But he's a million times better than the other "pure gay" character, Sera, who was just terrible in every single way.
Thank goodness. I thought I was going crazy or something given how many people seem to like her. I couldn't stand her for even a second. She was just grating beyond any measure I could come up with.
This. Bioware have been having real problems with party member comedy IMO; Oghren, Shale, and occasionally Morrigan from DA:O had some great party banter, but outside of Cassandra's personal quest(which is mainly funny because of her rather than Varrick, who remains an insufferable twat that thinks he's far wittier than he actually is), most of what I think is intended as humour in DA:I has fallen flat for me. Sera's insufferable "lulz I r quirky *raspberry*" routine being so bad it transcends "unfunny" to become screen-punchingly cringe-inducing.
It's a sad day when you have to include Varrick in your party because he's the
less annoying and wankerish of the available ranged-Rogue party members.
Bioware is great at dry humor. Shale, Sten, Javik, etc.
Its the "wacky" characters who are not only bad, but painfully so.
I find the dry humor of Shale, Stern, Morrigan, and Javik to be jerks and/or boring snarks and I found their humor was only funny once then it's just tiresome jerk snark. Ogrhen was only funny in
DA:O-Awawking because his great banter with the rest of the party members.
IMHO Sarcastic Hawke, Sarcastic Shepard, Garrus, Tali, Alistar, Traynor, Liara, Leliana, Varric, Isabela, Sera, Iron Bull, and Dorian are much funnier than any of the dry jerky. bitchy, snarky, dull characters like Morrigan, Shale, Javik, Wrex, Grunt, Stern, and
DA:O Orghen.
