If you have ever opened up the DA or NWN toolset, we have a dialogue editor. I could never do this job with a regular word document, I would lose my mind.

In the tools, a dialogue file looks sort of like... (well, we'll see if the BB code lets me do this *crosses fingers*)

Root
+(SCRIPTING COMMENT) This is the final conversation about pie.
+(SCRIPTING COMMENT) This is the second conversation about pie.
-(SCRIPTING COMMENT) This is the first conversation about pie.
_____-(VARRIC)  Hey, Hawke, did I ever ask you your thoughts on pie?
____________+(Choice #1)  I hate pie.
____________+(Choice #2)  Pie's okay. I'm more of a cake fan, though.
____________-(Choice #3) PIE IS TEH BEST!!!!
_____________________(VARRIC)  Woah! I mean, I knew everyone liked pie, but that's a little... much, don't you think?


So... clicking on any of the plus signs opens up that branch.  Green lines (In my tools, because I swtich the colors) are NPC lines, and blue ones are player lines.

EDIT: Colors aren't cooperating, but you get the idea. Probably.

I game on consoles so I've been missing out on my technical learnins', but that makes perfect sense. Thank you for wrestling with BBC for my sake

Edit: Also, mm. Cake.

Hm, y'know, I was just looking at the other, less-popular concept art again, and I was wondering...just what exactly is in that case he's got hanging off his belt? Observe:



So what could it be? Something smallish and cylindrical obviously, but a scroll? Map? Spyglass? Flute? I wonder if it's significant to the plot. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN THERE, MASTER TETHRAS?!?

Care to chime in, Mary, if it's not a spoiler?

I think its where Varric keeps your mini-map...

Its blackmail, if you don't take him with on adventures... NO MINIMAP FOR YOU!  MWAHAHAHAHA!

An appearance by Mary! But she didn't tell us what's in the case. I smell plot significance. >

Maybe it's where he keeps the comb of clarity. Or his treasured original manuscript for The Stone Temptress.

Edit: I've got it. It's a Mary Poppins bag... tube... thing. He can keep an infinite amount of stuff in there but only if it's narrow enough to fit in the tube. (How annoying would that be XD)

Honestly I'm not trying to troll or anything but has it been confirmed that Varric is straight? I mean he looks a little gay to me. Definately excentric. Smirks look like "creepy Zervan smirks" and not whatever a good smirk is.



He also has a very weak beard for a Dwarf. If beards are an indication of Dwarven manlyness like I thought the were at least.



And the earings? like the ones on the tops of the ears and stuff. blechh



I just don't quite know about Varric, He could be the Dwarven Zevran.

[mellifera]

Psh, take your arbitrary rules on what determines masculinity elsewhere plz. Also, Zevran was bisexual. If Varric were bisexual I'd be that much more happy

[ErichHartmann]

I have to agree. I imagine Varric loves a good time with anyone.

Uh well if you're going to go ahead and try to determine someone's sexuality based on their physical appearance... ;

Even if any of that was an indicator, he's in a "people business" and probably more progressive in that he's a surface caste dwarf rather than trying to fit into Orzammar's standards. But, a man with above average grooming habits is generally referred to as "metrosexual" and that doesn't mean he's gay.

The only difference between a metrosexual and an homosexual are the first few letters.

Get out. <_<

One's appearance does not determine nor is indicative of one's sexual orientation. Stop stereotyping please.

I was cooking up something snarky but that about covers it.

Lovely new avatar pic btw.

[Xewaka]

But stereotyping is fun!



Besides, metrosexuals commit the gravest sin against Varric: They shave their chest hair. They deserve to be shunned.

Isn't that what everybody is doing? I propose that he looks at least bisexual. Yeah I get your metro reference. Again, I'm not trying to fight with anybody just stating that from what limited info we all have. He seems a little fruity to me.

I see what you mean (Edit: about this thread) but I would say that some people here want him to be bi not because of his appearance but want him to be bi... because he's Varric the Smirky Devil.

Well, he IS a rogue. They do the smirk thing. As to the beard, I don't think we've had any indication that beards=manliness in this universe. I mean obviously beards are very manly but we don't know if they have that fetishistic reverence for them that Tolkieneque dwarves have, where not having one is seen as a deficiency.

Buuut anyway I liked Zevran quite a lot. The impression I'm getting of Varric from Mary is not very Zevran-like, though. Doesn't mean Varric couldn't be gay or bi (I think he's straight, myself), but his personality is not the same as Zev's.

Oh whatever. I could use other term but its like anything when talking about sexuality/color/ethnicity.  You cant say anything right. Everything you say can be looked at as you just being homophobic/racist/xenophobic

[Russalka]

What? He looks like a man of means and of privileged life, coupled with a rogueish demeanor.



If that is "gay", then what is not in your strange little standards?

[lv12medic]

Varric looks a little nuggy to me...

I think that would be more of an insult then a compliment to most people of Thedas.
I would agree that Varric looks a little like a cross between a pig and a rodent though.

Lol yes, having common courtesy and using proper, prefered terminology when referring to people is so hard. Woe is me!

You say you're not trying to troll and yet...

I mean come on, I don't care if people like Varric or not but coming into a thread full of Varric fans and saying how much you dislike him seems like the definition of trolling to me.

If he is an LI, I could see Varric as going either way, tbh. The infamous Brian Bloom/Christopher Meloni racy scenes in OZ doesn't help my equal-opportunity fangirl brain one bit (Oh wait, they do ^o^). Of course, at this point it's just throwing theories around, so only Mary knows fo sho'.

ANYWAY.

Varric peekture tiemz.




Still not quite ready for bed yet, so might sketch a bit more.

You are just trying to rile people up now, aren't you?
