    Alright, let's post some party configurations to save us from the Taliban.

    Mage Hawke:
    Varric - Rogue support, archery, and chest hair buffs.
    Aveline - Tank
    Isabelle - DPS, Double D, Support Bra

    Rogue Hawke:
    Merril - Mage Support, Jailbait
    Varric - Archery, chest hair debuffs
    Fenris - Tank, fangirl distractor and eliminator.

    Looks like I'll be in group 2. But I'm still deciding on 2h Warrior or Rogue. Decisions, decisions...

    The list of skills is aiding the process, though.

    Based on a quick glance at the Bioware forums, it seems that Varric fans have already taken this to Tali levels of weird.

    It's like... I'm curious? But at the same time I really, really don't want to know.

    Read the first post.

    http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/6053777

    Or just skim the first few images. Then realize all those links are to more images.

    Oh my God. There are so many links. Since when is there a demand for short, hairy men with a sarcastic streak? WHY AM I NOT CAPITALIZING ON THIS!? I need to start walking around on my knees and wearing a shirt with the top 6 buttons left undone.

    Mage Hawke - primal/arcane/force
    Anders - support
    Merrill - debuffs
    Aveline/Carver/Fenris.

    I'll throw in Varric if there's a need for lockpicking and all that jazz. Which there probably will be. But if this game focuses heavily on apostates, my Chantry-fucking Force will be in full swing.

    Right.

    I think this is entering serious Bob Howard, Howard Lovecraft territory.

    Which means the proper procedure is either going gibbering mad or killing something with an axe.

    And I'm split on who to go with as my mage the first go around. Merill or anders.

    I'm using Mage Hawke, Varric, Marrill and a negotiable fourth slot. Anders will probably be in there a lot, but I usually switch up my characters.

    Hawke: Elemental/Primal/Spirit Healer
    Marrill: Support and nifty spells
    Varric: Amazing Support/DPS

    I'll probably be going Hawke(2-hand), Aveline(tank), Bethany, and Varric.

    I was going to use Isabela in lue of Varric at first, but more AoE is always cool.

    I don't know what spec classes I'll use for my warrior.

    They got rid of Champion which was the best one(but they moved its abilities to other classes so whatever), and I can't say I cared for Reaver but who knows it might be better.

    I may just end up going 2-hand/vanguard/berserker with some point in warmonger and battlemaster.

    I'm on the fence regarding the nature of that strip, for one reason and one reason only.

    It's the internet and people on the internet are into weird shit.

    Otherwise, the joke is obvious to the normal person. It's that knowledge, in the dark pits of the mind, that someone out there would really buy a Varric body pillow.

    So? Sex can't be funny now? Sex is serious?

    If you make jokes about sex you are serious person x? I dunno I see that comic as a parody of the whole thing. It's too ridiculous and bordering on self aware.

    Maybe I'm deluding myself. I prefer my deluded world view.

    So in a frantic attempt to get onto any other topic at all oh god please, looking at the talent list and keep marveling at how powerful archers are.
    Storm of Arrows
    Requires: Level 9
    Requiers: Hail of Arrows
    Points required in Archery: 5
    Hail of Arrows now sweeps across a greater area of the battlefield and slows most enemies to a crawl.
    Enemy atack speed: -50%
    Enemy movement speed: -50%
    Size: 15m
    Type: Upgrade

    Because dammit, Hail of Arrows just wasn't good enough on its own.
