Epilogue
This article implies Cullen will always get a mention in the epilogue if the Warden is a mage and sides with the mages in the Broken Circle. I'm not sure about this, but I think Cullen only goes postal at the end if the Circle of Magi is freed from the control of the templars. If the monarch doesn't grant this freedom, I don't think Cullen gets a mention in the epilogue. Can anyone confirm or refute this? --Zoev 08:48, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
Regardless of boon you want or the decision Queen Anora/King Alistair make if you die and were a Mage the Cirlce of Magi are always granted freedom from the Templars - I ran multiple playthroughs of the ending (The Archdemon actually seems to get harder the more you replay it...) to make sure, if I'm wrong then the PS3 has some major differences I suppose.

Unless there's some randomness built in, I think there must be a difference, as I'm almost certain that, if you live and don't ask for it as a boon, the Circle aren't granted freedom in the PC version. I've got the impression that this makes a difference to the epilogues for both Cullen (who only makes an appearance if the mages are freed - as long as you sided with the mages) and Dagna who only makes an appearance if the mages aren't freed. Could just be imagining things, though, so I won't update the article. --Zoev 21:21, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
These things match my experiences on the PS3; if my mage sides with the mages, lives, and doesn't ask that the Circle be given its freedom, it isn't freed. If it isn't freed, Cullen isn't mentioned while Dagna is. Alfaerin 02:52, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
Someone I know who played the Mage Origin sided with the mages, but purposefully let them all die during the Uldred encounter. Then he played different options, one had him not grant the autonomy to the Tower and Cullen became Knight Commander after Greagoir with strict rule etc. The second he did grant autonomy and Cullen went insane etc. Third he did the ultimate sacrifice and Queen Anora granted the tower autonomy and Cullen went insane as well. The choice of siding with the mages and letting all the mages die is the consistent factor here. So apparently, the Mage Warden does not need to side with Cullen (Templars) in order for him to become commander etc., as long as you don't grant the tower autonomy.

Female Mage during second meeting
When playing a female mage, the second time you see him in the force field thing, he says how he is being tormented by the one thing he always wanted but could never have. Should be mentioned. Id do it, but I am unsure of how to word it.--Miumaru (talk) 07:27, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
Mage-Warden (Female) Dialogue
I've made an entry in my blog (Link below), I think it pretty much covers the whole Broken Circle dialogue between a Female Mage Warden and Cullen (Before the fight with Uldred)

Glitch or Not?
In my epilogue Cullen went cuckoo, killed three mages, and later escaped from prison. I imported this account to DAII, but Cullen's codex entry says that Gregoir sent him to work with Meredith, I think it was because he kept saying the mages were all evil, I can't quite remember. Is this a glitch or what? Is it that whole 'codex entry is based on what the PC knows' thing? Or did Gregoir help Cullen escape (though I find this highly unlikely).
