It would be really interesting if he ended up an available LI to qunari, I won't hold my breath for it, but if it happened I would definitely play it haha. I'm just thinking of how adorable the height difference could make it.
I've seen some fanart of Varric with a qunari inquisitor, so I know more people feel that way too.
I understand the race gating even though it's a bummer. It does open up the ability for more characters to be LI's, and characters with such different builds would be a task to get right during intimate scenes... but yeah. I feel ya. :c
I get it too, doesn't mean I'll stop complaining about it though. ![]()
To be honest I've found most of the sex scenes in Bioware games to be kind of goofy so if it meant not having race gated romances, I'd gladly take just a fade to black. I'm more interested in the dialogues and the emotional intimacies of a love story than the physical aspects.
You know that scene in DA2 during the Isabela romance where Isabela comforts Hawke after their mother dies? That, to me, is the sweetest most romantic and touching scene in the Isabela romance and I'd gladly sacrifice a sex scene or a big kiss for more scenes like that. ![]()

I would too. x3 I loved that comfort scene. I would trade in a sex scene for 3 more scenes like that. DA2 had a lot of nice romance scenes, and I didn't mind the fade to black at all. It was way better than the erm... awkward 'sex' scenes in Origins. ![]()

Well, I am just thinking, I would rather have romantic talk then kissing, fade-to-black and "morning after" scenes (think DA2) rather than dry humping (*cough*DAO*cough*).
And that can be remedied by having taller races sit at a level to match Varric's. Morning after needs no explanation since the pillows are always aligned together.
Whether or not that is difficult to animate, I won't know. I am a seamstress, not an animator. ![]()

I can't decide what's worse about the Origin sex scenes, the dead sex faces, the underwear, the stiff movements or that strange woman serenading the Warden and their LI in the background.
But Isabela's comfort scene...it was so heart wrenching and sweet. I would love more scenes like that Inquisition, where you just have a heart to heart talk with your LI. ![]()

Pillow talk! So cute! I love that idea.

Like this scene in the Merrill romance. Without the creepy and wonky thin arms...

d'awwww... I wish every romance in DA2 had a scene like that.
You know, does anyone have a Merrill romance save right before the love scene occurs? I want to see if I mod Varric into the scene if he'll "jump" to face level with Hawke (it occasionally happens in certain cutscenes).
Gender doesn't matter since the scene is standard for both, though it would be hysterical hearing femHawke's voice on Varric!
Please PM me if you have a DA2 Merrill romance save to share!
Sorry for double posting.

Anyway, just thought here's some interesting numbers to share:-

Varric always has double the number of likes than most characters, on Facebook at least. However, I have a gut feeling Cullen might beat his record when his profile is out.
I guess it's safe to assume Varric is still more popular than most characters right now, at least among those unconfirmed as LIs. Among mainstream, non-BSN fans.
Found these beauties on Aimo's second Tumblr.

I love the art! I hope things improve for you. I'm getting ready to get some sleep here shortly, but you're welcome to toss me a message anytime. <hugs>

lol I am sorry! It wasn't intentional !
Awesome new fan art that you've posted!
Also, I would much prefer the emotional scenes as well. Which in my opinion, if they went the fade to black route should limit race gating to the very least
-fingers crossed- Varric puhlease
Bioware Base update!
Do you think they would try and get Brian Bloom to record something silly soon?
They've already done silly videos with Claudia, Steve and now Alix.

Interesting. I did not know that Gordan Freeman is involved in the production of Inquisition.
I wanted to share this. It isn't fan art, but it's a screenshot of one of my favorite lines that Varric has:

I usually bring Isabela with me for that scene, but for whatever reason I didn't that time. I'll admit, I'm going to miss their banter in Inquisition, but I'm looking forward to Iron Bull/Blackwall/Varric conversations. You know that's going to be awesome. ![]()

That's a cool party setup. Blackwall says honorable things. Iron Bull twists them into something dirtier. Varric ends it off with his sarcastic humour. I might try this when I get the game (Not for entire playthroughs mind you, but it will be an unexpected group to have for a while.)
