Prompt: Guilty Pleasures

What is Zev's guilty pleasure? What if the Warden finds out? Or vice versa. :D


I went with the "visa versa."

Baubles
Time: 90 min
Prompts: 1

That Warden actually hoarded all the gold jewelry on her PT, as well as every sapphire the party ran across (including the one that's a gift for Shale and that you have to *buy*).  It was just a random thing that felt right to do, a little bit of vanity for an otherwise no-nonsense Warden.

This would make for some tempting fluff if I played my cards right... but I don't know what would be an appropriate 'guilty pleasure' for either Zevran or any of my Wardens. :/

these might help?

http://nicehobbies.o...ny-hobbies-list
long list of hobbies. these aren't particularly funny or weird, in general. lots of modern ones. but some gems hidden in there.

http://www.oddee.com/item_97171.aspx
mostly modern ones, but zevran might like the first, and/or the last.

now these are SERIOUSLY weird.

Hello fellow Zevran lovers.

I have a question. Is there an idiots guide to ZRS? I *think* I removed the mod I was using, but I can't quite be sure, so was wondering if there's some form of guide to know if it's working.

If Zev is at Care, choose 'I want to discuss something personal'. If there is an option 'Lick his ear', it works.

It conflicts with Dialogue Tweaks and Ser Gilmore mods, and you have to remove all zevran dlg files from your override. If you have Zevran earirng, check that it's the manual version. If you have Alistair's romance scenes, check that you have the patch.

OMG "lick his ear"? oh, I am definitely trying that tonight.

Thanks for the help. :)

edit: just as an afterthought...I gave him the Antivan brandy and his approval shot up like...+44 IIRC. Is this going to matter that his is at 100? Because now I really want to lick his ear. :wub:

Zevran Romance Scenes, I think?

Oh, and I come bearing fanart! ^_^

(click to go to Keliane's Dev Art page)

Zev's arms have been tied behind his back, which is why it may look a little odd.

To use the artist's words: "Yeyaaaah....Zev's not going to be smiling so much in a minute." ;)

i've heard of "the litmus" test, but the 'lick his ear' test?? ::snicker:: only on the zevran fan thread.

i dont have any entry for this week's prompt. i feel sad. just having a lot of other things to work on. and i am writing zevran! he's appearing in the B&Z story before the ambush. that part got pushed back to june, though. still in redcliffe, for now.

It's been so long since I installed some of these...

I'm assuming ZevRingPlus_DT is not the correct version?

i also wanted to mention... since you have the gift/prank pack (that is, i would think one would have both), you can use the cakes/onions to adjust everyone's approval rating to where you want it.

so if you didn't mean for zevran to go so fast, you can give him some onions to cool his ardor. but he should definitely have the brandy as soon as possible. i have him use it all the time, it is like a mega dex boost.

you can also use his chastity belt. which in my opinion he needs more of (shaddap zevran in the background). the problem is, unlocking the chastity belt doesn't restore his happiness-ness, so feed him lots of cake after, or he's going to run away screaming after about 2 uses of that thing. :X


OH!  you know what else i was wondering...  does zevran try to leave if he reaches -100, or does he only leave on certain plot points?  with allie, i'm trying to do the sequence where he gets po'd but is talked into staying, and then gets really mad and leaves.  but i didnt want to do that at the dalish and crow encounters.

Hellooooo guys! Sorry for being late (as always). Yesterday I spent half day in the torture chamber... I mean, at the dentist. I spent the rest of the days whining, and not even Zev could help. ^^

First of all - the winner of the challenge is - Corker! YAY! :D

@ SOLD - wow, it's wonderful! :D

@ mnomaha - Dialogue Tweaks conflicts with ZRS. If I remember correctly, it makes problems with kisses - they're either skipped, or replaced by sex scene. Which leads to some very awkward situations, like sex at the Denerim market place, or in the Deep Roads, when they're covered in blood. xD

I tried to figure out which version of ZDF to use... but then I installed Gatekisses, and it says it has included everything from ZDF. So far I didn't have any problems, so I guess it's true. :)

@ Bloodsong - and if you pass the 'lick his ear' test, you can do much more than that. :D

Zevran tries to leave at -75, I think. I'm not sure, because I had to use the console cheat to get that. At that time you can still convince him to stay, but at -100 he'll rather die than stay with someone as disgusting as you. (And no wonder, what kind of monster uses the chastity belt twice?) xD

@SoLD, wow, sweet art! (Although it fails to sway me from shipping Shianni/Zev in your universe. A girl can hope! ;) )

Aaaand I think all this chatter has suggested the next prompt:

Posted Image

Chastity Belt

Either the Warden's feastday prank or, if your Warden would never ever ever deploy the device on Zevran, someone else can be wearing it.

Entries can be anything from crack to dark, but if it's NSFW please post it off of BSN, link to it, and flag the link as NSFW.

Medium: Whatever, y'all.

Time: 3 hrs

Deadline: Friday 5/25, noon EDT.

Prize: Sure.

Hello everyone. I am new here. I have read through this entire thread, but this is my first time posting. I just wanted to let you all know that I have enjoyed all of your stories and artwork. You are all very talented artists and writers. I am not much of a writer. Sometimes I get ideas, but I have difficulty putting those ideas into words. Maybe one of these days I will get the courage to try one of the prompts just for fun.

My user name means absolutely nothing. When I joined, everything I thought of was already taken, including the name of my first gray warden. I finally got annoyed and just started typing letters. dralkjin was what I came up with, so I just went with it. lol

Zevran is my favorite character. I have played through the xbox version of Dragon Age Origins three times and I romanced Zev all three times. I love his personality. What I like most about him is his ability to have such a lighthearted nature and positive outlook even after all the horrible things he has been through. I also love his sense of humor.

Congrats to Corker for the win. I'm looking forward to reading more. I will try to check in as often as I can. I want to help to keep this thread going because Zevran really is ridiculously awesome and his fans are the coolest.

No, Gatekisses does not.  What Gatekisses does have is an old version of ZDF's changes to party_banter.dlg which includes the Denerim Gates dialog and the Post-Landsmeet conversation.  ZDF itself fixes far more than this (including bugs in his dialog).  Of course, to use Gatekisses with ZDF, you have to delete party_events.dlg/dlb from ZDF's directory -- it has a much better fix in place, but when working with Charsen trying to update it, it kept being ass so Gatekisses remains an older version.  It's still good, though, and nothing breaks with it.

With ZDF, just use the regular version unless you're also using Dialog Tweaks or Ser Gilmore NPC, in which case use that version instead.

I'm still here and still lurking!  But since I'm not much of a writer (lol, even my READMEs are incomprehensible *grin*), I don't contribute.

*Hugs* all!:wub:

We had an awesome diorama entry the one time! But yeah, it's mostly writers and artists.

I think we ought to do an Opposites Day. Like, all the writers have to draw, and any artists have to write. And people who do both have to, um... perform rhythmic dance and upload the video to YouTube. (Kidding.) It would be fun! And silly! We haven't had enough silly lately.

Hi dralkjin! Welcome aboard!

It's funny, I was actually thinking an opposite day would be fun but I didn't think anyone would like the idea so I didn't propose it myself :)

(Needless to say, I'd be in.)

Thanks Corker. I used to draw sketches. I would look at a photo of a real person and draw it. It was usually of an actor or musician that I liked. Sometimes they would turn out good and other times they wouldn't. I think one of my best sketches was of Brandon Lee as the Crow. Now that's an idea. Since Zevran is a crow, I could try to draw him with the Crow's face makeup. Someone has probably already done it though.

heyas, drak!

omg, you read THE WHOLE THREAD!?!?!? ::dies just thinking about it::

hahahah! anyway, i think your name is cool. and at least it is pronounceable. its sounds rather draconic/japanese. perhaps you are a ninja dragon? :)
omg, the crow is so cool! i would love to see a try at zevran as 'the crow.' i dont know if it's been done, but i've certainly never seen it.

welcome to the nuthouse :)


i do writing and art, but for the prompts, i always do writing. art just takes too long for me. i suppose i could do a scribble sketch or something....

okay, now with all this gatekisses and zdf.... that's good, but what about the zrs in there too? that was the original issue.
klidi has a list of mods she uses, and i presume that they all work right with the zds. thought... klidi uses at least 40 mods, so not sure if we want to standardize on that :X

i am not licking zevran's, or anyone else's, ear. blech. ::gives that info to bannon::

that's... odd, i think he's down to -85 now. he hasn't said anything about leaving. :/ i will double check.



oh, i just realized... i CAN do art of zevran in a chastity belt. which... would be very scary. right. good thing we are not doing switcheroo day this week. :X

Welcome dralkjin! :D I've never seen the Crow and I'd love to. Aaaand, there were others who said they can't write and now they have 1 chapter in 1 or 2 days. Right, Zax? ;) Give it a try, it's fun!

Bloodsong - 63. And that's without all fancy dresses I used for Zevrana and Airama in Warden's Mission (yes, it's a shameless self-plug ;D). But most of my mods have nothing to do with Zev, they're either about performance or making better shots.

I downloaded ZDF yesterday - thanks for the explanation, Ejoslin! - and it works with ZDF. But you need to remove zevran .dlg files. And party_events file, if you want Gatekisses.  If you do that, all three should work together fine.

Thank you for welcoming me bloodsong. Maybe I was a ninja dragon in a past life. lol

I have read all of your fics that you posted in this thread and I love them. Bannon and Zevran make a good team. I love the way you write them.

I guess I better find my sketchbook and a pencil and attempt to try drawing Zevran as the Crow. I can't promise it will be done any time soon though.

Yes, I read through the entire thread. What's even more disturbing is that I also read through that other extremely long Zevran thread. It took a really, really long time. I think the reason I kept reading it is because it made me laugh. All of you Zevran fans have a wonderful sense of humor that is similar to my own. I also liked reading all of the discussion about Zevran since he's such a deep and well written character. I wish I could have participated in some of those discussions. By the time I joined, that thread had already been locked. I'm so thankful this one is here.

Thanks Klidi. I love all of your fics too.

okay, i'll blame you, corker!

btw, i think i forgot to congratulate you on that smashing prompt win. congratulations, again! :)


@klidi
yes, you'd like the crow. very disturbing. as a point of pride, i have to point out that i knew the crow from the original j o'barr graphic novels. the movie changed the story here and there to make it more dramatic, which was fine. but they left out some of the... i don't know, the smaller details that meant a lot to me.

you're welcome for the welcome, dralk. wait, is there an L in your name too? lol! (yes, bleary eyes here :X ) glad you like the annoying duo ;) (they need a team name... hmm...)

oh, okay, i found this in the ZRS doc... which, i dont know, may be outdated by now? ...

Compatibility and Required Mods:
*ZevRing (Charsen) is the only required mod for ZRS
*ZRS is fully compatible with ZDF - Dialogue Fix (Ejoslin); Be certain to remove zevran_main.dlg and zevran_main.dlb from ZDF's main folder.
*Ejoslin’s Zevran Kisses are included in ZRS allowing the warden a series of repeatable public kisses.
*Currently, BSC is not included. If you wish to run them together, you may, but expect some strangeness in certain scenes.
*IRS- Alistair- Fully compatible if you use the correct version
*Alistair DLG Patch – Fully compatible.
*Dialogue Tweaks is NOT COMPATIBLE. We have done most of what is fixed in it, so that should not be an issue. Since we cannot use the provided dt b2b without weird issues, we CANNOT make them compatible.
*If you discover any incompatibilities, or any new issues, please PM them. There is a better chance of us responding through pm rather than posts on the discussion thread of the project.
*This mod will also NOT be compatible with anything else that alters zevran_main.

For a full and comprehensive list of compatibility for any mod, as well as a great selection of modding possibilities visit The Purple Lady’s Blog on BSN : The Lady’s list of Mods -- http://social.biowar...1736/blog/8671/


now, it doesn't say anything about gatekisses. are the fixed gate thingy-whatevers in one of these other mods, does anybody know? and what the dip is BSC?

*sigh* And you call yourself an evil goddess? When you don't have single pervy mod? xD
Gatekisses is a mod that fixes the scene at the city gates before you leave for the final battle. It's bugged - e.g. Zev in love will use 'friendly' lines. With the mod you get the proper lines and the kiss.

BSC is Better Sex Cutscenes. I can confirm that it works with ZRS - in the tent, first BSC scene will play, then ZRS scene will follow.

i know WHAT gatekisses is, and it's an important fix. but that excerpt from ZRS doesn't mention the gatekisses mod at all and if they are compatible or not.

i'm evil, not smexy :P
you... have double sex scenes? er TENT SCENES i meant to say. yes. ::cough:: i don't know, some of those sex mods are... too much. but thanks so much for that information. that will be handy to many people, i'm sure. ;)

but back to the original question... does gatekisses work with zrs, or not, or does it (either one) need to be modified? or is not needed because it is incorporated into zrs already or into ejoslin's zdf?

gawd, nwn haks were SO much easier!!
