Could be Creature.

But considering that my HNF's sister-in-law didn't have an accent either, it is rather strange that the accent is not universal.



Thanks, Sami Jo. It just feels weird to dump points into CON. I'm with Ramante there.

Sorry to hear that, CZ. I hope you feel better soon.

I like Zevran in Shadow Warden Coat. It would be even better if it revealed his thighs!

What's that??




I haven't cought up with new pages yet and someone may have already answered that question, but I guess it never hurts to post some more Zevran screenies ;)

It's a hot, black armor that can be found on Nexus

Ahh... I'm sweating a little.  :wub:  My husband is nervous about all these mods, and completely baffled by the fascination with Zevran, but he'll get over it.  LOL

(damn this laptop and what it does to my posts! I can't explain it..)

@everyone: thanks for the clarification re: the boots and the mission he was on when not buying them. ;) That still leaves the puzzle about whether or not he was in Ferelden, or at least not in Antiva, but given the time and distances involved, I think he may have had to be nearer than Antiva, or, like ejoslin suggested, Howe was prepared ahead of time for some stray Wardens (..or anyone else he didn't like. bastard ;( ). But, I suppose that's a situation completely open to interpretation. :D



@Creature -- hmm, yeah, considering Taliesen's name (which gets spelled both ways in the game itself! Sigh ;D) and his accent, I pondered the fact that he might be Fereldan in origin. Duncan has a somewhat similar story in The Calling.

Maybe that's why Zevran's Fereldan is so good -- he seems muuuch more articulate than Ignacio. Although I'm sure both being a Crow and growing up in a major capital would give Zevran enough opportunities to learn the language, having a friend to practice with might help too? /random thought

He seems more articulate than Alistair, tbh.

Oh my goodness. Both of those posts made me laugh out loud again. My poor cat. My poor son. They'll be severely traumatized, I swear. :lol:

Zev is practical.  He has a soft spot for those who cannot help themselves, but he has no patience with solving problems for those who can fix it on their own.  He is a survivor, and while he doesn't trust Morrigan, he does respect her and she respects him.  He wants everyone to underestimate him. 

He is never really in the group to save the world.  He's not sorry that they are saving the world, but that isn't why he is there.  He is there solely for the Warden, and if the Warden wanted to go slaughter kittens he would register a protest and then go along with it.  It is one of the biggest appeals for me about the romance--he is the only character other than your dog who is there solely for you.  He will only leave if you tell him to or if you do nothing at all to earn his loyalty.  Oghren is close, but he is following you out of desperation.  He has lost everything and fighting darkspawn is all he knows how to do right.  Zev is the one who notices when the Warden is stressed.  Zev cares about the Warden's happiness above all else. 

I think he took the mission to kill the Wardens knowing that he probably wouldn't succeed, but he is too much of a survivor to have totally given up.  I think some part of him hoped that if he did succeed he would be able to return and throw it in the face of the master who valued him so little.  I think he was seeing it as either proving that he was worth something and returning triumphant, or dying because the master was right. 

QFT, I like how you put this.

LOL  I should emphasize, he is nervous about any mods because we're both computer doofuses and if I mess something up, we'll be like babes lost in the woods.  Not because they all center around an Antivan assassin.  Ok, maybe a bit of both...

Also very true. XD He does like to talk... But it's part of his charm. <3

Mods can screw up your game, but not your computer. They don't have that kind of power. If in doubt, just ask, There are dirty mods, and there are clean ones. That's what is so great about the DAModder, it checks for compatibility. Mods that involve texture and meshes can be a bummer, but here will always be someone around who can help you.

While I don't know if I think Zevran was involved, there IS the banter in game regarding the Crows being hired to kill Arl Urien (Vaughn's father), so "in the area" might be possible, in that scenario.

This thread never fails to make me laugh... dwarf sex, OMG :lol:
I've just had some wine with my friend who'd finished her first DAO play through recently romancing Alistair. I spent at least half hour advertising Zevran's romance to her. She must think I'm a looney now. An even bigger looney than before, anyway.

Have you seen 'Leliana must have gotten into Flemeth's Black
Grimoire' thread? If not, check out this video. Funniest-glitch-ever. Seriously.

That's true, but some mods can't be installed using DAModder.  That's when I get nervous, moving files around into folders unknown.  This Shadow Armor, which I immediately decided I must have- it is exactly what I was whinging about when I talked about Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood armor- well, DA Modder doesn't like the file.

Addai Override mods are really really easy to installed

just unzip the mod into a "shadow armor" folder then flonk said folder into the override folder

thats all you have to do and if you want to uninstall it for some reaosn just delete the shadow armor folder

Ok, after doing (I know unnecessary) testing on all three races, it's beautiful. I can't think of a thing I would change. Charsen, when you have it up on DA Nexus, may I have your permission to link to it?
*sigh* wow.


absolutely! i'm glad you like it. ^_^ 
I am uploading it to the Nexus now, trying to make sure everything is all happy and polished - I will post again when it's all ready to go.

Charsen, quick question if you would.  I'm using the DT manual version.  Would I just extract your files to my DT folder, and allow them to overwrite the DT files?  I'm assuming this is correct, but let me know if it isn't!  :happy:

Thank you so much for the mods.  I'm really enjoying ZevranASAP, and am looking forward to playing with this new one.  

Yes ma'am just overwrite the DT files and you should be good to go :) *will add that info to the mod instructions too*

I have a question about the Earring mod does it add the earring into your invantory even if you have already had the cutscene by the time you installed it?
I would test it out myself however I have a really bad headache coming on and really need to go lay down to get rid of it


if you install it after your discussion with zevran about the ring and he "gives" you the ring, sadly it won't add it later on. I might try to fix that in the future though, or at least have a work-around, but i will have to think about how to do it.

edit: i hope you feel better CZ, that's an awful way to spend the day :(


~sorry for the wall of replies, so many posts while i went out for lunch!<3

well you could always add in a console code that adds the earring into your inventory

The Shadow Armor is safe and sound. It does go into your override, and the DA updater will do it for you. It's in C/program files/Dragon Age/bin_ship/daupdater.exe

Sometimes the Modder fails, but so does the updater. Those mods are still safe. I've been using the Shadow Armor for a long time, and never had any probems.

I have a Zevran question! Yes, yes, I do, and I do not want to go through a breakup to figure it out (sorry, I'm not strong enough today). Does someone know, off hand, whether the final mission dialog triggers at 81+ friendly or 91+ friendly? This obviously is for friendzone Zevran (I know where it triggers in a romance). I thought it was 91+ friendly, but just had a dialog trigger with Leliana at 81+ Friendly, so now I'm unsure. *sigh* I suppose I should just breakup with him on my one character I know has not gotten the talk yet, but has all his gifts, but that makes me so sad.

Edit: Ok, testing the breakups.  It does trigger earlier than I thought.  Maybe at 81+  Maybe at 75+.  Will find out soon!

Second edit: Ok, he will tell it at +76 (Friendly).  *sigh* Three breakups to find out exactly where the threshold was.  Ugh.

 @Charsen's mods: I've installed ZevringDT+. It works excellent. I tested Leliana kiss anywhere if interested (though I assumed it's not issue anymore) - no problem.
Second erring offer is major squee. :wub: Thanks! If you somehow end up homeless in europe we will adopt you and take home! 

I will eventually try ZevranASAP, but that is longer way to go for new char.

I can try that with my first rogue playthrough for you. I romanced Alistair in that game and wasn't aware of the great Zev romance at that time. I'll post the outcome in a minute..

Edit: Very smart to edit your post right after my response. :P

Awww, thank you for offering though.  It's at +76 (Friendly).  It took a few breakups to figure it out.  Ouch.  Those are bad, even at "care."

Now I must test Charsen's mod with a character who hasn't been to the tent with Zevran beforehand!

Newly minted at the Nexus! I also officially made the ZevranASAP mod a final release since there were no bug reports in a week of 300 downloads. 
^_^

Let's see... now what to do? Oh yes, make the item into something people can wear... *toolset*

OMG I actually got it to work!  Zevran needs to level up before he can wear it... can't wait.  Zevran in black is too sexy for words.

I should pay you guys for technical support.  Most have probably seen this because it widely circulated the internet, but I am so that guy.  The IT guy at work hides when he sees me coming.  Thank you!!

Once you go black... no, too easy.

@Charsen, you do realize you're starting to get more popular with us than Zevran, right? xD
