No news.

According to your own testimony things would have been a bit more dramatic had it been bad news .

 

Also I just thought of an interesting way to handle the shard.

 

It'd go something like.

 

Inquisitor notices small little red shiny dots on Bianca, Varric lies if it's pointed out.

 

If Inquisitor pushes Bianca could be inspected, and the red lyrium shard removed. Rather large hit to Varric's frienship is taken. Much, however, can be recovered if the right options are picked in the subsequent conversation.

 

If Not

 

Varric acts oddly later in game, maybe asks if anyone hear's anything, snaps at someone when he wouldn't normally. Bianca seems to have even more red dots.

 

If Inquisitor pushes Bianca is inspected and the red lyrium is removed. Inquisitor takes a small hit to Varric's friendship points, or even gains some if the right options are picked.

 

If Not

 

Varric eventually almost seriously injures a fellow teammate (probably Cass or Bull) due to paranoia/jumpiness. Bianca is covered in red dots.

 

If Inquisitor pushes Bianca is inspected. There's no way to removed the shard now without permanently damaging her. Inquisitor can either choose to break her or give her back to Varric. Choosing to break her will result in a major friendship hit, though some can be recovered through the right conversation options. Varric can now only use daggers.

 

If Inquisitor doesn't push/Doesn't destroy Bianca

 

Varric eventually goes full Meredith. This results in one fantastic battle in which he has some amazing powers. Whether it's on your side or against depends on other choices made in the story. If against Varric dies at the end. If on your side, Varric can be saved if right options were picked, but he is no longer a companion and probably not a romance option.

 

I dunno, I think it'd make for an interesting story progression.

Just caught up with the thread. I am guessing PAX and Gamescon would be the times they would announce the final LIs.

But those are so far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay whine whine b**** whine moan. 

[SilkieBantam]

I was hoping the info would be out before I went on vacation so I could stop fixating on it...

[fiveforchaos]

Ah well, I guess I have more time to finish my celebratory/sadface posts.

[Slukers]

I wish they would tell us now. Just... now

"I just wanna be loved by Varric"

... I could see that.

I believe that's the safe money, assuming they aren't going to drag it out even more.

Why won't they just let us love him?

What's odd is that they've dragged Viv out for so long. I mean it's fairly obvious considering the numbers (and the unlikelihood that they'd make romances that unbalanced). There won't be any negative backlash as there would be for the male LI announcement, and it gives a little hype boost. Doesn't seem like a bad idea to announce it fairly soonish. 

 

I mean they already made that one tweet about how "Viv's not ready to come out yet" or something, which kinda almost cements it doesn't it? 

 

I just want them to announce her so that I can accept that being able to romance Varric means not being able to romance Solas, and vice-versa .

[Chernaya]

No news? ah, well... *pouts*

Well, there's been some hints that Vivienne has Plot, which might make them a little wary to announce her. And Gaider's suggested the romances might be unbalanced, so we're not 100% sure she's in at this point.

Fair point. I wonder if the last male LI Varric also has plot, and that's why he hasn't been announced yet. Hopefully it's not an Alistair style plot. Quite a few Wardens ended up heartbroken after than .

It's interesting how both of Mary Kirby's characters were announced very early but have had very little information released about them in comparison to the other characters.

All the more reason to think they're important. Want to get them out the door early, don't want to reveal too much.

[GameBoyish]

It may or may not have something to do with Mary's history with slipping info...

[Chernaya]

I stand by the thought that Varric has a lot of spoilery plot details about his character this time around. He might be connected to another character or situation they don't want to reveal yet.

[SilkieBantam]

That or some major revisions were made to them.

I suspect they might be keeping Mary Kirby chained up under lock and key after the Brian Bloom incident...

 

Which actually wasn't that bad. 

 

Whatever the reason, our character threads have gone ignored. neglected by their creator.

I think Mary herself has been staying out of things because she doesn't want to slip up again, which I can understand. I kinda doubt she got orders from on-high to avoid the fanbase because of one slip, since she's not exactly the only dev to say something she shouldn't have.

 

I also doubt they'd hide info on her characters because she let too much loose in a completely different situation. If anything you'd want to release her info faster, so she had less chance to make mistakes.

[Chernaya]

We don't need anyone visiting us. >.> we're fine on our own.

 

but it would be nice.

[Foelhe]

I've been trying to think of something else we can talk about, but I'm drawing a blank. Anyone? Let's come up with something we can discuss to take our minds off the wait.

Hmm... How about quotes from other tv shows/movies that we could see Varric saying (much like the "too old for this" in DA2... Or just would be funny in this voice)

Ok, here's an easy one- varric and sera as Phil and Lem from Better Off Ted

Phil: Are you sure we're doing the right thing?
Lem: I've never been so sure about being unsure of anything in my life.
Phil: Good. Then we're on the same page. Let's do it.

[GameBoyish]

A reboot of this?
