There WAS supposed to be a Sir-Pounce-Alot for Anders. But they didn’t want the cat as an inventory item (they wanted the cat to walk around the clinic) they couldn’t want to create a whole new model. They did think about a staff with a cat’s skull on it, but David was like, “OMGAH NO! Thats so cruel!!”
Orsino was originally not really supposed to be a boss battle if you sided with the mages, though there would be a point where you learned that he was bffs with Quentin. He kind of implied that you could have then chosen to fight him, but basically that the Orsino battle was not originally there. The only reason why Orsino turns is for gameplay reasons. (They wanted another boss fight.)
Did you think Sebastian and Nathaniel were twins? You’re kind of right: Sebastian’s DLC was technically originally supposed to be about Nathaniel. Why didn’t they do it? They didn’t want to do much more handwaving in case you killed him off. He also admits that Anders’ “LOL I DIDN’T REALLY DIE” if he died in your Awakening playthrough was totally handwaving, but they liked the idea of using Anders too much.
Qunari were always supposed to have horns. It was in their original character design and it was cut for graphics reasons. So while the Qunari horn situation was retconned for 2, it was retconned into being what they wanted it to be. Also, EXPECT MORE QUNARI.
The reason NO ONE (including hawke) reacts to you being a blood mage if you choose to be, is because the programmers decide on the specialization trees, AFTER all the writing and dialogue is done. So while the writers want to create reactions, they can’t if they don’t know if Blood Magic is an option. It would have been a huge ordeal to go back and add a bunch of references. They could have written lines “just in case,” but can you imagine how time-consuming it would be to write alternate lines everywhere “just incase?”
ABOUT THE LACK OF A VARRIC ROMANCE. Actually… they almost did slip something in there. They mentioned having the interrogation end with Varric meeting back up with Hawke and explaining that he’d told them everything. ‘Everything?’ ‘Don’t worry. I skipped the part about us…’
