I had made a comment a year ago where I doubted this actor and doubted the character. I came back to apologize to Freddie Prinze Jr. From the bottom of my heart. I've finished dragon age inquisition and found the character absolutely amazing . Never romanced bull but found him to be a deep rich character. Bull embodies the soul of a soldier with a heart of gold. He's a spy a soldier a mercenary who is adversely effected by his life. His fears run deep and because I'm not a writer find it hard to put in words. But I do feel what he's going through. Bull tries and fails at playing both sides against the middle and still his heart aches for those who get caught and killed in the name of a cause. Bull holds very few grudges and he is honest. A devote qunarari who is trying to out run the qun. I love this character. Thank you bioware and thank you Mr. Prince.

MissOkabe I wouldn't say it was rapey, he did consent- she was just a bit pushy and forward. I never liked it, I tried it once on a jacob romance import but it did literally nothing for me - which is SAD because FPJ's voice acting for Vega was by far one of my favourites

It's so refreshing to find a voice actor that is actually interested in the games he voices for! I find it saddening when the voices of our favourite characters don't know much about, or aren't even interested in gaming! Of course, it's not their fault and I don't belittle them for it, they don, but its really cool to hear that voice actors such as Freddie Prinze Jr. that are as interested in these games as much as we are! :D

Honestly, some of his banter with some of my other companions makes me giggle, laugh and generally whoop when he comes up with a good one! I just acquired him so am really looking forward to more of his whit ! Kudos to the writers and to Freddie Prinze Jr. who pulls off the role with perfect timing, a complexity of emotion and just the right touch of dead-pan in the humorous parts!

Hyper adorable (but not in a Anime/Waifu way like Merrill was...) hedonist with a high pitched welsh barmaid's voice who can kill someone from 100 yards away. Apparently that equals excitement. There's a video from the recent E3 Demo out there of her going back and forth with FPJ's Iron Bull and it is, maybe, the funniest conversation in Dragon Age to date.
