I romanced Cullen and god, he's really unskippable 😭 I am so happy with his ending too! Look at him smile! After 3 games he can be finally happy! I will hate bioware if they kill or ruin his peaceful life in Dragon age 4 !
Given how BioWare has lost most of its writers and is clearly being intentionally tanked by higher ups I wouldn’t hold my breath. That being said I’ve already written off Dread Wolf. It’s not canon as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure it’ll mishandle Stolas too.
I think Cullen (to me) is one of the best fleshed out Dragon Age characters. In Origins, he’s a young Templar who was tortured by blood mages, and if you chose the Circle origin you get more of this young and goofy person who really enjoys the world until the torturing happens, then dragon age 2 he’s a bit more angry at the mages, at the Templars for the way they’re acting towards the mages and how much the world isn’t changing or wanting to help. He lives in fear, in anger and in constant pain of the past. Finally in Inquisition you see this man who has slowly begun to realize that people have made others bad, it wasn’t always the bad mages or the bad Templars or chantry. It was just how the world reacts to harsh motives. Cullen is truly an amazing character and his romance is amazing too. I love it.
Kirkwall is also UTTERLY UNFIT for a Circle of Magi because of its history. The veil is shredded, the local Fade so polluted it will take a hundred years or more to clean and it's implied that the Magisters Sidereal entered the Golden City here.
Years later I still tell him to not forgot to take his armor off before jumping in the lake and still swear he blushes from head to foot even years later when he gets embarrassed everytime
Anyone else notice how when the Inquisitor asked if Cullen left anyone behind in Kirkwall he said “not in Kirkwall”- 🧍🏽♀️ anyone else thinking about the MC mage from DAO
No, mine was a rogue, so I have no reason to. And "not in Kirkwall" was a reply to "no one special caught your interest?" . It was him hinting that he was falling for the Inquisitor. When asked if he left anyone behind, he simply said no, and that he didn't have friends or family there. So no, it wasn't a throwback to the Warden (or the mage origin).
@@tinydarkjewel All the characters from DA:O existed, but we choose the Origin that goes on to become the Warden. For example, if you didn't play a dwarf, there's a reference to an exiled Aeducan (dwarf noble sibling of Bhelen and Trian) and there's a dead body (Brosca; dwarf commoner origin) in Jarvia's hideout that Leske (their best friend) talks about. So I believe Cullen's comment is more than likely it's a direct reference to the female Circle mage.
@@osmiumqueen I've only ever gotten "Not in Kirkwall" while actively romancing Cullen, even with female Surana almost always being my save state's Warden
In Inquisition idk why, but I want to hear him ask Leiliana about the HoF at the war table. But I can never commit to romancing her because of Alistair 😂

Even crazier when you compare Origins to Inquisition. Origins was downright ugly in terms of graphics, while Inquisition has some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen in a game, and those two games are only five years apart.

I love Cullen and his romance. It’s a shame it’s so unfinished- I remember hearing somewhere about how they’d intended for male inquisitors to be able to romance Cullen, as well as other races, but they ran out of time. You can see a lot of details in his cutscenes that look like they were meant to be placeholders. I’m glad it seems like they’re giving themselves more time with DA4.
huh, placeholders, makes sense. But tbh, I kinda like it this way, cuz every possible LI has a different taste, making the game's Romance lines have more nuances and replay value. Especially for Cullen, considering his history with a circle mage in DAI, the "Cullen has a thing for elven/human mages, but he is a templar/ex-templar" just makes sense.
It's all about whether or not Dorian has been officially recruited. If you chose the templar route and don't go talk to Dorian in Skyhold to officially welcome him to the Inquisition, Leliana will play. If, after siding with the templars, you DO talk to Dorian at Skyhold and recruit him, Dorian will play with Cullen. So, it isn't so much a templars vs. mages thing. Just more about going to say hi to Dorian to get him onboard with the crew!
I love Cullen. Especially after my first playthrough with Solas and that devastating heartbreak. The frustration in Cullen’s voice when being interrupted is just great
It's just a funny way to remind the player that Cullen is from Ferelden, as well as showing new players what that means if they didn't play Origins since every other game is p far removed from there
Cullen was the first romance I chose in Inquisition. Even my warden flirted with him to make him uncomfortable. But nothing compares to the Solas romance. Tops even Morrrigan imo. ❤
Call me superficial but why did they have to make Solas look like an egg? He's an elf for goodness' sake, they could have at least tried to make him attractive.
I stg face customization in DAI requires a degree in design to make them any sort of decent-looking. It doesn't help that the base faces they give you to work with all look slightly wonky somehow.
I always have to come on RUclips to watch his romance as I fell for Blackwall again… my hairy man is just impossible to resist!! But the blondie is cute too ngl
Lol can it be that when you choose a mage cullen isnt there in the beginning? Because i played it again and cullen wasnt there until haven. Or is it a language thing?
I think if you choose to take the mountain path to the rift rather than a charge with the soldiers, you don't meet Cullen until Haven. I started the game and took the path and don't remember ever seeing the first scene with Cullen, then when I restarted and chose the charge, I got it. Hopefully I'm remembering correctly
ok there is a trope that is going around the fanfiction sights called Modern Girl in Thedas(MGiT). got an idea involving two sisters getting sent into the world because they were originally from it and were lied to by the parents all their life.
I like to think the first time you flirt with him is when he instantly falls for you, makes all the other scenes so much cuter
there's a cut line of dialogue that actually confirms this. ;) He says "Honestly? I couldn't keep my eyes off you. But we'd only just met."
@@masquerademageyou can totally see it too. Swoon ❤
@@masquerademage Really? Do you know how to get that line or when does it happen?
@@meh7410 "Cut"

Me: Goddammit *boots up inquisition*
Always
This! I was playing Dorian’s route as male elf but seeing Solas just made want to do it all over again
i thought i twas the only one!! i freaking love Solas so much. i'd replay it over and over again. soooo goood.

@@BriarPatchNyra yeah apparently Solas won't be the main antagonist but we will see won't we?

Whenever I romance Cullen I always have "As the world falls down" by David Bowie in the back of my mind, it fits so well
AGREED
You have exquisite taste. How I miss DB...
Curly and a female Lavellan is one of the best pairings in Inquisition. Their romance story is just too good to pass on.
Especially with a Mage
The jump in graphics from DA2 to DAI is insane.
Even crazier when you compare Origins to Inquisition. Origins was downright ugly in terms of graphics, while Inquisition has some of the best graphics I’ve ever seen in a game, and those two games are only five years apart.

I love how scared Josephine looks when the main character flips shit like holy shit I didn’t think she was capable of that
This whole game is like a fanfic I swear 😭
I can never get enough of the Cullen romance
Ahhhhh Cullen is such a sweet heart. After all he's been through in my first playthrough as a Circle Mage I'm so glad I romanced him in Inquisition.
I usually always take Dorian into the Inquisition, so seeing Lelianna there is absolutely Alien to me
I know right
The Cullen romance is so wholesome!
Beautiful, well made video and awesome modding to your inky!
“The thought of losing you…I can’t.”
Cullen’s VA is incredible. That breathy, hopeless part gets me 🥺❤️
Ahhh I love their romance!! After Solas, he’s my favorite in this game when it comes to the romances 💖💖
Most healthy relationship in the game
58:00 lmao what the hell
Hahaha
I had that happen to me a few times here lol.
Nobody getting between her, her huge hat, and that view 🤣
47:33 anyone else notice that cullen looks back at you?
Um... I'm not seeing Bull in your ending? Did he betray you?
I usually only play as Qunari, bothered me with the lack of options romantically..
@@Rose-xe7oj EA rushing things again. 😕
Honestly my favourite moments gotta be:
13:07
21:30
24:56

44:45
Can't help but notice Iron Bull and Cole are both missing from the ending sequence. Did you not recruit them or did you piss them off?
And Blackwall.

Best romance in the game also your mc is adorable 😍😍😍😍
Elfs are indeed pretty.
She reminds me.. kinda of Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War.
How did you get him to play against Liliana? I always had Dorian so is this the back of if you tell him you don't want him in the party?
As far as I know it happens if you choose templars over mages. Might be wrong, but this is what I've been told
It happens if you ally with the templars AND before you talk to Dorrian :)
It's all about whether or not Dorian has been officially recruited.
If you chose the templar route and don't go talk to Dorian in Skyhold to officially welcome him to the Inquisition, Leliana will play.

How did you get her outfit? I love it but can't seem to find it? Is it elvish specific?
It's a mod, I linked them all in the description to get her to look like that.
I'm not sure if you've done a video doing the sliders for this character I'd love to see that 😇
PC mods to get her to look like that. All of the details are in the description
@@NaughtyGaming- oh okay
CullenxLavellan romance is best romance
i never understood the letter that pops up when you ask cullen where he is from. is it a reference to something?
It's just a funny way to remind the player that Cullen is from Ferelden, as well as showing new players what that means if they didn't play Origins since every other game is p far removed from there
wait how do u get lilly to play chess with him? I get Dorian
I was thinking the same. Though I enjoy Dorian more when he talks about Cullen being sassy

This is all cool but one question how tf did you make your inquisitor so damn fine
I stg face customization in DAI requires a degree in design to make them any sort of decent-looking. It doesn't help that the base faces they give you to work with all look slightly wonky somehow.
I think the creator used mods
The answer to your question is in the description. MC is heavily modded.

Did we get an answer on this? I have played as a mage and a warrior and never received that cutscene! Wth!?!
I play mage and in English... So I always get the scene. So maybe it is a language thing.
