 I just don't get why so many people liked varric. It's not that I did not like him it's that he was so damn boring. His crossbow thing was so useless and he did nothing interesting. So why did they bring him back. My favorite characters were sten and morrigan. 

[Secretlyapotato]

You think Varric is more boring than Sten??

[Degenerate Rakia Time]

They brought him back because his chesthair looks even more manly with Frostbite 3

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Because somebody got to hold a crossbow.

Not another unnecessary Varric thread.
I liked him but I wasn't enarmored of him.
Bioware chose him to kind of tie things together in the transition from DA2 to DAI.

This is what I was thinking as well.
He pretty much saw everything and has close ties w/Hawke. Maybe he might talk about her/him in DA:I and her/his decisions.
Varric's pretty cool

It's because Varric is a funny, charming raconteur who dresses fashionably. Sten just says "No" 99% of the time.

I'm being partially snarky there. For the record, I actually liked Sten quite a bit, and I'd like to see him again. However, he went back home and has no reason to come back short of a new qunari invasion.

Varric, on the other hand, is a returning companion whose presence is at least understandable. That's because Cassandra effectively had him in custody in DA2 while she interrogated him and had him tell his story. I think she may have kept him on a short leash after that (possibly to help search for Hawke?), or he decided to stick around after being released from interrogation.

That crossbow thing has a name, and was one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and Varric was nowhere being boring.

[Volourn]

Varric is one of the best video game characters evar. If one doesn't know why they are a lost cost and should stick with silly losers like that deranged 'ranger' moran or that kobold freak.

The red lyrium stuff is supposed to be explored in DAI as well. He's also a member of the Merchant Guild and run a spy network, two things that the Inquisitor will need.

I see plenty of reasons for him to show up again.

[sandalisthemaker]

It has more to do with his personality than his combat ability.

This^

Also, lets not forget that Varric has alot of contacts in Thedas which makes him a very useful guy if they need info. He also makes an excellent diplomat, so more reason to have him join the Inquisition.

[NoForgiveness]

Because he looks pretty ba in that armor in the fires above trailer.

[Mummy22kids]

I think it's because he's a neutral party.

[TheInquisitor]

Because he is the one character that no one can hate... And if you say you do hate him, you are wrong.

[IC-07]

I didn't like Varric. Rarely took him as a party member. Nothing special about him.

[Direwolf0294]

Because he's the charming rogue, and a lot of people like that character archetype.

[Texhnolyze101]

I don't understand it either i don't care for his existence.

[Zeldrik1389]

Tbh, I thought Varric's design was kinda ridiculous. I'm a fan of classic dwarves like Gimli or Oghren: epic beard, almost always drunk, hot headed, and are beasts in close combat. Varric is pretty much opposite: He has no beard, fancy clothes (thoguh imo, look a bit gay), a rogue with crossbow, and a story teller of all thing.

But of all the companions in DA 2, he was pretty much the only interesting one because of his witty tongue, and somewhat carefree nature. Compare to others (some whiny emo freaks, a serious he-woman, a socially retarded, overly fluffy bloodmage, Mr. Stick in the mud prince / chantry brother ...) I'd say he's the only one I don't mind having around again.

I think they are going to bring back companions from DA 2 anyway (to have some kind of connection between games???). So, well Varric is the best choice there.

I couldn't care about Varric cause he was the narrator and presented himself as Hawke's best friend from the start. I felt I didn't have anything to do to earn his friendship and just couldn't care less as a result - I actually got to 100% friendship without really knowing how I did that.
A bit like ME2/ME3 Garrus (which is a pity, because I really loved ME1 Garrus).

I also felt it was unfair that he should be the only one who was allowed to remain neutral throughout the game
This was supposed to be my Hawke's part
Surprisingly enough, when you side with the mages, he says "Thank the Maker", and I couldn't help but think that this was the writers speaking here.

For all we know, everything he's been telling in DA2 is a huge lie and he's been manipulating everybody

Really dude?

[Potato Cat]

I didn't like Varric either. I just didn't get his jokes, well the ones that weren't repeatedly immersion breaking pop culture references. It's fine though, I'll give him another chance, then just keep him out of the party some more if he doesn't impress.

[Dabrikishaw]

Varric's Crossbow gave him the highest DPS of all the party Rogues, even if you never gave him the Primeval Lyrium Rune to increase Bianca's rune slots to 4. He's also the only party member without a "problem the MC needed to fix" and is pretty okay all the way in the game.

Yep I agree with this 

Personally I was very indifferent to seeing Varric in the trailer, and I sighed a little to learn he is a companion. I also wasn't a huge fan of him in DA2; of course I did not dislike him, not one bit. But I never took him with me, at least not after my first playthrough.

I hope he's not a romance option, either, because that would leave me just one other guy. Of course, I'm also a little torn because I know a lot of people WANT Varric as a LI, and I want them to be happy, too.
