I assumed it was coz of Bianca or even just the fact that he wasn't an LI in DA2 but did allot of flirting. Therefore they had to make it clear that he isn't available.

It does not matte,r Varric has made it clear he's not into humans, if he is a LI and he can be romanced by a human, that goes against established canon.


I remember when i was 14/15  I used to say I wasn't into muscular guys only skinny guys, It funny how much I have changed sinse then :D

Varic is not a 14/15 year old. Stop projecting yourself on Varric.

Also we should consider that Thedas has it's fair share of xenophobia and racism.


Does the existence of xenophobia and racism prevent any pairings from ever happening?


(Aside to the entire thread: some people would probably do well to edit their posts in this thread. The only reason why I haven't banned some people is because I don't have the time at the moment to go through all of the details of doing so)

Of course not, but not all people should be open to the idea. We've had non-LIs have this train of tohught in the games, why can't we have some Lis who do to?

 I doubt we'll see a restriction like that - though the number of angry threads ranging from "WTF Bioware!? I made a Qunari and I can only get my Qun on with ONE LI?!" to "Bioware is against interracial couples!" would be rather entertaining. ^_^

Ah I can see my earlier comment got to you a little bit then. ;)

No but people change and they also lie sometimes, I am not demanding he be romanceable, I don't really care tbh but your logic is flawed on this xx

Did he specifically say female dwarves?  If not, you know the SJC will bring it up and say "He said he wasn't in to humans, but it's been x years!  Maybe he changed!"  or "Did he say he wasn't into elves/qunari?  If not, there's a chance he still is."

Not race restrictions, but race preferences, for the LIs.

Like...other stuff. Which I won't mention because that path is dark and full of terrors.

Why is it that whenever someone posts a topic widely viewed against these things go out of topic? Why can't we just stay on topic and NOT go philosophical on everyone @_@

Because it we do THAT, other people will believe something we disagree with! And we can't have that...

Why do you care so much? Just don't romance him as a human. Problem solved.

Bioware is all about exploring races and interactions.
Given the liberal fan base it attracts, I think you'll "fire up" alot of reg BSNers (sorry - didn't read all the posts past the 1st page).
Bioware going this route seems statistically improbable.

If logic is your primary concern, then perhaps - you should not have a blue Asari as your logo.
I'm 100% sure YOU are not an blue Asari, nor can you become one.
Just a thought.

unfortionately oh so true... *sigh* wish people would accept the fact that you can play the way you want and leave it at that :/

especially since no lore goes against said problems

You might buy this, I don't. Anything that goes against canon I'm against. You can choose to ignore it all you want, others don't.

This. If the idea of Varric falling madly in love with a human (or whatever) bothers you... then don't romance him with a human. This is assuming that he's a LI in the first place, which we don't know. I just don't understand people getting their undies in a wad over what happens in SOMEONE ELSE'S GAME. It doesn't affect yours at all.

Why get weirded out at the idea of a qunari crushing on somebody's Inquisitor when that has no impact on your playthrough whatsoever? :huh:

I suppose you mean something more specific than "Bioware," yes? That is from one of the comics.

No, I'm well aware of existence of Romeo and Juliet but it should be noted that:

a) These stories are extremely rare.
B) They should be done in great detail, because of sheer complexity of issues like love, prejudice, racism, xenophobia. Can developer team do this kind of romance and will you have time for that? It's easy to make interracial romance. The real challenge is to make it believable and not just some fanservice.

I guess in order to create a great romance there needs to be strong romantic plot. Then developer writes reaction of NPCs, there should be obstacles, misunderstanding, hate. Some real consequences would be nice too. i.e. Is there any reaction if Shepard romances Tali or Garrus in Mass Effect? I think it's quite a big deal, love between human and quarian/turian. Especialy considering strained relations between Earth and Turians.

What happens if Varric flirts with my human first, huh? What good excuse do you have then? What happens if all the LIs hit on my qunari first? It's happening in my game.
