“Zevran is not a loyal type” “I don’t romance Zevran, he’d cheat on my Warden” “Zevran only wants sex”
excuse me but have you ever done the ultimate sacrifice while romancing him? i recommend you do it because it will not only break your heart but prove that Zevran remained faithful to his beloved even after they died
i’m not saying he lived a chaste life after that but he never loved again dammit
It is heavily implied that he remains chaste. There is actually a bug in 2 in which he is supposed to turn down Hawke/Isabela if he is with the Warden or the Warden died.
And while that makes me really sad that he never loves again, or takes a lover again, it also really says something about him as a person, as he says in the beginning “I happen to be a very loyal person” He is. He is really loyal.
And he doesn’t let himself love. Rinna died and he tried to kill himself by throwing himself at a Grey warden. He knew her for….A mission? Imagine if he had almost a year with your Warden as a partner, one year to tear down the scarred walls again, and he panics and doesn’t know what to do, then gives you the one thing he’s ever treasured, and you die.
I think we have more important issues than the fact that the sex loving Zevran became celibate, he’s a husk if you romance him and die.
This man is utterly destroyed if you convince him to love you, and then leave. It’s different than a breakup, or friendship, so few people have cared about him, that he latches on so strongly to people he cares about, that they literally become all the planets and stars to him. Is it healthy? No. Do you really expect that from a guy raised in a whorehouse, sold, bought and taught to quash all emotion and kill people for money, all the while being most likely tortured to keep him strong? Probably not.
And when it mentions his comrades being held at a distance? He didn’t even allow platonic love, he leaves Alistair and Lelianna and Oghren even, forgets about them, then ruled the crows almost absentmindedly, just a sea of faces that mean nothing, and it’s terrible.
It’s one of the things that I love and hate about Zevran, one, he’s so ridiculously loyal that he self destructs, which, while terrible, is interesting, and the fact that He loves you, so much, so fucking much, that you NEVER need to worry about anything coming between you. After all, even when he wants to die, he goes on, because you wanted him too. And it’s just so sad and beautiful and tragic that I have no idea what to do about it.
People that say Zev is all about sex, or not loyal….I have no idea what game they were playing. And if he won’t ‘cheat’ on the Warden after death, what makes anybody think he’d do so while they lived?
Also another proof of Zevran’s loyalty is if you attempt to romance both him and another LI at the same time. If you are already romancing someone when you get with Zevran he will force you to choose as he states he’s no ‘cheat’. The same thing happens the other way round if you romance him first and someone else later.
Not only that but if you import a DA:O game with a romanced Zevran you learn that he is with your warden. He never becomes a warden himself and he is still with your warden after 10 years helping them stop the Calling. How is that not love and loyalty and devotion?
