident on saying either way.

So... some of you guys definitely don't know me, but I was a Cullen thread regular for about three years and have been awol for the last six months. Now that we have some more to talk about, I was thinking I might pop in from time to time. :)  Hope to get to know everyone better!

 

This space is going to be assaulted with a lot of negativity from DA fans who have already decided that Cullen is stupid, that he's just fanservice (as if we're a wide majority, and as if the writers ever do anything they don't really want to... pffft). And eventually it'll be assaulted with DA fans who have actually played the game and have valid reasons for disliking Cullen based on, you know, actually knowledge and experience (whaaaat?).  Some of us may even decide we belong to that crowd after we see where the story has taken him -- he's Bioware's character, not ours, after all (*gulp*).   :blink:

 

And this space won't be like the DAII Cullen thread -- he's a big deal now, and people who want to discuss his character in a negative way have to feel welcome here too, as long as they aren't disrespectful or trollish. Those of us who are old hands at the ol' "You love Cullen? I love Cullen too!" game are going to have a hard time adjusting. *sigh*

 

But in the meantime I hope this spot can be a bright one where those of us who are excited to see what happens with Cullen can get together and share our thoughts without anyone taking a difference of opinion personally. Even fans who are excited about Cullen in a negative way are still excited -- and that's what the writers are hoping for. If he divides the fanbase, he's done his Maker-given duty. There won't be any more "Who is this Cullen people squee about?" in the discussions anymore and OMG how sweet that is.  :lol:

 

So yeah, can't wait to get to know some of you guys better. We have so much to be excited about!!!!!!!   :D  :D  :D

 

 

 

Welcome back love!

Not really? Nothing factual, mostly just speculation and debating.

 

PAX revealed there are Red Templars in some snowy Highlands area, though, so some of us think that might be where we run into Cullen!

 

 

Which is the perfect segue I needed to bring the conversation around to the thing of most importance to me, which is this:

 

 

DOES THIS MEAN I WILL FINALLY GET TO SNUGGLE MAH FACE INTO SER CULLEN'S FUR STOLE?!?!   :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

 

... this is what mama's been missing.

One thing that's always nagged at me about Cullen being a miltiary advisor is, well, isn't that a different skill set than actually being a fighter? Or even leading troops? I mean, I guess we know nothing about Cullen's skill set in that way, but still, it makes me hesitate.

 

Well, yeah, I see what you mean. Templars and guardsmen/women are basically like... police? National guard? Different from soldiers on the battlefield. So Cullen will have experience in: leadership and combat, but not in soldiering. How can he advise the inquisitor about troop supplies and whether we should storm or siege the castle?

I hope that part is in beginning of the game then. DAO's beginning is torture without Zevran on team! Origin, Ostagar, Lothering and one place in main plot before Zevran : ( I hope that doesn't happen to Cullen!

 

YES. It's terrible trying to decide which part of the game I want to experience without Zevran. I'm hoping that we can just go get Cullen I MEAN DESTROY THOSE RED TEMPLARS.

 

No, but, really, I want to get Cullen first.  :lol:

Well when the Divine orders an Exalted March, don't the Templars act as the Chantry's army?

I guess so, but how often does that happen? How much experience in the field does the average templar have?

lol That's kind of what's troubling me, like what if you can only romance him if you decide to rule with an iron fist. It's not really my style, but I'd do it, just for, you know... :rolleyes:

 

Yep!  Whatever it takes.   ;)

No, I still think prisoner. The Red Templars are extremists and aren't what the Order stands for. He definitely won't have tried the red stuff though

To be fair,templars were more focused on mages,so yeah their task was different as their goal was  to supervise them,to put it kindly...

(Btw,you didn't get my hidden,sneaky Alistair reference,or did you?)

YES PLEASE.

I think where the Red Templars are, Cullen is more likely to be. Either as opposition or as a prisoner, but hopefully as opposition. (Being a prisoner would not endear him further to people who do not know him.)

I pretty vehemently do not think this. :) I think he's maybe kicking some red templar ass somewhere.

Not really,especially after witnessing first-hand what red lyrium did to Meredith...So I don't think he'll be eager to try the red stuff.

That's what I mean. I don't know if Cullen has the skillset to be a Military Advisor. I don't know.

 

([FRETS] Reference?! No, it went over my head.)
