Well .. at least they explained why he's no LI.
I feel so bad for him because of Bianca. ...
Same. It feel so much as the situation I have with a friend of mine (she see a married man, but he is much older than her, and have nowhere in mind to leave his wife and family). A bad situation without hope, expecially for Varric. (as I see it, Bianca could simply leave her husband and sell her inventions to substain herself. And is not as if in Thedas is rare for married couples to break up. See Branka and Oghren) Bianca will forever be ok with having two foot in one shoe.
But at least I sometimes I can try to put a little salt in my friend brain (no success for now, but at least I can say I have tried) with Varric, the Inquistor can't even make a comment.
I could cope with Varric not being an LI (one of Bianca's few fans here!) except Scout Harding's romance goes nowhere. Who is my dwarfette going to love now?
Is sad Harding is just a "half romance". She is cute, and I like her character.
Bianca, for what I have seen for now, I'd prefer to stomp on her with the war nug. I really don't like her. Mostly because I can't stand in RL persons who cheat on their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. If you don't love the person you are in a relationship anymore, be a responsible adult, and leave him/her if you want a new relationship.
So this, with her Mary Sueish attitude and presentation, and impossibility to put her in jail/recruit/something for having actually give to Corypheus the red lyrium, (when we can condamn people for much less, like trowing goats at our fortress) gave me the "Tallis wibe", so I quite hate the character.
