Dragon Age 2 - Characters Varric and Isabela

"I know everyone in this city. Well, everyone worth knowing."

Words are his trade, exaggeration his specialty—Varric can make or break a legend without lifting a finger. Born into a merchant guild, Varric never knew a dwarven homeland, and has never worked the Stone. He prefers a warm tavern fire, a mug that never empties, a willing audience, and an unwilling subject. He can spin a grand story of Ancestors and Paragons—or anything you like—but it’s not out of reverence. Truth is just another commodity. History is written by the victors, but it can also be written by Varric, who then decides the victors. If you want profit, look to his brother, Bartrand, a scoundrel with a true head for business. But if you want to be remembered, Varric is your man.

"I win because I cheat, Kitten. I thought that was obvious."

Isabela is the pirate scourge of two coastlines, four nations, and countless tavern floors. She's equally skilled with dagger and insult, and it's hard to know which cuts deeper. It's rare to see her in one place for long, but with her ship reduced to timbers, Isabela's had to content herself with whatever bounty Kirkwall has to offer. And that means no end of headaches for the rich and foolish, and no end of amusement for her. She's as desired as she is feared, which is to say, a lot and often. Fall on her blade, or at her feet—a win is a win, in her book. Shipwrecked, hounded, Isabela hasn't decided if she's cornered yet. She's having too much fun.

Color me unimpressed. I've played these characters in about a half-dozen other rpgs. Isebela might be interesting if they have some decent writing and a good voice actor.

Anyone want to bet she's a love interest? Sounds like she is going to take the place of Morrigan. Not exactly a bad thing, but the voice actress never be as good as Claudia Black. I've had a fancrush on her ever since she was in Farscape and Stargate.

EDIT: From the way they describe Varric they are giving themselves a ton of wiggle room to alter anything they like about the game story.
