NEW VARRIC THREAD OVER HERE<====Click me

Update: Yes, Varric is not an LI, along with Aveline. That being said, it doesn't mean we can't flirt with either of them, unless a dev tells us otherwise... And then there's the interest of bringing Varric back for DA3. Now let's look forward to that and keep on campaigning, people.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THIS THREAD IS UNDER RENOVATION; RIGHT NOW WHAT YOU SEE IS JUST A BETA EDITION.

Cute!

UPDATE! Varric character page and wiki...

Varric is voiced by Brian Bloom (Leske/Dwyn in DAO) -source-
(thanks to namedforthemoon for throwing in the idea! and other Varric worshippers who gave offerings to Mary Kirby)

Varric uses a crossbow...called Bianca.

Let's Talk about Varric!
...as a Love Interest

Well,
I seem to recall David Gaider saying at one point that he would like to
write a dwarf romance, and I know that we have some very dedicated
dwarf players among the Origins fans, a lot of whom said they would
really like a dwarf LI.

Seeing as Varric is by far the most
attractive dwarf we've yet seen (in my opinion anyway), and probably
spends a good amount of time with Hawke, I think he might be a romance
option. Now, we all know you can't play as a dwarf in DA2, but would you
still want a dwarven LI anyway? If you, like me, typically don't play
dwarf characters in fantasy games, would you be into a dwarf LI?

How
about Varric specifically as an LI option? He looks like a manly,
dashing rogue type of character. I mean look at all the hair on his
chest and that bling. He kind of looks like a pirate (and pirates are
cool, come on*). Granted we don't know much about him, but what do you
think? Would you or wouldn't you?

*disclaimer: I don't think he actually is a pirate.

Varric was born in Kirkwall. His family was noble before they became
skyers. He is, therefore, a merchant prince among the surface dwarves.
And that's probably all I can tell you about him for now. ~Mary Kirby

We can discuss all things Varric here people (that includes his chest hair, how he pwns everything, etc)
As tempting as it is, try not to play around with Dave and his missing beard, but (I guess) you can if Varric plays a part, k?? Original thread here.... (be warned) :devil:

*sidequestion from the interview: Was Gaider mistaken when he said Varric likes Nutella and Hawke likes vegemite? My entire Hawke thread is based off Nutella. ><*

Hawke's sandwich spread preferences are entirely determined by the player. You can choose from Nutella, Vegemite, or butter on our innovative new Sandwich Wheel*.

*There is no innovative new Sandiwich Wheel. Sandwiches could never be put on a wheel. That's just impossible.

I liked it when he implied that he liked being snarky on the forums.

You couldn't tell by reading his posts? I've noticed nerdrage posts are prime Gaider-bait.

Seriously... haven't I told you guys that he feeds on your sweet, sweet tears of anguish and rage? They are delicious. I'm pretty sure he has outright admitted this in the past. No need for implications.

Well, seeing as how Sten and Loghain were kinda stoic, I'm guessing someone who is a bit more lively.

Yeah. I jumped at the chance to write Varric so that I could have a character who actually wanted to talk to the player. Nice change of pace.

So Mary. What type of wine does Varric prefer? A nice Zinfandel? Perhaps a Cabernet Sauvignon? Merlot? Syrah? I picture him as a red kinda guy.

Reds from Montsimmard in Orlais.

Oh, if you're still there, Mary do you know if they've changed Varric's face model between Gamescom and now? He looks a little different but I don't know if it's just seeing him in motion that's making the difference.

The model hasn't changed, as far as I know. However, the lighting has changed in that room and on him specificially a couple of times.

Poor Varric. If it weren't for the fact that he is completely and utterly incorrigible, he'd probably start to feel objectified by all the people staring at his chest hair.

He's confirmed as a rogue, too. But that's old news, huh.

Varric prefers it if you refer to his class as, "legitimate businessman."

Varric: Hey, Halfpint!

Me: You're calling me short?

Varric: If the boot fits... Anyway, we need to have a little chat.

Me: I don't know if it's weirder that you just made fun of my height, or that you're instigating an interview. Fire when ready, Master Tethras.

Varric: So, I've been reading these forums of yours, and I can't help but notice... that guy cosplaying me? He's got a sweet leather recliner. While I am bruising my bottom on a big stone chair.

Me: Varric... I can't hook you up with a La-Z-Boy. You have to take that up with level art. And probably Mike. Somehow, I don't think they're going to approve you kicking back in a leather recliner for all those dramatic cutscenes. I mean, I'd find that awesome, but...

Varric: No, no, no. I'm not asking for a recliner. That's completely unreasonable. I was thinking more along the lines of some cushions for this stone monstrosity. Maybe suede.

Me: I'll file a bug.

Varric: Thanks, Halfpint! While you're at it, see if you can't get me a better vintage wine to smirk over. Being flippant in the face of a Chantry interrogation is hard work, after all.

Me:... Maker, what have I created here?

And who mentioned the donut-necklace before? I second his/her question. What's with the donut?

Everyone's got to have a necklace or scarf or collar or something to cover the seam where the neck of their model meets the body. Why Varric's takes the form of a golden donut on a chain, I am not entirely certain. I like to imagine he got that thing as a gift from one of his aunts or uncles, and he wears it so that he doesn't run into them and get asked, "Why aren't you wearing that necklace I gave you for your naming day? Didn't you like it?" "Yes, Aunt Brigid, I love it. I just... misplaced it. Darn. Look at that! Forget my own head next."

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?

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.

But should a surface dwarf return to Orzammar, would (s)he be better off (or the same) than the Casteless in Dust Town or would they just deny them entry? And how would a higher-ranked surfacer be treated amongst the dwarves of Orzammar?

Related note: Bhelen as King allows Casteless to fight in the Deep Roads for their people, does this also apply for Surfacers?

Man, there are a lot of questions here.

1. A surface dwarf who returns to Orzammar is better off than a casteless from Dust Town, if only because the surfacer probably has money and the business connections to keep making money, and the duster doesn't.

B. When there's any kind of trouble in Orzammar, they do just shut the gates and deny even the surface dwarves entry.

iii. The social ranks of the surfacers aren't worth a bronto's behind to their Orzammar counterparts, however, again, rank generally means connections. If you played the dwarf noble origin, (or remember some of the other Orzammar quests involving the nobles) a lot of Noble caste houses have family -- cousins, nieces, nephews, distant relatives, but still in their House -- who go to the surface to conduct trade. It's a large part of where the nobles get their wealth, even if they don't like to acknowledge it.

d) Bhelen might let the surfacers fight for Orzammar, but most of them don't want to anyway. Varric, for instance, was born topside, has never set foot in Orzammar, and considers himself a citizen of Kirkwall. He'd be much more inclined to fight for Kirkwall, or the Free Marches, than for the dwarven kingdom.

Edit: To clarify, "surface caste" is the more polite term that Noble and Merchant caste member use, typically when referring to family who have gone topside. It's not a caste. Hence why I stuck it in quotes.

So hm. Can dwarves not have children with other races then? It makes me wonder why they haven't just intermarried with human society if dwarves like Varric are virtually no different from anyone else. Have they not been present on the surface for long, is it taboo, or are they just insular maybe?

Well, for one thing, dwarves have enough trouble with fertility rates when they're breeding with other dwarves. With humans or elves the odds drop to "miniscule." For the other, there's still a lot of family and caste based politicking that goes on among surface dwarves, and they frequently marry strategically, much like their Orzammar kin.

But why are these fertility rates miniscule in your scientific opinion?

You know, maybe it's not healthy to live underground in a single population for generation after generation right on top of a pool of lava? You'd think breathing in the fumes from that would maybe have something to do with it...

So how do things work among the shadier elements of surface Dwarf society? Men of Honor? Or typical Thieves Guild?

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. They're much like the Assembly in Orzammar, only they don't weild political power. Not directly, at least. Varric hates sitting through meetings.
