So, I'm a Dragon Age fan, so obvs I'm up for DA4.
But that motherfucking tweet thread by Greg Ellis is quite possibly the -worst- way to go about hyping it.
For those who don't know what I'm on about

This thread (from the guy mainly known in the games for voicing Cullen I suppose. Who is in all of them, from minor role to major-ish depending on which one you're on about)

If he's not been -told- to do this, this is a really stupid move on his part and something I'd imagine he'd get in a lot of trouble for.
If he's been told to do this (which one has to assume) it's just a needlessly long tease which everyone already figured out the answer to, from a character that would only ever be in 4 as a pure fanservice thing, and is dead in some peoples games.
Which for the record, it's not like Bioware has ever had issue bringing characters back from the dead, or forcing in characters just for fanservice. But that's not really a character you -ought to be trying to hype your game up with-

@katiekats If thats the biggest name from the previous games they have to offer for hype purposes, that game's in trouble.

I have to assume it's meant to be a fanservice thing, cos while I'm not personally into him. Cullen has lusty female fans the same way [insert current boyband here] does.
But that's also why I don't get it. Those people are attached to -Cullen- not Greg Ellis. If they bring Cullen back, that would rightfully agitate a lot of people. If they don't, and Greg Ellis is voicing someone else, ...none of those fangirls would care, because as you note, Greg Ellis is hardly hypeworthy on his own.
It's the character all those fangirls like. So either he's in, they're pleased, other fans aren't. Or he's not, thank god, but the fangirls feel cheated.
