I downloaded it, it's called FrecklesPlus: http://www.dragonage...s/file.php?id=8

It replaces a bunch of tattoos, but since I only wanted the freckles and not the extras, I just kept it to replace a set of the human tattoos I didn't really like and deleted the rest.


You know you can just rename the tattoo file than use it in the Toolset?  That way you don't have to replace anything.

I need to thank Addai for leading me to the perfect armor for Anders. Also, if Alistair has the Imperious Eyebrow of Doom, I think Anders has the Flirtatious Eyebrow of Doom:

I'm sorry guys, IDK what I am doing wrong, but I can not get into the Zev relationship. I tried with my human mage, and my city elf. I wound up dumping him. I can't even tell you why.


It's not for everyone.  He's fighting so hard to keep it casual, but he does slip quite often as well.  But his past is ugly, and he's bound and determined to let the warden know exactly what he or she is getting into with him.  He also doesn't have anything to offer the warden, and is very aware of that (yes, VO notes confirm all this -- not just crazy fangirl raving here).

There's nothing wrong with not liking the romance.  If you want to see how it ends, after he falls in love, I can send you a save.  The first time I did his romance, it was after my city elf was dumped at the landsmeet, so I missed a lot of the building and just got the to the good parts.  And his declaration of love IS beautiful, though he never says the words.  

So it's sweet as well as it's gritty.  He always puts the warden first; the warden's happiness is far more important than his own.  When he's forcing a choice, he does not expect to be chosen at all, and he wants the warden to feel good about dumping him.  He's so relieved if you do pick him, it's almost sad.

He's falling in love, and just does not know how to handle any of it.  In many ways, he's far more insecure than Alistair.

OR it's just casual sex, and he falls in love anyway.  Dialogs support both, really.  It's why there's so many debates about that in the ZevThread.  But so much looks like he's falling in love from the start, and just fighting it the entire way.

Edit: Rereading this, I think it's really really obviously it's WAY past my bedtime!

Yup, I just hate the human tattoos and never, ever use them so it's not really affecting anything for me.

If Teagan were romanceable would you choose him over Alistair?

LOL You have given this a TON of thought.  I just adore him as a best friend in game but its hard to get around that Assassin thing.  He says he enjoys killing and you know if thats what his defense mechanism is (for all the sh*t inflicted on him as a kid) I can't blame him but I also don't quite trust him either.  I keep him in the friend zone and he seems happy to stay there too.

Yes. But i would have to romance Ali first so at least he would lose his virginity to someone who cared about him and not to the swamp witch. 
I always kind of RPed a backstory with my PC's as Teagan being the one my parents would consider suitable to marry (Nate was exiled to teh Free Marches, Thomas is too young/a drunk, Vaughan is...well hell Vaughan doesn't need explanation).  The others are all too old or lacking in the status to consider (Teagan being the next Arl of Redcliffe if Eamon abdicates).

I like Zevran's romance, too. I find it very different from Alistair's (who I'm obviously partial to!) but still very good in its own right.  I even saved a little video clip of when Zev offers the earring for the 2nd time, because it was too sweet to lose!

It's here cmes, if you want to see the culmination of the romance. It has my modded Zev, though.

Yeah, I agree with this. He's one of my favs as a friend but I can't quite see him as an LI for my characters.

I usually romance him on a character who realizes she also enjoys killing, so she understands that part of him. Not that she's evil, or wants to go kill people :?  But she's come to realize she really enjoys the high she gets during a fight and that surge of joy/energy when she's killed all the enemies around her. I play a lot of rogues, though.

My HNF enjoys killing, too.  No, not the deluded peasants or guards.  That's sad and painful.  But other people?  Oh my yes, does she ever enjoy that.

I agree with Sarah, check out ejoslin's faq page!

Her faq helped me out a whole lot when I decided I wanted to do the romance 'right'. Before that I totally missed the 2nd earring proposal! 

edit: typos!

I really like Zev's romance:

I don't have a problem with the assassin part about Zev. His comment that some people deserve killing gets my characters to look inward and really think if they agree. (my HNs can agree because of Howe, DEs have an option of killing those humans in the origin just because they are there, the CEs....I don't even need to explain, the DCs are thugs, and the DNs have some issues with his/her younger brother.) and since Leli is also an assassin (oh I know a bard, but she did the same things)



I like Alistair's romance too, but only if it's a human noble or maybe someone that doesn't make him king. (I can't have my strong heros just being a piece on the side after saving the world)

Seriously, like he's not gonna be protective when she's unconcious and hurt.
