I skipped a lot in my first playthrough, so I don't know how or why Zevran magically appears, but I'm looking forward to finding him.
After my Warden and he had a tumble, they became best friends.
And that makes me realize something.
In DAII, it actually felt like the companions where friends or rivals with Hawke, rather than just being companions. I never really had strong ties to the Origins companions save for Alistair who my Warden romanced. She didn't really have a "BFF" though, unlike Hawke and Varric.
I like to think Zevran was my Warden's BFF though. He stayed in Denerim with her, after all. :/
I know what you mean. Plus, there was never really any incentive for me to go and talk to certain party members in DAO- Mainly Leliana /D but that's because she annoyed my canon Warden so much.
Morrigan was my canon Warden's BFF- they were so similar it was scary.
I find in DA2 the characters, I dunno, have more depth? It's difficult to explain why I find them better, I just do p:
Yeah. Morrigan I'm kind of half and half on. They became friends, but that didn't stop my Warden from feeling full on disgusted/betrayed/spiteful about the whole Dark Ritual thing.
They look on my face the first time I saw the Morrigan/Alistair scene?

I then set out to hate Morrigan, until I read that comic. The one that was done by aimo but was written by Gaider, if I recall correctly.
That sent me back into the friendship line, and ended up making me pity her a bit.
My Warden wanted to get into Leliana's pants... but decided it was too much work. Alistair was also not impressed.
I think what gives the DAII companions a little more life is what happens off camera. They all have their own lives, doing their own things. They help out Hawke when they can, but they aren't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting on his/her hand on foot.
That said, I thought the DAII romances needed more. Alistair's romance was full of many, many things, and was awesome.
I think the game itself needed more dialogue. I loved just randomly talking to my companions in DA:O.
