Talk:Varric Tethras

If were going to discuss possible romance options for D.A. 2 I think Varric being a possible romance option for a female Hawke would be interesting(maybe not "good") but interesting.--J Shepard (talk) 17:47, November 22, 2010 (UTC) Varric

Why ISN'T Varric romanceable?
I mean come on, he's the coolest thing since sliced bread. AND has quite a lot of charm.

I'm going to completely spoil the end of the game for you now, since you asked this. SPOILER ALERT. By the time the game ends, Hawke has disappeared and all his companions have been separated from him, except the character he romanced, who has disappeared with him. If Varric was romanceable, then Cassandra might not have been able to find him. --Davilimap (talk) 13:02, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing, but then realized what Davil said. (Guest)

"There's power in stories, though. That's all history is: the best tales. The ones that last. Might as well be mine." I think this quote tells us more about Varric then the one currently up on the page. Is there a protocol for changing the chara quote, or can we just flip it out? --Lia Cousland (talk) 06:28, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Changing Outfit
■Varric and Sebastian are the only party members whose armor will never change throughout the story (the others change if romanced and Aveline whose changes in Act II and III).

I believe this is incorrect, Fenris and Isabela also dont change Outfits during the Game (no matter if romanced or not)


 * Nope, their outfit changes are just minor; but they *do* change. Isabella gains armor on one arm, Fenris gains a belt buckle with your crest on it, and a red bit of cloth on his arm. Varric and cleric boy are the only ones to not have a change in their attire. --Lia Cousland (talk) 01:48, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * True for Fenris, even though it is a really small change, as you said. But i did romance Isabela and I didn't get a new outfit (I checked, no armor on the arms)... maybe bugged? --77.2.210.59 (talk) 22:56, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bug confirmed. check her page, I added a shot of her romance armor. You need to hit her with a maker's sigh potion for it to switch over after you romance her. Careful, as she's one of the buggier companions to keep around.

Voiced?
Wondering who voiced him. His voice eerily reminds me of Lucien Lachance... Which leaves an odd feeling when the flirty or smooth dialogue comes up... Also, anybody else giggle like a giddy schoolgirl whenever they run around as Varric?... Just me? --Geotexan (talk) 22:12, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Varric armor's slots dissapear
I need comfirmation; during act 3 i made his personal quest after Find Nathaniel, i think ( not sure ) that the upgraded Vianca cause this, all his armor slots gone, please comfirm.

Aggro generated by Varric.
Has anyone else noticed that Varric draws a large amount of aggro? I can't quite track down what causes him to be a good distraction. I know its got a lot to do with his ranged damage output (depending on build and runes), but there is another factor involved also, maybe his companion armor but I am not entirely convinced that's it.

Friendship / Rivalry
IMO there shouldn't be so few quests that would affect Varric's Friendship and Rivalry. Care to share everybody?

I've found this: Act 3, "Alone" quest, choosing to hand Fenris over to Danarius gets (+10) Rivalry from Varric. Also, the first quest listed under Varric's Friendship section shouldn't be "Bait and Switch" but the one in which Varric asks Hawke to talk to him in the Hanged Man, not sure what name it was called. --Zephyrius (talk) 10:47, June 30, 2011 (UTC)Zephyrius
