Glad I can put a name to the (awesome) voice I heard today! Went through the demo twice and now I love Varric even more than before... Brian Bloom really has done a fantastic job.
OMG, spill!

He's already confirmed to be a rogue.Dhiro wrote...
So... I'm the only one who thinks that Varric will probably be a Rogue?

Wow, all I really know him from is Matt Horner / SC2.
I mean, I sure I saw him in Dollhouse and I'm sure I heard his more background characters in some other games, but I only remember Horner.

Have I told you that I love you? I have? Well, let me reiterate:Apollo Starflare wrote...
Not much to add beyond what others have already said but the Varric and Cassandra scene is the stand out moment of the demo for me heh. Their banter is just perfect, I found myself grinning stupidly when she interupts his first telling of the story, and Bloom matches Varric's already awesome animations with a great voice, right down to the little sigh of amusment he gives after winding Cassandra up. Equally his narration of the animated sequence (I'm guessing there could be more of them than just at the start this time? There are two in the demo) is great to listen to, he really does come across as an expert storyteller spinning a wild tale of adventure.
Plus, seen up close Varric looks far from ugly (as many of us expected), he looks quite dashing to me, and while his hair seems blonde the rest is very much in keeping with the concept art. Chest hair included.
I have some more thoughts about what I played but that's pretty much everything Varric-related sadly.

Umm... Well, you know that the CIA, FBI and KGB are all undercover, incredibly well-informed spy operative networks? She's saying that the Varric Think Tank, meaning us Varric Fan peoples, are better than all of them, because we guessed who Varric's Voice Actor is.

I'm probably going to get yelled at by, oh, possibly EVERYONE in this thread, but is there even a remote chance that there will be another character in DA2 other than Hawke himself/herself that will have you all going headless-genlock crazy like this?
[Proceed with the yelling.]
