Definetely, he's always been quick with a smile & ready with a quip, it'd be cute to see him at a loss for words once!....now I'm imagining a stuttering, blushy Varric.  :wub:  *swoons* Argh! Bioware just end our suffering already! Pleeeeeaassee, i'm begging at this point!

 

Oh man, I want to see this so bad... Varric, at a loss for words, stuttering? aaaaah. It needs to happen!

 

edit: If they kill Varric, I'll have words. So many words. Ones I usually keep to my thoughts. >.>

...I take it you haven't read Asunder yet.  Oops.   :blush:

 

Without further spoilers, she doesn't go out like a grandmother in bed.  True to her word, she fought to her last breath.  Even saved the life of someone pretty important in the process.

I need to read Asunder as well, but I already spoiled myself about Wynne so that's not a problem for me. :P

Thane, though I teared up pretty badly, I understood why.

Wynne, she was alright and I actually thought of her as a grandmother for some reason, but it would be understandable if she passed due to time.

 

Um actually regarding Wynne...as of Dragon Age Asunder....

Spoiler

I am unaware if there have been books or comics so I lack a bit of knowledge.

I have played a lot of Dragon Age before, 1 and 2, but only got really into it not too long ago.  :blush:

 

Well, I am glad she went out fighting and kicking then, being a hero and all. =]

Three books: The Stolen Throne, a prequel to the first game and has Loghain's backstory; Asunder, which takes place about a year after Kirkwall Incident.; The Masked Empire, which takes place either just before or just after Asunder (I believe just before, because the events of Asunder many consider to be the true start of the mage/templar war.)

 

Two Comics: The Silent Grove: Varric, Isabela and Alistair go off to find some answers; Until We Sleep, which continuation that story.  So far, that's been the only appearance of the actual woman named Bianca.  This was during a prolonged venture into the Fade where Alistair, 'Bela and Varric got stuck there.

I think they can immediately shut the door for Cole because he has the mind of a kid, which is a good point.

Varric? They know he has a fanbase that wants a romance. An excuse is harder to come by.

 

Right now I think that Varric is either not a romance option/some types of inquisitor can't romance him/there are romance-like elements but he isn't a traditional romance. For the third bit of that, I am slightly suspecting, unfortunately, that Varric may end up dying invariably or something.

 

What is it with you people depressing me tonight. Now this is all I will think about... oh the bad feelsssss

Prior to DA, I never bothered with the EU of any of the games I played.  The writing overall is really good though, so anyone that loves DA and a good fantasy story, I'd highly recommend picking the EU up.  :D

Hmm interesting, might have to save up for the Asunder, Masked Empire, and the comics just because Varric is in it.

Varric isn't in Asunder or TME, just the comics.  However, if you don't mind the spoiler, Shale does show up in Asunder.  ;)

Thiiiis! I loved mama Wynne, and her interactions with Alistair ranged from cute to down-right hilarious. "Andraste's knickers, I know how babies are made!" :lol:  pffft!

 

I brought her, Morrigan and Alistair everywhere I went. I felt that she took the role of mother to Alistair (one that he desperately needed) & he helped fill the hole her son left behind.

Well, I don't want to depress the thread further too much right now so I'll save some thoughts for later, but I will say they've purposefully made Varric's characterization darker so you should expect the accompanying feelings from that. The other thing is that I thought that Varric's romance, if present, may knowledge of the death of Bianca or coming to terms with that.

 

 

 

A shotgun aficionado, Goldman decided Varric’s one true love would work best as a pump-action, break-breach loader, multi-shot bolt and grenade thrower.

 

(next quote has to do with whether Varric is a romance option)

 

"I'd better not answer that because if I do, David Gaider, the lead writer, will punch me in the face. So I can't answer that.
I know the answer, but I'm sorry guys. Let's put it this way: Varric loves his crossbow so much... So I don't know whether Varric would be able to let go of his love of Bianca."

 

They've really made a point repeatedly of Varric loving Bianca, so I would guess that a romance would require Varric to know that Bianca is dead (which she may already be) and come to grips with that. That could be in the way of him reuniting with Bianca only for her to die later (which may dependent on player choice)

Yeah! I nearly always had Wynne/Alistair with me. That banter you quoted makes me giggle just remembering it! x3 haha. They were really good for each other in that respect, I agree.

I never took it personally. Love and duty can conflict and she was making sure neither Al or the warden had lost sight of their goal.

Two words for you: Red Herring.   ;)

 

Oh and Until We Sleep did have him come to terms with his past with Bianca.

Oh, I understand that. I would like to know what had transpire after the Kirkwall incident though.

 

She is pretty, and he is in the Fade? Interesting. I am not sure if Bianca is dead or not, but it would make sense if he named the crossbow after her, even if her it is her design.

 

(Also, wow he is strong looking. MmmMmm.. Dang it <___> )

Perhaps, but that hasn't stopped the repeated comments about Bianca being Varric's one true love, etc.

To all the people who say that Varric definitely isn't a romance.

Gyaaaaah... those eyes... :wub: In love with both the VA and the character, I'm gonna need to get his autograph someday :P.

That plot point confused me... Was the discrepancy between what was said in the comics (Bianca designed the crossbow) and what was said in the Legacy DLC (that other dude designed her) ever explained? Or could it be that Varric just took it to him to finish the design after she left?
