Why would it? He wasn't a romance option in DA2, and it didn't stop us finding him hot.
(I am pretty sure being dead wouldn't stop me finding Varric hot, to be honest.)
Least shocking reply ever.

With the support of other thread members and each other, I haven't taken this news remarkably bad.
I love you all.
Yeah, there are Varric fans in the Varric thread. What a marvelous discovery you've made.
This, I like..I am out.
I'm glad (and surprised) the usual haters haven't spat on our faces.
I'd say I'm snarky and bitchy, but I'm not evil.
I hope things turn out in your favour some other way, now that that bit of information made itself known.
This is disturbingly hypnotic.
Everyone who has posted their hugs and sympathies are lovely. Thank you for your concern
Your support outweighs any discouragement from others.
I've gotta get ready for work now guys. Much love. I'll check in later

I just heard the news and wanted to tell all the varricmancers how very sorry I am. Varric would have made a great romance but the writers have other plans for him.
*****Hugs****
I just hope we can give our favorite dwarf a happy ending.

Hey, if BioWare would've given the option to steal Bianca (the person) from Varric, it would've been a fair trade. Dat ass.
I would've shown her how a real dwarf does the nasty.
Just wandered online and seen the news. I am so, so sorry everyone. You are all a community of fantastic, warm, friendly people and I wish you'd got the news so many of us hoped for.
*big hugs*
Thank you Char 
I'm out of likes...
-hugs- Thanks Char.
To all of you amazing people who popped in to offer us your sympathies: THANK YOU! And cheers!

We all knew that there was a very real risk that this would happen, and honestly it's ok. Bioware's characters and stories are so loved because they are good, not because they do exactly what the fanbase wants. So if they say no Varricmance, well that's just the way it is. We're sad now, but it will get better. Honestly, I'm more upset over how we were allowed to get our hopes up for so long. It would have been preferable if we got the same treatment that Cole, Leliana and Morrigan fans got, a clear NO from the beginning.
The Varricmancers will survive, we'll mourn for a while but with your support I'm sure that we'll be back to our happy gif-partying ways in no time. ![]()
I just heard the news, thought I'd drop by to give you my sympathies. I'm really sorry, Varricmancers.
I just came by to express my condolences.

You know what? It isn't over. Varric isn't over, and I hope that no matter what happens to his character he's happy, and Bioware do him justice. We're all depressed atm, but there's still mountains of stuff to look forward to.
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive.
I knew this was a possibility but I guess I thought he had a real shot this time. I'm hurtin' over the news ![]()
Bianca is his lady it would be vary hard to come up with a romance story that would justify it.

Oh Twiggy 
Dropping in to offer my condolences to the Varricmancers (a bit late, but I just woke up) ![]()
It's sad that the Cullen fangirls got their wish, while the Varric fans get left in the dust. Disappointing, but not surprising.
If it's any consolation, there's at least one more character who is not going to be designated as a LI (Blackwall's my favourite but I'm not hopeful for his chances).
