I like maradeux's idea of the piccolo. I think it fits.

EDIT for ToP: I finally finished my zev sketch:

I don't see him with a wind instrument (surely because of blond elf guy...with ocarina... XD)
more with something which he could use his fingers dexterity......rawwr.

@tech : nice pic! I really love the way you did his face, I think not a lot of fanarts really succeed to make him looks like in game ^^

@Verly - I've had ZDF installed for awhile, just haven't done that ending in a long time, so I didn't know ZDF fixed it. Great news. :)

@Cat - Oh wonderful! I'm telling you, that hug with her patting him on the back. Best animation in the whole game (yes game, not just mod), imho. I just love it.

@TW - O.M.G.! That is incredible! You are amazing! Do you post your stuff anywhere? If so, I want links!!!!! LOL

Ah thanks, everyone. :D

Oh side note: While I was finishing up that Zev sketch, husband drew an awesome pic of Zev/Alistair/Morrigan that had me LOL-ing for hours...in fact, I'm still LOL-ing. LMAO!

@Tig: Um...the only place I have anything is on deviantart, and I don't have much up at all because, well, up until last week, I haven't put pencil to paper in nigh 15 years. :S

@tech - Oh, hubby's sketch IS awesome! And that's about the extent of my drawing ability, which is why I stick to writing. ROFL

And thanks for giving me a link to your da stuff! (I'll get my blog entry updated soon.) You are amazingly talented on so many levels.

So a completely random question for you guys...what kind of musical instrument could you see Zevran playing?


Modern?  Saxophone.

Medievaloid? Other people's harps.  It takes little skill to learn how to do some open fifths and glissandos to accompany love poetry, keeps your eyes and mouth available for flirting, all the most swoon-worthy heroes of the Orlesian romances play them, and since you're borrowing, you don't have to do the fiddly work of tuning yourself.

I didn't answer the instrument question earlier because I have no idea what he'd play other than any number of my Wardens. [Insert obligatory groan here.]

On a different note [Groan #2 anyone?]... here's Zev trying not to pay any mind to Alistair's "attention".

Sorry I'm late with all of this. I'm not feeling 100% and I woke up not long ago (probably about 2:30 pm)

@ tech that really is an awesome picture. :)



I've been playing around with ArtRage2 again after a year. I'm in college right now so I can't take too much time out doing things that are not school related. (I'm getting my bachelors degree in business management)

Ha,...I'm at uni and I spent the past month playing Dragon Age when I should have been working on assignments and then had to play catch up at the last minute!

Yes! We had to do group presentations on Friday...I found myself stalling even at the last minute before our group was about to start when I was supposed to be loading up the Powerpoint...but I do REALLY hate standing in front of people and talking!



In hindsight I should probably have waited until after doing the assignments to insttall Dragon Age but I couldn't help myself...

^I'm going to second this as my serious answer.  I don't think he'd dedicate a lot of time to learning it, no more than your average young man who picks up guitar just to pick up chicks would.

Agreeing more or less with this because of the bolded bit -- I don't see Zev putting a lot of effort into learning an instrument, past what might be useful to catch someone's eye (ear?).  His dexterity might help him improvise, though...

Least disapproval for a breakup with Zevran?  Depends on characters and where you are in the game.

For no approval loss, you have to be a CousCous marrying Alistair, when he asks about the upcoming wedding, tell him "I'm sorry, Zevran."

For a slight approval gain (though you're losing about 20 approval), first time sex, give the highest approval dialog choices, then tell him afterwards it can't happen again.

Otherwise, if he's in love, you're dealing with losing I believe 26 points.  Since you're being forced to choose between him and Alistair, I guess talk directly to Zevran, and be nice.  Though...  if you choose Zevran (and dump Ali) and talk directly to Alistair, if you're decent, you gain 2 approval instead of that huge approval loss from Zev.

Mm... not so much, IME.  A series of notes, played nimbly and cleanly, still sounds wretched if they're the *wrong* notes.  A good ear, familiarity with the instrument (so when you know what the next tone should be, you know what string/fingering it is) and even a dab of understanding theory/structure (whether through experience or book-learning) helps with improv.  (Of course, if you've got all of that, *then* dexterity would be next on my 'do want' list.)

OTOH, Zevran's catlike "I meant to do that" aura would help immensely...  "No, no, not a 'wrong note,' mi amora.  A dissonance, to add tension... See, I play it again.  Can you not feel the music begging to come to completion?  One note higher, just one, and it will relax into finality... Should I play it, do you think, and conclude the piece, or continue to... draw things out, mm?"

This made me chuckle!  I can sooooooo hear Zevran doing that exact thing.  He's hopeless!  :wub:

I'm trying to activate that bug.  I still have the gloves to give to him.

?? bug?  Are you talking about having both Alistair and Zevran romance open?  this bugs out Zevran, but you still will be able to talk to Alistair.  Just have Alistair force the choice, choose Alistair, talk to Zevran, then restart the romance (if you can).  You'll still be able to talk to Alsitair, but every time you talk to Zevran, you'll get the beginning of the jealousy talk then it will cut off.

The approval gain of Alistair from dumping Alistair is working as intended, actually.  Most breakups with Zevran will net you a loss of -26 to -46 points (depending on where you are in the game).  If he's in love, you further need to talk him into staying because the last thing he wants to do is stay on with you (though this dialog doesn't happen when you're forced to make a choice, he does say that he would rather be anywhere else than to watch what he can't have).

Ah yes.  THAT's what I did.  I couldn't remember for the life of me.

I've had a rough day today and need some Dragon Age :-) I've not got Zev in my new character's party yet, as I'm only at Lothering I wonder if I can manage to get him by the time I go to bed tonight ;)

Do Redcliffe first and either kill Isolde (she deserves it) or Connor.
