I just can't imagine (in my head) somebody who goes to the bar drinking and then when he's threatened, pulls out a crossbow / bow and starts shooting the enemies. I imagine more them having a dagger under their coat ready to pull out and stab the person.


Dave, my fellow Canadian, you're thinking about it all wrong...think of a certain George Lucas directed movie from 1977.  Picture Varric, exuding confidence, chest hair in all it's magnificent glory, simply leaning back and drinking wine as someone starts to accost him in a bar...Varric simply starts trying to talk his way out of the situation, being seemingly nonchalant about the whole thing, when all of a sudden his opponent has a small crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest or neck and the guy falls down dead at Varric's table.  Varric puts away his concealed mini-crossbow, stands up, tosses a sovereign to the barkeep and tells him "sorry about the mess"


instead of a mini-crossbow, i see him using a throwing knife at the opponent from under the table

So... As long as Sten introduced the Qubari, as a male soldier in a cage and such... Everything was your ground? Sten could've been a wise-cracking comedian? (if Gaider didn't tell you to rewrite).


What do you mean could have been? He totally was a wisecracking comedian! (For a qunari.)

We had the outlines of qunari culture already. I filled in a lot of the details for them and him as I wrote Sten, but Sten was supposed to be, more or less, an absolutely typical qunari warrior.


Whatever he was, he turned out to be my favorite character. Gratz on your writing ;)

I'm Commander Yuki and this is my favorite thread on the BSN forums. (Don't ask what I am a commander of, I don't know).

As for crossbows, maybe Varric could McGuyver a couple of baby crossbows and load them up with little poisoned bolts or something? He could shoot people indiscreetly from his coat, lmao.

EDIT: Crap, ninjad for being so slow and not refreshing. I still want a dozen of these little dudes.

I personally hope Varroc is a melee rogue. :P Dual wielding axes nonetheless! ;)

Unofficial and contested Commander of the legions of Alistair fangirls?

And minicrossbows drow style? :-P  That would be awesome.

Suddenly, I want Varric to have a crossbow that fires other crossbows, each of which launches a guy playing electric guitar.

This sounds like an 80s hair metal music video from hell.

And it's wonderful.

Will the guitars shoot things, reminiscent of Desperado?

I'm gone for one day and the forum grows with 10 pages and the first thing I read is this:

when did we pass Crazyville on the awesome journey of Varric discussions? Posted Image  but I would purchase DA2 at least two times if that was Varrics weapon of choice. Posted Image

...and guitar summons griffons that in turn shoot lightning out of their butts?
Anyway, since you already doing exaggeration parts, why not include it in one of those for real? And then Cassandra goes on like "Oh, come on! You won the battle with a crossbow that fired what? And what's a "guitar", you nutter?"

Hm, interesting... Normal and exaggerated weapons. Fantasy: sword sucking enemy souls, reality: sword smelling of cat ******.

All of a sudden, a character by the name os Schim Taeffer pokes his head into the interrogation and says "this sounds awfully familiar."  Varric looks up from his latest gulp of wine and says "yeah, my brother was cheap and got me the game for my naming ceremony a while back"

I can only remember one dwarven rogue from DAO, Leski, and he was using DW by default. I too have a hard time picturing a dwarf running around with a bow. But anything is possible with Varric.


This is from pages ago, but I've been at work. :pinched:

I have no problem imagining a Dwarf running around with a bow after playing through as an Archer with my Dwarf Noble, my Lady Aeducan looks fearsome wielding a bow. :devil:  That said I have been imagining Varric as a dual wielder, it's just natural for a Rogue who looks like him. I'd actually kinda like to see him break with what is expected somewhat and use crossbows, especially if the Archery has improved as they have suggested. That said we presumably get Varric early enough that we'll have some control over his ability development, maybe.

*goes back to continue catching up on missed pages* -_-

This should happen. In fact, it probably already is.

Crossbows can be hidden in various packs a traveler or a merchant might carry around!



Some crossbows aren't that big, you know.

Ah, those awkward moments during conversations
"Hey, Varric, is this a dagger in your pocket or you're just happy to see me?".

It's probably just a dagger.



If Varric is LI, I want him to start flirting straight away. But not like Zevran, that bicce.
