Welcome folks to the Varric Tethras discussion thread! Now with 25% more chest hair and 50% more narration! 

 

Remember: "Always classy, never trashy. And just a little bit sassy." -Marilyn Monroe

 

 

Below this post we have a wonderful and ever growing library of fanart for you to peruse. 

"Varric Tethras is one part adventurous rogue, one part dashing storyteller, and three parts trouble. Born on the surface, Varric has little love for his underground brethren-all his contacts lie with the dwarves of the Merchants Guild, though he has little taste for their schemes. Still, he has found a place as an outsider, rubbing shoulders with both the wealthy and elite as well as the worst of scoundrels. To hear him tell of it, that's all he truly cares about, though anyone who truly knows him claims differently. They say that, try as he might, Varric has been drawn more and more into conflicts that shake the world-ones that he can't get himself out of with a quick tale."

What? No, O_o Indeed, Happy place.

 

It would be easier to explain, but i already got in trouble for that once, it doesn't matter that medical science is on my side apparently when people get offended by the findings of some of the top schools in the world.

 

Feel free to PM me then, if you'd like.

[Allan Schumacher]

Don't feel bummed. I think we can appreciate that the intentions certainly weren't anything but to be fun.  It's just sometimes different on the other side.

 

I remember being in a phone interview with someone and he made a comment about how he loved BioWare and could see our office from his home.  I'm sure he meant well, but the instinctual response came across to "step away from the windows."

 

The first time I saw someone else post a picture of me I was very "WHOA."  And then it was sort of like "Okaaaaay, I guess that's a thing.  The picture isn't a problem really, but I guess that just reinforces that I'm a public facing person now and I should be cognizant of it with future posts."  Basically, no matter how much I say "My tweets are my own" the reality is that they aren't.  It's different than when I had 8 followers and they were all friends from Edmonton.  Sometimes I can forget that though, but for the most part people's intentions are good and just a "whoa timeout" helps.

 

 

As for apologizing, remember that I'm a Canadian (and therefore level 9999999 at apologizing): I find that when I offend someone all I really need to do is say "Sorry."  I say it a lot.  I'm pretty good at it.  Most of the time it works pretty well for minor things like this.  But I've rambled on a lot as it is.  Sorry!

 

 

Cheers.

[Allan Schumacher]

Thank you for taking the time to post in here Mr. Schumacher! I feel terrible about the whole thing but I understand why it was inappropriate and came across as creepy. I definitely didn't mean any offense by it, we were just getting a little lonely here in the Varric thread with the lack of dev posts, so well..you saw the result. It was meant as a joke but obviously it wasn't a very good one and I'll make sure to tread more carefully from now on. I certainly don't want to make Mary or any of the Devs feel uncomfortable. So, again I'm very, very, sorry and I'll make sure to think things through more in the future...

 

No worries.

 

My main reason for not posting in the thread is mostly "because I hadn't posted in it already."  (I have a huge bias to simply click on the little speech balloon).  I have a few that I gravitate to because I've posted a lot in there already, but I wouldn't read too much into a lack of dev posts.  Varric is a popular character and has a lot of fans, we do know this.

[Allan Schumacher]

Well, Allan was playing the game and tweeted a lot of enthusiastic things. And he said Solas has a very lovely voice.

Varric is an interesting one. He's still pretty Varricy, but I am curious where his path takes him for this game.

[Sheryl Chee]

That's not my dwarf. My dwarf is a PC. That's a character in the game.

[Sheryl Chee]

So... is it Dagna? 

 

It's not Dagna. It's a character you've never met.

[Allan Schumacher]

Hey, if BioWare would've given the option to steal Bianca (the person) from Varric, it would've been a fair trade. Dat ass.

 

I would've shown her how a real dwarf does the nasty.

 

Just curious what you're purpose in the thread is, at this point?

[Allan Schumacher]

Even if it wasn't the actual reason, they pretty said emphasized that they took into account "fan feedback." So yea, it does seem like they are using "some people didn't want him" as (one of the) reason.

Hmm. The fan feedback taken into account was likely the supporters. In that it was considered "ia this something we should do with varric?"

Unfortunately that is only a part of the equation. It seems unfair because people will think Cullen was made romanceable because of fan requests and whatnot, but I would downplay the effects of fan feedback in this regard.
