Varric and Cassandra didn't see what happened at the Circle tower in Ferelden. After that,Cullen had no doubt in the templar order,believing they were doing the best thing. Until Knight Commander Meredith came along.
I think it would be interesting to see how his opinion has changed,what he now thinks about the mages and the templar order. I'm not saying that he's more interesting than anyone else in your party (I'm very intrigued by Sera,to tell you the truth),but I think he has the potential of becoming more than the fangirls' favorite templar.

Well, I asked because the original poster acted like it was idiotic to pick other characters over Cullen. Not because I didn't think he had any redeeming qualities at all. So, I was looking for reasons he'd be "more" interesting.

Just fess up. You only want to make your character have sex with him.

Lol! Really dude ..

I don't want him as a companion for only that. That guy as seen things .

[ElitePinecone]

True, however we haven't heard about him in a very long while, and they could have easily scrapped him

They would never scrap companions this late. Never. If he's in the game and concept art, then it's several years too late to ever think about changing the party roster.

(And why is he the only one that people are constantly thinking might have been scrapped? Is it because his status as a companion would mean Cullen is out?)

We have a winner!

 

I think it is mostly a case of wanting him to be scrapped so there will be room for Cullen. The Iron Bull and Cassandra are confirmed, so that just leaves the Grey Warden for scrapped wishes.

The tweets by Greg Ellis, Cullen's subsequent confirmation as a LI and the devs refusal to confirm or deny Cullen as a companion has really fed the fire, though. It's given people quite a bit to cling to, if they wanted Cullen as a companion.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Well, to be fair there were quite a few more female companions that male in ME3 if I recall correctly, although I would enjoy another female rogue. :3

James

Liara

Garrus

EDI

Ashley/Kaidan

Tali

Javik

 

That's 4 males(5 with Kaidan) and 3 females(4 with Ashley) So not counting Javik, they were actually equal.

Also Cullen is confirmed in game and confirmed romance. It's logical to assume he is still a warrior. non-follower romances haven't been confirmed, so they are kinda competing with each other. A lot is still up in the air. That's why I put them in that slot

I'm not sure the competing evidence for them is really equivalent, though.

All it would take for Cullen not to be a companion is the inclusion of NPC romances. Aside from that one fact, he has absolutely no other evidence for being a member of the party.

But the Grey Warden has been seen in-game, in concept art with the party, in concept art with the Inquisitor, we've seen devs giving him nicknames, and he was even in a blog post about armour customisation from two years ago with Cassandra as "a hypothetical Warden companion".

To my mind, NPC romances being in are far more likely than all of that other stuff being wrong. The weight of evidence seems far stronger for the Warden than for Cullen.

What? Where?

[Han Shot First]

What? Where?

 

A brief glimpse in a gameplay vid a few months back. You could see him and Sera. 

[ElitePinecone]

He was in the party in a video last year, I think it was during the GameInformer preview:

Maybe it's the bad quality of the pic or BioWare mad him look older.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Does anyone have the link to the actual video? You can see him a lot more clearly and Sera is waaaay clearer if you see the whole thing. I did a google search, but couldn't find it so far.

 

Edit -- n/m I found it.

You can see warden and Sera starting around 1:17.

[ElitePinecone]

Thanks, I was just going to search for that.

Really the GameInformer preview probably gave away much more information than Bioware intended, given the propensity for CSI: BSN to go crazy with frame by frame screenshots.

I still think there's a chance that Iron Bull is a rogue. His outfit in the concept art is definitely more rogue-like than standard warrior-like, and I don't think the two-handed thing has to mean anything beyond a unique skill set - like Varric is the only one who can use crossbows, Merrill or Anders' unique mage abilities, or Shale/Dog having all unique talents despite both technically being warriors. If IB is a melee-oriented rogue (both Varric and Sera begin as ranged, it seems) then I think a Qunari would look pretty silly with a couple of tiny short swords so he gets a two-hander because it makes more sense with his size.

 

If he is a rogue, then Cullen could still be a companion along with Beardy - or Cullen could be an advisor (I do think this is a decent possibility) and we haven't seen that third warrior yet For all we know, the Dramatic Hands guy could be the third warrior ...

 

I do agree that the line-up could ideally (imo) do with an extra female, although if the characters are interesting enough I doubt that'll bother me too much in the end. Bioware sometimes does that 'secret companion' thing - perhaps they've got a lady lined up this time?

You're really clutching at straws here, "two-hander" is one of the two big "roles" of the warrior class since DAO, furthermore he has always been seen with a gigantic BFS.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I know it won't happen, but come on Scribe Girl as third Rogue!

[ElitePinecone]

Looking at that video again, the character even seems to have a little griffon symbol as his squad badge thing.

I don't know what evidence is stronger than gameplay footage of someone in the party fighting, really.

[ElitePinecone]

The Iron Bull is a warrior.

Mike said at PAX that he uses a two-handed sword but you can spec him to use a sword and shield if you like.

[Nocte ad Mortem]

Yes, the "Iron Bull is a rogue" theory is totally dead. He's definitely a warrior. I was happy to see that one go. 

[AllThatJazz]

Not really clutching at anything  -  the inclusion or exclusion of specific companions doesn't bother me, I don't have a horse in this particular race. I'm just pointing out that it is a possibility, given how stupid a massive Qunari would look with the standard melee rogue weapons of DA. The character has to be right from an aesthetic perspective, and it isn't as though we haven't seen characters deviate from a standard skill set before. Also, it is the most likely scenario IF IB, Beardy and Cullen are all companions, though obviously this may well not be the case ...

 

Edit: @ Elite - ah, well that's that then! Sorry Cullen fans !

 

Edit2: Out of interest Mort - why were you happy to see that theory go? Personally I like the idea of a companion who deviates from the norm a little. We've already had a warrior qunari  in Sten- imo a rogue or mage would offer something new. 

[Vapaa]

It's a dead theory, period.

[St. Victorious]

Apparently class discussion is a hot button issue with Cullan fans now. I wonder when one will start believing that since Cullan has gone rogue he literally gone Rogue.

I'm not a fan of people acting like they're entitled to things from Bioware. You should be grateful you're getting your favorite Templar in the first place.

That's actually already come up in some threads. lol

I think there's a tendency for some people to hope for some combination of circumstances (the Warden being cut, or being a temp companion, or being a rogue, Iron Bull being a rogue, *Cullen* being a rogue) that will allow Cullen to be a companion, even if they don't really make much sense.

But both Iron Bull and the Warden are obviously warriors. The former is confirmed as a companion, and the latter has been seen in the party during gameplay. Cullen being a rogue is a ludicrous idea.
