Zev is funny, relaxed, great fighter (if you know how to play rogue). Of all the companions, I found him to be the most agreeable. He doesn't pick fights with others, except for the group prank on Morrigan. I am glad he was added, Morri, Al and Leli can don't know themselves, he seems to have a better sense of self and stability.



If you are not going to be his friend, kill him.

[Skadi_the_Evil_Elf]

I adore Zev, whether I'm romancing him or not. Not only is he an amusing companion to have, he's efficient in killing things if you haveany clue on how to set up a rogue for fighting. Paired with Alistair with complentary tactics, half the time I can leave the game to get a drink and come back to find they killed everything.



So what if he tries to kill you when you first meet him? Just makes the sex all the more interesting later

Of all the great companions in this game, I think Zevran is actually my favourite. I just can't seem to be able to not take him with me - he's too hilarious to stand in camp. I love his comments and banter, and so far I've also enjoyed his romance the most.

He's witty, clever and I even like his bragging. He does remind me a little of Spike from BtVS (my alltime favourite fictional character), he has the same vulnerability behind the bravado. And he's also a rather practical hedonist, like Spike often was before the soul.

Well if you go deep in friendship or even love with Zevran you learn a lot about him and his last mission



*SPOILER*



Zevran loved a GIRL .. But some conspiracy made him kill her , thinking she was a traitor and used him.The assasin his actually one of his close friend when he was with the antiva Crow.



His mission to kill you was actually a *suicide mission* .. He wanted to DIE .. Because he felt a lot of remorse to kill his beloved the way he did.Don't judge him too fast.

I'd rather not be told exactly what this is, but how do I go about seeing it? This is the first I've heard of such a prank.

My only real problem with Zevran is that he *doesn't start out with lockpicking* - despite that being one of the things he claims to be skilled at - which is really, really annoying. I wish the game had just let us spec all NPCs from the ground up when we received them, regardless of level.

I like Zev. He reminds me of Jack Harkness from Doctor Who. No, not just because he'll have sex with anyone that breathes; his irreverent adventuruous and fun attitude is similar too.

[Jisai]

You actually let 'Zev' join your ranks?

I understand and on ocassion agree with second chances, but he is an assassin...
He TRIED to kill you and you want him to join you so he can poison your food (as Morrigan so obviously pointed out) and slit your throat as you slumber   ...really?

He could have told you any sob story to get you to feel bad about him, and take him in like a 'cast-off' puppy to gain your sympathy and trust for a second attempt. Friends close, enemies closer sound familiar to you?

Oh, and Sten... yea i'd pick him RIGHT up....

Well let's see my party consists of an evil witch, an abomination, a psychotic golem that killed it's previous master, a mass murderor and a spy/thief.

Is an assassin really that bad of an addition?

Hah. You're making me wish that he had just come back to life if you chose to slit his throat.

Though, it's funny, since despite having not considered that comparison before... I was planning on embarking on a Mage playthrough in which the protagonist will be "The Doctor in Ferelden". Except he gets people to call him "The Warden".

I guess Zev is going to be one of his more frequent companions, now.

Yaaa, that was one of my favorite parts of Mass Effect. You were given x number of skills and whatnot to level the character when you got them.

I killed him the first time, I realise that he's a potential follower and a potentially good one but- who in their right mind accepts a dude thats hired to kill them into their party? In the RL there is zero percent I take a chance on that. One of the few times ever playing games I let real life opinion creep into the game. It just really pissed me off for some reason. This damn game is to immersing.

Because he's an assassin that Loghain hired to kill you and Allistair.  That says something about his talent.  He's an assassin, and he's probably the most sought after assassin.  The dialogue options give you the answer.  You're in desperate need of allies who can kill things and here this one guy comes, ready made, willing to help if you will spare his life.

The one part Bioware screwed up on was not offering a dialogue option where I can pay him more money that he makes in the Crows when he turns on you.  I mean, I hadn't talked to the guy at all, so it wasn't all that surprising to me when he turned on me, but come on.  I believed him when he said he wasn't loyal to the Crows.  He's a hired hand.  Why can't I just simply offer him more to help defend my life?  It would make sense.  And at that point in the game I was sitting on 90 sovereigns so something tells me I could afford whatever his asking price could possibly be.  I mean screw it, where was the dialogue option, "don't be stupid Zevran.  You've seen how skilled I am.  I'll give you 20 sovereigns to help me dispose of this idiot and if you help me get rid of the Archdemon I'll help make sure the Crows have a new leader in a year."

Yes, this was actually the final reason I decided to download the respec mod.  Made no sense to have a braggart who had no skill to back up his words.

[The Angry One]

I don't think Zevran is for sale in that regard. The only reason he joins you in the first place is to mitigate the eventual wrath of the Crows for his failure.

Given an opportunity to make good with the Crows without any particular reason to be loyal to you, he'd take it, money isn't the issue.

Ehhh, why not? So what? You're mission is not to spread sunshine and peace. You have to kill things, and people, and frankly, you need all the help you can get. Zev is pretty good at killing things. And if your character is competant and smart enough, it's unlikely the threat of Zevran succeeding in a second attempt is a big one.

I'm not gonna hold it against someone if they try to kill me, as long as they have a good reason. Getting paid to commit suicide is as good a reason as any.

Zevran tells you that he does not receive any payment personally to assassinate you.  I'm not sure if this is the way the Crows normally operate, but Zevran would only receive benefits from the Crows, not from Loghain directly.

[The Angry One]

According to Zev's dialog I think it is how the Crows do things. Money for contracts goes to the Crow cell leader. The assassins themselves are given a salary, rank and fringe benefits.

I'd much rather have the PC version, in truth, but... meh, I'm going to wait until I can afford a PC that can run it at maximum awesome. Years from now.

It's really going to take you years to save up $500?

[Tyrias Greysong]

Well. I don't understand these character hate pages. "Loghain is evil." "Alistair is annoying." etc, etc, etc. You may not like a character, you don't really need to yell it around to simply slit his throat.

[Pellegrin]

I was pissed when Zevran betrayed me...even though he wasn't part of my main party.

But I liked Dragon Age more for it.

Alas:

1) I'm English, so I don't use that currency
2) I'm English, so stuff is more expensive here
3) I'm a student, which makes me poor (more so, since I went on to postgrad)
4) I'm incapable of building my own PC

I think 4 is the biggest problem. That'd instantly make everything cheaper.

It's probably not as hard for me to manage as I'm making out, granted, but it'd take more effort than I can be bothered with.

Well, he was just doing his job (although technically, taking the contract to kill you was kind of his attempt to commit suicide by Warden - refer to story about his last assignment if you ever get him to talk about it). Can't blame a guy for trying anyway - his betrayal depends entirely upon whether or not you behave like a jerk or a nice person (same with the other companions). *shrug*

[GmanFresh]

if you dont talk to him he leaves doink
