📋 About This Mod

A series of Zevran-centric banter cutscenes I've created over the years.

Finally, I'm publishing this mod.

It started with my old Zev video (almost 8?!) years ago when I made some simple cutscenes of his banter.

I decided to add them into my game and worked on it off and on.

At this point, I've completed 15 cutscenes.

I had planned to upload this as a mod years ago, but I got lazy fixing the issues with sound and animation glitches.

I have more scenes I'm working on creating, but I could create cutscenes forever, so I'm releasing what I have so far.

I don't recommend this for your evil Wardens. There won't be a lot of scenes available.

It won't hurt to keep it installed but it won't feel immersive.

It works best when you recruit your mabari and all available companions.

And in a game where you're roleplaying good relationships with each other.

You don't need The Stone Prisoner DLC or to recruit Shale to use this.

If you don't have Shale as a companion, all that happens is that Shale's banter scene won't appear on the list.

The cutscenes are friendly and flirty, typical Zevran.

None are based on you being in a romantic relationship with Zevran.

I'm considering adding some of the romance banter. I don't know.

For now, you can use my Zevran romance mod if you'd like. It has one banter cutscene in it.

Some scenes are the same banter you hear when you're running around in the game, and some are ones I've spliced together from multiple dialogues or a combination of two or three conversations.

You can install this at any point in your game.

Choose the dazip file to install with the DAUpdater.

Choose the override file to install with Altorian's DAO Mod Manager.

Choose the loose files version to drop into your override.

If you use Vortex, I don't use it for DAO and can't provide support for that mod manager.

Use whatever file will work for it.

To play the mod, find the Spicy Antivan Poetry book in camp.

Images has a screenshot of where it is in camp.

It won't appear until you recruit Zevran and develop a relationship with him.
