For those wishing a Varric spoiler.....

*SPOILER*








From GI magazine. Hawke stumbles into a chance meeting with Varric, brother to the dwarven explorer Bartrand. With the darkspawn retreting, Bartrand is about to lead an expidtion into the deep roads and wants Hawke to join him. Varric can guarantee a spot - in exchange for a bit of coin.
That's all it mentioned about Varric, sadly. And not necessarily that spoilerific








*END SPOILER*

Well, in liking a dwarven character and dwarves in general, oftentimes the sense of humor comes with a bit of defensiveness attached. It's kinda difficult to always be funny and jokey all the time when what you genuinely do like (even if you don't take it as srsbzns) is constantly belittled as disgusting or weird or whatever. Especially when it is just based on a physical attributes that are also found commonly amongst humans in real life, and that much more when that opinion pervades the entire forums and player base and even the dev team. No one loses anything by a handful of people liking a dwarf character while those who like dwarves and dwarf characters do when people say they find dwarves disgusting or refuse to play as them. Sometimes it's difficult to keep your mouth shut, and of course you're gonna look like you take yourself super seriously when you're trying to defend yourself and get a point across. But I don't blame people for having preferences, as preferences are often influenced by larger social issues and I don't want to get into that.

So yes, there's a bit of snark laced with defensiveness, but for the most part we don't really take ourselves seriously and geniunely like and want to talk about Varric as a character despite not being able to shtup him. I think our reaction as a group has been evidence enough of that. Anyone is welcome here, just saying why sometimes people respond the way they do when Varric in particular is insulted.

Oh oh. I just thought of a question I can find no answer too.

Who has more "concentrated manliness", Varric or Oghren?

Oghren is a true redhead. There should be no need to ask such question.

Sorry. Just working off an ice cream buzz.

Wait. Snark? We snark in style, baaaaabay! Here's a beginner's guide to dwarven snarks for those who need a crash course!

You've been waiting for an excuse to post these again for a long time, admit it!

Though, I do think that surfacers use different expressions. *wonders if they'll use any of the old dwarven*

Hee hee.  :innocent:

I CANNOT wait to see what insults surface dwarves have for their Orzammar brethren. The insults for surface dwarves that I recall are "cloud-addled" and "sun-touched." It will be interesting to see what they have to say about those who remain underground.

I bet if I cheat and give myself money through the console Varric will pick up on it. That bastard.

[Gilsa]

So. I guess no buying pretty baubles until after I meet Varric just to make sure I can afford him. =p

Varric: This money is a bit glitchy. And you aren't supposed to have this much money yet.
Hawke: It's, uh... a gift from the Maker.
Varric: Likely story.

Varric's chest hair is FULL OF SECRETS!!!

I've never been able to figure out how to use the console. I guess I'll just have to get coin the old fashioned way, "Me love you long time!"

Aww, that's hard. Varric certainly looks the part, but...Oghren drinks, is gassy and doesn't like sharing feelings. Isn't that the picture of manhood? XP

Also, on a totally random note, but still Varric related, my friend and I got into an argument about chest hair, and its attractiveness on Varric, I was for it she was sadly not. Anyway she posted a coment, Is chest hair sexy, on her facebook page since I don't have one, and it sparked a massive (50+ people)argument about chest hair (Varric would be so proud) and ended with the general consensus that it is sexy. The power of Varric's chest hair knows no bounds.
Edit: I figure now is as good a time as ever to de-lurk for good since I have been following Varric threads since page 1 of the original

Now isn't that a great use for facebook polls or what? Sweet vindication TwT

And welcome! To you and all the new faces in the thread

Heck, even Brandon Keener is impressed by Varric's chest hair. That's Garrus' seal of classy approval right there.

VARRIC TETHRAS: Even "Garrus" Approves


Why hasn't this been added to the Calibrations thread already...??? Somebody has gotta do it! (Imagine my squees when Keener replied!!!! To me!!!!)

Also, I think that headline makes a good banner.

Other banner suggestions (based on "Garrus"'s comment):
VARRIC TEHTHRAS: His chest radiates manliness

The links are THFW (Too Hawt For Work) and perhaps NSFW as well.

I want it for my m!Hawke, no matter he is a warrior/rogue/mage.

Now I'm wishing for a Dwarven Love DLC or DA3 inclusion or Varric romance mod or just flirting option....

It seems I have wished too much 

[namedforthemoon]

I'm still wondering if talented people will make some more Varricmance banners for DA3. So I can add them to the OP, of course.

Erm... Can't post in those forums for obvious reasons... Help me please..?

Oh and more classic goodness.

Me: Hey, Varric, you've got to see this thread on the forums. It's pretty much entirely about your chest hair.

Varric: Kirby, what exactly are you telling these people?

Me:
I... uh... may have suggested, vaguely, that your chest hair is a force
of nature capable of curing lepers and restoring sight to the blind.

Varric:
Not bad, not bad... but you can do better than that. Tell them that
I once defeated a High Dragon just by opening my shirt! Maybe insinuate
that my chest is part of a secret cabal in Tevinter. Come on! Be a
little more imaginative!

Me: *takes notes* What do you think of the fan art?

Varric: It's not bad, but they got my bad side.

Me: Wait, which one is your good side?

Varric: No, I'm just messing with you. Every side of me is awesome.

Me: They're really worried that your chest hair in-game won't live up to the hype.

Varric:
You can't blame them for this, Kirby. These folks have been suffering
under a chest hair shortage for years now. Decades, even.  I mean, it's
putting a lot of pressure on me to lead them out of the Desert of
Hairlessness and into the promised land, but I'll live with that. I'm
taking one for the team so that Hawke can go do that hero thing or
whatever without carrying this heavy burden.

Me: That's a noble sacrifice.

Varric: Yeah. I'm just that kind of guy, what can I say?

Ahhh.... Good times:)

Ultimately Oghren is insecure.  Varric, though we do not know him, does not strike me as such.  Therefore, Varric is the answer.

Golly, TriviaAeducan thank you!

I, uh, wanna be more friendly and less lurky with my Varric love. >:3
