Six years ago, The Hero of Ferelden ended the blight. One of his potential companions however, an Antivian assassin called Zevran was killed after trying to ambush the Warden. He wouldn't have taken chances with an assassin behind his back. The Warden slit the assassin's throat and watched him bleed to death.

Today, the Champion of Kirkwall, who had just defeated a high dragon, got employed by another Antivian in disguise. The job was to fetch an elf from hiding. After fighting numerous montsters, all of which were rather deadly, the Champion emerges to meet with... ZEVRAN!! TA-DAH! The guy hasn't lost his life anymore than his most intriguing accent, despite being killed six years ago.

Gotta say it broke the immersion but I really couldn't help laughing. Have you guys met similar crossings with your imports? Oh, and I'm just out of that cave so I didn't read the rest of the forum to keep myself spoiler free, so please excuse me if this has been already brought up.

Pile it on top of Anders still being alive and a Warden even if you shipped him back with the Templars or he died... or Cullen no longer being "ZOMFG MAGES WILL KILL US ALL" despite his two possible endings.

[Nobody Important]

I am guessing they just retconned it so all the warden's companions lived. I personally killed Leliana and Anders died in the ending slide yet somehow both are still alive.

[Lithuasil]

They clear the anders bit up, if you have him meet nathaniel (he faked his death to get away from the gray wardens), and Zhevran coming back is an import-bug.

[j0eli]

Meh, it just sucks. Towards the end of game bugs are also getting to be a cancer. Another game which was rushed by the moneymakers.

Why would anyone kill Zevran?

Zev appearing if you killed him is a bug, not a retcon.

I don't get it either. killing a potencial companion will end all future quests, conversations, banters, and romance... I just don't get it... It's like you choose to Not play a big part of the game, which you paid for....

Role-playing.  Zevran usually made it in my games, but for a couple Wardens it would not have made sense.  Poor Zev.

I've done that in certain DAO playthroughs for RP and all that. I'm doing it in DA2 right now (throwing isabela to the wolves).

I spare him for the xp and than kill him in Denerim.

If he would've succeeded in killing you, Ferelden would've fallen to the darkspawn and Zevrand will be having a threesome at a ****house.

I see it as the most logical thing to do is kill him without metagaming

Especially if said companion is one of the two actually likeable ones

Because he turns on you before the landsmeet...if he don't care for you that is.

I agree that if you're role-playing your wardens to have different personalities, motivations, etc., then it can make perfect sense to kill off Zev. I only killed him once - my first run through the game, before I knew he'd become a companion if you spared him -lol-

I tried to play a game breaking warden one time who didn't recruit anyone he wasn't forced to and ran off everyone else that he could, but I didn't have the heart to make it through to the end like that.

As hard as roleplaying is in Origins, I'd even find it hard to turn Zev down in that situation, where I present as myself

Well It's hard to be funny or interesting If you're dead.

Before DA 2, this is how Zevran usually ended up:

Human Noble Female: Try to kill her, and fail: You die. Zevran NEVER lived past her.
Human Noble Male: Same, but I only did this once.

Human Mage: First time, and she hasn't yet made it to that point. Will likely spare him. unlikely to romance.

Elf Mage: (always Female) Spared, and often romanced if Alistairs hasn't started.

City Elf (always Female): Spared And Romanced. He will not love again after her death.

I hate the Dwarves of DA:O, and do not play them.

Likely, the HNF will start sparing him, but who knows.......

I've got to admit, my first instinct regarding Zevran was to kill him. My first time through, it really was just metagaming that resulted in him surviving - I wanted someone for my Warden to romance, and I was playing a gay male. I grew to like him as I dug deeper, but that was still me playing against instinct. On top of my initial instinct to NOT dig deeper into the character, I also had the instinct to kill him - he's an ASSASSIN, hired to kill me. I have to metagame to let him live.
