WHAT DO YOU MEAN VARRIC HAD BANTER WITH THE OTHERS 😭

»Kirkwall’s coat of arms is a stylized knot work representation of a dragon. It evolved from a symbol of rebellion from the time when Kirkwall was a center for the Tevinter slave trade. It was an image that catalyzed the slaves to overthrow the ruling magisters. While the symbol has changed over time, its message has not: Kirkwall is a city unto itself, beholden to no one.«

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. I am so funny for this

Varric's cut lines in Veilguard

In another feat of ME2 similarities, Varric apparently used to have a role similar to Kelly Chambers, telling Rook about new letters and to check on companions when they have new quests available. I don't think these lines can be heard in the game now, but they still remain in the files.

Transcripts can be found under "Read More".

Interestingly enough, one of the lines about the mail features a mention of the group's base being "on the back of a giant Fade creature." Lighthouse may have changed a lot during the development!

EDIT: Someone messaged me to say that they heard one of the lines about Lucanis in their playthrough, so the companion lines may actually trigger in the game. Probably not the letters, though, since Rook doesn't have a letter desk, and only the Missives section in the Library interface.

Bellara:

I think you should make sure Bellara's okay, Rook.

Rook? You might want to see what Bellara's up to.

Hey, Rook. I think something's up with Bellara.

Davrin:

Hey, Rook. Maybe see what's up with Davrin? He seems to have his hands full.

Is Davrin all right? I heard gryphon screeching and a lot of cursing just now.

You might want to check on Davrin.

Emmrich:

Hey, Rook. There was either muttering or chanting coming from Emmrich's room. Maybe… check that out?

Hey, Rook, could you check on Emmrich? He seems… weirder than usual.

Rook, could you check on Emmrich? I think I heard him talking to himself. Weird, even for him.

Harding:

Is Harding all right? I don't want to say that she's scaring me more than usual, but… she is.

Rook, could you check on Harding? She's doing that… terrifyingly cheery thing she does.

I'm getting a little worried about Harding, Rook. Maybe see what's going on with her, would you?

Lucanis:

Rook, you realize Lucanis had eleven cups of coffee today? Maybe… see if he's still alive?

Lucanis looks broodier than usual. Maybe you should check in on him.

You should always keep an eye on the broody ones, Rook. By which I mean Lucanis. He's starting to worry me.

Neve:

Hey, is something up with Neve? Maybe you should check on her.

Okay, so Neve hasn't left her room in… I don't know how long. See if she's trapped under something heavy.

Is it just me, or does Neve seem preoccupied? Worse than usual, I mean.

Taash:

Do you smell smoke, Rook? Maybe you should go… check on Taash.

So… I heard what sounded like Taash beating the shit out of something. Maybe see what's up?

There were a lot of… punching sounds coming from Taash's direction. You might want to see if there's casualties.

Mail:

You got more letters. You want me to chuck them somewhere? Out a window, maybe?

Hey, Rook. Someone sent you a letter.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you know your mail's starting to pile up, right?

Mail's here. Who makes deliveries to "Weird base on the back of a giant Fade creature"?

I asked Varric if he wanted to hang out and he said he was too busy conditioning his chest hair.

dragon age twitter au? dragon age twitter au. VARRIC/HAWKE EDITION

I'm just thinking a lot about these back to back conversations we've been witness to...

The way sera fuels her one sided rivalry with varric. She does Not Care about what is outside her lane, she don't know shit about the fade outside whatever the chantry repeated all her life, but she respects people's strengths, and i think that's where she tries to find common ground in people. Like, even though she's surprised when vivienne doesnt recognize/respects her in return, she doesn't let that shake her. bc she's still

1. a mage and, 2. an asshole

but varric... he can do everything she can in combat, he's also funny, laidback, easy to talk to, The Head of a spy network that he makes run...

"So What" she says, unprompted... lol

Inquisition crew walking about

Varric- so you lost your eye in a fight?

Bull- yeah, protecting Krem. Step in between Krem and a guy with a flail. They were holding krem down when I walked in

Varric- sounds like a bunch of jerks but he had good aim

Bull- what makes you say that?

Varric- well he did get a perfect bull’s eye

Sera, now cackling - bullseye! They got bull’s eye

Bull, grumpy- yes, thanks for that

Varric- never saw it that way?

Sera rolling on the ground now - he can’t see cause he lost his eye
