Understandable Leonia, I was hesitant in posting around here again as well. To be honest I've almost given up on actually browing the forum for threads to post in, so full of daft threads as it is. I just keep my eye on my news feed for anything that actually looks interesting heh. This thread is and always has been one of the islands of calm in the ocean of madness though.
I think all the banners are in the OP (with some new ones a few pages back, I'll get the link for you to those). Some of them just don't have the [img] tags in place, but it doesn't take too long to find them as most are labelled as banners.
I doubt I'll ever take his rivalry path as well, he's just too much fun to get along with. If there was a bigger (and more) crisis point(s) for him then maybe I would try it out, but as it is his crisis point comes so late on I'm usually already full friendship with him. Not sure about the Bartrand confrontation, even by then he's usually mostly friendship.
I love the dialogue he has in that Orlesian house as well, classic Varric. I thought the exact same thing as you about the Isabela/Varric dialogue, plus I seem to remember there was some other banter I thought might have been community inspired as well but can't remember which now.
Is there a Varric banner saying 'Stay classy'?
