He thinks your fem-mage is gross and dirty.  That's not love.  If that turns your fem-mage on, it's too bad for both of them there are no therapists in Ferelden. 

Unfortunately.

He does think of the femMage as being at fault. He thinks it's her fault that he's attracted to her. Godsalmighty, I do hope that girls will stay away from types like him in RL.

I think I'm a bit more creeped out than usual since I got a call from a friend's ex-husband a few weeks ago. I have never seen my husband more furious -- she has a restraining order but there's nothing *I* can do. Well, except what I did and asked him politely to please not call me again.



I understand that it's fantasy and all, but eeek! Especially when two situations (Zevran and Cullen) that are so different are looked at the same.

[KrystylSky]

LoL! well beauty has caused more than one good man to stumble and didnt Adam use that excuse with Eve - "It's her fault" lolz!

Women always get blamed especially for being a homewrecker.

Also I am not geting that he thinks its her fault in fact during his "imprisonment scene" he takes credit for his own desires.

Ya know, since you brought TV Tropes into it.  This http://tvtropes.org/...Main/TheOphelia pretty much fits Cullen, if you make allowances for the wrong sex.

lol Cullen is not crazy he just has PTSD lol

[Nonvita]

It's not PTSD when he has it *before* he's tortured...

[Sabriana]

Cullen is crazy. He is also a drug addict and religious zealot. Goodness gracious, step away from him. He's poison, and he'll slay your mage girl in a heartbeat. Pick the non-groveling answers after the Harrowing, and you can tell. He would have killed her. Without a second thought.

But he would have felt bad about it . . .

 Well, that's all right then.

Rofl @ Ejoslin and Harelda. I mean it. I scared my cat, even.

The stalker quota is already filled by Leli. I would rather go with Sweeney, he doesn't care about looks, all look the same to him.

*salutes old man of awesome*

[KrystylSky]

lol did Sweeney survive the tower?

[illerianna]

Cullen was (physically) cute, and though my mage girl would like to think sexytime would make everything better... Those are unrealistic expectations.

Plus, he reminded me WAY too much of a fictional character vampire failboat teenage-girl's-wet-dream creeper-in-a-disco-suit faerie princess STALKER.

So, as (physically) cute as he is... No. Religious zealots aren't cute. Or cuddly. He'd give you a hug... And then throw your dead body into a lake.

Edit: Fix'd for clarity.

Eh I liked him before the Broken Circle, because he came off as shy, awkward, and at least willing to have dialogue. Not bad looking either.I didn't get the creepy stalker vibe until after the Broken Circle was completed though.



So before Broken Circle and blood mage torture, yes. Possible chance the whole thing can be resolved. Afterwards......hell no.

cullens mage start is the same way - his heart isnt into killing mages he does it because he has to and he was told to - no different than zevan being told to kill certian people by the crows. also cullen is killing blood mages and abominations not innocents so in theory zevan is the same. i see them as similar also zevan overcame killing ricca and being betrayed i bet cullen could as well. i still think he could be a valid option and i still say the crazy part is what we all face. all the companions have something in their past they have to face and overcome and cullen would be no different.

There is a key differance between Zevran and Cullen that you aren't mentioning, though:  Hatred.

Zevran feels no hatred for his victems.  He kills out of necessity (What would the crows do with him if he stopped?)

Cullen has a burning unthinking hatred for mages (at least after the Tower).  That kind of hatred can't be reasoned with.  It can't be persuaded or "loved" away.  That kind of hatred is only in an unballenced mind.  And such minds are irredeamable.

Zevran may not be a very moral person, and I'd check my food and drink around him, but he can be reasoned with.

lol... After I played through the mage origin I wondered if Cullen was just a name they picked out of a hat.

LOL! Too bad in game they didn't put sparkle VFX on him. That would have been hilarious....and REALLY creepy.

My mage wouldn't have minded some quick, meaningless sexy time with him in the origin, even if he did creep ehr out and make her nervous. It would have been a personal victory, "corrupting the templar" and reliev a bit of frustration,. especially since  Jowam decided to "caboodle" with that fat cow Chantry sister.

But after the circle quest? Hell no...if anything after experiencing THAT, she's never going anywhere near the tower without Alistair, and is keeping a crushing prison spell at all times. And at the end of the game, i can only hope that, out of gratitutde, that Irving will warn her when Cullen flips out and escapes, so she can at least be alert should he decide to show up sometime and  resolve their..ehh..lack of a relationship.

I could totally see him becoming a mage's nightmare version of Ted Bundy or something.

Considering Ted Bundy used his looks to do what he did, I agree.

[Sable Rhapsody]

Ugh. I think David Gaider's retort to people asking for Cullen DLC should sum up everything that is VERY VERY WRONG with this picture. I didn't even find him appealing before Broken Circle--he was fairly bat**** even then. My mage was all like, "Oookay, you take your creepy wet dreams and homicidal tendencies and go sit in that corner. Far, FAR away." And then she shacked up with a nice boy Yay for Alistair and his decided lack of creepy.



But if Cullen is honestly what floats your boat, might I recommend a whole industry of teenage softcore vampire porn devoted to this particular brand of crazy? XD

[Kohaku]

When David wrote his romance for Cullen it was both funny and creepy. Mainly because Cullen is an unstable person. There is no way to fix crazy and we are all full up.

[Sialater]

He's Prince Stabbity.
