龙腾世纪:审判 全人物背景故事介绍图文一览 中英对照

瓦里克(Varric Tethras)

　　瓦叔一部分是敢于冒险的游侠，一部分是流行的故事家，而第三部分则是麻烦。在地表长大的他对自己地下的同胞们没什么感情一一^他所有的合约都是和商人协会(Merchants Guild)的矮人签订的，尽管他对这些人的生活体系毫无兴趣。尽管如此，作为一个外来者，他还是找到了自己的位置，既和富裕的上层任务也和最危险的恶棍打交道。听他自己讲，这就是他所在意的一切，然而所有真正了解他的人都不这么认为。他们说，尽管他试着远离冲突，瓦叔已经一点点被卷入了影响整个世界的纷争中去了一一那些他不能简单用一个故事就让自己远离的纷争。

　　Varric Tethras is one part adventurous rogue, one part dashing storyteller, and three parts trouble. Born on the surface, Varric has little love for his underground brethren—all his contacts lie with the dwarves of the Merchants Guild, though he has little taste for their schemes. Still, he has found a place as an outsider, rubbing shoulders with both the wealthy elite as well as the worst of scoundrels. To hear him tell of it, thatsall he truly cares about, though anyone who truly knows him claims differently. They say that, try as he might, Varric has been drawn more and more into conflicts that shake the world—ones that he can'tget himself out of with a quick tale.

　　DA:瓦里克又回来了，这真是太好了，但这次他又给自己惹了什么麻烦？

　　Mary Kirby:还记得在龙腾世纪2里卡珊德拉审问瓦里克的情形吗?记得当时卡珊德拉正和蕾莉安娜还有一群穿着有眼睛标志衣服的人一起工作吗?

　　DA:当然。

　　MK:那就是刚有雏形的审判庭。崇高圣母Justinia V有一些疑问，而瓦里克就是有所有答案的那个人。

　　DA:那他还真是声名远扬啊，你觉得他有没有开始后悔自己有这么大名气了？

　　MK:额，在审判庭里，他依然要回答很多尖锐的问题。如果在一开始他和卡珊德拉见面的时候他没有认识到这一点，那么他现在一定已经明白，成为和故事的每一个部分都有联系的人并不总是一件好事。

　　DA:瓦里克在经受这么多事情以后——比如被他的哥哥背叛和被卡珊德拉审问这个可怜人的生活有没有点好转？

　　MK:在审判庭里，不论从哪个方面上讲，事情对瓦里克来说都变得更坏了。他背井离乡。身边没有一个朋友。而世界末日一样的事情正在他身边发生。

　　DA:瓦里克似乎就没有能休息的时候。

　　MK:记住，这是一个认为伤痛海岸（Wouned Coast)非常不舒服的人。只有讽刺和荒野的故事让他能度过这种折磨。

　　DA:瓦里克标志性的魅力大概是他最容易被注意到的特点了，但是如果我们更深入一点，他又会是怎样一个人呢？

　　MK:赛达斯之前把他看做一个故事家，但是瓦里克更是一个非常忠诚的人。他通过讲故事来改写自己经历过的事情，让这些经历显得不那么容易被忽视，让故事里的人变得更鼓舞人心，并从他关心的人所遭遇的麻烦中找出一些意义与价值。这样做并不总是管用。但是至少他让卡珊德拉变成了一个霍克粉。

　　DA:他似乎有一种谈话的艺术来让他远离不必要的纷争。

　　MK:瓦里克总是喜欢用谈话让自己摆脱麻烦。他并不喜欢像铁牛和卡珊德拉那样急于卷入战斗，但是他对碧安卡（V叔的武器，据说还是他死去的恋人的名字，怕新人不知道）非常有信心，他相信碧安卡总能让他毫发无损地解决任何战斗，并且他总是准备好了去炫耀。他喜欢有一个听众，而且他特别喜欢身边的每一个人都嫉妒碧安卡。

　　DA:既然这已经是你第二次作为瓦里克的作者了，你写下的故事里有没有你特别喜欢的地方？

　　MK:这一次我创作了我在整个龙腾世纪系列里最喜欢的场景。它也许涉及到了邪恶的恩惠这个游戏（Wicked Grace伊萨贝拉在Dao里和主角玩的纸牌游戏。

　　DA:瓦里克是龙腾世纪社区里面最受欢迎的角色之一。他是个很容易相处的人，但是他和他在审判庭的新伙伴相处的怎么样呢？

　　MK:瓦里克至少会试着去和审判庭里的大多数人处好关系。不管怎么样，除了卡珊德拉之外的人。

　　DA:哦？

　　MK:他还是对那个"捅书审判〃（book-stabbing interrogation指卡姐在DA2开场拿匕首捅书吓唬瓦里克的场景）有点不爽。

　　[DRAGON AGE]: Varric is back! That's the good news, but what kind of trouble has he gotten himself into this time?

　　[MARY KIRBY]: Remember in Dragon Age II how Varric was being interrogated by Cassandra, who was working with Leliana and a large number of folks wearing eyeball symbols?

　　[DA]: Of course.

　　[MK]: That was the fledgling Inquisition. Divine Justinia V had questions, and Varric was the guy with all the answers.

　　[DA]: Ah, so his reputation preceded him. Do you think he's starting to regret that?

　　[MK]: Well, in Inquisition, he's still answering a lot of pointed questions. If he hadn't already figured this out at the start of his meeting with Cassandra, he's definitely finding out now that sometimes it's not so good to be the guy connected to every part of the story.

　　[DA]: After all that Varric has endured—being betrayed by his brother and interrogated by Cassandra spring to mind—are things finally starting to look up for the poor guy?

　　[MK]: In Inquisition, things are definitely worse for Varric in just about every possible way. He's hundreds of miles from home. Not a friend in sight. And the things that are happening around him are apocalyptic.

　　[DA]: Varric just can't seem to catch a break.

　　[MK]: Remember, this was the guy who found the Wounded Coast too far out of his comfort zone. Snark and wild stories are all that's going to get him through this ordeal.

　　[DA]: Varric's trademark charm is probably his most visible quality, but what would we see if we dug a little deeper?

　　[MK]: Thedas knows him primarily as a storyteller, but Varric is first and foremost extremely loyal. He tells stories to rewrite events he's lived through and make them less senseless, the people in them more inspirational, and to drag some meaning out of the mess that surrounds people he cares about. It doesn't always work. But at least he's turned Cassandra into a Hawke fan. That's something.

　　[DA]: He seems to have a way with words that keeps him out of unnecessary altercations.

　　[MK]: Varric would always prefer to talk his way out of trouble. He isn't as enthusiastic about leaping into battle as Cassandra or the Iron Bull. But he's completely confident in Bianca and her ability to get him out of any fight in one piece, and he's always willing to show off. He loves an audience, and he especially loves making everyone around him envious of Bianca.

　　[DA]: Since this is your second go-around as Varric's writer, is there anything that you're particularly pleased to have written for him?

　　[MK]: I got to write my favorite scene of the entire Dragon Age series this time. It may involve a game of Wicked Grace. I won't spoil it.

　　[DA]: Varric is one of the more popular characters among the Dragon Age community. He's a pretty easy guy to get along with, but how does he fare with his new travel companions in Inquisition?

　　[MK]: Varric will at least try to get along with most people in the

　　Inquisition. People who are not Cassandra, anyway. [DA]: Oh?

　　[MK]: He's still kind of bitter about that whole "book-stabbing interrogation" incident.
