Zevring

Update
Version 1.4 is out!
- Works with Awakening
- Dialogue Tweaks Compatible versions available
- You now get a different ring depending on whether you accepted it first or accepted it later as a token of affection
- Your ring depends on your class, if you are a Warrior/Rogue/Mage you get a different ring determined by dialogue. No more worrying about uti files!!
- Adds the kiss back in, but ONLY if you successfully get the token of affection. =)

What does this mod do?
If you romance Zevran, you eventually get offered an earring as a gift. If you turn it down, he might offer it again as a token of affection. However, you only actually get the ring if you accept it the first time. This mod fixes that problem and gives you the ring on the second offering as well. The rings now are wearable and have stats according to your class.


FAQ
When can I install the mod?
As long as you install the mod before you have the discussion about the earring the second time, it will be fine. It does not, however, retroactively give you the ring (yet). I may do this in the future.

Why did you pick those bonuses for the rings?
I thought that Zevran gives your character strength and will to fight, that he makes your Warden want to keep going (stamina/willpower), and that Zevran himself would have worn a ring that helped him in his line of work. If you have better suggestions, by all means, let me know!

Installation
* If you use Dialogue Tweaks as a DAZip:
-----> Use my .Override file, or dump my manual file version into your packages/override/ folder.

* If you use Dialogue Tweaks and it is manually installed:
-----> copy the all of my files to the Dialogue Tweaks folder and overwrite DT's zevran_main.dlg


* If you do not use Dialogue Tweaks:
-----> Copy the all of my manual files to:
Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/packages/core/override
-----> OR Use my .Override version
-----> OR Use the DAZip

No Dazip for Dialogue Tweaks?
- Sorry, not for the dialogue tweaks version because I want to overwrite part of the DT dazip. After discussing it with Vaire, I found out that the best way to do this is to actually use the override folder, since anything there will override what's in the AddIns.

- While I could make a Dazip including Vaire's work, I am not comfortable with repackaging other's work and I also don't think that's a good way to maintain long-term compatibility. Long story short, no Dazip for DT compatibility, but this is the best way to do it!

What earring?
I will refer you to the excellent FAQ about Zevran romances by Ejoslin, since I could never explain it any better!

How do I get the token of affection?!
Here, again, I will refer you to Ejoslin's wonderful FAQ on Zevran! All you need to know about Zevran's romance, including the token of affection, is here! =)

Do I need Dialogue Tweaks? Should I use DT?
Well, Dialogue Tweaks is perhaps one of the most essential mods for the game, in my humble opinion. But you be the judge and see for yourself.

Recommended Zevran Mods:
ZevranASAP: Get Zevran earlier!
Ejoslin's Gates Dialog Fix: Fixes the broken dialogue at the end of the game so you can get his "in love" dialogue instead of his "friendship" dialogue!

Thanks!!
* Thanks to Vaire for making the amazing Dialogue Tweaks mod and for helping me with compatibility & distribution questions on my own mod. =)
* Special thanks to my beta testers Cuddlezarro, Eislyn, Ejoslin, Minaleth, Ramante, sami jo and Sabriana from the "What's the (Romantic) appeal of Zevran" thread at the bioware social site!
