So if Varric does turn out to be an LI how badly do you think some of the hardcore 'its wrong to separate them' Varric and Bianca shippers are going to freak out? (not saying they are all like that of course but I have seen someone say if you want to romance Varric than  you are horrible for wanting to split him from Bianca)

When you say Bianca, what do you mean?

 

If you mean the crossbow, i dont think anyone has a right to think that Varric has to be faithful to a weapon. No matter how beautiful she may be.

 

If you mean the dwarf Bianca, i really dont know. She's been gone for years upon years right? Is she even still alive? Im not sure its healthy to not move on like that.

I have no doubt they'll make some angry forum posts. But it'll be drowned out by the partying and sympathizing for those who got gated. He is already split from Bianca and keeping him pining over her for so long doesn't feel healthy to me.

That top picture just reminds me how badly I need to see a chiropractor and massage therapist. Lucky Cadash getting a nice mostly likely much needed massage.

People getting upset about reasons...seems like business as usual.  It is silly though.  Those 2 haven't been a couple in a very very long time!  No one would wait that long if there was a better option to come along.  I mean maybe Varric  just didn't like Hawke that way, but he has a lot of options this game!  Something should float his boat.

That's a thing? Honestly I wasn't even sure Bianca had been a real girlfriend when I played DA2.

Its in one of the comics i believe.

It was in the visual novel Until We Sleep where Varric has a fade dream that shows Bianca and him planning to escape from the Merchant Caste. Things obviously didn't go as planned but the comic doesn't enlighten us further. Mary Kirby said that she's most likely not dead but there's also no indication she's perfectly healthy and looking for him.

Yeah, I read it. So that shipping came from the comic dream scene?

Is it really "shipping" when its in official media?

 

I tend to use that word when its unofficial.

 

No offence of course.

 

Anyway, i suppose the answer is yes.

Never got the vibe Bianca was more than a weapon from the games either and I do think it is unhealthy for him to pine after someone for so long (at least thats how i felt when I found out she was a person and not just a crossbow) Then again I do know someone that still very much loves and still wears the wedding ring of their dead spouse but to me that is pretty different though I can't really explain why. Either way I just hope that Varric either gets some closure or gets to move on. I've never seen him with Bianca and DA2 did not convince me of anything more than he simply wasn't interested in Hawke and that he was just overly affectionate with his weapon. But I never read Until We Sleep so I have no idea if I'm missing an epic romance or something but I get the feeling that I"m not.

I've seen it used that way many times, and I was referring to the post that mentioned hardcore Bianca/Varric shippers.

 

Ah okay. For me that scene is intriguing. When I read it I thought it meant she died but maybe it ended badly? Because otherwise why would they still be apart? Any thoughts?

[Yinello]

Bianca was always sold as "the one story Varric will never tell" so it's more mysterious than anything. Maybe he feels bad because of a mistake he made. Maybe he had gotten over it and bringing back Bianca would just open new wounds? I dunno.

[blissfulbhajan]

Am I the only one who thinks that it would be creepy if Varric actually is still pining after real-Bianca? Like naming your weapon after a lost love is endearing. Naming one after an ex you're supposedly still hung up over is... Weird... Kinda stalkery?

[GameBoyish]

I think moving on from Bianca would help with character development since Varric is no longer going to be "everyone's friend" this time around.

 

Rivalry with Varric in DA2 usually means that you're playing mean Hawke.

This is why we feel that Varric NEEDS to be an LI. The option MUST exist!

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Generally I'll be happy for any new footage.  Though I would be happiest about anything with Dorian, Varric, and Vivienne.  (we haven't even heard Vivi's voice yet!)

Yeah, we have. The only people whose voices we've never heard is Blackwall ad Josephine. Everyone else we either know their VA and/or we've heard them ingame.

I think it is sweet that he still loves her. Nothing stalkery about it.

Isn't he?

 

Didnt the Devs even say something like "He will at least try to get along with everyone. Except Cassandra."

I'm with you there. Urgh, I bet that if Bianca is in the game and she has moved on (because y'now, many years later) people on the forum are going to call her a cheater or worse.

[Chrys]

I need to search for rival Varric videos. It seems like a very hard thing to accomplish.

He doesn't like Iron Bull either due to what the Arishok did in Kirkwall. 

[Lee80]

When did she speak?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

When did she speak?

In the demo at PAX last year. 

[HuldraDancer]

Going solely by DA2 I kind of figured her name sake was for maybe a reason similar to Bin Finn's reasoning for naming his gun Vanessa only Varrics was probably more sweet and involved less whores.

 

I really REALLY hope that people don't go on about how Bianca is a cheater or wh*re if she moves on or I think I'll have to shed my usual niceness and get into mean FU mode >>

 

Just want Varric to be happy darnit.

[Lee80]

I'll rewatch the video.  Must not have left much of an impression.  

[TheodoricFriede]

Do we really know that?

 

I took it more as "he is initially mistrustful of qunari".

 

I mean really, is Iron Bull your typical qunari? Will he even continue to support the qun after being "free" for so long?

 

Their interactions will be very interesting indeed.
