I'm really sorry to hear that Varric isn't a love interest. I am primarily a Cullenite, but I was hoping he would be one too. ![]()

I just heard, my condolences to you all!
Varric was the LI I was secondly hoping for the most, so this is very bitter-sweet news to me.
I'm not gonna be mad. It's not my game to decide what happens. But I can't help but feel pretty broken up right now. I guess wanting to stay hopeful has finally bitten me in the back. *deep breaths*
I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE RIPPED THE BAND-AID OFF MUCH FASTER.
Take care of yourself dear.
I thought sleeping on it would make the news a bit easier to handle but I woke up feeling worse. I guess I'm not as collected as I thought I was.
S'okay. I'm a big girl. I can handle it...I can handle...it....
You too Silkie..

Yeahhhh. This isn't their fault, though. Marketing (I think plz correct if I am wrong) are pretty disconnected from the fan-element and they call the shots on announcements.
I'm out of likes again but would give one to each and every one of the positive, supportive posts since the news. This really is the sweetest thread on BSN.
-rubs head- I'm just leaving the thread for a while.
I don't want to see people arguing. I'm already hormonal and stressed as it is. Don't need more annoyance.
I understand that sentiment completely. I'm usually the same way. Feel better, yo.

I understand. A little bit. I'm still transitioning through my anger and sadness stage into my acceptance stage, so logic is temporarily disabled. ![]()
I'm now thinking that my Cadash will go for Solas, feeling he's different from the men in the Carta. Or maybe Cassandra, sort of Romeo and Juliet, the carta prince and the chief of police.
Yeah, I think we can put the art requests from yesterday on hold, at least for now.
I'm still gonna pull through and get all this art done! I may be sad but I will use this sadness as artistic fuel! Because emotions and art...and stuff, right? And sad music will help. Maybe I shouldn't go overboard or I'll end up making the actual artwork sad.
What happened? Why are you all saying that there is no romance?

I'm thinking Sera for my Cadash. A mafia princess and a Friend of Red Jenny would get up to all sorts of adorable mischief.

Time to decide who my Cadash will go for as well... Solas does seem like a good candidate. I hope now more than ever that his semi-confirmation is actually true.

It's confirmed. No romance.I'm sorry, hun. We're all processing the news together. Feel free to stay in here with us if you'd like a shoulder to cry/lean/vent on.

Varric is confirmed as not a LI.

My condolences every one. Dwarves never seem to get much love in this series. Although I am finding myself a little surprised at people saying they don't want to play DA:I anymore because of this news. Let's put things into perspective! Although....if Cassandra turns out to be race-gated...

Yeah, nevermind, I'll be right there with you in your unbridled rage if that happens.
I can't offer you my empathy (yet), but know that you have my sympathy.

Too true...
I know Varric has always had his mysterious past with Bianca, and in the back of my mind I felt like it was there to be brought to light eventually, and this was the most obvious option, but man if we weren't hopeful, dammit. And I still hope that one day Dwarves will get the option to be loved.
I feel much better now seeing that I'm not alone in my disappointment, and moreso seeing all the lovely people comforting us diehard Varricmancers. Normally the Bioware fandom is pretty insufferable, but this may be the first time I've seen a general positive atmosphere on BSN. You people are awesome. Thank you.
I mostly lurked anyway, but I suppose now it'd be best to stay off of BSN until the game comes out, hah. I'm actually kind of excited to destroy Thedas; I've never done an evil playthrough in any Bioware game, should be interesting to change my canon.

Er....forget what I said.
Honestly I've just never been good with rejection... ![]()
The game still look great though...I can't imagine not playing it after all of this.

Oh no Elanor 
I will hug every single one of you that is yet to show up...

Because...you see...
Ah hell. You ever heard that great song American Pie? Well, today's the day official Varricmance died. But like all the Shoker shipping, we will live on. We will rebuild, and grow stronger. We will face the monsters that are at our door.
We are cancelling the pessimism!
Well, of course Varric is not a LI. Why would they make a Li from the best companion... I don't know what I was expecting... ;/
What are the last two romances then?
Noooo
Why didn't they just tell us sooner? that way my now broken heart would at least have time to heal before the game is released. I knew it was a very slim chance but....I was still very hopeful and now I'm crushed
I'm only interested in Varric,Cullen and Solas for LI's . I sure hope Solas will be one then,if not my inquisitors will only have Cullen....
Now excuse me while I go cry into a corner....
