I mean the kisses, allways the kisses. *snigger*
In ZDF, ZevranKisses, Vanilla kisses, ZDF/ZevranKiss alternatives, ZevranRomance. I dont know all of them and am not sure which are the same, which older versions or only a little bit corrected.

Oh, and i love the banter if kissing in puclic. Especially Alistair is so bemusing annoyed.

Does anyone knows something about the ZevranWedding mod and the planned CityElf Marriage? With my Dalish Mage the Wedding didnt want to show up, i was very unhappy.

@Klidi:
Morphing, is it complicated? best with the toolset, or? i have not tried yet, only using some of the ready-to-use facemorphs on dragonnexus.

No, it's not complicated. IIf I learned how to do it, anyone can. :) I can't do anything else in toolset, but I made morphs for most of major characters already - and I'm actually quite proud of some. :)
You will need toolset and some cosmetic mods - extra textures for eyes, skins, hair and tattoo colour.

Re: armor: I once installed one of those skimpy heavy armor mods, for my arcane warrior mage, because I imagined that she was the sort who viewed suddenly having the strength to wear armor as something fun first and practical second ("but if it doesn't make my butt look nice, what's the point?"), but I uninstalled the mod when I realized that it made all heavy armor on females be displayed in that style. I felt bad for the female guards and such, who (unlike my mage) did not have magic to protect their rather exposed rears.

Also, thanks for reminding me of the BSC mod. =D I hadn't reinstalled that one on this computer after my old computer died!

Re: language: I admire ye who write in something other than your first language. I can't imagine how tough that'd be/how much longer it'd take! (Though I have some idea: my boyfriend is dyslexic and so reading/editing his papers sometimes feels like translating from another language. XD)

Oh, and I was just playing at Orzammar a couple days ago and went to the bridge to compare the HF height to Zev's. She appears to be at least a few inches taller. (Note: In the first two she appears to be forward of him and then behind him, but they're in the same location in the two screenshots, so I think that either can be safely used for comparison.)
Back
Front
Front, far away

(And for the record, the human female build is so not right for that Warden. There's like some kind of crazy cognitive dissonance when I try to think that that character is the same one as the one in my head/that I've drawn a kajillion times. XD)

@Zaxarus: Ooh! I enjoyed it. I left a comment on the story page. ^^

 Prompt:  A DALISH ADVENTURE.

Tell us/show us about the time Zevran snuck away from the Crows to join a Dalish Clan - it can be the - sneaking away or the time there or when he returned or start to finish - you choose :)



The votes are in  * Tallies up the scorecard *

*drum roll*

.....And the winner of this week's -  'no prize decided as of yet - but might be in the near future... if your lucky'  is .....

Sushifer with his wonderful tale of Zevran's Dalish Adventure called  Homecoming

I really enjoy Zevran backstories - especially if they touch my heart and this did on many levels. I also believe that when a writer can move/touch the reader he/she has done their job.

So well done and congrats Posted Image  WOOT !

Next part written.
http://social.biowar...31/blog/209825/

Please have in mind it's Nemains diary, not Zevrans. By now he is only a sidekick, Alistair standing in his way. His part will grow over the story, but now i want more to describe Nemain, her feelings and why Alistair isn't the right guy. :) Don't get disappointed and have patience, please.

Welcome to the thread, Zaxarus! I hope you'll stick around :) *cough*and enter some prompts*cough* :innocent: As someone who is pitifully mono-languaged, I have enormous respect for anyone writing in something other than their native tongue. It's hard enough to write in your own language, sometimes!

@bitenomnom She definitely looks quite a bit taller, as I thought. And urgh, I know- as someone who loves to push and exaggerate characters and generally play around with different body types to really differentiate them, the fact that everyone has exactly the same body type in DA ,with slight proportional variations between races, really irks me!

Which is why I started drawing a character line-up so I could flesh out my headcanon physiques for the party. I mean, why would a heavy-armour, heavy-weapons using templar have the same build as an assassin, or a bard the same as a mage? I was also determined to do it because people tend to draw characters with the kind of super buff, super defined muscles that you only really get from working out and dieting specifically to build and define muscle, not training to be a warrior or simply being athletic. It looks especially odd, to me at least, on Zevran, who is a) and assassin and B) an elf, so I wouldn't imagine would build those kind of muscles unless he was hitting the gym every other day, and even then he's never going to look like, I dunno, Alistair. Anyway, that's just my pet peeve. I'm going to stop ranting now before I get all angry. And I really should finish the drawing, come to think of it!

Thanks, Tryynity! It was a rather fun prompt- on a subject I'm quite fond of, so it was enjoyable to write.

Sooo.. I'm setting the next prompt, right? Give me a bit to think of something :D

@Sushifer: Yeah...I mean, I know that they have to do that to make sure the armor fits all the models, cutscenes work, etc., but. (And, I sent you a sort of rambling reply to some of that second part in response to the note you sent me.) I agree, though...even setting different body types aside for that reason (making sure armor, cutscenes, etc. work) you'd expect people to have different degrees of musculature and so on...but I won't ramble about it since you pretty much already said everything. XD

And congrats, by the way! Looking forward to see what you come up with. =D Hopefully I'll have time to enter this week...since technically I've still yet to do an actual entry for one of these! (Why didn't I count that diorama? I don't know...)

About the prompts: i'll try it. If i have an idea to the weekly theme. I read the leathery ones and i think there i would have been lost with an own story.

Part 3 of the diary. More Zevran now. You don't have to be of the same opinion to understand how some other one feels, i thought.
social.bioware.com/3339831/blog/209847/
It's about the decision with Caridin and the anvil.

About english: it is a change to write in another language. i can only hope it is understandable for other. Often i mix up vocables and you'll certainly see more than one not so very english figure of speech. :) I hope it will get better in time.

mmm, i think i should stop announcing every blog part as if it was pulitzer price material. :innocent:

I just heard a banter between Leliana and Zevran. Zevran asked her about her vision. Clearly he wanted to make fun of her. But one sentence was something like If you really believe in your vision, you have to stand by it, no matter what happens.
I really like these two sides of him. Joke mixed with philosphy, sometimes unpleasant to hear but often so true.

Nice prompt

- I'll try if I can get my mind outta the gutter long enough - I can only think of one thing right now... and given all the MA rated FanFic Ive been reading (purely for research purposes of course *coughs*) its making it decidedly difficult - have to go watch some Disney for abit and cleanse my mind...

....then I'll be on it ....

ahh - the prompt .

*wanders off to watch The Lion King*  that should do it!

p.s nice pic BTW of a very bloody and buff Zev :o

*sigh* I love this prompt, but as I'm only finishing the previous prompt now, and I have another 5 to finish, I won't be able to write anything new.

But I already wrote the story about the Zevran and Airam's first time together. So here is my non-entry.

You Are Stuck With Me

It's slash, but not explicit (Air would probably rather die than say words as f*ck), but it implies past abuses.

@Tryynity
Are you sure? Not a prof writer of this stuff? I'm impressed and hope there will be a sequel. :wub:
btw. i had to google what you mean with M+. OFL-classification.


@All
A little question about the Zevran romance i have. I'm nearing the Taliesin event. My Zev romance is still in the beginning phase (around 60 and interested, no kiss or else). I know the normal way (i use ZDF and zevring) with the 2 ring offerings. But is it possible to have the same good end with Zevran switching sides at the taliesin encounter? I'm thinking about reducing his romance to around 20 with feastday pranks to see how it works.

Thank you Zax - and Im definately not a professional - but I am extremely flattered you would say that. I struggle greatly as a writer and that is using my own language... again many kudos to those who can write so effectively in another.

There will hopefully be many sequels but Im not sure if that scene will be included - if it is it will be a little different I think - not really sure. If you see my signature there is my Fan Fiction site Ive only just set up for this - Im not very far into the story yet though.

RE: Taliesen/Zevran - save before event so you can go back and re-do if it is not satisfactory for you... I have always had him maxed out ADORE 100+ except my first run thru when I ignored him totally and he said "CYaa"

Im not sure what you mean by switching sides - I think if he leaves he is gone and no going back from that - best to save and re-load if it goes badly that is my all round advice for everyone.

I wish I could do that in real life :D

You know? I've thought this so often. Not only in romance but also in normal conversations there are times i won't to re-do the whole scene and it's not possible. *sigh*

Naturally i know your side and keep reading. :innocent:

With Zevran i mean:
Start the taliesin scene with score around 20, so he switches to Taliesin. As far as i know there is the possibility to have a talk afterwards. Or is this only if he stays neutral in the fight? Mmm, perhaps i try it but make my "earnest" playthru better with the standard. He's now at 79 and i have tons of gifts in the backpack, readying myself to go to Arl Eamon and start the landsmeet.

No. If Zevran betrays you and joins Taliesen, he will become an enemy and you will have to kill him.

If you want to try it, I recommend to save the file before and to use console comand 'zz_addapproval 7 -x' where x is the number of approval points you want to decrease, and then 'zz_addapproval 7 x' to give them back.

Feastday gifts change something, and no matter what approval you will have, Zev will always be on 'warm' after that. That's why I really hate that DLC. >:(
