No, I think it would contribute more to his mystic if he remained unromanceable.


He has mystique?

:D LOL  Ok mystique may be the wrong word...
how about his je ne sais qois ( hope I spelled that correctly )

I'd be happy if we can romance Varric.
I mean in DA2 both guys were bordeline obsessive psycho ...Templars this mage that.
Varric looks like a healthy guy , he's funny ,friendly and cool.
The only problem is Bianca .
But he was like single for 7 years in DA2 , he needs some love.

Though if we can't romance him , I won't cry , but it would be nice for him to have a relationship ...even with another npc (as long as he doesn't cheat on Bianca with another weapon)

I don't care, as long as it doesn't take away from the LIs that are an approximate height for my Inquisitor.

Das Raciss.

Not at all, my complete lack of attraction to short people transcends all racial boundaries.

If other people want a sip of that half-pint, they're free to partake. I just prefer a tall drink of water.

And you call people bigots, just lulz.

That's very close minded and discriminatory.

I am probably the biggest romance nut on here BUT I think Varric should be unattainable unless it's really a powerful, magical moment for the DA series. When Varric finally says "I love you" it will be forever and therefore once he is "hitched" all the people that fawn over him will be disappointed because he is off the market, so to speak. Hope that came across the way I meant it lol.

Only if you play a dwarf PC.


I'm cool with that. 

As am I. Not planning on playing a human anyways, now that Dwarves are an option again.

Plaintiff's choice of words might be a bit questionable, but I'm pretty sure it's OK to have preferences when it comes to romantic partners. That is, unless dishonesty became the foundation of good relationships when I was not looking.

Also, if it's wrong for Plaintiff not to be attracted to Varric because he's short, wouldn't that mean it's discriminatory for Varric not to be into humans?

You missed the point dude. Plantiff has in the past called people bigot for not agreeing with him on s/s stuff even when they did not post anything close to bigotry, yet here's Plantiff posting something that can be seen as bigotry depending on who you ask. That's the issue. He's being a very big hypocrite,

I'm sincerely trying not to get my expectations up too much for this, but the possibility does seem a lot more likely now. So I will just persist in being cautiously optimistic and reiterating that seeing Varric as an LI would be awesome.

 "Something that could be seen as bigotry depending on who you ask." This has to be one of the most wishy-washy attempts at starting an argument over a non-issue as I've seen on these boards.

"I'm not offended, and I don't know how anyone else could be offended, but it could potentially be offensive to someone, and that's why I'm taking offence!"

Plaintiff might be a tad abrasive at times., but Jesus Christ, Mr. House, this is lame. If you really want to argue with the guy, couldn't you just wait five minutes for him to post in another thread?

All right, I've thrown in my two cents. I'll go white knight somewhere else.

You assume I'm offended. I'm not. I simply spotted Plantiff being a hypocrite and posting a really stupid post.

While I'm not into Varric, I wouldn't mind him being a LI for other people. He seems to be popular enough. If the rumor is true about a certain templar, then I already know who i want to romance. :whistle:

I'm actually not so sure about this one. I'd love for him to be romanceable, but I do think that it might somehow feel like a violation of his character. As long as I get to have him in my party, I'm happy. I'll bromance the crap out of that handsome dwarf.

Personally a romance with Varric would take away from his inherent ''magic''.
Something you can't get is more desirable after all.

Jesus Christ, you don't read a single word I say, do you. You just make up my arguments for me. Crack open a dictionary, would you?

Sexual attraction (or the lack thereof) is not bigotry or discrimination, and I made that perfectly clear the last time you brought up this ridiculous strawman.

Providing optional content in a game that explicitly excludes homosexuals (or anyone else, for that matter) is bigotry.

To summarise: Refusing to kiss someone is not bigotry. Arbitrarily barring them from content in a product they purchased is bigotry. See the difference?

There's nothing I can do to dumb this down any further. If you don't get it now, then you're either being deliberately obtuse, or you're a genuinely hopeless case.

"Hypocrisy" is a real word with a real meaning. You can't just apply it arbitrarily to discredit people you dislike.

Making him dwarf exclusive seems like it might overcome some of that violation of character perception.  I doubt Bioware would go this route, however, just because they aren't likely to want to close off content to people who play as other races.

Would be awesome if it was dwarf-exclusive.


This would be a clever way to drive up the numbers of people who play as dwarves XD


My thoughts exactly.

Maybe he'll be like Garrus in that the first game let you warm up to the idea of...him...being awesome and loveable. 

Ugh, I don't what I'm typing here.  Varric is already a well-liked character for being a funny guy, so that could be the fan-service angle they're going for instead of being a LI with his inclusion in Inquisition.  Y'know, that badass bro with the fancy one-liners. 

I personally don't care, but if it makes people happy, that'd be cool.  I like happiness!

Das Raciss.

Futhermore, Bioware should take the progessive step forward and allow for a polygamous Varric-Bianca-Inquistor relationship. (Notice how the PC is the bottom **** in the affair)

Take away an "s" and you've got yourself a rap group.  They're funny :wizard:

Where in that exactly did you lose your Garrus analogy?  That's precisely what Garrus is and Garrus is also an LI.  I don't see why it would have to become mutually exclusive with Varric.

To be fair though, Varric is probably going to be one of the easier characters to 'retcon' in this regard as he's a well known bull****ter within the lore. You can't take everything he says seriously. So if they do make him a multi-race romance option, which would be the smartest way to go if he is available for any kind of romance, they could just go down that route and have him pass his previous statements off as a lark.

It would make me very happy if my lady dwarf Inquisitor (is it too soon for me to name her?) could ride off into the sunset with Varric. Possibly literally, since mounts are now a thing.

I mean, I'll be playing a dwarf regardless, but it would be lovely to be able to have a dwarf LI available for dwarf PCs, something we didn't get in Origins, whereas elves and humans have always been able to romance someone of their own species. (Not that there's anything wrong with interspecies relationships! But it's nice to be able to roleplay characters who do care about that.)

Nah. I'm fine with nearly all of the companions being player-sexual, but I just don't see that with Varric. If Varric could go ten years without showing any interest in Hawke, I don't think he should suddenly fall for the Inquisitor. Just doesn't feel right. He's the ultimate wing man.
