The other companions better be downright amazing because I'm having a hard time picturing other people with an awesome quotient higher than Varric's.

So many delicious factoids *w* Buhhh my Buddy Comedy DA2 playthrough just got so much better in my head. I may have let slip a fraction of a fangirl squeal. Maybe. (If the tears are responsible for the coffee, where do the ear-splitting squeals go?)



Thanks for saving the thread, Mary!

Really. This thread needs to die.

So does he run a shop (with a back room full of shady things) or smuggle transport goods or something or is that a spoiler? I hope he has minions. He seems like a guy who should have minions.

Varric has... well, he wouldn't call them minions. He'd say "contacts." or "People." He's the younger son in the Tethras family: His older brother is the head of the family and runs what could be called a small financial empire. They don't have a shop. They invest in shops. Officially, Varric is an idle younger brother in a wealthy household who spends most of his time hanging out in taverns telling wild stories while other people buy him drinks. Unofficially, he maintains a spy network with contacts throughout all levels of the city so he can quietly deal with the assassination attemps, scandals, and campaigns of industrial espionage that come along with being a family in the Dwarven Merchants Guild.

So...he's the spymaster for his family?  That's completely excellent!!

So I'm guessing we're going to head on over to the tavern when we want Varric in our party. That is, if we ever take him out of our party in the first place.

Y? Gives me a laugh and it allows some of the more creative members of the community a chance to shine. Or shine brighter in Aimo's case...

Oh he can take a page from Oghren and carry a pack full of booze. Or use his Summon Bartender ability.

You know what I think? I think you may be required to illustrate this.

Pffft I'll see if I can squeak it in before school gets too crazy. I may have accidentally come up with something funny.

Which shadier elements? If you asked Varric, (and depending somewhat on the day of the week) he would probably tell you that the Dwarven Merchants Guild was every bit as cutthroat and criminal (if not moreso) as any thieves' guild in Kirkwall. But he might be slightly biased.

I can't... tell if this is a tease or not.

No, that was serious. Okay, well, mostly serious. Varric is in the Dwarven Merchants Guild, but they are the bane of his existence.  

So, Varric is a mod of an online forum?

This thread makes me want to draw a Varric of my very own. I was randomly thinking earlier what I would dress him in if I were going to put him in modern clothes. I was thinking of how to costume a bunch of DA characters this way, actually. Anders would be in a kilt or a kimono

The summon bartender ability would also get him drunkz.



So it'll change his style like the drunken master did in JE.

I may. I've been sapped for energy and disinclined to draw lately (T-T). I've got a half-finished Sten and he's staring at me very disapprovingly.

@Anarya: Awr. He disapproves with love, though... deep down inside. Deep, deep down.

Welcome to the club. Waiting for DA:O to come out in 2009 was excruciating with every new info that trickled in

[Jarek_Cousland]

Yea luckily for me I didnt get into DA:O until like a month AFTER it was released.

He sounds like Silk from The Belgariad.
