Bianca is dead. :(


It was revealed in the comics. Doesn't really count as spoilers since not in-game or plot central in any way. It was more of a passing mention and a tough moment for Varric to recall.


Actually, no, it never says she died.  All Varric says in the comic is that they didn't escape the Merchant Guild.

I did notice that. But our poor Varric was crying for the first time in the series, and so much time has seemingly passed without her playing any significant role in his life that we know about... I figured it was settled (though super sad.) Image IPB


I don't suppose you'll tell us for sure? Or tell us if we'll eventually be 100% certain whether she's alive, dead, or maimed beyond all recovery?

I'd also, for one, like to know what on earth was happening with the Merchant Guild to make their encounter so risky and their escape so necessary. And how/why Varric ended up working with them again in DAII.

Bianca being dead far worse than horse being dead. Romance dialogue:

Player: "Varric, lets go to bed dear!"
Varric: " Of course hop in!"
Player: "Wait, what is in the way here?"
Varric: "Oh it's just bianca, she always sleeps next to me."
Player: "But between us????"
Varric: "Don't make me choose love muffin, don't make me choose."

You're being silly.

While the events that took place in the comics may or may not (it's really determined by Mr. Gaider's whims, isn't it?) be canon, Varric's memories of the past that are relayed in the comics don't change.

Two of the novels are definitely canon. You're just going to have to deal with it.

I can't tell you what happened. Although I'm hoping eventually you will get Bianca's version of the story...

Well since the lines between reality and the Fade are being blurred in some parts of Thedas, I guess we can't know whether you're hinting that she's alive or whether we'll meet her spirit or an imitation of her. Image IPB Though I may be waaay over-thinking this. I'm just used to the writers *ahem* throwing us sneaky 180's. Image IPB

Would you be able to possibly tell us whether Varric believes she's dead? He did name his crossbow after her after that incident, after all. And thank you for both previous responses! I know you guys must be super busy.

You might get a hint of the answer in Inquisition.

Thanks a bunch, Mary Kirby.  Image IPB  (seriously)


This actually makes me want a Varric romance more than before. If he were to get over her "death" and move on, only to find that he might have been mistaken about Bianca's passing...

I don't usually go for high-drama romances, but that would be some heavy (in a fun way) stuff.

Oh!

Well in that case, if she's still alive then I hope I can reunite them. My Inquisitor can be his wingman!

Wow! I mean... wow! I totally thought her death was a done deal. Thanks for tantalizing us with that!

If there's any justice in this world, Mary would end that night with a crossbow bolt through your leg.

Wait, is the wiki right about the comic saying Bianca making Bianca? I thought Gaven did?

It's almost as if there were more to this.

I think Bianca designed it and Gaven constructed it.

Way to ruin the party. The only reason to play a female dwarf (in my case) was for dat romance.

I, on the other hand, go for high-drama romances like a puppy goes for Milkbones. I would be all over that, my friends, and something tells me it would be a hell of an emotional roller-coaster!

Well if Bianca is in Inquisition , I guess I don't want to romance Varric.
From Until We sleep , I understood they both tried to get away from the Merchant Guild to be together and it failed.

But I never thought she was dead ...not sure if their familly kept them apart or Varric just didn't want to leave everything behind for her (I don't think he's the kind of guy who likes to run away..) , and they just broke up.

I was under the impression Varric was already in a committed relationship.


I could be wrong, but I don't think that was hinted at anywhere...

Two words;
"cocking ring".

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.


Morrigan and Alistair were only heterosexual romances. Was that bigotry?

I support this! Specially if I can romance him as a male. I'm thinking male elf so it'd be like my dwarf wardenxZevran. Maybe that's the save I'll choose to romance him.

Thank you Mary Kirby.
Have a pint on us.
I liked Varric in DA2.
Not interested in romancing him though.

Yes, please! About Varric being an LI.


Definitely I wished for this in DA2. Best character in the whole damn game and I liked the game. Kindof. I hope he is a LI.:wub:
