Dragon Age 4 Trailer
Okay, I am 100% aware that I'm going to be in the minority on this but...
I have nothing against Varric. In fact, I adore Varric. He's a great character and I enjoy having him around. But one of the things I like about Dragon Age as a series is that we get introduced to new characters and new places in the world. And I like how the stories build on what came before, which is difficult when you have a character who could have been involved in the backstory in numerous different ways, and you need to move the story forward in a way that 1. is comprehensible to new players and 2. doesn't break the universe for anyone who played a previous game.
Also, I am dreading the inevitable fandom drama when Varric is unromanceable yet again -- and I would be deeply, deeply shocked if the devs changed their minds on this one.
Now maybe he's just narrating the trailer. If so, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Time will tell I suppose.
