People sent the hate messages because a part of them loves Zevran and it hurt them to see him hurt. Even some of the public comments to that video are, while I believe humorous and not malicious, a bit angry.

It's a tribute to how well he's written and just how good the voice acting is. You can hear his heart break, and that's painful!

Edit: Yay, ToP.  So...  Serissia's Pirate Zevran (love this)!

lol- Pirate Zev... I think I like Klidi's sleek, black-clad assassin look better. :-P

@dralkjin
Hey, I could be entirely off. Maybe they wanted Zev to be the one lone bastion of sexual prowess for a specific reason. Your fantasies have equal merit. ;-)

@ejoslin
They were fairly good comments, weren't they? And again- on a poll/thread designed for the haters rather than the fans. Of course, the thread was closed due to "hateful comments" (of which there was one), but still. One comment mentioned a similar irony to the one you've seen in your YT vid comments: "Also an example how sex is taken waaaaay too seriously. Fictional character hits on everything that moves? Oh woe, oh noez! Fictional character thinks it's okay to kill for money everything that moves? Bah, no big deal."

I was surprised to find more people articulating what I'd originally speculated about him coming late to the party as a dual wielder after Leliana the archer has already insinuated herself, making him difficult to warm up to as a companion for logistical reasons. But that's why I use the No Follower Auto-Level mod so I can make him out-Leliana Leliana's default rogue build. After all, he does claim to have lockpicking skills they don't give him, so...

I also noticed on one of your Zevran-dwarf kiss vids there was a dwarf-hate comment. "Well, that was awkward" or some such. lol It's so stupid as to be comical. A human kissing down to an elf's height or an elf kissing up to a human's height- no prob. An elf kissing down to a dwarf's height- awkward! Sexual squeamishness (and what it tends to reveal) is one of the richest sources of untapped comic material going... Zev exploits it so well (and Lelly even turns it on Zev once).

[ejoslin]

Yeh, it's funny how some people think a height difference makes a difference. I'm a half foot shorter than my husband (I'm 5'7, he's 6'1), so about the same as an elf male/dwarf female, and there's nothing awkward about it. Of course, people can bend their backs which makes it easier

I do wish there had been more discussion in the wiki thread.

And yes, Zevran coming in late as a rogue without lock picking does make it a bit harder for people to integrate him. I use Charsen's ZevranASAP as well as the respec mod so it isn't an issue for me. But leveling him as a str/dex rogue as apparently intended makes him a decent tank and/or damage dealer, but most people don't think of rogues as tanks. In DAO, though, it's easy to do with enough dex and medium armor.

Now I'm overanalyzing the str/dex rogue aspect. Loghain, for instance, has a ton of willpower, and that has to be a roleplay thing (also makes him a bit crappy as a tank until respec'ed). I do wonder if that's possible -- Leliana has a lot of cunning, Zevran does not.

Okay, make of that what you want. It's probably nothing.

[dralkjin]

I love that picture of Zevran. He looks good as a pirate. I completely agree that Zevran is a very well written character and yes the voice acting is great too. When he tells the story of Rinna it always breaks my heart. I have never felt so much emotion when playing a video game before DAO. The creators did an excellent job at making the player feel like it’s real. The other thing I love about it is that it’s easy to get attached to all of the companions. At least it was for me. One thing that I disliked about DA2 is that it wasn’t possible to be friends with all of the companions because of the rivalry.

Yeah Bhryaen, I know what you mean. There were other things in the game besides Zev’s sex scenes that make me believe that he’s experienced though. The lines that Faerunner mentioned were some of them. Also, when you first meet him, if you get into the discussion about the bed warming, he says he can go all night. In his sex scenes it looks like they did go all night. lol Another thing to consider is his background of being raised by ****s and sold to the Crows when he was a youngling. We know he had to do whatever he needed to survive. I don’t like to imagine any of the horrible things that went on during his training with the Crows, because it’s too disturbing. However, since we know that he is skilled in seduction, we can conclude that he probably learned as much as he could about sex. I also believe confidence comes with experience and Zevran definitely has confidence.

I don’t like the fact that Zevran doesn’t have the lock picking skills when you first get him either. I always give them to him anyway, because I prefer to take him rather than Leliana. Zev still kicks ass for me every time. He rarely ever gets knocked out of a battle. Leliana hardly ever does either though. Sometimes I take Zevran and Leliana together depending on what I am doing. I always take both of them on the Jarvia quest and any other quest where you are mainly fighting rogues.

[ejoslin]

That Zevran is experienced is even a question? It's one of the integral parts of his character. At one point he'll admit that it is both one of the best parts of what he does, but also that it can be unpleasant.

It's why his ending up associating sex with the warden with love is such a huge thing.

ETA: I don't mean this in a ****y way at all -- I apologize if it comes off that way.  I'm just surprised that that could even be a question.

Faerunner wrote...

Indeed, not to mention the many stories has relating to his experience. When trying to seduce you, he mentions techniques that "one can only learn growing up in an Antivan ****house." He mentions how the Crows often pick elves because humans find them attractive, thus easier to seduce. He mentions the Crows require "a certain open-mindedness" to stay in their ranks; meaning they need assassins who can swing both ways so they'll have a greater chance of seducing potential targets, and they likely don't believe claims of "I'm bisexual" on good faith alone. :/ 

This. I agree it's disturbing to think about it, especially if you remember that he was bought out from the Antivan brothel when he was seven.

In fact... Zevran shows signs of a survivor of child abuse. I knew a bit about that subject when I first played the game, and after I met Zev, I did a lot more research specifically about abuse of boys. I learned a lot of unpleasant facts, e.g. how kids are groomed to be prostitutes through pleasure and shame "but your body likes it, your body doesn't lie, it proves that even if you say no, you in fact want it, you're a dirty, naughty, shameless person and deserve all that happens to you..." Ever since  I have a problem to read stories and fanfictions that use "but your body likes it" argument.

I don't know if Gaider did all that research and if he intentionally wrote Zev that way; I like to think he did, and that alone earned him eternal respect from me.

Because, Zev really fits... He's flirting with everyone, he's promiscous, but, on the other hand, he has trouble to connect with other person on emotional level, and when things between him and the Warden get serious, he starts refusing sex. So in fact, his lecherous side is NOT him being so gret in coping with his difficult past - it's him not coping well at all, only suppressing memories and thoughs about his past and hiding behind a mask.

Normally healing of victims takes years. Zev, with the Warden's help, can make significant progress within just one year... He's ridiculously aweseme.

[ejoslin]

Heh, to quote Zevran:

"Ahh, it's just old scars and nothing more which you see. Ignore them as I do, and perhaps they'll go away."

I think you're spot on.

[dralkjin]

Faerunner, although I have never made one of my characters go to the tent with Alistair in my game, I have heard some of those conversation on youtube or read them in fan fictions, so I understand what you mean now. I agree that it is kind of funny how Alistair gets embarrassed so easily when someone tries to talk to him about sex. I’m surprised that he had the courage to ask Zevran how to woo someone, knowing that Zevran would probably make fun of him. Leliana wouldn’t even talk to Zevran about her vision, because she knew he would make fun of her. Ha ha! Sexed up Inigo Montoya is a good way to describe Zevran’s personality.

Ejoslin, I didn’t take your comment in a bad way, but I wanted to let you know that the discussion about Zevran being experienced wasn’t supposed to be meant as a question. I was only questioning whether his sex scenes were supposed to portray his experience. I was only joking with Bhryaen about ruining my fantasy. I know that Zevran is supposed to be experienced. After my initial question about Zevran's sex scene, I wanted to keep the conversation going by discussing Zevran and his experience. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was questioning it. It was meant to be more like I was thinking out loud, but including the rest of you to join in on my thoughts. Unfortunately, I am not always good at transferring my thoughts into text, which is why I don’t write fan fiction. I am trying to improve my writing, which is one of the reasons I have returned to discuss my favorite DAO character with all of you awesome people who love him.

Klidi, I agree and I also hate to think of poor little Zevran being abused as a child. I’m just happy that our gray wardens can help him to learn how to love.

[ejoslin]

Bleh, I had a feeling that my post was going to be taken as negative, which I didn't mean it to be. And it wasn't that you were unclear, I wasn't questioning whether you thought he was experienced. I guess I mistook what you had said to mean that some people didn't think he was, and given some of the fandoms around the internet, it actually wouldn't surprise me if people rewrote him to where he really was not that experienced.

As to whether the sex scenes variety are meant to reflect that he's an experienced lover, it makes sense.

Anyway, sorry I made you feel you needed to explain further -- it was my misunderstanding, not your writing!

[Melca36]

One of my all time favorite Zevran lines:wizard:

[Bhryaen]

Zev's humor and unbridled sexuality aren't the worst coping mechanisms to have though. Like Loghain said (after getting his ass kicked and deciding to be reasonable), facing the stress of command, most of his military colleagues turned to drink or religion. But it's not like Zev is a "sexaholic" or something, and much of the sex he talks in banter seems more a matter of teasing and using others' inhibitions against them deflectively than genuine interest.

Now Oghren by contrast is a bit overwrought on sexuality in his banter- as Sigrun ultimately exposes him for. So whatever Zev's personal hang-ups, he never gets so untoward or gets unmasked as such. Zev seems a mite more self-aware.

Not that "survivor recovery" isn't built into Zev- hard to see how it couldn't be at least in some way- but it's not as if he wears victimhood on his bootstraps. He himself responds to concern about his "upbringing" by pointing out that whatever suffering and privations he endured as a Crow, the lifestyle and social options he enjoyed weren't exactly dismal. Not many paupers are into their own haircare as much as he's alleged to be. So he's not exactly a cookie-cutter psych profile. Consider also:

1. He's already fairly savvy about interpersonal reality. He's just too good at pushing people's buttons to be so caught up in his "inner angst" as to not be aware of other people's feelings.
2. He's already developed healthy personality traits- humor and wit topmost, but also a good measure of self-honesty, a key ingredient in sanity. He makes no rationalizations for his murder of Rinna, for ex. and truly struggles to come to terms with himself over it.
3. He's also developed a healthy outlook for embracing positive change in life. After all, after a lifetime as a Crow he flips from being a Crow to a loyal Gray Warden companion in a matter of minutes. Not everyone is so versatile, even when facing liberation.
4. Despite his recurring concern for the welfare of elves, he criticizes the Denerim Alienage elves for being complacent about their treatment- refusing to adopt a victim status as a crutch.

Plus it's not like he's been incapable of love until the Warden came along. He felt for Rinna but never got the chance to have a heart-to-heart and risk emotional vulnerability with her (if she were capable) before the incident happened. After a few months with the Warden, he's smitten again and has a chance few Crows ever get in a lifetime to express tenderness for another human(oid) being- albeit with a conversation option for you to break his heart, but he takes the chance. Zev's lack of an ongoing love life and the sanguinary scenery of his living hasn't kept him from becoming a strong and even somewhat wise person (despite his low Cunning score heh).

Maybe his voice actor made light of Zev as over-sexed in a single soundbite, but he certainly voiced all Zev's emotional nuances through the game splendidly.

Bah, but maybe I can't really speak. I just discovered that my Sywynlae never even got Zev's earring offer somehow (just due to neglected opportunities, not a bug). At least he did stay with her to help train new Wardens. *sigh* Maybe on my replay of Kruklya in a while I'll manage to play through his romance fully for once...

Actually, hardened!Leliana does almost exactly to Zevran what Sigrun does to Oghren.

Zevran: I must say, dear woman, I rather like this change in you.
Leliana: That's nice, but I'm not sleeping with you.
Zevran: Oh, I can think of many other things we can do other than sleep.
Leliana: Oh? Then let's see what's in those trousers. I like to make informed decisions, after all.
Zevran: That's rather saucy of you, isn't it? You really have changed!
Leliana: Yes, yes. I don't see those trousers coming down, however, do I?
Zevran: Err...you just want me to show you? Right here?
Leliana: Why not? Aren't you the shameless lothario you claim to be? There are rumors about you elves and I intend to see them proved untrue before I even consider a tumble.
Zevran: On second thought, perhaps you've traveled to an awkward place where I dare not follow...
Leliana: I thought as much.

Hi all!  I'm new to the community and I couldn't bring Antivan Brandy (virtual Antivan Brandy is so unsatisfying) so I humbly  submit a picture I drew of Zev this evening!  (sorry i don't have a scanner so i had to do the stupid cell phone)

Glad to be on board!

Oghren is a warrior and a drunk - there's nothing. His life was very different from Zev (I'm not saying  "easier" or "worse", just different). Zevran was trained as an assassin who used his body to seduce his  marks. While  Oghren's crude comments are crude because he doesn't know any better, I always suspected that Zevran was overdoing it because we wanted to scare the others away.

Yes, one would expect that victims of abuse will be all angsty, depressed, avoiding sex... There are no "cookie-cutter psych profiles" -  these things can't be generalised, of course, each person's reaction is individual just as conditions of  each abuse case is individual.  But, according to sources I found (you don't have to trust me, google it yourself), among more common singns are liberal views on sex, flirting, promiscuity, easy-going attitude, ignoring or brushing away painful memories, refusal to talk about it, pretending 'it's the past now, I'm ok', and on the other hand, problems with trusting people, connecting on a deeper level, more intimate and permanent relationship, expressing the feelings...
As I said, I was surprised how well it fit to Zev... But, I'm not saying it the only correct interpretation of  Zevran. One of the reasons I love this game - and fanfiction - is that there are so many possible interpretations and views.

As for money, it's true that Zev says that being Crow gets you some privileges. But he also says that apprentices lived in a small appartment near cesspit - so apprentices don't live that much better than a beggar. He also hints several times at life conditions, and though he says it never happened to him, later we see that he lied in some respects (e.g. torture)...

True, and that's why he fascinates me. He wants to change. Even as a Crow he try to run to Dalish. He's not accepting with his fate to be a Crow,  he's willing to rather die than to continue wit it, and when he senses a chance with the Wardens, he immidiately uses it.
But I don't think he flips to a loyal companion in a matter of minutes. It takes time and the effort from the Warden to lower Zevran's walls. If he comes to the conclusion that it was useless, he will either leave the Warden or betrray him/her to the Crows.

True, but the incident happened because of his inability to trust her - even though they were lovers, he was ready to believe she was a traitor and assissted in her execution, even spat on her corpse.

[RuskaMonster]

You guys have no idea how happy I am that I found this forum. Seeing so many good character analyses truly warms the hart.

Go team hurrah.

[Bhryaen]

Hm, seems my last post came across as a polemic... for something. I'd meant mostly only to accentuate a part of the picture that seemed lacking, not to contradict anything.

Well, I'll just start by saying that we (here in my particular resolute faction of ardent Zevran supporters) do hereby assert... uh... Oh, where are our position papers?

The main thing I mentioned that got lost in translation is that Zev's deflectiveness and reluctance to impart all his most intimate details, yes, in part has to do with him not trusting people (due to upbringing), but in most of the cases we witness in-game his deflections are fairly justified. Does he really have cause to open up to Wynne when she prods him about changing his lifestyle? Or Alistair? Or Leliana? Or Morrigan? (OK, maybe Leliana.) Few of us open up to everyone we meet, and it's not exactly a counter-productive mechanism. When we deflect people who attempt to prise into places where we'd rather not let them, it's not exactly a failure on our part, is it? At least not for us in the Zevran Cool & Calculated Faction. And Zev does it in the most hillarious and disarming way. Again- humor and sex aren't the worst deflections you can receive. Threats and tantrums demonstrate far worse coping abilities... as seem fairly common in DA2 banter... (I'll never play DA2...)

Not to mention Zev's profession which- even if he'd had a childhood listening to the Cousland nanny's bedtime stories- requires a bit of stand-offishness for survival. And Zev may give up the Crows instantly, but he doesn't relinquish his profession- not for an instant. Best to limit closeness only to those you know you can trust- or be dead- and that process takes time, exactly the time he has with the Warden.

True about his behavior with Rinna though. The Gauntlet Guardian nails him on that too- as much as he can since, as we see, Zev is honestly not hiding anything from himself on the matter. His outward relishing of the murder of Rinna (at the time it happened anyway) has all the signs of him hiding from genuine intimacy through the death of his beloved. But then again, what do we really know of Rinna? How can we know that she herself had ever opened up with him or never showed signs of a tendency for betrayal, regardless of Zev's feelings and wishes on the matter to the contrary?

So the point I was making was that Zev likely does consider himself more than "worthy of better" than the life which the Crows have in store for him, but that he hasn't explored because, well, the Crows, and secondly no ravishing Warden ever showed up to provide such an exquisite opportunity for that "better" after all. I can certainly see him being a bit less sure of himself after his all-too-recent incident with Rinna as well. It was probably unlikely he would meet another Rinna in his line of work after having not met one until that point as it was- and to have lost her as he did made it worse- so it's not surprising he attempted suicide by Gray Warden (or the darkness of having succeeded). But nevertheless he manages to bounce back and be open to a relationship after all within a matter of months. Not that he pursues one without the Warden prompting him, but it's the same with every other NPC in that regard. Actually it may be his experience with Rinna that makes the formation of a meaningful relationship the most meaningful factor in his life decisions at that point, having had a taste of what he'd been missing all his life...

But, yeah, what Klidi said about open interpretations. Not that any game out there lacks incomplete story arcs, but DAO is very dense in them and has such a rich basis in creative writing anyway...

Oh, and what I'd meant was that Zev truly is loyal to the Warden at first. Morrigan is spot on in all her mistrust of the assassin who has only his treacherous word to convince us he's not intending to "finish the job" when the opportunity presents itself. For all Zev's explanation that he can't return to the Crows, he does attempt to if he betrays the Warden later. So he could backstab the Warden any time- poison the food, etc- but until that much later critical moment he's a devoted member of Team Warden, as Lorelei puts it. Even if he's mostly just hanging with the Warden to determine if a lifestyle choice outside the Crows is viable and worth the danger- unless you get to know him better, of course, which gives him the most appealing incentive- you can already count on him within minutes of his assassination attempt. That's someone with a good grasp on their prospects.

Ironically my DN is stuck in a save at Zev's assassination attempt right now. Despite the intention to do this run with Leliana instead, I'd added the ZevranASAP mod just after Sywynlae's run, but now I'm facing him early (*gulp*) and with a character who has little inclination to even recruit him. My DN does have a penchant for giving people a chance- except Trian, though that turned out badly for him- but... a royal heir trusting an assassin who tried to kill him? At present Zev (and his fellow "travelers") is safe in limbo... as is Jagan heh...

P.S. Corker, I knew about that- mentioned it a couple posts back myself- but I was trying not to be repetitive or repeat myself. Though she doesn't unmask him so much as turn his same deflection method against him. Works too! :-) I also didn't want to repeat it because it would feel like insisting- on behalf of Leliana (*grimace*)- on how Zev was foiled. But I didn't recognize that was only banter from a hardened!Leliana. What does softy!Leliana say? Or the banter just never happens in that case?

[Klidi]

It's time for a shameless selfplug again! New chapter of Failed to Fail, Crossing Swords is finally up.

[Bhryaen]

Not to distract from Klidi's submission, but I'm obligated (yeah, right) to express gratitude for a Corker story having made my day... and for bringing on the gusher again while I'm at work. Sod you, Duster! In a good way... (And there's no other thread to throw accolade confetti, so...)

The story (which everyone here probably read yrs ago) involves a penitent Zevran who- I couldn't help thinking as the scenery unfolded, "Of course Zevran would go to the Gauntlet for that..." As might so many who otherwise had no interest in the nice vase at the end of the hall. Such a clever use of DAO material... Love the Guardian brush-off, anticipating its lines...

The Chantry lines at the beginning were a put-off at first though: Zevran Who Memorizes Chantry Lines. I couldn't tell who the protagonist of the story was. It was mentioned by ejoslin in another thread that Zevran is semi-religious, but I've never seen that of him in-game, wondering at where this impression is coming from. The closest I've got was being surprised at how quickly he invokes "Maker's breath" types of exclamations. I didn't recognize the Chantry was so widespread as to also have insinuated itself into Antiva, so it was a mild shock. I mean, he was indoctrinated into the Crows but seemed to have developed a deep savvy regarding their requirements and the limitations of their actual effectiveness. I thought that sort of mental distancing might extend also to religion.

And just because I like visuals, here's Zevran meeting Jagan Aeducan- yet another character gets to shake Zev's hand. It was like old friends coming together after years apart- ready to reconnect and reminisce- like a homecoming.

Once upon a time Jagan and Zevran were both traveling on the road, and Jagan happened on Zevran who was ecstatic to see the kingly dwarf and his companions. Immediately Zevran smiled and extended a hand in greeting...



Sensing a celebration ahead, Jagan smiled back. "Greetings, good elf! How are you this fine day?"



And Zevran returned the smile again with joy and said, "And greetings to you too, good dwarf! I would be happy to introduce you to my friends, Traveller and Traveller... And nooo, they're not twins, silly."



Jagan was pleased to meet them and introduced them to his friends too and soon everyone was acquainted and Zevran's friend, Traveller- no, the other one- made some delightful magic tricks to entertain everyone. Then Zevran asked Jagan nicely if it would please him to see Zev's favorite backscratcher that Zevran carries on his back... for scratching.



Well, Jagan said, "I would be happy to see your backscratcher!" So Zevran took it from his back, but, oops, he dropped it. Fortunately Jagan was quick to dive to catch it so it wouldn't get dirty on the ground. And Jagan hit the dirt catching the backscratcher... several times... Ouch. And Zev said, "You seem so smitten with me. Have you fallen for me already?"



And they laughed and played and made merriment and killed each other repeatedly, and it was a grand time like neither of them had ever experienced.



So Jagan asked him to come along- because it's a redemption story- and Zevran said Yes. And all was good and happy and overly pleasant. THE END

Oh, why can't I meet my favorite character in a Denerim pub instead?
