That's a possibility. I'd think the rivalry would be a bit more 'mages don't suck.' That way it could be tied to the larger plot of the game wherein 'getting tortured and branded with lyrium is awesome!' might be hard to work into a series of quests.tmp7704 wrote...

I'd have to know what his friendship/rivalry hook was.
rivalry: oh well yeah, so maybe getting filled with lyrium stung a bit but look how better off you're now... elf.
Yes, it is likely; i just thought it'd extend into argument that his alteration are actually beneficial, similar how you can go all "whoa whoa whoa sign me up" when you hear about the golem production business in DAO from Caridin.Maria Caliban wrote...

I get what you're saying on the "people don't want to romance a dwarf" analysis, but I don't get the impression that the writers care if players have hang-ups about specific characters. Their replies are often: "So? Don't romance him/her then." The real question is whether or not Mary Kirby was up to the challenge of making a LI out ofWynne wrote...
You might be right about that in most cases. But the thing that made me hesitate is not prejudice, but the fact that dwarves in general remind me a bit of my dad. My dad's got chest hair and is kinda stocky, with some muscle on him but some roundness in places... he's tall, but there's just something sort of dwarven about his frame. I love my father, but guys who remind me of him don't go on my list of romances.Calla S wrote...
As it stands, Aveline is more likely a male LI than Varric is a female one. Why? Because people can't look past their prejudices and romance a dwarf. There quite literally is no other reason. I've often said that if Varric was an elf or a human, people would be hoping and wishing and jumping up and down for an opportunity to romance him. As it stands, that hasn't happened. 'Cause he's a dwarf.
However, Varric is different enough from the average dwarf (read: better-looking, more suave and charming, more fun, more interesting; Mary Kirby's fine writing + Brian Bloom's sublime voice = indisputable awesome) that though he wouldn't be my #1 choice for LI, he's on my wish list and if he were available, I would most assuredly romance him at some point. And if I liked him best in comparison with the others, he might even be my first romance in DA2.
I still think he's entirely possible--it's just, I don't recall Mary Kirby writing a romance before in this series. This time she wrote Varric and Merrill, according to the wiki, though... maybe Merrill has no romance, contrary to how it seemed, but it's just as possible that either or both are available. We'll just have to see.

Fenris should speak binary.

^ Writers are still bound by marketing.
If the public doesn't like dwarf romances, the directors will tell them to not do that.
You're right -- had a brain fart. I meant to say Merrill instead of Aveline.Maria Caliban wrote...

Mary wrote Varric. Lukus wrote Aveline.
Some basic premise which makes the character contribute in some way to the story, sets up why the character acts the way they do and makes a writer want to actually write about this particular character, from what i gather.Uhh.. Jonah wrote...
What are people talking about when they say 'Hook'? Like a twist? A secret they have?

It might create tension with my mage PC.Minxie18 wrote...
Lol, if the friendship path with Fenris really involves mage bashing I would imagine that might create some tension with Bethany (assuming you can only get the anti-mage dialogue options if you play warrior/rogue.... unless we can somehow play a self-hating mage?)
Unless it's, you know, the good kind of tension.
