Mystery solved.   So if that really is the case and we meet Bianca, I suppose she'll be a villain of some sort... I wonder if we'll have a say in the choice of her fate, and if that will be sort of a 'crisis' moment with Varric. o: Since I suppose he isn't going to be a companion who sticks around no matter what this time...

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

I just hope we hear some news soon. Anything would be nice

Indeed... the romance thread is already going slightly bonkers because of it... I actually feel weird about missing the arguments over LI's. :/ I think we'll get something soon.

I'm doing my best to avoid the place. The first time I failed today depressed me xD

Yeah it's a good idea, nothing interesting is happening in there anyways. The only thing I just saw that piqued my interest is someone saying since the upcoming convention is about comics, and Varric is regularly in the comics, they might finally talk about him some more and his place in the game.

This is wildly off-topic, but I wanted to share a piece of fan art someone did of the lady Qunari Quizzy.  Art by Ymirr, from here in the forums.

 

 

My gods, that's just so damned awesome.  Thoughts?

That is sexy as hell  very well done, holy crap.   It's beautiful. I love the horns and how they kinda sprawl out, I would love a design like that in the CC!

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

Wow! Thats amazing!

Uh... no coherent ones.

[Grieving Natashina]

I know right?  Such a vast improvement from, well, this:

 

 

I weep for her bosom.  Imagine running in that?  I know she isn't a warrior, and she's from a warm clime, but good lord.

Haha, well said.

To be perfectly fair it seems the male Qunari prefer going shirtless in combat if DA2 is any indication.

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

I'm seriously excited to see the character creator!

[Chernaya]

Lol, seriously. Unrealistic bosom support for the well-endowed, a theme that never goes away. xP

One of my theories is that the Carta (whom I really think was the cause of her and Varric's split) has gotten a hold of red lyrium.  Here's what I'm thinking:

 

Once the division of the Templar Order was done, and (what is now known as) the Red Templars were established, the splinter group faced a serious problem.  Without access to the Chantry's supplies, they were going to be out of lyrium soon.  Even with legal contacts they made on the side, it was probably only a matter of time before the Loyal Templars would find them.  

 

It's possible that they might have heard of exactly what happened to KC Meredith, and how she became very powerful before she died.  Thanks to some red lyrium that the Champion had found.  In my mind, these guys have quite the hubris.  They probably figured that they could master the red lyrium for themselves.  Trying to take notes from Meredith's downfall, they find a sample and begin to experiment.  I could imagine that some of those experiments were brutal, and often fatal.

 

About that time, the Carta manages to find the Thaig were the red lyrium idol was first discovered all those years ago.  Gazing upon the crystalline structures of red lyrium, the dwarves didn't see the danger.  They saw opportunity.  Word has probably spread that the Templar order had split, and that surely the rebels were going to need lyrium, right?  The timing couldn't have been better.

 

The Red Templars, facing a lack of fresh red lyrium as well as running low on blue, decided to finally go to the one group that Chantry wouldn't have spies or sympathizers in: The Carta.  Paying an exorbitant sum, the Red Templars set up a smuggling deal with the Carta to go more of the powerful new lyrium.

 

Now time has passed, and the Red Templars have their new power.  Yet, there is a catch.  More and more members of the Carta are reporting symptoms of madness, confusion, mood swings...and mentions of a song.  The most beautiful song anyone has ever heard.  Trade is not only in danger of being disrupted, but the Carta are starting to lose themselves to the song of the red lyrium.

 

Bianca has been with the Carta for over ten years now.  Seeing the writing on the wall, she quietly packs and flees, seeking to get away as fast as she could.  Hoping to find help from her contacts still in the Merchant's Guild, she ends up facing the last ghost of her past: Varric.  The man that still filled her heart with regret.  The man that told her his principles were worth more than any riches.  The man that she tried to forget, her first love.

 

Will her laugh at her misfortune now?  Has he changed so much that he would turn his back on a old friend?  She wouldn't have blamed him, but she had to try.  Her life, and the life of her friends, depended upon it. 

 

 

 

Wow, that was wordy.  Sorry about that.  

If Varric did anything like this, he is on permanent bench detail.

Qunari women must have some strong bones or something I guess.

[Solaria]

sorry hit a wrong button.

[Grieving Natashina]

But...but I like Rasaan. 

I'm not saying the character is bad or wrong, but her art design?  I thought it wasn't very good.  If anything, I kept wincing every time I looked at her.

More like very strong pectoral muscles, and even then, gravity still is in effect.

I really don't think Varric would just leave anyone, or turn his back.  Even if it is the woman that broke his heart.

 

I was more going for, "Tune in next time!  Same Dwarf Time!  Same Dwarf Channel!"

Her face is pretty. I want something like that available in CC.

I agree about her face, but that isn't my issue.  It's her clothing, and the lack of chest support.  I mean seriously...ow.  

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

Did we learn much about the skin tones we can give Qunari? How about the hair color?

 

I think Qunari won't be until my third play through, but I'm still curious.

Its always the same in the fantasy theme comics -pretty female must look attractive and wear impractical clothing.

Good. Because if the choices were "Have him available as an LI by changing his personality" or "Have him be the Varric we all love but will remain as just a friend", I'd take the latter in a heartbeat.

Grey and bronze for sure.  Hair, uncertain this point.

I think Varric's bitter, not heartless.  I wouldn't want him to change that much either; it wouldn't be the guy I'm wanting to romance otherwise.
