The veil breaks over the Inquisition base; Morrigan, Leliana, and Cullen are all in danger, and you can only save 2.

Cullen, bye bye.

 

But if in Inquisition is at least a little better...Leliana take his place.

 

by the way, I hate sacrifice my characters and companions. expecially when there isn't a way to prevent it. One of the funny thing about replayng a game is tryng to find differents outcomes. That's why the suicide mission in ME2 was great. What would happen to X character if I decide to not do (or doing bad) his personal mission, or sending him to do a different thing during the final mission?

 

I liked Mordin's departure in ME3. I must admit. I would have loved to save him. But him ending up on that elevator is the consequence of previous choices I've made. I can't say the same for Thane. Or Legion.

 

I believe a inavoidable death make the death of the character/companion a way to devalue the fact. ME3 endings are devalued because I can't have a really different outcome for my characters. The first time can give feels, but the second or third time is just boring angst.

And a death that's the consequence of a choice have the guilt bonus for the moment to give even more emotional impact. I felt incredibly guilty when I lost some companions on my first ME2 run.

BUT they also stated Leliana was not a DAI option because her story had already been told, been there/done that. Now we didn't really scratch too deep with Varric in DA2 (in my opinion) but he also had a comic exposing his past so that could also be taken into consideration... 

Anders was in Awakening as a companion, but he still turned out to be an LI in DA2.

[Tootles FTW]

That's also true, and I think there's a chance that DA2 Varric and DAI Varric might have some significant differences...just the fact that he seems to dislike Iron Bull lets me know he might have some un-addressed issues.  And certainly Garrus didn't suffer from player-fatigue when we got him again in ME2 (same with Tali).  Fingers crossed.

Now that's an interesting quote. I didn't realize Varric even believed in the Maker.

Well, he certainly holds no reverence for the Ancestors or the Stone, and his swears often involve the Maker or Andraste.

[AlleluiaElizabeth]

 

Now that's an interesting quote. I didn't realize Varric even believed in the Maker.

 

 

I don't think that necessarily indicates that he does. But he was raised on the surface, among Andrastians. We know he likes the Chantry and the priests. He described them as "sweet old grandmothers".  So maybe? It will be interesting hearing his opinions on these types of things. 

 

Also, what thats1evildude said.

 

Varric could also just reference it, not out of belief in the maker specifically, but b/c its part of the culture around him. A lot of people say "Oh my God" without either believing in God or having a specific idea of what God they're referencing.

[PrayingMantis]

I could imagine him believing "kind of" in the maker, but not being too religious. It's like being the child of parents who are officially christians, but who don't go to church at all.

[mlgumm]

I always thought of him as agnostic and just saying stuff like "Andraste's knickers!" because he grew up hearing it as a mild swear the same way I use "hell" and "damn" but am not a Christian. But his quote there implies belief that the Maker is up to something. I was just a bit surprised, that's all.

He could just be saying that ironically. People talk about Armageddon and the Apocalypse without being Christian all the time; in context, people are probably talking about the Fade opening being the Maker's work; knowing Varric, this was likely a retort.

[Evindell]

Or he could be saying it in reference to another character's line.

 

If a character's line was something like, "This is all the Maker's plan."

 

Then Varric mentioning the Maker would just be in acknowledgment of what someone else said, and not necessarily expressing belief in the Maker.

Dwarves talk about Andraste all the time.

Well, parts of her, at any rate.

Very true

Interesting that they chose this image to "introduce" Varric, rather than on of his more badass poses seen in other trailers. Could be saying a little something about what direction they want to take the character, or at least how PR wants to represent that direction.

Maybe this is the first mental state we see him in?

[mlgumm]

It's also been a major promotional image from the trailers, kind of like how Sera trailing her fingers through the field is. I wouldn't be surprised if they chose it because that's the most first-time players have seen of him.

[Pevesh]

I hope them posting that image is an indication they'll be posting an interview about Varric just like with the other companions. The posting of the other companions' images was usually followed shortly thereafter by an interview and I'm curious to see how much and in what direction Varric has changed since DA2. On one hand I'm kind of excited about seeing a new side of Varric - because "Yay! Character development!" and complexity is always good - but on the other I'm also sort of nervous because I loved Anders in Awakening but his character change in DA2 was quite extreme. We'll probably have to wait until the game is out to really get an idea of how different he is, though.

Well, Varric seems to be more actively involved now, rather than being simply there for profit or to have stories to tell- What happened in Kirkwall with the Qunari then the Templars and Mages really affected him. I think he'll still be his cheeky self, but there's going to be alot more he takes seriously.

Believe is strong word, I don't Varric is religious by any stretch of the imgination. Hell some of his deal with Andranstes T&A so...he believes somewhat like any surfacer just don't be surprised if blurts out "Keep it in the Chantry"

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping, that he's just more willing to speak his mind and stand up for those that need to be defended. In DA2 he didn't often speak out against Hawke. Part of me was just worrying they might do an Anders again, but I suppose I should have more faith in Varric.

This is amazeballs.

Is it me or Fem!Qunari/Varric is the current popular pairing at the moment?

[Vaseldwa]

I was wondering, is varric actually going to use the dagger on his back? Is it his own special murder knife?  Does it have a name too?   and what is that circle shaped case for?   Does it have a purpose?   Or are they both merely decorative?   

What does everyone think?    (oh and bioware feel free to give hints  )

[Mukora]

The circle-shaped case is probably a container for his crossbow bolts.

It should be popular as it's borderline illegal in how adorable they look together.
