@whichwitchery : right? this is a thing that bugs me sooo much as well. like my first quizzie who romanced him did all the stuff he didn’t like. like all of it. but you could still romance him which is kinda fucked up even if we’re not looking at the big picture here. (rivalmance 2.0 if you want. I will never get why they thought this was a good idea...) but still if you talk to him personally? you can’t disagree with him. you can’t tell him to fuck off and leave you alone. I mean I can at least punch solas’ entitled ass but nope, nothing for our precious darling boy who is just soooo misunderstood and a good person now uwu yeah right -.- (seriously if he had actually shown SOME kind of remorse I would’ve maybe be able to see past all the shit but he doesn’t) I feel like they made him leave the templars just so they could pretend he changed. but does he speak out against the templars? no. he wants you to choose them of course because all mages are evil. seriously if they’re going to put him in the next game I will freaking lose my shit.
@danteh-ow: yeah and I completely get that! I mean he is not a templar anymore so he can’t be that bad and they just put all the Alistair romance stuff into his romance (like cute, dorky, a bit shy but very sweet) and it just works especially for people who don’t know the other games (I actually have a friend who had the exact same experience as you) and I even get if people who first played Inquisition and romanced him, then played the other games but still love Cullen. because you’re practically being forced to overlook all of his bullshit and you tend to do that with characters you liked at first. that’s just normal. (especially if you’re not like suuuper invested in the mage/templar debate or anything)
