No not Varric, Varriel is my male elf inquisitor! He's my Dorian romance quizzy. (he's the one currently in my avatar)
Woops, saw "Varri" and my brain turned it into Varric - lolololol!!!! Well, your Varriel should be good to go, I imagine! *bonk self*
I do apologise if this has already been covered, but does anyone know what poem Blackwall is quoting from when he speaks on the Storm Coast?
@Pogue: Do you remember any of the dialogue? I recall Blackwall talking about that ghost ship (also found a codex entry about it somewhere), but that's the only environment-related banter I recall from that area (oh, well, I guess there was the part where he mentions not having been to sea in a while or something).

Unfortunately no, it only happened the once and I've had no success triggering it again, it had a Longfellow feel to it but that's all I can remember (dagnabit!)
guess who's back 
*acts like she was actually missed*
@ Pogue, the line is "An old salt now, that is what I am, as I sail these stormy waters", but I can't attribute it to any poet, maybe is original poetry 
I got it a few days back, since i decided to redo some of my PT to correct some things, and I also learned how to use cheat engine and party banter trigger.
@Atreyia the name of the ship he is talking about is "The windy marcher"
@CathyMe - Thank you! Looking the closest I can find is a sort of match in some old sea shanties, but no matter, it still gave me a case of the fuzzy collywobbles 
Haha, he leaves a line out for a female Inquisitor.
That's wise of him, lmao. If he said it in front of my quizzy, she would probably go into the irrationally-jealous-possessive-b!tch-mode for the rest of the day (but later apologize and make up for it... somehow... ahem) I know, she's quite the handful. Poor Blackwall must have angelic patience to deal with her caprices all the time
I laughed my butt off with the doxy line. Man, I would really have liked to hear more of his Thom Rainier days. I just found his persona a lot more interesting after Revelations once the mask was off.
@cathy: Ah - I keep thinking "Wind Waker" because of the Legend of Zelda game, haha! One of these days that Windy Marcher thing will actually stick.
I didn't recall hearing this conversation on my first PT. I rarely hear Blackwall jump into other people's conversations so this exchange was a nice surprise for me.
Solas: "The Grey Wardens allow elves and dwarves into their ranks?"
Varric: "Qunari, too, I imagine. They don't care about titles or blood, just stopping the Blight."
Solas: "A pity they do it so badly then."
Blackwall: "Would you care to repeat that?"
Solas: "Argue if you like. Your fight against the darkspawn is noble, but what progress have you made?"
Varric: "I may not like everything they've done, but without the Wardens, we'd all be blighted by now."
Solas: "They've bought us some time, I will grant them that."

Yeah me too. Needs to be more young Thom Rainier stuff out there - go fanficcers, go!!
Here's a screenshot of the quote:
This was my Dorianmance playthrough.
Hi. Your post is the first time I've seen the bounciest doxy comment. It served as rich fodder for a Blackwall short fanfic. (on the fanfiction forum) Thanks! That was fun!

You're welcome! I did love the terminology.

May I have your permission to show your screenshot on the fanfic thread - for bouncy doxy reference?
Thanks again!

Go ahead. 
Sometimes I wish there was a barbarian armor in DAI so I could put Blackwall in it.

Wow, Solas is being a jackass. You never see that anywhere /sarcasm
Blackwall is one of my favourite new characters in Inquisition. He's definitely the best of the new companions in the game, and I really liked how his story progressed. Ultimately, he's a guy who's trying to both better himself as a person (albeit in a very unconventional way), and make the world a better place, and that earnestness is a breath of fresh air.
That's wise of him, lmao.

Well, given his past, I think she is entitled to some jealousy fits . That also reminds me of another line from banter with Varric, when he says the lady Honorine Castain(or something like that, can't remember the name) has "magnificent ******-technique". Made me laugh more than it should

I wished we could've used the avvar clothing from the game, no upper body armor just body paint

Sometimes I like to picture what Blackwall chest looks like. It is like a muscled black sweater with a white strip going down the center. 
My thirst for young Thom Rainier is very high at the moment.
World of Thedas has reference to him as Thom and his time in the grand tourney and it goes along the lines I expected. I saw some links on tumblr but not sure on linking it here.
@Bugsie, I also saw a snippet about young Rainier from WOT preview on Tumblr and OMG, I feel you. There were some really lovely epithets to describe him,
I wonder how would my Quizzy feel about the younger, or at least pre-Blackwall Rainier. From what we know about him from codices and conversations, I imagine she'd be less than impressed, lol.
Yeah that's a great description of the arrogance of his youth. I think my quizzy would like him, but she wouldn't want to date him. That's what I like about him as is, now, he still has a measure of arrogance that comes with the knowledge that he is actually talented at some things but that unmitigated arrogance is gone, the bluster (or swag for want of a better word), now he's aged, just isn't there.
I don't think we even get to see Blackwall topless. I'm hoping for glorious chest hair as well. I hope the modders added the grey back to his beard.
