Wow this thread moves fast. haha
I actually have a Cullen related question , if someone doesn't mind educating a poor girl who hasn't read any DA books: Who was Cullen in the games? I have no idea who this character is aside from the picture on the trailer and feel like I'm not being a good enough fan lately. What's his story? Is he mostly from the books? I hear he is in DA:O and DA2 but I have no recollection. For a while I thought he was Bann Teagan (because I'm bad with names, apparently, and hadn't played Origins in a while).
He hasn't been at all in the books so it's all about games XD In DAO he was in mage origin. He was at your harrowing and you could talk with him after that in corridor. If you are girl you can flirt him and he gets all nervous and cute ^^; He is rather easy to miss though since you don't have to talk at him at all in mage origins. In Broken circle quest he's there just before boss fight, locked up in magical cage. He's rather angry and tells you to kill all mages there since there is no saying if they all aren't blood mages. You can discuss with him a while. After you have handled bossfight he's with Gregoir and other templars in the lobby. I think he and Gregoir talk few lines there, you can also click him and hear line. Then there is ending slides where there is info about what happened him after broken circle but I think some of that was just rumours and was reconnected I think.
In DA2 he's part is bigger, he's one of quest givers. You saw him first time when you are looking for lost templar recruit for his sister and you meet Cullen questioning other templar rather aggressivily. Templar changes into abomination and you and Cullen kill him, then you talk with Cullen, go to do the quest and you return the quest to him too. You see him few times too after that and you can talk with him in the gallows all the time too. In the end of DA2 he goes against Meredith that wants to kill Hawke.
I guess that's about it.. I think I got ninjaed many times writing this.. but oh well I post this anyways XD Oh and maybe you don't just recognize him cause he looks really different in trailer? Or then you just don't remember him with games, although many DA players have strong like or dislike towards him there is also many who don't remember him so it's okay ^^
