Haha, good artwork nonetheless. Yay for santa Varric!
Varric was the single most interesting character in DA2 He was loyal no matter how you played so I always brought him along while romancing anyone who was romancable and exploring the sibling relationship which was one of my absolute favorite aspects of DA2. Bethany brings out the protector in me but I also noticed Varric on subsequent playthrus always protecting everyone, Anders, Bethany, Merril, he was like a mama hen taking the weaker ones the smaller ones, those vulnerable characters and protecting them. This went beyond his Han Solo vibe and let me realize that Varric Tethras was a good and noble scoundrel. He was a protector. His nicknames for Merrill and Bethany cinched it for me on my 4th Hawke and I decided he was my absolute favorite character and it was so sad that such a protector of the innocent was not a LI. I am a huge sucker for protectors. It was what made me fall in love with Jack all over again in ME3 and why I liked Kaidan so much in ME1 though in the end no romance beats Garrus.

Am I the only one that is going to miss Merrill? I know that she could be annoying at times, but I really enjoyed the dynamic between her and Varric, especially when he would call her "Daisy." I thought that was cute ![]()
Speaking of nicknames, which one's do you think he will come up with this time around?
Here's a list of the nicknames he used in DAII:
Isabela - Rivaini
Bethany - Sunshine
Fenris - Elf
Carver - Junior
Anders - Blondie
Sebastian - Choir-Boy
Tallis - Shivs
Aveline - no nickname (probably afraid to make her mad
)
According to the DA wiki,
In Mark of the Assassin, Hawke can receive a nickname from Varric depending on Hawke's current personality. A Diplomatic/Helpful Hawke is nicknamed as "Waffles", a Sarcastic/Charming Hawke as "Chuckles", and an Aggressive/Direct Hawke as "Killer".
In the Solas thread I've heard them guess "sleepy" or "baldy", both of which I approve.
Don't know about the others, but I'm very curious as to what he'll come up with. I loved being called "chuckles" in Mark of the Assassin haha.
I don't remember this line from DA2 XD omigosh his laugh!
Well that stinks but would still like to see the conformation from a dev.Fenris: It IS filthy.
Varric was mentioned in a DAI-related article on a site called What Culture. But not in a good way.

Top of the list of things that won't happen: a Varric romance. Just his speculation, of course.
He doesn't have any Confirmation. Don't loose Hope!
CHART TIME!!!
I pieced together information from all the character Q&A's with the writers.

I would love for Varric to get along with IB, but I suppose we can't always get what we want. :c
I wasn't surprised by Eric's chart involving Varric and IB because I heard it before.
I want Varric to be buds with Sera and Vivienne personally
because i really look forward to them and crush on them shh,
I crush on Sera, so I would be all for Varric and her getting along wonderfully. Especially since they will both be on my team a great amount, most likely. xD I could see a mischievous kinda partnership between them. They both enjoy a good laugh.

Really? Of all things, Varric being romancable is outrageous? I mean, I would describe the "God-baby is the Inquisitor" theory floating around as outrageous. Varric is...at best a maybe and at worst an unlikely to me. But that's just me, I have to keep in mind people were all like "There's no WAY we'll get to pick races" not that long ago.

Isabela / Varric V.2 ?
Isabela / Varric V.2 ?
Yes.
Some of the best dialogue ever born from that banter haha.
Is bitter Cassandra/Varric confirmed? The fact that they supposedly left Kirkwall together led me to believe they had at least a truce after DAII.
Of course, this might turn out to be entertaining, listening to the angry banter those two could dish out.
Yes.

Haha Isabela was my LI in most my playthroughs, I just love that banter. haha

I would love for that article to be proven wrong for so many reasons. But one of them would be to internally snicker at them and everyone else who seems like it's such a far-fetched idea. I don't see how it's so ludicrous, either. Yes, he loves Bianca, whoopie! So that's all it takes to get an insta-nomance reputation these days, I suppose. ![]()

I mean...while Aveline doesn't romance Hawke--she was married to someone who she loved very much who died, and she moved on and got married! Isabela loved someone and she ran from that love and learned to love Hawke! Why can't Varric love Quizzy?
-hopeful again-

Ah yes, I romanced Isabela a few times myself. I can never resist a charming, quick witted lady-rogue, or in her case pirate, it seems.
But they really did have the best banter. I'll take the hilarious stuff over the serious stuff any day lol.

I believe so, we have a chart going around based on actual sources that says they will have a kind of "bitter" relationship going on. I think it will be something like "I can stand you, I respect you, but I don't like you". Maybe it will get better as time goes on. ![]()
