This is how my first playthrough will go. Varric: "Can I sit this one out?" Inquisitor: "No! You're coming with me!" Varric: "But you're a rogue yourself! You don't need another rogue to come with you!" Inquisitor: "But I do need awesome party banter!" He is never leaving my party. Ever.
Janne Pussinen , wow, why would you kill a comical yet douchey mage? Not to mention the romance my female hawke had with him that made me smile. Damn you Sir!
I know it's by no means important compared to the rest of the events happening in the game, but I think it would be nice if Varric finds someone to settle down with by the end of this one. He strikes me as the type who would want it but never admit it. Plus he deserves someone nice.
I think a girl named Bianca was a previous love that had something tragic happen to her. He made her a promise but he can't tell anyone what the promise was.
It's kinda weird to Inqisition be carried for some time with the main Antagonist of Da:I who let Corypheus open Breach and Solas wants to rip of Veil in Dragon age 4.
Even though we get like one dwarf per party, it's awesome that every dwarf we get is a badass. Oghren and Varric are two of my favorite DA characters. And the two are so different. Imagine if they teamed up. Oghren would kill anything close and Varric would kill anything at a distance.
I was about to comment that this trailer would be non-canon due to the fact that Varric was in Haven at the time of the explosion, but now that I look again, he IS in Haven here. That explosion was much closer for him than it was in the other trailers. It's like just over the mountains and the village is definitely Haven. Nice details. Good planning.
Yeah. Vivienne in Orlais, Varric in rebuilt Haven, Iron Bull on the Storm Coast. Thankfully this marketing campaign (at least close to release) was more accurate than DA2's 'everything is about fighting that Qunari' BS.
DexDacozed I was acting as though my hawke and inquisitor are two different people and I will play my inquisitor as a different personality type. It's part of my role playing.
So Dorian has to be next. They started with Viv, then went to the other side with Iron Bull, then back to Viv's side with Varric. If they keep up the pattern Dorian will be next. Oh god I hope hes next >.
It's only gonna be for Viv, Varric and Bull. Maybe they'll do one for the Inquisitor because he was in the CGI cutscene but I can't imagine they would with certainty so this is the last one. There will definitely be a launch trailer next Monday though.
Varric is the most magical dwarf ever. He started off as Ginger, then turn to a dull blonde, and now with veil guard he's a brunette. I don't care what mages say. Some dwarves can pull off magic.
Well in this game he comes even earlier . Hawk must I year not meeting him . You character meets him five minutes after the story . I can see even more bromance than even hawke
Was wondering that myself, given that he, a party member, can't be touched beyond friendship, but Cullen, DA's NPC bitch, can be banged. Probably all the fangirls.
***** We have absolutely no information regarding Bianca other than her being the name giver of Varric's crossbow. For all we know, she could still be alive. Many fans are hoping for some sort of closure and that we'll get to see Bianca in Inquisition, or at least get to hear what happened to her.
aeoncz You learn about Bianca and Varric's backstory in Until We Sleep, which was the final part of a 3 part comic series. It's considered a general canon for the 'verse, and no doubt, is part of the official backstory on Varric. What Hyou says is true, Bianca was a woman that Varric loved very, very much and then lost. She became the only story he would never tell, and he named his famous crossbow after her in honor. But it's also proof he isn't over her, nor will he ever be, probably. Also, while Cullen did have a crush, he didn't "bang" the player. It was just a crush. That's it.
Cozz ish In all seriousness, I never knew that the comics were written by Bioware (or at least in part) and thus considered canon. Had I known, I would have probably read them already - thanks for clearing that up! Might have to check them out, but I'm still reading "The Masked Empire" right now, so I don't think I'm going to find the time before starting on DA:I Monday evening.
aeoncz Ooh, nice! I still have to get through Masked Empire. Do you like it? I highly recommend the comics. They follow the line of Alistair as King, but he's got some really fantastic growth in those stories, as does Isabela and Varric. It was very well done, and the artwork was great. :D
Well, it seems Bianca is in really good shape and Varric is reaady for Nov. 18th. BTW, I got the feeling that Hawke will be either the forth advisor to the inquisitor or a secret companion who will be joining the inquisitor team at a later point in the game.
Let me tell you guys that the crafting for Bianca is super cool. You can change the arms and stuff to look physically different. Just another reason to keep Varric around in your party.
There were the Reapers, now there's the Breach. BioWare does love its epic struggles against overpowering evil, don't they? As for Varric...this guy looks pretty cool.
Cool how my best friends turn out to be dwarfs, in Origins my bud was Oghren and in DA2 Varric, besides my beloved girls Morrigan and Isabela Varric and Oghren were always the "compadres" included for the quests.
One week left! The most bad&*^ dwarf in the DA universe and man did I miss Bianca! The reviews are already pouring in with fantastic results though I already pre purchased DAI anyway, but man I cannot wait!
I've never played a Dragon Age game before (I'm a huge fan of the Mass Effect games though), so I don't know that much about the lore or characters. BUT I can say that I like this guy already!
VARRICCCC!! Omg he was ALWAYS in my party in dragon age 2 :) although Fenris was my favorite of all time, good times with Varric :) I can see he grew his beard out and looks almost normal now XD When I get this game, I'm keeping him in my party. Just like good times ^_^
that how bianca works. Bianca is automatic crossbow and as of current lore Bianca is the only known automatic crossbow to exist in Thedas. Original designer of the Weapon's schematics was named Bianca who was Varric's lover before she died.
"Not again..." I love how he just knows he's going to be dragged into this one. So excited to have Varric back in my party.
LilithWolfheart , I think that's because he knows that Cassandra is going to go looking for him... which she ends up doing in the prologue.
That reminded me a little of the whale in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, too. :D
Leomerya12 She didn't go looking for him she seemed to want him to piss off, he pretty much invited himself.
***** "Unwanted tag-along"! You're right!
At least one of the old gang is back again...
0:27 I see you there, Solas...
OMG I DO SEE HIM!!! XD
+Victoria Jean Or it could just some bald guy right? Take your pick
+Nathaniel Smith nah... its actually supposed to be him. ;)
@116400412311370742471 Okay then, right fair ennuf
+Nathaniel Smith Solas says he was in the tavern not far away from the Temple of Sacred Ashes when the rift appeared.
This is how my first playthrough will go.
Varric: "Can I sit this one out?"
Inquisitor: "No! You're coming with me!"
Varric: "But you're a rogue yourself! You don't need another rogue to come with you!"
Inquisitor: "But I do need awesome party banter!"
He is never leaving my party. Ever.
Yeah, he's become my Garrus, the guy I bring everywhere, on every mission, no matter what. The NPC best friend! Fuck yeah! :D
@@cozzbutt he is truly the best!
Never mess with a dwarf and his crossbow.
7 Days.... 7 Days......
I hope we can have Varric early in the game.
He is awesome!
Cassandra, Solus, and Varric are your first three companions.
Everyone should know by now...don't mess with Bianca or Varric.
Simran Whitham
And if Cassandra's there too, you run faster
I bet his first thought was "Dammit Hawke!"
More like "Dammit Anders!"
Trevor Oreius Not in my save: he dead.
Same here(on my templar playthrough), but with Justice inside him. I doubt he's really dead.
Janne Pussinen , wow, why would you kill a comical yet douchey mage? Not to mention the romance my female hawke had with him that made me smile. Damn you Sir!
HE KILLED HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE! No amount of snark can't redeem that.
First of all, that was fucking awesome,
Secondly, I've never noticed how huge Bianca is... Talk about BBW.
Seriously,that thing would probably still look massive even when a human is holding it.
I know it's by no means important compared to the rest of the events happening in the game, but I think it would be nice if Varric finds someone to settle down with by the end of this one. He strikes me as the type who would want it but never admit it. Plus he deserves someone nice.
I think a girl named Bianca was a previous love that had something tragic happen to her. He made her a promise but he can't tell anyone what the promise was.
probably bianca is more then just a crossbow name :P
***** wait, there are comics? i thought bianca was a pragon
Shaman King You're talking about Branka. Bianca was Varric's old lover.
Shaman King You're thinking of Branka, Oghren's ex-wife. And yes, the comics are cool; look them up.
Solas just sitting there innocently as if he had nothing to do with all that :D
It's kinda weird to Inqisition be carried for some time with the main Antagonist of Da:I who let Corypheus open Breach and Solas wants to rip of Veil in Dragon age 4.
Best character out of dragon age 2
Best character out of Dragon Age at all. ^^
@@edgyspaceunicorn7215 Oghren: ._.
@@edgyspaceunicorn7215 Sandal: ._.
He is better than both Sandal and Ogrhen. Though they are both fab!
Its 2018 and im still not over how Varric says "not again"
Oh dang I love him
and he back at it in 2024...he just cann't stay out of the trouble
My man!! ^O^
Sup, MD
Lol XD
B-but Sir Beefcakes... Iron Bull...
Jalen Wheat Oh don't get me wrong! Ser Beefcakes is still my man for DAI but Varric has been my man since DA2. He's forever da man :D
***** Oh I understand. Even if you could withstand his default charm, there are few who can resist his chest hair.
Varric is a true gentleman and the best fellow ever ^^ and Bianca of course! I'm so excited to see them killing demons again!
Just another reason to love Varrics character!
Even though we get like one dwarf per party, it's awesome that every dwarf we get is a badass. Oghren and Varric are two of my favorite DA characters. And the two are so different. Imagine if they teamed up. Oghren would kill anything close and Varric would kill anything at a distance.
You know, I expect him saying "Hawke again"
I was thinking more along the lines of, "Goddammit, Hawke..."
More like "Stupid Blondie".
A nice mix of humans, elves and other..
But not enough dwarves.. So my inquisitor is going to be one.. to even things out with poor Varric.
And Harding! I can't wait to talk to her, hoping we can hang out with her in the skyhold as well.
there is a dwarf grew warden too :D
Shaman King Blackwall is a human.
Floris Kunst no pretty sure he is a dwarf, unless he is a midget
Shaman King there is a couple of gameplay vis witha dwarven inquisitor, only other warden dwarf is from origins
I was about to comment that this trailer would be non-canon due to the fact that Varric was in Haven at the time of the explosion, but now that I look again, he IS in Haven here.

Best thing to come out of Dragon Age 2, Varric is an amazing character!
Seeing the xbox logo for once felt refreshing
Your sarcasm hasn't gone unnoticed kind sir and has earned you a thumbs up.
I honestly don't know how I hadn't seen this until now.
The noise I made was unholy.
AHHHHH! I can't wait! I've missed Varric so much, I'm playing DA2 again!
He looks so different but will my inquisitor have the same type of bromance Hawke and Varric had?
DexDacozed Yeah pretty much. It depends on how good friends you are with him.
DexDacozed I'm not daft mate, I'm pretty sure I know that.
DexDacozed I was acting as though my hawke and inquisitor are two different people and I will play my inquisitor as a different personality type. It's part of my role playing.
Rodrick Perry I know what you mean, and I hope so too. Varric was a cool and friendly guy in DA2, hopefully he'll be the same in DA:Inquisition
philipje1 right.
Varric is the bro of the Inquisition.
So Dorian has to be next. They started with Viv, then went to the other side with Iron Bull, then back to Viv's side with Varric. If they keep up the pattern Dorian will be next. Oh god I hope hes next >.
nope just these three
Jake Walker
That would be really annoying... Dorian is the one persons I've been looking forward to since seeing Viv's.
Tyler Wolff It's the Inquisitor's one and then that's it. But they have other stuff planned for other companions.
It's only gonna be for Viv, Varric and Bull. Maybe they'll do one for the Inquisitor because he was in the CGI cutscene but I can't imagine they would with certainty so this is the last one. There will definitely be a launch trailer next Monday though.
Tyler Wolff I'm not really sure why they did a trailer for varric.
"Oh, not again" = instant replay of the entire dragon age 2 story in my head.
solas was just sitting there...waiting...omg 0:25
Loving these companion trailers
Varric will always be my choice for parties, bar nights and being my wingman.
How *exactly* did you manage to make Varric MORE kick-ass?!
Varric is the most magical dwarf ever. He started off as Ginger, then turn to a dull blonde, and now with veil guard he's a brunette. I don't care what mages say. Some dwarves can pull off magic.
Ayo ain’t that Solas in the corner?
Right? I came here to say the same. I am surprised that its not mentioned more
I thought he would say "what have you done now hawke"
Solas in the corner. Plotting. lol
So glad we could have him along again. Wouldn't be the same without him, even if it kinda hurts to know what he's going to go through....
"ugh not again" oh my god i love him
This is why Varric is a must in any hero's party.
I love that Biana is basically a shotgun now.
I love the explosion sound effects! Can't wait to get the game next week! :)
Behold our legendary Paragon of Manliness!
I really liked the traditional Irish music for the tavern it really set the mood.
My Inquisitor will have the same bromance with Varric as my Hawke did :)
Nobody could have the same relationship like Varric and Hawke lol
Well in this game he comes even earlier . Hawk must I year not meeting him . You character meets him five minutes after the story . I can see even more bromance than even hawke
I am so bloody happy Varric is back!
Seven more days the anticipation is killing me.
Is that Solas at mark 0:25 on the right corner?
I love varric !!!!
Hope he make cameo in DA4...and please dont let him die or i'll feed you're own eye inquisitor
Varric, the Whiteknight
I think the last video with the Inquisitor comes out on the evening of Monday 17th with a few hours left till the release !
Hottest Dragon Age char EVER... and not romanceable. Nice going Bioware. :P
Was wondering that myself, given that he, a party member, can't be touched beyond friendship, but Cullen, DA's NPC bitch, can be banged. Probably all the fangirls.
*****

Had I known, I would have probably read them already - thanks for clearing that up! Might have to check them out, but I'm still reading "The Masked Empire" right now, so I don't think I'm going to find the time before starting on DA:I Monday evening.

Varrics first thought: Damnit blondie not this again.
Varric, defender of all damsells in distress
Varric, my bro, my love-how I missed you sooo much...
These companion trailers are awesome! And i'm glad to see Varric's still got it.
I love that celtic reel music there, i really, really hope they'll gonna implement something like this to the tavern music in DA4
Got to love Varric and his crossbow.
Varric Tethras = MANTASTIC
YEAAAH BUDDY! Glad to see you again Varric!
Fuck yeah. Varric is a badass. My favourite companion in a Bioware game ever. So excited for the 18th!
Well, it seems Bianca is in really good shape and Varric is reaady for Nov. 18th.
BTW, I got the feeling that Hawke will be either the forth advisor to the inquisitor or a secret companion who will be joining the inquisitor team at a later point in the game.
Looks like we're going on another adventure Bianca.
I wish Varric looked this good in game. Nothing wrong with him, but here he just looks.. Hot.
+Jaquiline Kangas Nah, he looksboring and way too brutal here. I got used to in-game Varric.
Best companion and best bro! He needs to be a companion in all DA games
I'm going to sleep. Wake me on the midnight release.
I miss Oghren...
I love Varric he has good sense of humour
I like this, seeing where the different companions are at during the 'event'. I hope there is one for everybody
is that solas at 0:25
Thus continuing my entire summation of the last game: I LOVE VARRIC!
Why the 'not again'? I don't recall the sky opening in DAO or DA 2?
I think the not again meant he knows he's about to get sucked into something epic, that his easy going life is about to become a lot less easy going.
He means he's about to be pulled into some major shit again.
Umm I recall somekind of magic opening when the Chantry was destroyed in Kirkwall, maybe that.
Big explosion on DA2, that didn't end well.
Bob Jacobs , definitely what the others said. Also, he knows Cassandra will go looking for him, which she ends up doing in the game.
solas at 0:27 👀
Let me tell you guys that the crafting for Bianca is super cool. You can change the arms and stuff to look physically different. Just another reason to keep Varric around in your party.
The always lovable Varic!!!
Ahh my favorite little dwarf Varric
VARRIC!! I MISSED YOU!
VARRIC!
When can we have more of these character trailers??? PLEASE!
Love these character intro vids.
Wish they were a bit longer tho.
I'd really like a movie with this kind of CGI :)
Each trailer is so unique. I like varric's trailer it's heroic
There were the Reapers, now there's the Breach. BioWare does love its epic struggles against overpowering evil, don't they?
As for Varric...this guy looks pretty cool.
Varric is best companion in any Bioware game :)
Cool how my best friends turn out to be dwarfs, in Origins my bud was Oghren and in DA2 Varric, besides my beloved girls Morrigan and Isabela Varric and Oghren were always the "compadres" included for the quests.
Perhaps a no-brainer for most but I would cast Peter Dinklage as Varric in a dragon age movie.
Only thing is DA dwarves are well, bigger than IRL dwarves.
One week left! The most bad&*^ dwarf in the DA universe and man did I miss Bianca! The reviews are already pouring in with fantastic results though I already pre purchased DAI anyway, but man I cannot wait!
I've never played a Dragon Age game before (I'm a huge fan of the Mass Effect games though), so I don't know that much about the lore or characters. BUT I can say that I like this guy already!
I can't get over how...beautiful his face is xD it surprised me the first time I saw the change lol. I'm so excited! >:D
I don't just want it anymore. I physically NEED it!
I have to admit, I am excited to hear Vivienne banter with Varric.
How am I going to get thru my work day on Monday??? I love this.
I'm giving a like for the Paragon of Manliness :D
Bianca got an upgrade over the years.
VARRICCCC!! Omg he was ALWAYS in my party in dragon age 2 :) although Fenris was my favorite of all time, good times with Varric :) I can see he grew his beard out and looks almost normal now XD When I get this game, I'm keeping him in my party. Just like good times ^_^
Bianca gets very weak you have to do a bunch of other shit to modify her
It'll be a challenge, but worth it if I get to hear his party banter!
You find upgrades earley on improving Bianca , but I haven't found any lately
Way to go, Varric!!! You will definitely be in my party!!!
Does other people spot Solas around 0:26 too in the background, sure looks like him and his fluffy coat thingy version.
Cant wait for this game to release!
So badass!
one more week!!!!!!! And i get my bud Varric back :D!
Huh, that's cool Cassandra and Solas are in the tavern too.
0:25-0:27. And also, 0:30-0:32. You can see Solas.
varric's entire life is a "uuugh whyy"
He just reloaded his crossbow like a shotgun? It had the cocking noise and everything.
that how bianca works. Bianca is automatic crossbow and as of current lore Bianca is the only known automatic crossbow to exist in Thedas.
Original designer of the Weapon's schematics was named Bianca who was Varric's lover before she died.
