I have to doubt that he'd be into dwarves only as a romance. And if he is only for dwarves, I would have to wonder of the work/reward balance of making him straight only.
Unfortunately I don't expect Varric to be a romance either way Hope I'm wrong.
I don't think it's really comparable to ptsd, since people don't get addicted to ptsd. I think it might be more of a sort of crippling drug addiction if we're comparing it to anything.
Maybe he just wasn't into Hawke. Aveline spent even longer with Hawke and married someone else. Just because your best friends with someone doesn't mean you're going to become romantic with them.
A Qunari! I have this whole gender flipped Beauty and the Beast scenario worked out in my head.
Yeah, I've had plenty of male friends in my lifetime. A majority of them weren't into me at all.
I am usually a fan of dorfies (my first DAO playthrough was one of the Dwarf origins) but I might try for femQunari for a change.
I think he'll be a romance option for dwarves while Iron Bull can be romanced by qunari, human and elf!Quizzies. If I'm right, though, he'll most likely be bi. Would anyone have a problem with that? I wouldn't, but I know some people were bothered by Anders being a LI for both genders when he only expressed an interest in girls in Awakening.
I favoured Zevran over Alistair back in DAO and even in real life, if I were to meet someone bi, I would have no qualms going into a serious relationship with him.

Spoiler
Bisexuality means I can try out double penetration, YAY!
In all seriousness, I am actually straight as an arrow, but I am a huge supporter of the porn industry and a softcore model myself, I am comfortable enough in my heterosexuality to "play" with various genders if it's for the camera

That's alright I'm sure Aimo's other "one size fits all" pic has been posted everywhere about a billion times, so it's cool.
You know come to think of it, Varric's gotta either be BI or spread out to other races if he is an LI, I mean I've always only pictured him with a female dwarf but that's an awful lot of writing for a romance that'll only be accessible by about 1.25% of people.
Also I noticed that Varric's been removed from most of the fun parties, they called one of his teams "Grim Determination" in the twitter thread. I'm not sure whether this says something about what Varric will be like in this game, or what our other companions will be like. Could just be that we have a lot more fun people this time around, or it could be that Varric's gotten a good deal more solemn since DA:II. I wouldn't mind either circumstance. Unlike Anders we actually got to see some of Varric's character development in DA:II and the comics, him turning into a more solemn character feels far more natural, and won't make me love him any less.

After everything that's happened, it makes sense. And I'd still love Varric regardless. He was my favorite character of DA II and maybe tied with Morrigan for my favorite character of DA in general!
And someone mentioned the Red Lyirum, I hope they mention it especially if you let Varric have it. I have maybe once or twice, but I'd like to see whats up with that, and how they'd explain it if they touch it in this game.
I have a feeling that they're going to keep all the good stuff/info on Varric until the game is released, I am assuming that he plays an integral role in the videogame because Mary Kirby has stayed out of the thread the entire time.
The last time she was here (before DA2 released) she accidentally leaked/confirmed Brian Bloom as VO

Hahaha, She probably lurks on our Varric Thread to see the Varric love is still strong ;P

Yeah, Varric wasn't allowed anywhere near that in my main game, though I'm a little bit worried about what he'll be like around Red Lyrium in this game... I usually don't like benching companions, especially companions I'm fond of, but Varric might be getting a few days off whenever a Red Templar mission pops up.
Though, then again, my Inquisitor might not know about his weakness to red lyrium, she might take him along figuring he'd be more useful useful against Templars than the mage companions.
I'm not concerned in the slightest about Varric as a LI. I want one mission with Varric, Hawke, and as many of the Kirkwall gang as can reasonably be gotten back together. Because no matter how cool Varric and my Inquisitor are as a duo of destruction, Varric and my Hawke were brothers from different mothers.
He's so popular I imagine if they wanted to make him a LI they'd make him available to as many people as possible. I tend to take him saying he's not into humans with a grain of salt. He lies a lot, and they did have the, "Don't worry, I didn't tell her about us," line, which while cut, suggest they were thinking about it. He's so popular I imagine if they didn't make him a LI they'd have to buy a fortifed island covered in razor wire and bear traps to keep rioting fans away.

Haha, yeah I wouldn't say I was concerned. I want it to happen, sure. But I am also in the camp of "It's not going to happen ".
I also would LOVE That. Isabela, Hawke, and Varric must return together for me.
Nah, this one isn't very long or anything. We can wait a while before we need another thread.
Actually, you might want to get one restarted now, so you guys can keep up with the other character threads. Like adding links to the interview and new pictures to the OP. If someone asks Allan, he could get it set up for you. I'm the OP of the Sera thread and I've already got my hands full updating her images and such, otherwise I'd gladly do it.

<----Unashamed Varric fangirl.
I agree it might be best to start a new one. Our OP hasn't been here for a while it seems and we are falling behind.
I'm willing to be the new OP of the Varric thread...but...I am going on vacation for two weeks in August where the only internet access I'll have is over my phone...so I don't know if I'm the best choice.

Two weeks in August isn't too bad. The OP here hasn't updated in months, and I would be happy as a poster to send you links via PM to any new info or art while you're away.

That would be so sweet of you.
I need to log off for the night but I'll check back tomorrow night and see about restarting this here Varric Appreciation Fest.
