Ok ejoslin, you and I are going to have to disagree on whether the dwarf or elven kiss and tent scenes are better.  All in the spirit of squee-dom, of course... and as an excuse to talk about Zevran kisses.  :wub:

But having seen the dwarf tent scenes now, I'm going to give the edge to my elven girl.  Exhibit A, he grabs her head when kissing, and doesn't do so on the dwarf (she puts her hand around his head in that case).  I think they have different templates here, because for Alistair the PC also grabs him rather than vice versa.  Maybe it's just me but I find the former more romantic.

Exhibit B, Zevran smiling.  The most squee-worthy moment of any Zevran tent scene IMO is early in the elven scene when he takes her head in his hands (again with that, I guess I like that move LOL) and looks at her.  He's got such a tender expression and like he's amazed at her.  Later on in the elven tent scene there is also a look that is much like the expression you posted a screen for in the dwarven scene (the screen that got the banhammer because your mod made a boob show in it).

I have some screenshots, but I feel awkward posting them.  LOL  Like I figure other people have their preferred images of their PC's and might not care to be voyeur on mine.  But the curious are welcome to look at my photobucket page.  I don't have mods so there's no nudity or anything.

Agreed, that moment makes my heart skip a beat every time. His look is sooo intense. :wub: And that's the reason I don't like BSC, because you lose the amazing facial expressions in favor of some pixel peen. I'd much rather watch that fiery look in his eyes any day.

Exhibit A: depends TOTALLY on how you start the encounter.  Proof is in the screen shot!  hahaha, I LOVE posting that picture!

Exhibit B. You can't see his face, yes, at the beginning of the dwarven one, but he also is cradling her face! But yes, the look he gives her is incredibly tender in the elf one.

And unfortunately, I can't show the screenshot for the other, but in the dwarf one, Zevran is SMILING, in the elf one, he is not, though the look on his face is incredibly sweet.

Edit: I think in both the dwarf and the elf female one, he looks incredibly sweet and tender.  In the human female one, he looks more passionate, but not as loving.  It's more focused on her, though.

yep, two dwarven kisses where he grabs the face, and by far the best is when he kneels first.  You do have to wait for him to offer the massage to get the kneeling one, though!  

Edit: Ok, I will give that Zevran is the most tender in the female elf scene (which is the same as the male elf scene actually).  He is smiling in the dwarf scene though, through it.  I love that, for some reason. And I prefer the kiss in dialog tweaks for the female dwarf than for the female elf.

HOWEVER, all Zevran love scenes are incredible.  For a character who is supposed to be casual, there seems to be a lot of emotion there :wub:

Second edit: Sereda is on ice while I play Kallian.  Heh, I spent my afternoon writing the faq instead of getting through the werewolf ruins.  And I know there's a massage waiting at the end.  *grin* After dinner!

I just can't seem to get into my dwarven characters. I love the story, but I can't seem to RP them. I'm having the same problem with the HN characters. I really want to play them long enough to get to the Zev scenes, but they annoy me too much!



Sigh. Screenshots for me I guess. Back to my sweet elf mage. He is totally smitten with the exotic elf.

Oh, off topic question here (sorry, but this thread feels like home). How do I rename my links? I'd like to just have my "zevran faq" clickable. But I cannot figure out how! I know it's obvious, too :(

Type in what you want your link called, then select the text. When you click to add a link, it will make the text the link.

Triplight has a different Zevran mod than I do, mine uses Duncan's hair and makes him look quite dashing (though I've yet to see a Zevran that does not look dashing.. heh). Here's the mod I use for him:

I'll probably give the other mod a go the next time I play through, unless I get sidetracked into the toolset... muahaha.

Oh, right!  How could I have forgotten "the" screenshot?  LOL

Exhibit B. You can't see his face, yes, at the beginning of the dwarven one, but he also is cradling her face! But yes, the look he gives her is incredibly tender in the elf one.

I'm so happy for my elven mage that even after she gives Alistair up- which won't be easy, but she realizes that not only is there no future, as a blood mage she would be a threat to him if others found out- that Zevran is in the wings.  Even my city elf had grown up with a loving family and friends, but having been taken from hers and put in the Tower, my mage has had nothing of tenderness or trust her whole life.  I find the mage origin the most depressing- the idea that your best friends were Jowan and Cullen?!  With such an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust thick in the air even between fellow mages, and the threat of death from the templars always imminent, she can relate to Zevran's life almost better than can my city elf.

Ahhh, see I just can't bring myself to mod his appearance. There's something not quite right to me about any of them. Not that they're not great alterations, but I just can't see them as Zevran. Funnily enough, I'm perfectly happy modding Morrigan and Leliana (actually I *have* to mod them), but Alistair and Zevran will never get touched. Call me crazy! =P

Oh, I'm loving this thread... I adore Zevran, and reading this thread has given me a great new insight to him. I need to do a male playthrough to get the Morrigan romance, and at least a couple more as Human Nobles for their endings...but from then on its gonna be Zevran from the get-go.

yeah i don't do mods usually, but I do like duncan's hair, so I might have to do this. That second photo... SIGH



well i got done the mage tower without wrynn :) Sten is interesting there. And Cullen is a riot. For some reason I didnt' pick up all that dialog the first time I ran a mage through (it was my first char so maybe it was just too overwhelming to remember everything). But I picked the wrong ending the first time so I had a bit of Zevran squee -- him defending the mages. I'm glad I did because it was really worth hearing. And I did love his comment about me being a heartbreaker. He was still at neutral. Does he say anything different if he's at care or adore ?

No, he doesn't. His cutscene comments and approval levels don't change no matter what his approval is (aside from the Alieange when romancing a city elf).

yay I can continue with the game~

I ended up defeating the forge master by equipping bows to all my characters and sniping the forge masters minions before even attempting to fight the bugger :3

edit: heres some screenies of IMO the most disappointing boss fight (difficulty wise) in the game Alexander, Oghren and Zevran pretty much put the poor woman out of her misery in about before I even knew what was going on she went down that fast

You know, I feel much the same way. Zevran is a bit of a departure for me on what I find attractive. I do like long blond hair on men but I don't usually go for the tan or the accent. Go figure but I just can't get enough of him!
I felt bad in one of my playthroughs as a HNF that I romaced Al and kept Zevran on the side after naming myself to the throne. Al was so happy to be getting married to my PC that I decided he deserved a totally faithful Queen the next HNF - and as a result, I am sooo missing Zev! Luckily, I have several other character in parallel that are romancing Zevran just to help me get through it, lol. I'm sick, sick, sick.

Haha, well you should know my "type" is guys with dark, curly hair, so Zevran is quite a departure for me as well! Although my boyfriend doesn't match that description either (redhead), so go figure... But I've grown to really like Zevran's appearance- it fits him, somehow, in a way I can't really imagine changing.

My HNF is romancing NO ONE. It has been so lonely. She'll marry Alistair, but there will be no love in her life, for now at least. :( I'd originally planned to not romance Zevran with my future characters, but I can already feel myself giving in... My Dalish, my Mage, probably my DC... Darn you Zevran!



@CZ- That fight is really easy once you know how to handle it. Especially if you have an archer in the group, she pretty much gets owned. Which is good, because the less I have to look at her the better.

I didnt even have an archer and Morrigan didnt even use offensive spells (she had haste and used healing magic only)



all that build up though to her though i feel was wasted with such a ****** easy boss fight I mean come on the forge master was harder than her!

I like variety, but yeah, I'm usually one to like pale skin and dark hair best. But I love Zev the way he is. Really, I kind of like having my preferences challenged. I think I'd get board if every hot guy was the pale goth type. Not that there's anything wrong with the mods... they look well made.



Granted I can't bring myself to mod any of the characters, actually. I think it makes the game feel more real to me; not personally shaping people to look the way I'd like, superficially.

LOL! Did you ever consider that you're just that good?

Or maybe she had a little too much to eat for lunch and wasn't feeling good when you got to her... Your timing is impeccable!



Since I feel like I'm derailing every thread from what it's supposed to be... Zevran!

Where's ejoslin to get us back on track?
