Yeeeah, my first like of the day. I know what you mean, it feels like people are just constantly slapping us down, whether they mean to or not, that's how it feels and it gets a bit disheartening after a while... and then there are those that insinuate that we must be mentally ill, like, thanks guys that's...that's really kind of you...

"Varric shouldn't be a romance because Bianca"

"Varric cannot be a romance because he's my bro"

"Making Varric a romance destroys his character"

"Dwarves are gross and fat"

The list goes on.

I think we've heard every comment in existence already. Is it too much to ask for some positive posts for once?

I have grown very uncomfortable with visiting this thread as it's already a big enough struggle not knowing what his LI status really is.

Plus, mental illness comments are incredibly insensitive as there are high functioning mentally ill persons in this thread.

You know, it would be so great if you went in blind and thought Varric flirts wouldn't amount to anything again. So you tell him he's handsome and tease him but as expected he kindly brushes you off or changes the subject. You shrug and go; "oh well , guess it's like DA2 again". But then after some time, he's having another conversation with your Inquisitor. You're just sitting next to him in camp talking about something  and in mid-sentence this happens

:wub:

 

Not going to lie that would be amazing~ Cause going in blind and assuming they were fake flirts I'd still pick them just like I still do for DA2 but if that little scenario you just described happened I'd think I'd have to splash cold water on me or something cause I'd be convinced that I was having another detailed dream about DAI  :lol:

I'm all for spontaneous kisses so it'd be a double bonus :wub:

I think my favorite dumb excuse for why there should not be dwarven LIs was someone comparing it to having a romance with a child, because we know all short people are children right?

Oh yeah, next to a 6ft tall adult male I must be a 10-year-old at 5ft2. -_-

People, really?

From what I understand, this complaint was originally a semi-legitimate one that ended up taken out of context. Like... From what I understood, some people saw the proportions of the dwarf next to their LI and purposefully went in and made their PCs look as creepy young as possible and were posting videos of it. Then the devs saw and were creeped out, commented on it, and next thing you know "romancing a dwarf is creepy because it's like romancing a child." 

 

So... yeah. Originally a valid complaint, but now, most people that say that are just being ridiculous. It's only creepy when weirdos make it creepy.

I was actually part of that 7%, which im fairly proud of.

My dwarven casteless rogue was my first playthrough. Still my favorite origin.

 

It's funny because people who haven't played the dwarf origin often get a good impression of Bhelen because he's a reformist. And those who know him from the origin hate his guts xD

While he has little sense of morals, I still prefer Bhelen to Harrowmont because while he may take away rights from the Dwarven nobles in the Assembly he does give more rights to the casteless and I'd rather support those who've been traditionally badly treated and oppressed.

hah hah. That's exactly the heights of my boyfriend and I. :P Gotta say, the height difference can be annoying, though.

I second this, this place used to be so laid back, then people had to start coming in and tell us why Varric wouldn't be an LI. I'm sick of all the Debbie downers

Yeah, I always go with Bhelen even when I'm a noble. I just figure my Dwarf is practical and knows that her brother will make an excellent king. Good man or not.

Also, did anyone else get choked up a little when Gorim comes to see you in the cell and you've had a mini romance with him ? It always makes me sad.

 

 

"I will always be your man, Lady Aeducan."

 

Yup, my feelings can't handle it, I get sad just thinking about it.

People are getting a little worked up with the whole 'mystery' of the last LIs and all... It's annoying. Reveal the last 2 LIs Bioware and stop making everyone tense.

Yeah, or you could always play a strongly "family first" type noble dwarf who is mad at Bhelen for turning on his family, but still doesn't want to stoop to his level and wants to see an Aeducan on the throne, even if it is Bhelen.

*Stops lurking the thread* Frankly if dwarves can romance Qunari in DAI, they should sure as hell be able to romance another dwarf. Varric is def my number one choice as a romance, still keeping my fingers crossed. Don't give up, Varricmancers, stay positive! *Starts lurking thread again*

I have many of no romance lady dwarf runs because of Gorrim actually, my noble asking him to hold her in his arms one last time was very touching and a little saddening. Darn them for making Gorrim to amazing for my nobles to move on from.

Seriously, just crush every ones dreams already and get it over with so we can all move on. I'm kind of sick of talking about romances to be honest.

Definitely my favorite of the origin story companions, he was just so damn cool, and handsome.

 

And yeah, having her never love again or something like that makes it even worse. But it does make sense.
