The revelation that Bianca was aware of the red lyrium operation in Dragon Age Inquisition , and keeping vital information about that fact from Varric, ends her visit to Skyhold with a tense confrontation between the two in which Bianca both apologizes and justifies her actions, and in which Varric seems both deeply disappointed and tired.
The Inquisitor can step in, choose a side, or ask them both to step back. Bianca plays it cool as always, although we can see how much Varric still means to her.
She threatens the Inquisitor if Varric comes to harm, and even during the mission to the Deep Roads, she invites Varric to stop by for another tryst—another few stolen moments for the lovers among dozens over the years.
Still, he's unhappy as she departs, and from the conversation that ensues with the Inquisitor, it's apparent that this is a big moment for Varric, and I think it's about more than just choosing a side or seeing the big picture here. Right here is when I think Varric starts to let go of Bianca permanently.
At long last. My bet is that Varric's discovery of Bianca's role in Dragon Age Inquisition finally caused him to break free from her, and that—at last—all those people who wanted their chance at romancing the guy with the best chest hair in Thedas may finally get their chance. This is why I don't just think he'll be an advisor in the next game, following the tried and true "Cullen" Dragon Age path from soldier to commander—I also think, as with Cullen, that finally Varric may in fact After all, this is a formula that's worked for BioWare in the games in the past—popular game characters evolve from romanced companions to advisors or compatriots, or vice versa, as we've seen in the case of Leliana, Cassandra, and Cullen, and that we'll witness again next, I suspect, with Dorian who I'm betting will be an unromanceable advisor , and Varric.
If I'm right, Varric won't just be laying his traps and pulling on those spiderwebs, he'll also—I swear to Andruil—be available for those patient Varric thirsters wanting to finally swipe right. This scenario also worries me as someone who adores Varric and doesn't want anything to happen to him. Let's face it, if Varric were Ahab, then red lyrium would be his white whale.
It's literally touched, altered or destroyed almost everything he loved. Will he defeat it? Or will it sink him at last? If it does, I can almost guarantee you that he'd simply die with a wry smile and an appropriately literary and witty observation as his last words.
The sad part is, Varric will have had years in which to compose those words, because I think some part of him always knew that the fight wasn't over, and that because he was there for the discovery of red lyrium in the beginning, he would have an additional part to play in the end, as well.
That's why Dragon Age 4 may very well hold the highest danger for Thedas's most popular novelist yet—and the biggest threat not just to his life, but to his heart. Post a Comment.

A demon possessing Bianca will then possess his corpse and you can either destroy it or let it inhabit Varric's body so he remains a party member. All of the party members are horrified by this decision if you choose to do so but Cole who is just confused. He becomes an ally of Kirkwall otherwise and starts to bring together the lands.
Helping fight the fight. No surprises there. She's also jealous on some level that you, actually, are Chosen by the Maker it seems. You can crush her faith or restore it. She'd like to see it rebuilt from the ground up. Last edited by a moderator: Nov 16, Just Lacking all conviction Validated User.

You ask him about the red lyrium, he will tell you that he had to get a vault built that would nullify the effects of the red lyrium idol piece that he kept in DAO. User Info: omnigodboy. I haven't gotten past skyhold on my world-state where he kept it, but so far he's said the has a supermax vault as previously mentioned and has hired researchers to study it. He said he lets them work on it for 10 minutes at a time or something like that and then they get a week off to recover from the effects so nobody goes bonkers.
