Thank you, Modernacademic.  That was a well thought out and perceptive post.  I don't whitewash Cullen's actions.  He was written as human, with human flaws, one being his addiction.  I'm glad Bioware addresses it in the character and allows us to have a play on that stage as well.  I've had family members with alcoholism.  I'm sure most people have had or could mention someone they knew, a friend, coworker or family member, who has a problem with some substance, be it alcohol, nicotine, illegal or prescription drugs or even more exotic addictions to sex or food.  It's why I always try to help him.  There is something healing and cathartic in his character arc if you help him come to terms with and overcome his addiction.

 

Many nemeses in the past have presented themselves with a 'but by the grace of God, there go I' situation.  Samson is the fate Cullen could have had if he had been thrust into the same situation with the limited resources and no support from others to help him.  And one reason I feel Cullen has such a strong connection to his former colleague.

 

This is especially important to me with the addition of Trespasser's ending for him as he goes forth after the Inquisition helping others, a badly needed resource in Thedas.

Excellent post and that is the same reason I help him. I have had to help a family member with alcohol, and nicotine abuse. It is not easy to help them but in the end it pays off. Cullen's rehab farm looks like a step up from AA more like a re-hab Clinic. I'm really glad Bioware went there.

 

Alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the U.S. 17.6 million ... This represents approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population.

Funny how the mods came to this thread and removed my post yet are totally okay with the blatant insults by the troll here. Gee, thanks for proving my point.

 

I posted a image machist sending a woman to the kitchen and they deleted my comment!

The admins are totally out of place if you ask me.

Yep they are selective indeed. But ever since I've been blowing the mods I've gotten away with everything.

let me guess, this game made you realize you are bisexual?

No, since I said I was a lesbian and not a bisexual...

Now that we've established the obvious, if liking Cullen's romance makes me bisexual, then I guess everyone on here who has ever done a romance in the game with the gender they're not attracted to in real life must be bisexual. People can't just appreciate the experience without fully relating to it, right? I don't need to go through some sort of "awakening" because of it. I'm surprised I liked the romance as much as I did, but I still know who I am.

 

So? It's relevant to whatever topic. She's making a point that the OP is full of crap with their "argument" by informing them she is a lesbian who enjoys the Cullen romance. Has nothing to do with "attention seeking".

With the amount of topics I've seen in here that begin with "As a straight man... Romance options suck blah blah." does that mean they are attention seeking?

Thanks, Donk. Pretty weird you needed to explain that.

No, is just i am not saying my sexuality in a forum of a game, or you are you yelling on the street that you like the color red for example?
They aren't homosexual because they like this, they do for attention. (I see she saying she is lesbian at least five times in this forum, and i am here around 2 months.)

I don't see why I shouldn't say something about myself on a game forum when it makes sense. Funny that you've seen me mention it in the last 2 months, considering I came back here in January and have only mentioned that in the last couple of months, and only when it's relevant. I don't just go around letting everyone know for no reason like you think. I haven't seen anyone do that for that matter.

 

And... are you seriously saying I'm not actually homosexual? The hell do you know about me?

People don't get the idea of "role-playing". I plan to romance Solas in the future but does that make me bi? Oh hell to the no.

In any case, you shouldn't have to justify what you do in a game to anybody.. Frankly it's none of anybody's business.

And I hate it when someone you don't even know makes comments like "Ur an attention seeker lolz" or "Cullenites r fat frigide girls" though the latter is just the work of a tryhard troll.

Alas, I do enjoy it. Gives me an excuse to express my snark.

Putting me to sleep with this bickering.

Cullen was who wanted be a templar, he knew he was going to become an addict, like Alistair, but Alistair was forced to do that. You can't blame the addiction, you have to blame the person.

He wanted to be a Templar but he didn't know he was going to be an addict. If you talk to Alistair he states the Chantry keeps it a secret. The Warden are not the only organization that keeps secrets.

 

"When Cullen was thirteen years old, a visiting knight-captain took notice of Cullen's hard work and offered him the chance of formal training. His parents agreed to the request, as the Templar Order was known to be a respectable and honorable profession, and they wanted to give their son the opportunity to have a life he would be happy with."

 

Tell me you think they told his parents the truth? Tell me a 13 year old kid would know,and understand they were going to make him a drug addict.

 

This is one of the reason I like DA. Everyone of these organizations have done some good, but they all have their dirty little secrets. That is one of the reasons Cory knew to make his move. He exploited their corruption.

Well, I don't associate myself with that word but apparently as a Cullen fan I'm doing this real life thing wrong, gee-whiz, I should have known this years ago..

*glances over at loving husband, kid and underweight appearance in the mirror*

I prefer my real life to a trollish insult

 

I'm straight, yet I think I come across as bi on BSN due to my love/minor obsession of lady Inquisitors...

Lmao. Um.. Sexuality can be a complex thing. I've known women who have expressed attraction to other women and kiss them, etc but never go further than that.. Or have relationships for that matter and identify as straight. One girl I knew even said she thought lesbian porn was hotter than hetero porn but she's still straight. While I don't understand this at all, I won't claim to know how they think or dictate what they like.

No, trolls don't offend me. They provide me with entertainment and the excuse to be a dick.

I just said I hate it when people make comments when they know nothing about the person they are generalising or making a comment about.

While I'm guilty of such comments myself, and generally a hypocrite, I usually restrict it to celebrities or people I actually know.

Also.. What is that, 3 accounts now bud?
