Description Was anybody else super sad about how Alistair and Zevran looked in the second one? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the game! But I was a bit disappointed in how my favorite characters looked...

Alistair isn't THAT bad looking. But Zevran... Good lord....

God, this sums up everything I was thinking when I got to those parts of the game. WHY, BIOWARE, WHY?!?!

But in all honesty, Alistair could've looked worse, right? But Zevran...Dear Gods, the Maker finally punished him for his sins, didn't he?

Still, I like to count myself lucky these two and all the others even made cameos at all.

A lot of people thought that Zevran was fugly in the first game (I thought he was distinctly handsome, mind you), but his original appearance had character that the DA2 one lacks. And don't even get me started on Alistair. D:

Zevran looks hideous I'll admit. But I have nothing against Alistair's new look...It's different, but he still looks basically the same...sort of.

10 years being a goddamn king of a country who was literally dying and is now just barely getting back on its feet with rumors of neighbors going to war against you RAPES YOUR age.

Just look at any president who has been in office for 4 years, much less 8, even the ones living in peacetime!

Also Zev and every other elf got a make over.

Why do people keep whining about this I don't even know.

Totally disappointed. Stopped playing for a couple of days after seeing Alistair.


Just kidding. It was 10% of the reason, the rest was because I was working on some fanart.

Yikes!

That's really sad! I will do my best when playing II to ignore the second verse's versions of Alistair and Zevran and mentally insert the previous game ones.

Alistair's change over is bad, but not so terrible that I cringe. The changes don't take him out of the realm of being recognizably Alistair.

Zevran on the other hand....He doesn't even come across as recognizably Zevran!

I understand needing to make Zevran's character conform to the new racial style for elves. But considering how handsome Fenris is, why on Earth did they take lovely Zevran and not go to the trouble to keep him attractive in the translation to new race style configuration. Laziness is all that is. Our new elves are supposed to be more fae looking, not ugly!

miladygrimm [2011-03-27 21:49:00 +0000 UTC]

I know that a lot of people wont agree with me...but I liked how Zevran looked. I love the way they've changed the way the elves look. Suddenly they aren't just slightly shorter humans with pointy ears. They are faeish creatures with their own unique look.

Yeah we got used to Zev looking a certain way but he is their character.

As for Alistair I have to think that he had to look a little different, Slaying an archdemon and all tends to change you. While I'm not entirely happy with it I wont complain all that much.

When I saw DA2 Zev, this was my reaction:

"Oh my god, what did you do to his FACE?!"

Random-Dragon [2011-03-27 21:21:31 +0000 UTC]

DA2 Alistair looks creepy. His stubble is too dark, and they messed with his face structure too, for some reason. And don't get me started on DA2 Zev...
My theory is that Bioware lured all the DAO characters (except Cullen, he looks less creepy in DA2) that we love into a dark, dark alley, and beat them about the head and chest with large clubs made from the wood of the Ugly Tree, so that the new LI's would look better in comparison.
Y U DO THAT, BIOWARE?!

No, you're hardly alone. I CRINGED when I saw Zevran. |D (Admittedly, I barely noticed Alistair. Put it off to him being older. XD)

DOWModder [2011-03-27 21:15:13 +0000 UTC]

Well - Alistair was always idiot, so he doesn`t cunt... As for Zevran - I agree, but well atleast he kept his mood and good humor!
P.S. I`d hate to see what they did to Morrigan...

Yukira-Hotoshi In reply to DOWModder [2011-03-27 21:42:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, since (in my opinion) they managed to make Leliana look pretty, I don't think they'd have done too badly on Morrigan.

I think they just screwed up on Alistair and Zevran to be honest. I mean look at Nathaniel's cameo. He looks barely any different from Awakening.

AzureMosquito [2011-03-27 21:11:37 +0000 UTC]

I don't think Alistair looked that different, but Zevran was a dramatic change. Guess they were trying to morph him into the new elven design. I know a lot of people didn't like the new elves, but I thought they were really beautiful. It just didn't work when we were already used to Zevran looking one way...

Meteora731 [2011-03-24 03:39:32 +0000 UTC]

They definitely could have done a better job. I am sad about the lack of mods for console, because I'm sure someone will fix this. Still, c'mon Bio, Nate and Leliana looked fine, WTF happen HERE?

DeathByRamen93 [2011-03-22 16:49:44 +0000 UTC]

I was so angry when I saw Zevran, he kept hitting on me and slept with Isabela even though he was with my character in the first game, and the only time he acknowledged that they were together is when he was talking about the threesome with Isabela. WTF?????

cottoncandyhead [2011-03-22 08:17:14 +0000 UTC]

I was appalled when I saw gameplay, and read up on the storyline. I refuse to buy the game. I deny its existence other than to bash it for its lack of solid writing, and shittastic graphics.

No, they raped them with the ugly tree. Repeatedly. And invited all the tree's family. And forgot the lube.

Zevran looks so BAD! Like totally ug~ly in DA2 :<. It's just that his head is too narrow T_T.
Leliana still looks good anyway , I wonder what our Sten looks like too (not the sten's that we fight on the other side).

Anarnaxe [2011-03-22 02:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Aww, Alistair got older, and apparently ate all the pies in Denerim. While Zevran fell out of the ugly tree and hit several branches on the way down (and then it seems got laser surgery to get rid of his tattoos...)

Its kinda funny that the only Origins companion that looks better in DA2 is Leliana but then its not much of an improvement. (But if they touch Morrigan, I'm handing out torches and pitchforks and marching on Canada!)

He has his tattoos. When he's talking you can see them clearly as he twists his head to the side, in a very awkward fashion. But he still has them.

Anarnaxe In reply to cottoncandyhead [2011-03-22 12:42:37 +0000 UTC]

But you haven't denied that he looks like he's gone 15 rounds head butting a brick wall.

cottoncandyhead In reply to Anarnaxe [2011-03-23 04:40:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh there is no way I'd deny that. He also looks like a swarm of killer bees got him and he needs an epi-shot stat, before he keels over dead because of the swelling.
