That was fun. At least the D.A. part. I really don't know M.E.
In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.
I love the guy who tells about his encounter with the bear.
M.E. is like D.A. except it's 3 games set in space. I love both games.

I loved this and seriously understood pretty much every single POV -- including realizing Liara was a cooler and more interesting love interest in ME3 (I couldn't stand her for most of ME1 and 2, until Shadow Broker DLC).
I especially loved the confessionals about DAI -- I romanced Solas. Let's just leave it at that. So yes, I felt pain. Lots and lots of pain. I practically felt like i'd broken up with a real boyfriend.
Sniffle.

I keep thinking I'm a grownup, but I'm not.
I never liked Liara that much. I only romanced her because I wanted to get everyone romanced so I could experience different games in ME 3.
Cullen was my sweetie. He was so adorably awkward. I would start a game to romance someone else but I could never resist Cullen. I finally had to play as a Qunari so I could romance Bull and Blackwall. I managed to romance Solas, finally, by keeping away from Cullen. I didn't even talk to him except for the bare minimum in my Solas romance game. I just can't resist that guy.
In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
I've played DAI through three times now, and romanced Bull, Solas, and Cullen.
For me as a writer, Bull's was the sexiest and most surprising, Cullen's was the sweetest, and Solas's was the most rewarding from a story standpoint.
But I loved Cullen's romance and thought he was a terrific love interest. He was a genuinely interesting character, he was a funny and thoughtful person to hang out with, and I thought the entire storyline was really lovely and fun.
Bull's romance is great for those who want their Inquisitors to break free of convention. Solas's is a fantastic, highly romantic and tragic storyline. And Cullen is the adorable boy next door who provides the fairytale ending.
I love this game.

I played it enough times to romance everyone. I played it thoroughly the first 2 times. By then I realized there was a lot of filler in the game that didn't necessarily need to be there so I skipped those parts when I went back to romance Cassandra, Bull, Blackwell, and Dorian. I couldn't romance Sera because she was just too obnoxious for me.
I felt the best thing about Cullen is that despite his adorable awkwardness when it came to crushes, starting in DA:Origins, he ended up having problems. He wasn't perfect, and I think that's part of the reason I found him so irresistible.
The two times I played every little bit of the game was the 1st time I played it, romancing Cullen, and the 2nd time I played it when I romanced Solas. You have to play the entire game to get every scrap of Elven knowledge when romancing Solas. It took me over 120 hours to play every little bit of it. When I cut out the filler, which included The Hissing Wastes, I played a little over 30 hours.
Unfortunately for me, I played it on my XBox 360 so the only dlc I got to play was Jaws of Hakkon. I've just ordered the XBox One slim due out in October (I detest that horrid white color they came out with) so I will finally get to play the GoTY addition and once again play every scrap of the game. All 120+ hours worth because I'm just that anal when it comes to playing it the first few times.
I've been away from the game since last year so it will almost be like playing it brand new again.
In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
I agree that Cullen was an absolutely wonderful character, and a very rewarding romance option in DAI.
I hope you got the chance to play the "Trespasser" DLC since it was absolutely amazing, and served as a beautiful and definitive ending to DAI on multiple levels.

I just got my XBox One Slim today (RED!) and it is downloading as we speak. I can't wait to play this game in its entirety.
It was a really nasty trick for them to put the ending on a DLC. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought the game for my 360. I consider it the ending because I know it ties up the loose ends of Solas, plus I get to marry my honey, Cullen, who I had a mini-crush on in Origins. Alistair was my cup of tea in the long run because of his humor, which is so like mine, but when I was a mage, I was crushing on cute and adorable Cullen.
In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice.
I'm really late to this party, but I just finished a couple of play-throughs for DAI. I feel your pain regarding Solas. I had to go back and romance Cullen to even out the angst from Solas' romance. Cullen's is so mushy-romantic compared to Solas'. lol
