Merrill as a companion? That means we'll have two elven mages, Bethany and possibly Anders? Even if the speculation about Anders proves to be wrong, two elves of the same class is a bit to much.

In DA:O, the only temporary companions were in the origins. In DA II, two temporaries are Bethany or Carver.

I found a new preview with several new spoilers in the German gaming magazine PCGames. So be warned if you read on spoilers ahead.

Harmeless ones: Hawke´s mother´s first name is Leandra and Aveline´s last name is Vallen.

Gameplay: There are three mage specialisations: Force (more damage), Spirit healer ( more mana) and Bloodmage ( more health).

Companions: Fenris ia a mage and not a rouge or warrior as the community assumes.
                          Merrill from the Dalish Origin will be a companion.



See, I believed this until you have: "Fenris is a mage and not a rogue or warrior as the community assumes". Ser Gaider himself has said Fenris is NOT a mage and has pretty much said Fenris is a two-handed warrior.

When and where ? The only thing Ser Gaider confirmed in the Fenris thread is that Fenris is not a sword and shield warrior.

Yes, since the article is publicly available you may discuss him.

He's not a Dalish elf.

He's not a mage.

You will see. Eventually. Image IPB

Perhaps Gaider was being tricksy and saying he's not a "mage" in the sense that people in Thedas are born with magic, but he can cast magic anyway thanks to the experiments which left glowing lyrium runes on his skin.

Man, now I need to find the quote to see if he worded carefully and everything.

Mind you, he did basically say he was a two handed weapon wielder too.


Maybe his specialization (like Isabela's Swashbuckler) is about being a spellsword with that 2-hander. :wizard:

And this is where Gaider said he's not a mage. He doesn't elaborate much.

I forgot. You are right. We'll just have to see what the "Ostagar" level in DA II is. Maybe it's with the Dalish tribe, but maybe not.

She sounds permanent. After the quest with Flemeth´s amulet is resolved, the keeper Marethari even pushes her to leave the clan and to relocate to Kirkwall.
And regarding the question about the gamestar article.: That is just a translation of what Mr. Gaider said in one of the s/s-romance threads. They also mention the four revealed companions and Fenris gets mentioned as the elven mage Fenris.

Merrill from the Dalish Origin will be a companion.


I suspected she would be ever since David Gaider said the Dalish Warden's clan relocated to the Free Marches after fleeing the Blight.

Edit: Ninjad


Double Edit: I hate to be that guy, but I wonder if she will be romancable?

Plus, just because they did something with companions one way in DAO doesn't mean they will in DA2.

The different origins demanded temporary companions or balancing around no companions at all. There is only one origin this time.

i really dont think so. i could imagine it to be lothering tough, technically ostagar was the first level, origin storys excluded.

I don't really get why they would bother with Merrill, she didn't have a personality to speak of.

I guess she's just convenient.

Ohhh myy goossshh!! It all makes sense now!

There is a image of Flemeth saying to deliver an amulet to the elf origin clan's leader (Marethi? Something like that. I saw the image once or twice and I never played the Dalish Elf Origin)

This is where you will recruit Merril! Ah-ha!!

They could give her any one they want then?  Granted, I only played the Dalish origin once - a year ago - and barely remember it at all.  I definitely had to look Merrill up.

I reaaaaaaaaaaaally want a male mage this time! (Not Fenris.) I hated being stuck with Wynne and Morrigan or nothing when I didn't play as a mage in DA:O.

I meant that they could have created an entirely new companion for all that it mattered.

And it is not a 2-handed sword either. So 99% sword and shield warrior.


The 1% wins out, I guess.

For pedantries sake.

I suppose that leaves rogues too, technically.
