Dragon Age II (2011 Video Game)

Brian Bloom: Varric Tethras

Quotes 

• [His brother has left them in the deep roads to die] 

  Varric Tethras : I swear I will find that son of a bitch... sorry, Mother... and I will KILL him!

• Cassandra Penthagast : No! This can't be right! The Champion was an apostate who came to Kirkwall to spread subversion against the Chantry. But you claim this wasn't the case. The Champion just happened to have dealings with the Qunari, joined forces with a known raider, a blood mage, a rebel Warden... and for what? Coin?"

  Varric Tethras : Maybe it's not as simple as you imagined, Seeker.

  Cassandra Penthagast : SIMPLE? Do I need to remind you what your friends did? Do I need to tell you how many lives have been lost, how many more will be lost? You cannot sit there and tell me he is INNOCENT!

  Varric Tethras : I don't know if "innocent" is the right word, exactly.

  Cassandra Penthagast : He must have known! Somehow the Champion KNEW what was down there. That's why he wanted to join your expedition.

  Varric Tethras : No. None of us knew. If we had, this would've all turned out very differently.

• Varric Tethras : Listen, Hawke... I'm so sorry about what happened... you know, back there. That whole time we were in the Fade, nothing felt real. Which... makes sense, considering. Anyway, I want you to know: I would never choose a demon over you while conscious and sober.

  Hawke - Male : So less than half the time, you're on my side then? Thanks.

  Varric Tethras : Hey! It's at least half! More like two-thirds.

• Cassandra Penthagast : Do you have any idea what's at stake here?

  Varric Tethras : Let me guess. Your precious Chantry's fallen to pieces and put the entire world on the brink of war. And you need the one person who could help you put it back together.

• Anders : Boiling in oil.

  Varric Tethras : Too prosaic. Trapped in a cave with hungry bears, right at the spring thaw.

  Anders : That lets him off too easy. Dipped in molten gold and left as a statue in the Viscount's Keep.

  Varric Tethras : Ooh! That's poetic!

  Hawke - Male : What are you two talking about?

  Varric Tethras : What to do to Bartrand when I find him.

  Anders : Any suggestions?
