I still can't believe that of all the mega attractive characters in DA:I, the guy who looks like he was made in the Oblivion character creator is the one with legions of screaming fangirls.

I don't understand why so many girls are in love with Cullen "mages aren't people" Rutherford, but at least he's physically attractive.

[(Anonymous)]

Cullen realises he was a dick to mages and feels guilty about it.

[(Anonymous)]

He had fangirls long before that realization hit him, my friend.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering that realization hit him during the game that netted him the biggest pre-Inquisition fan surge, I'm pretty sure it actually does have quite a bit to do with his popularity.

[(Anonymous)]

I for one find Cullen awesome because he grows OUT OF the "mages aren't people" crap. Hell even in the first game if you're a female mage he has a thing for you so clearly his "MAGE SUCK" viewpoint just happened as a result of the horrors he had to witness during Origins. Kind of understandable. But he remains honorable and isn't okay with how Meredith handles the mage problem in DA2, and in DA:I he's cautious with Mages (WHICH IS A VALID THING TO FEEL) but hardly against them. His character growth is awesome and I think that's one of the things that draws the fangirls to him. As far as his looks, he's decent-looking but Dragon Age has a decently wide variety of attractive people that DON'T all look cookie-cutter Hollywood hot. So yeah, Solas looks a bit odd. Cullen is rugged but hardly perfect. Blackwall, Iron Bull, even Dorian aren't exactly models. But their romances are still interesting and that's awesome.

I felt the opposite about him during DA:O and DA:2 - found him a creepy stalker in the first when I went with a woman mage (too much power imbalance) and in second he's an opportunist (that is how I see him, so it's okay). Eh, still didn't play DA:I as of slow internet connection and no download :<, can't comment on that, but I hope he grows out of his discriminatory and creepy ways (not romance wise, can't for the life of me play straight characters).

[(Anonymous)]

Girls love Cullen because he's not a liar, or a spy, or someone who asserts that they "know what you want". Solas is a liar, leaves the Inquisitor without explanation, and is a condescending prick a lot of the time. Blackwall misleads the Inquisitor (and continues to mislead them even when their relationship is serious enough to become sexual), and Iron Bull is a spy for a religion that would basically enslave everyone if they could (not to mention the whole BDSM thing, which some people just don't care fore). Cullen, on the other hand, is up front about what he did, is honest and respectful of the Inquisitor, and is basically just a cute puppy in love. I really disliked his character before DAI, but for my straight female characters, he's pretty much their go to romance.

*straight female elf or human characters

all true that most players are going to choose humans or elves, but still.

[(Anonymous)]

Oops, yes. Thanks for clarifying that.

[(Anonymous)]

Because he's a good person? Because he's really sweet? Because he's the only male love interest who has a power dynamic of equality with the Inquisitor, instead of being condescending to her (Solas), sexually dominating her (Iron Bull), or putting her on a pedestal and groveling at her feet (Blackwall...until you have sex and then of course he takes charge)?

[(Anonymous)]

*Sorry, I meant male love interest for straight female Inquisitor

[(Anonymous)]

If it weren't for the final reveal he'd probably compete with Blackwall in terms of popularity.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually wanted to dislike him for his looks (ugh that design and I hate baldness). But he grew on me - I blame his voice actor (the guy who played Ianto on Torchwood btw.). But he is an asshole. Like almost everyone in your party, but still. I think the reason he is so popular is because the people who choose the female elf origin tend to create the biggest sue characters and have a weakness for the "redeem the asshole" trope - like they have with Loki.

the guy who looks like he was made in the Oblivion character creator

Bahahahaaaaaaa A+ shade-throwing, gonna use this all the time now
