If they did confront Majoralaine (sp?) she would probably be hardened without the warden. Hardened Leli and Zev would get on swell I think.
But I like to think that he got a crush on Walter (whom I wrote into the story as a replacement for the warden in order to get all to stay and have it make sense. Sten following Alastair? Naaah.).
I agree there, if you hardener her she brags about her ability to manipulate people, when she was doing it, being awesome at it, and loving it...to get what she wanted and to basically get the job done. She also makes a reference to the warden at some point about Zevran if your in a relation with him. It seems to be shed bang him in a heartbeat...But then again he is Zev, give them a few days wooing Alistair I bet he could get him in bed too...

As for Alistair he seems kind of incompitent without the Warden being there unless you harden him..If Zev got the contract to kill them, I think he would of actually succeded personally. Alistair is to flighty and to busy mouring Duncan, also being scared about the Darkspawn. He is gullable..ect.
and, assuming Zevran still did fail..would Alistair even bring him along? He sure didnt want to take Zevran after the failed assassination attempt., and I dont see why that would be called off.
I could see him being forced into taking Morrigan, Flemmith can bully that..and he is a wuss, I can definatly see him taking Leliana, and no reason why he wouldnt lug around Oghren. But Zev? Not unless they find a reason why there was no Crow Contract.
Thats my opinion anyways.
