I'm weary about him coming back but he hasn't worn out his welcome for me, yet, where's that option?

If he's a companion again, then I would say he's worn out his welcome for me. I'm probably ok with him as some kind of advisor or contact.

I love Varric and would be happy for him to play a role in the game, but I don't want him to be a companion for a third time. When it comes to archers who appeared in previous games, I'd rather have Harding in the party.

None of the choices really apply; but I do hate the red lyrium deposits, so...
Anyway - I'd be fine with him as a companion (but better if he's an advisor (or better still, as a quest-giver)). I'd also be fine with him having some kind of narration function as the story progresses, similar to Dandelion in TW3 (who also, of course, appeared in the game).
I know he has 'seen some shit' and the whole thing with Bartrand is likely to have taken a toll on his general demeanour, but DA2 Varric coming back wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen.
Having said all of that, given the choice - I'd prefer an entirely new cast of active allies. "We'll find people he doesn't know" etc etc.

I felt meh towards him even in DA2, not liking him but not fully disliking him. Then in DAI when I learned he lied about Hawke and other parts of his character I just disliked him. Always side with Cassandra in their fight. I know he’s going to be in DAD, but I really hope he isn’t a companion yet again or someone of equal worth like an advisor. Hope he’s just a quest giver at the beginning that sets us on our way and that’s the end of his involvement.

I could see him having a Morrigan style cameo in the game. An NPC who gives you important information/quests and could appear along side you in a quest or two. But I genuinely don't believe they'd make him a companion again. He's not a returning character I'd choose to be confirmed at this stage (Dorian, Fenris, Josephine, anyothernorthernThedasnative) but I'd be happy enough to see him in game again. Maybe we have a tough, muscled lady companion who will be inexplicably annoyed when they meet him? That being said, I voted for Lyrium deposits because I hate having a cluttered map

For me it was DAI and I was happy he was coming back for it before playing the game, but during the game (the first time I played with Cass, Varric and Solas for like 90% of the game), I just grew tired of his shit.
It even tainted him for me in DA2 when I replay the game.

Two huge games plus DLCs in a row as main rogue companion is more than enough. Many of the interessing NPCs won´t even get the opportunity to become a companion. Looking at you Cullen, Jowan, Ketojan, Feynriel et cetera. And returning as companion is something only 4 / 5 NPCs had achieved (Oghren, Dog, Anders + Justice and Varric)
My answer is Varric should have retired after Trespasser and only should get a small cameo because there are a ton of other characters who didn´t have the spotlight as Varric. DAD should feature more of Shale, Sten, Fenris yes even Tallis than Varric.
Also i am still a Varric fan and i don´t want that Bioware will kill him off because come one what else can they possibly do with him?

It was the most recent trailer. up until this week, I thought he was just going to be a contact, or a limited advisor if we were doing something in the free marches specifically. The moment they pretty much made it crystal clear he was going to be more, I was very grumpy. I like the Viscount being Varric, I like it a lot. Because regardless of where Hawke is at, he not only survived but was promoted, and, for the most part, is happy. But they just won't leave him the fuck alone.

Loved him in DA2, thought I’d like him in DAI. Didn’t hate him, but also didn’t like him as much as the first time around. I might like him more as an advisor, but definitely do not want him as a companion.

Varric is like Liara of ME, characters I get force-fed down my throat and have to like because they do appear no matter what.
That fact alone already makes me dislike them. When I heard that Varric appears yet AGAIN in DA Breadwolf was the moment I really started to dislike him.

Isn't he supposed to be Kirkwall's Viscount now? That should keep him busy enough to prevent him from going gallivanting abroad. Although I'm fine with him being an informal chronicler of his Age - but nothing more.

Although I'm fine with him being an informal chronicler of his Age - but nothing more. There is a tie in lead up comic where Varric and Scout Harding are going to be doing something together. That's supposedly going to explain Varric being more involved in Dreadwolf.

I like Varric, but I don't want him as a companion and I don't want him as an advisor in the next game. The whole premise set up by the end of Trespasser is that we need people Solas don't know, so having Varric be around in the Tevinter Imperium doesn't make sense. Him visiting for a short time, like maybe a quest or two, because he has friends there? Yes, makes sense. Nothing out of the ordinary - he's done so before. Him sticking around long enough to count as an advisor? No.
I don't want Dorian as a companion either, but him making a return as an advisor makes sense because he actually lives in the Tevinter Imperium.

Absolution Spoilers: I am such a fool i am complaining all over Varric but to my defense i have never imagined that they bring Meredith back. It´s a very stupid twist but hear me out maybe the Varric trailers were misleading and he is own fight more against Meredith than Solas. Jeez its even dumber to have Varric as companion or major character right now with the Stand of Season 1? of Absolution because if he is Vicounte or not he should fix Kirkwall first aka putting Meredith finally than dealing with Solas because on Varric agenda is always Kirkwall first.
