Speaking of paragons, I doubt it would be so, but could there have been some foreshadowing mentioning of Varric's house in DA:O?



And would there ever be a steady and large population of surface dwarves outside of Ferelden and far from Orzammar?

[Bruddajakka]

I still do not get why you girls love Alistair so freaking much. It's like Kaiden it just doesn't make any freaking sense to me what so ever. Probably something to do with the big goofy puppy thing he has going on but I do not get it. At least Varric I can understand.

[Russalka]

You could ask from the Alistair gush thread of DA campaign boards. I am sure they would give an... intense answer.

Shouldn't that be 1917 ?

Varric save me. And please don't turn out to be Danny DeVito.

Amen to that!  (Although the Drunk-on-Limoncellos-for-the-First-Time Danny was HIL-larious, and very Varrician!)

What happened in 1917?

Or should I say with the mandatory reference... What in Varric's name happened in 1917?

There are surface dwarf populations in most major cities. Orzammar trades with most nations in Thedas, and everywhere that Orzammar sends goods, you find a population of the "surface caste" conducting business between the humans and the dwarves. Ferelden has a disproportionate number of them for the size and wealth of the country because it's sitting on top of the entrance to Orzammar. You'll actually find a lot more surface dwarves in Val Royeaux, Minrathous, Nevarra, Antiva City, Kirkwall, and Dairsmuid.

LMAO. Seriously

[Bruddajakka]

Oh I get that. Believe me. I just don't get the love. And there's no way I'm going near the gush friend. That place scares me.

Well, following on your reference to 1914, (and given your moniker and earlier avatar) I had pictured you (at least the on-line "you") as having ties (at least of pseudo-nostalgia) to the Romanovs.  While 1914 marked the beginnng of a long, long disaster worthy of many, many tears, 1917 was the end of their rule (and the beginning of another long, long disaster.)

And I can picture Varric being the surface-dwelling middleman for House Arteides: sole conduit for the highly-prized, extremely rare, cinnamon-scented, fanguy tears that only it can provide!

But when does a fanboy cry?

It seems like a quite unsteady source of trade.

[Bruddajakka]

It's secretly fan girl tears but marketing it as fan guy makes it seem more exotic.

Shhhhhhhh...  We gotta' good thing here, and yer gonna' spoil(er) it!

I never thought I'd ever find myself aboard the Varric fanwagon as I'm more partial to human mages, rogues and seneschals than dwarves, but I must say, Varric has definitely grown on me within the last month or so. Grown ... heh. Yeah, bad joke, I know.

I've read through this thread a few times and just now have the courage to post. I'm more of a lurker, so yeah, I tend to stick to the shadows and just read rather than participate. Hopefully as the time passes, I'll start to break out of my shell and share my thoughts more.

Hm, anyway, I have some thoughts on who might be voicing Varric. You could say the idea came to me suddenly as Harrowmont had me running errands for him. Just as I was about to head off to take care of Jarvia, I stopped dead in my tracks and thought aloud, "I wonder if Robin Sach's is Varric's VA? His American accent as Harrowmont is flawless and his voice matches the description of Varric's (deep and a bit scratchy/gravely--maybe more so as Murdoch, but that was with an English accent)." I would love for this to be true, personal bias aside, of course. I will also add that I was reminded again of Robin Sachs when I heard Varric would be narrating some of the story as Varel did in Awakenings. Oh, and for giggles, look! VAREL<--> VARRIC. The VARs have spoken! So let it be.

Silliness aside, I'm probably wrong as I tend to read WAY too much into some things and the VA is probably not Robin, but still, if it was AND Varric was a confirmed LI, I'd go ahead and forgive Bioware for not making Varel romanceable in Awakenings. ;P

Interesting.

My first mental image strangely enough was of Varric and Oghren teaming up to take the Warden. Hawke and co. on an epic pub crawl of epic epicness.

[Pseudo the Mustachioed]

Fix'd.



Also, @ACWolfe, Robin Sachs is delightful, I wouldn't mind him at all.

[Thandal N'Lyman]

Yeah, totally went to: "Hot-Nug-on-a-Stick" when I saw this, too!

LOL.
That fix was beyond awesome. He was supposed to be sleeping, but I forgot the "ZZZZZZ".
Just a quick drawing, I'll make a better one later.

Personally, I don't think Varric / Oghren would get along. If only because nobody gets along with Oghren.

My Warden got along with him.
Oh, wait. Then Oghren reappeared in Awakening...

I never said anything about them getting along.

There is no doubt they are very different Dwarves, but I can see them being the ringleaders on such a booze fueled 'exalted' march heh, each with their own opinion on what would make it more fun.

Incidentally am I the only one who liked Oghren in Awakening? He is just so wonderfully... Oghren.
