EA haven't even emailed me to say if DAII has been dispatched so I guess that means a Friday arrival isn't going to happen. Getting quite rannoyed about hte later UK release date now - I missed the boat big time on Origins and I'm now behind all the people that can already play DAII Working on Awakening though, but missing Zevran badly, Alistair too since my character is his wife. I have now got attached to Anders and somehow Varel!

Could be worse. I have the game installed but it won't run.

11.5 hours and still whining counting.

Edit:

And my favourite Mina pic to top the page

 Hello! First time posting in this thread.  Thanks for directing me here mnomaha 
I made this in memory of the Zevran we knew in Origins. Hope you guys approve 

Aro approves (+20)! 

Edit:

Also, having seen some youtube footage of DA2 Zev now (with nonromanced save or a default game without a save, I think/hope), I'm not heartbroken over his new face, but I am a bit dissapointed.

I really really like his default DAO face and always have, which is why I draw it as close to the morph as I can. Having drawn it so much with the morph as a reference, I've learned all sorts of subtle little details about his face and the new one lacks them.

It's like a different artist's style, is all. It looks like him but it doesn't look like the same style as the original. Which was expected, but, bleh. It's still disappointing when it becomes a form of 'canon'.

I'll continue drawing him according to his DAO appearance, of course. It's the one that counts since it involves a hell of a lot more screentime for him...

Tannusen is extremely amused in my brain that DA2!Zevran appears to be a platinum blond. I'm a bit disgruntled that I still can't get a platinum blond hair color in DAO for Tannu that doesn't look radioactive.

Ah well.

Haha octopus Zevran strikes back! :3

[Aroihkin]

Octopus Zevran is still one of my favorites too.

...I will say that I can't stand what they did to Zev's tattoo in the sequel though. What the crap.

[Catspaw]

...want...octozev....NOW!!!!!!!!

Was going to snip for size but that pic ^ 
 Any luck yet? Getting your game to run? Cos that sucks..... 
Hoping my copies will arrive tomorrow.

I have to admit, the first thing I noticed was the Octupus...but it lasted for like, 2 split seconds :°D My eyes drifted and rested elsewhere almost instantly.

@Aro. Yes, as I said considering the new model of elves, Zev is still a beauty. As it should be! xD
That said, Zevran in my head will always have the other look.
Moreover, I have to add they always choose wonderful voices for male elves LI. Zev had a wonderful voice and characterization, and Fenris...I didn't like Fenris much at the start, but after listening to enough of his dialogues...the hell...his voice.

@Shadow. That demotivational is SO.VERY.TRUE.

I've activated my code now, and I am in the process of downloading...while Amazon at 3 a.m (!!), sent me an e-mail informing the payment wasn't processed. Luckly I was awake...and retried the card. Now it says dispatching soon...but what really makes me angry...at 3 a.m., whatever happened, they post-poned to 11 the dispatching. Like, great. At 3 a.m of 10, they already decided they couldn't make it in time and had to change the dispatching date -.-

@Dunizel, ditto on the octopus Your brain kind of goes ''Wha..........?'', then goes ''Uuuungh, Zev''

Amazon are quite infuriating at times with dispatch estimates but are pretty fast when they get their finger out, I have the collector's guide coming from them and another copy from Play (long story, won't bore you..) And Play dispatched yesterday, Amazon, still nothing, but what are the chances the one from Amazon arrives first? Lol.
Back on topic I feel like I am appreciating DA:O all over again with my Zev romances *sigh* He really is dreamy..........

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

Yes, I got the game working, but I did so by using a crack. Bioware/EA still haven't released an official fix, and are diligently moderating the tech forum to delete all references to said crack.

I'm mildly interested to know how far through the game I can get before they offer a work-around to the problem...

[Tellervo]

One should always wear his octopus correctly (you can blame Tarantella for that one).  Zevran is demonstrating correct octopus wearing technique in this picture.

Don't forget we have a prompt goin' on!




Prompt: Flat-ears

"Here, we're among family. We look out for each other. Here, we do what we can to remember the old ways. The flat-ears who have gone out there, they're stuck. They'll never be human, and they've gone and thrown away
being elven, too. So where does that leave them? Nowhere."

"Elves plant these trees to remind themselves of who they once were. And then they pee on it. Charming symbolism, really."

Looking for reflections on elven identity and degrees thereof, how or if it matters, what it means or doesn't mean if it's lost, set aside, or consciously destroyed.

Time limit: Three hours
Deadline: 9am EST, 3/14/11
Prize: Prose or poetry in a variety of styles; see links in sig.

Idea farm:
Aside from the usual interactions with a Warden of your choice, what about some of the other elves of DAO, especially *not* the ones we see from the Alienage or the Dalish camp?  Berwick in Redcliffe, Devera (Caladrius's hench-archer), Erlina, Sketch (Leliana's Song), Shaevra (from the Warden trap at the Pearl), or of course, Rinna?

Or explore with a human or dwarven foil. 

Although I think I may want to tackle this from some other angles, too, here's a non-entry -

Fight (with nsfw cussing)

I just heard "Zevran" voicing a Doritos advert! It sounded VERY like him anyway. :-)

Mmmmmmmm Doritos AND Zevran? Snacktime  Cool Original  or Chili Heatwave  ? OK, I'll stop now 

[Mariefoxprice83]

Can't remember, but I will be looking out for that one again...damn I want Doritos now...

Zevran and Doritos.

Can I die now?

[Aroihkin]

Oh god the Dalish what did they do to you--

Yes, even official!fanart!Zevran is just stunningly amazing in the context of the Dalish clan. My god, man. They look like those blue dudes from the movie Avatar.

...I still look forward to fixing his morph though. Please let there be a mouth width value in the DA2 morphs. Everyone has pinched mouths. The Tannu I made for sh*ts and giggles makes me facepalm since it's too narrow even for a regular person, and T has a wider mouth on top of that, so watching this pinched thing talking really makes me argh.

And there has to be a way to re-draw Zevran's tattoo. Has to be. Sh*t bothers me.

I'd been thinking the new elves in particular suffer from Big Eyes Small Mouth Syndrome, which is a wretched affliction that usually only hits far east Asian characters... its is sadly a terminal disease that may also explain the unusual shape of the face in general.

[mnomaha]

Could they have gotten this disease from lack of footwear?

Speaking of changes, a real conversation with my husband:

Me: I mean,  it's not like she had a lot of lines in Origins, but...

Him: Wait, what? Merrill was in Origins?

Me: Yeah, in the Dalish Elf Origin.  You know when you go back to look for Tamlen, and there's a mage who goes with you...

Him: Her?  The hypercompetent mage?  That was Merrill?

I had also gotten a vibe, from her admittedly brief appearance, of someone very self-confident and a bit bossy.  I'm still trying to decide if the writers just decided to retcon her, or if offscreen events precipitated this personality shift.  (I only just made 7th level, so I'm hoping I'll find out before the game is done...)

[Jenova65]

Merrill did come across as very self assured, maybe it is entirely subjective, but that sure is how I saw her.....

Indeed, it doesn't seem a healty land to go around barefooted.

But on a side note, I noticed that city elves use shoes. So yeah, they fear infections.

Totally related side note. Zevran wears his leather boots. I was worried, this shoes thing bugged me.

There's a good chance going barefoot increases their exposure to the insidious parasite that causes this terrible disease.

I've only seen the elf from the first part, the smuggler chick. She wasn't wearing any, so was getting sad.

But Zev in his leather boots? I may learn to be happy again. Thanks for that!
