In other news, stealing is problematic and you have to respect le other cultures:

Zevran was fun because he's insane. Insane in the every type of bondage he's done way. Plus honestly his banter with Oghren was funny specifically being one giant LOTR reference.

Origin's spiritual successor BG3 had their pretty boy elf companion pull a knife on you too.
And not surprisingly he and Zevran both have a tonne of fanfic on AO3 because there's nothing nerdy girls love more than a damaged digital badboy they think they can reform.

At least bad games may be fun to laugh at, but this one is just dull, dull, dull.

Yes, I don't plan to get it, and I'm someone who actually enjoyed Outer Rims, so my tolerance for wokeshit is already pretty high.

Sheer laziness, it's insulting how they wear the corpse of the DA brand.

Except the childlike bodied dwarf companion, despite a beard perhaps actually fitting her species.

Cause you're curious or you're playing the retarded good alignment. I sometimes do it in RPGs it fun.
 
I am having so much fun comboing fireball, cone of cold, and walking bomb to explode, trap, and explode my enemies again.

As long as the dude did it for money rather than personal reasons it's not too ridiculous, though I'd wait a bit before allowing him into the camp.

doing it for the money just means your rich enemies can buy him out at any moment, of which you are one poor fuck for the majority of the game until you're looting sovereigns from gold names

The romantic ideal is that the assassin is honor bound enough to not kill someone who spared his life. Especially as it's not too clear if the original employers would have let the assassin live afterwards. It's not entirely unrealistic but pretty rare for modern dark and edgy Fantasy literature where seemingly everybody betrays one another constantly without any social penalty.

Zevran reveals after some increased affinity that he isn't THAT committed to being an assassin, as much as he enjoys it, as he's forced into it due to the obligatory tragic background story. It is rather blatantly hinted that he has some kind of death wish due to some kind of depression that lurks beneath his facade. In other words, he's the Brooding Bad Boy with Hidden Hurt trope, only he's more joke-y than broody.

Gameplay-wise, however, one doesn't lose much by not having him around. His default skill distribution is all over the place and you have to invest time to build him up properly. By the time you recruit him, chances are your Leliana and/or Rogue Warden are already a far better rogue than him. He's only needed to trigger his personal quest, if you really want to bang an elf, or if you want to have a foursome with him, Leliana/Alistair, and Isabela in The Pearl.

Because it would make Anders seethe and doing so makes me laugh.

The Templars do have some kickass plate armor, especially with that fancy skirt of theirs.

Definitely, I have always been a sucker for outfits that mix both some kind of robe-esque attire with armor and the Templar armor is one of my favorite examples of it, but the mage version of Hawke's mantle of the champion set will always take the cake for me.

Nah fuck that bitch, dead on the spot every single run. I refuse to take her in my party, especially considering her reason for trying to kill me in the first place isn't even good and she's a huge cunt to boot.

One day I will take her along just for the sake of completionism, but from an RP perspective there is zero fucking chance that I don't end her on the spot.

edit: oh fuck lmao for some reason i thought you were talking about original sin 2

Sebille is really fucking weird yeah, from licking you and telling you you thought of the last time you banged to almost sticking you with a needle..

Zevran the other elven assassin tries to kill you and failing that he reveals his guild would kill him for failing the first time so fuck em, he's pretty fun
 
I still havent forgotten how they massacred Qunari designs. They peaked at DA2 when they were actually intimidating and an actual threat. Nowadays they are just humans with horns.
