📋 About This Mod
So, let's face it: there's something wrong with DA2 Zevran. Namely, it isn't really Zevran. Where's the "high cheekbones and pouty lips" that he mentions? Where are his eyebrows? Where is that beautiful Antivan elf that we know and love?
In the game! Or, at least, he WAS. Once. Before Bioware scrapped it.
Long story short: Bioware made a better Zev facemorph, hid it in the game files, then inexplicably used a really terrible morph instead. I was lucky enough to find it, and I've put him back where he belongs. He didn't originally have the correct skin, eye, and eyebrow colors, nor the right tattoo, but his face itself was far, far closer to perfect than anything I've ever seen in terms of Zev mods.
So, knowing that the real Zev existed somewhere in DA2's files, I figured I had a responsibility to make him usable again. Hence the "official-ish" title - the original morph is Bioware's work! I'm just here to bring this (necessary) fix to all of you, for full Zevran goodness.
Installation: just download the .zip file, then unzip it and put the folder in your override directory (Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age 2/packages/core/override). The file uses a custom skin tone from Natural Skin by Veridical in order for Zev to look like his old self. Natural Skin is already packaged in the mod, thanks to the creator's generosity.
Download and enjoy!
