Oooh LOTR! I've actually got a question for you, what nicknames do you think Varric would give to the members of the Fellowship/the Company?

 

I need to know because reasons :whistle:

 

Sorry I can't answer LOTR and Harry Potter are the ones I don't know much about^^; Couldn't get into the books and fell asleep any time I tried to watch the moives. Sorry^^;

Because I love pokemon crossovers, anyone familiar with pokemon help me make a team for our favorite dwarf :P

 

My first vote is Meowth :P

 

meowth is good! perhaps also a growlithe because he is cute and loyal, and a sneasel because he is sneaky? xD

Here's a meta one:

Varric is playing DA. What's his world state like?

Snarky Hawke, of course. I feel as though he'd have also chosen to recruit Logain (and probably Zevran) he's a practicaly person and Alistair's demands for justice would have probably fallen on deaf ears.

 

 

I would say eevee. It's got so many possibilities and he would love the drama of evolution right at the last moment he needed something done!

I think the real question is, though, what pokemon would each character be if they got turned into pokemon?

 

Hmmm I feel as though Varric would be a normal type... what's that one with the ink on his tail? That might actually be a good fit...

 

Of definitely evee, dunno if he'd ever have the heart to evolve it though. Betcha anything it'd evolve into Umbreon or Espeon seeing as how those require high friendship :P

Oh, facepalm... I read that completely wrong, accidentally a few words there. 

 

I love digimon yugioh and card captors :P

 

Assigning character digimon partners is one of my all time favorite things to do, right next to giving them pokemon teams (my nerdiness knows no bounds)

Hmm, idk about Logain. While Varric is practical, he's also incredibly loyal, and It would take a lot to make him forgive the person that killed they grey wardens and let alistair be angry and leave.

Growlith fits Aveline way way too well though :P

 

perhaps maybe Herdier? Similarly loyal and cute, but not quite as closely tied to the "lawful good" alignment and most importantly, not red in color. Plus its pre-evolution knows pick up, a handy skill for a guy like Varric I'd think.

Hmm, probably no romance, and a neutral-good alignment. Friends with everyone! Except maybe Morrigan... he wouldn't like her attitude or her eagerness to choose options that can hurt innocent people. I could see him and Alistair being good friends, same for Zevran. ...If he didn't spontaneously shoot him with Bianca after his initial attempt to assassinate him... xD

At the same time, I can't see him killing a guy in front of his daughter...

 

Actually I think what probably happened is that he hardened Alistair and got him to marry Anora, win win for everyone :P

 

The real question is whether he would side with Bhelen or Harrowmont, I guess it would depend partially on which origin story he'd choose (would he stay a dwarf, if so would he go for noble or commoner?) We know that he kinda approves Bhelen's policies, but would he approve of him in the context given in the game? The whole "betraying his brother" thing might hit a little close to home.

Agreed, good points! growlithe was just the first dog that came to mind, I'm probably a little biased because it was my favorite pokemon ever as a kid. xD I can totally see Aveline with a growlithe/arcanine though... totally.

Now I'm playing pokemon... Need to dig through the pokedex to consider teams

Bulbapedia is an excellent resource :P I used it to put together teams for the ME characters :P.

 

Smeargle was the pokemon I was thinking of, that pokemon might reflect his writing... we've got a dog for his loyalty, Meowth for his fondness for gold and cleverness. Maybe another pokemon to reflect his charisma, one to reflect his sneakiness/job as a knowledge broker, and one to reflect Bianca. Any thoughts?

Breloom has a special place in my heart, whenever I do these crossover pokemon things I also try to give at least one character breloom/shroomish. Not sure who would fit them for Dragon Age, maybe Aveline, or that Dalish Warrior in witch hunt? 

 

Growlithe's actually way up there as far as my favorite pokemon go, but none of the versions I played ever came with it, so I never got a chance to develop a close bond.

 And why Houndoom?

Because it looks like something you would find in an epic tale. A hellhound of sorts.

 

I think Varric isnt as interested in money as he is the kind of glory you receive in heroic stories.

Varric loves stories, but he also kind of uses them to escape the harsh reality of his own life, in which he's forced to make many decisions based on money because that's how his world works. He might describe himself as the type to own a Houndoom (though really, I think he'd be more likely to give such a pokemon to Hawke) but he'd actually use a pokemon like Meowth. He doesn't like drawing the wrong sort of attention to himself, and scary looking Houndoom's definitely draw the sort of attention.

Hmm... Cubone (who carries the memento of the dead... I feel bad even saying that *cry*)

I forget its type, but im inclined to think Valenna, as despicable as she is.

 

Merril would likely have a Missingno. Because how could she resist its secrets?

In that case, id actually say one of the man made pokemon. Bianca is a wonderful piece of technology, and i feel that his interest would carry over.

I think he might actually choose to leave Sten in the cage... he is a Qunari, if someone as non-conventional as IB puts Varric on edge, imagine how well he'd get along with Sten. 

 

On the other hand, it is a game he's playing, while I think that still wouldn't be enough to get him to "roleplay" liking Sten, I can see him appreciating Morrigan as an interesting anti-hero/token evil teammate, even if he wouldn't necessarily get along with her IRL (we'll find out more about their canon relationship in DAI).

Breloom is fighting/grass which is why I was hesitant to give it to Valenna (a mage) but it does otherwise suit her.

 

Rotom maybe? That's a man-made pokemon I believe.

Looking at the man made pokemon there's not a whole lot that would really fit Varric (maybe Porygon) though it is a good sentiment.

 

 

 

Hmm... Cubone (who carries the memento of the dead... I feel bad even saying that *cry*)

 

Oooh that's a good one, it'd be perfect if Bianca was confirmed as dead... nice line of thinking.

I've loved pokemon since I was 10, but I just can't seem to find a good one that fits Bianca well.... hrrrrm. >:| this is tougher than I anticipated lol. But the cubone suggestion is really good.

Im going to go with Mewtwo. Not because he fits, but because Mewtwo is ****** amazing.
