I've been thinking I need to roll a male Inquisitor to try out Dorian's romance, but haven't been able to settle on a specific race/class/personality. Now with that picture you have me wondering two things: 1) How much would I have to pay someone to make a mod to replace whatever the most-underused-by-NPC vallaslin with Zev's tattoo? 2) How many companions could Inquisitor Zevran sleep with before settling down with Dorian? (I know he can't be romanced with a male Inquisitor, at least not without a mod, but oh the fun Zevran would have teasing Cullen especially, lol - how far into flirting with Cullen can you get before he catches on a turns you down?)

I'm afraid I don't know the answers to your questions, but Zevran x Dorian would be so great, probably the only elf I'd actually like seeing Dorian with. 😎 (I may or may not have read a fic.) I've often wondered about Inquisitor Zev. Could you imagine..? He'd use Leliana for all the war table missions, he'd romance Bull/Dorian/Josephine/Cassandra, he'd duel Otranto even if he wasn't romancing Josie (because why not?? It's about ANTIVAN HONOR!!1), and he'd have the beeesst time playing pranks with Sera. Hmm, sounds like it's about time to update this thread...

Okay, so he can do with some tweaking and the obvious tattoo and hair mods.... but the more I think about it the more I realize Inquisitor Zevran needs to be a thing He'd even have the voice actor (yeah it may not be the same voice, but at least it's the same voice actor) - It's meant to be

Hope you're enjoying Inquisitor Zevran, Sokemis On a completely unrelated note, I just posted this in the Morrigan thread. This banter happens if you're sleeping with Zev and Morrigan both. Zevran: [chuckles] I see your friendship with the Grey Warden is going very well. Morrigan: As is yours. Zevran: Ah! Then you know? Morrigan: I am not a fool, if you thought me one. Zevran: I do not think you a fool, my lovely woman. We are not so dissimilar after all. I know what you are doing. Morrigan: And what is it that you think I am doing? Besides the Grey Warden, that is. Zevran: Biding your time, naturally. But for what, I wonder? Morrigan: Why don't you ask him, if you're so curious? Zevran: I doubt that he even knows. I am content to wait and see for myself, however. Morrigan: Then don't bring it up again. Oh Zevran, you're too smart for your own good.

Hope you're enjoying Inquisitor Zevran, Sokemis Yes and no... Haven't made it out of Haven even to the Hinterlands yet - probably going to wait until I get a good tat for him (and add mods to the game in general) before I dive too far in. I am having fun delving into his mind and trying to make choices/conversations as close to how he would. Realized there's not enough general flirtatious conversation choices, lol. He and Varric though do have a running bet on which one of them can get Cassandra to make the most disgusted noises each day I am however remembering why I don't like the dual weapon rogue as much in this game as I did the first two games. Though too be honest, I may not have given them a fair enough chance before...

I feel like Zev is a very versatile love interest. I like the idea of him with all the origins.

During the "Broken Circle", if the Warden wants to help in Greagoir's annulment:
Zevran: I am hardly the person to lecture on the worthier points of human nature, but surely this is a fine time to display the oft-lauded virtue known as mercy? I deserved to die, and you spared me. Why are you so quick to condemn these mages? Warden: You’re a lot better-looking than most of the mages. Zevran: Why, thank you. Flattery would normally distract me, but not today. Inconvenient, no? Warden: You’re saying I made a mistake sparing you? Zevran: (Nervous laughter) Perhaps. But you did it nevertheless, no? Warden: Magic and knives are different. Zevran: Magic can kill. Knives can kill. Even small children launched at great speed could kill. Why single out the wielders of one and not the others? Warden: Mages can do more damage with one spell than you ever could. Zevran: Mm. Touché. I’ve taken the lives of many throughout my career, but this is no measured act. There is no chase, no hunt, no dignity in this… there is only slaughter. Warden: What about the people they might slaughter? Zevran: Might, not will. Committing genocide just because something might happen is more than the mark of a weak mind. It is insanity. Warden: Zevran, you’re a hypocrite. Zevran: Perhaps I am at that, and a thief and a murderer as well. But I looked my victims in the face.

So... it only took me 9 years (and a dozen failed attempts), but I finally got around to romancing Zev. Why did it take me so long, I had no idea his romance was this good!

Yaaaaay, so glad to have a new convert.... err, appreciator. What do you like about Zev's romance? What I liked about the romance was how it cut through all of Zev's bravado and exposed his more vulnerable side.
I got the sense that his upbringing in a brothel and time with the Crows have left Zev with some major issues when it comes to his own self-worth. Several times he seems unsure how to respond when the Warden shows him love or kindness without any ulterior motive behind it, as if he expects to be discarded when he's no longer useful. And like Morrigan, when he realises that the Warden's feelings are genuine and unconditional, he clearly struggles to feel worthy of the attention.
By the way, what Warden and party did others use when romancing him? 'Cause I seriously struggled to find a Warden, class and party composition that worked and would let me keep him permanently in my squad. I gave up my last attempt because I got frustrated having to constantly swap people in-and-out all the time.

And like Morrigan, when he realises that the Warden's feelings are genuine and unconditional, he clearly struggles to feel worthy of the attention. Ahh, my heart! This is so spot-on. Zevran really doesn't know how to respond when you treat him like he matters - not for what he can do for you, but as a person. He flails when you ask him what he thinks and what he wants because he's so used to none of that mattering to anyone. Zevran: He said the Crows knew [about Rinna's fate]... and they didn't care. And one day my turn would come. Warden: So you felt guilty? Zevran: I felt empty. I felt as if I was nothing. I felt as if she had been nothing. You once asked why I wanted to leave the Crows. In truth, what I wanted was to die. What better way than to throw myself at one of the fabled Grey Wardens? Hmmm... I'm used to swapping people in and out so I guess I've never thought of it in utilitarian terms before. I usually romance him with archer rogues which is not the most practical thing! As far as a balanced party goes, I think a good one would be: tank Warden, DW Zev, Morrigan, and either Wynne or Sten (depending on the fight).

I kill Zevran in every pt.
I usually want my Wardens to be smart people, so travelling with a guy who just tried to kill them isn't an option. But maybe I'll finally allow myself the full Zevran experience when I play a city elf, who is supposed to be very young and inexperienced.

But maybe I'll finally allow myself the full Zevran experience when I play a city elf, who is supposed to be very young and inexperienced. Every Warden is young: 17~21, and to execute someone isn't that easy. It's very different than to kill in the heat of the battle. And this is only the start of the game – that wo/man not necessarily that cold-minded veteran murderer. The Circle Mage for example? If hates someone, it just the Templars. S/He not even knows the real world, only from books.
Who executes him not necessarily smarter than the another, who doesn't kill him, probably only fears more.

But the city elf origin mentions how marriage will make them adults, so I can only assume that Tabris is younger than other Wardens. Mahariel already starts with his/her mark of adulthood, so that already makes him/her older by default. Well, you're talking about the morality of killing Zevran. I was rather talking about it in a practical sense.

I was rather talking about it in a practical sense. Not necessarily younger, it depends on who counts as 'adult' in Thedas, and in which culture – the initiation into adulthood can happen at early teen age. But I spoke about the naivety, not the age. A street kid can be 'older' than an 'adult' who lives in an 'ivory tower', or doesn't have real-life experiences. The life in the Circle can be unbearable and cruel, they can't trust anyone, but doesn't have any experience of life outside the tower. And not a murderer/executioner. I didn't talk about morality – I spoke about the psyche. You don't need your practical reason to spare him – only what you need, a character, who able to spare him, and this character not necessarily an idiot/stupid. Perhaps just thinks, Zevran can be useful, or just finds Zevran and his offer interesting, and believes, s/he able to handle the danger. Not everyone that cautious, someone loves the challenges.

FWIW, what's considered adulthood seems to vary widely across Thedas. In city elf culture, you're considered a child until you're married. Among the Dalish, your vallaslin mark you as an adult. Meanwhile in Orzammar the age of majority is fourteen. I think WoT2 says something about qunari becoming soldiers in their early teens, too.
As far as the practicality of killing Zevran goes - your character might remain wary of him, but you need all the help you can get to fight the Blight, and if I'm taking Sten then I'm sure as hell taking Zevran. Same with Leliana "finally admits she's a spy like she's pulling teeth" and Morrigan "y don't we just let them die tho??".
Plus, my Carta dwarves and all my elves are prone to sympathize with him. Probably makes them easy marks, but they're good people.
