I hope he was joking.  Posted Image


This is the question asked to Gaider:


2. Will Fenris ever wear shoes?


No. The artists have this thing about elves and shoes. Don't get me started.


He was referring to Fenris, but probably it means for at least a lot of elves

Holy ****.  Posted Image  And we can't change their outfit, either.  I suppose we should be glad they didn't add little wings on their shoulders.

Going back to the shoes... In that screenshot where some of us claimed to see Merrill in the background, she looked knida shoeless...

The  drawing was made by Aristorum, a regular poster in the Fenris thread. She's a great artist I think. Most of  her work revolves around Fenris and Ladyhawke.

@Drizzt ORierdan: Merrill and Fenris are gonna be rivals, no question about it, the art is amazing although it doesn't show Merrill's tattoos which I'd say are one of her most defining traits.

No question the drawing was made thinking more about Fenris than Merrill...:P

Or the drawing was made very quickly and without attention to detail. The whole thing was made without references and I didn't want to butcher either of their tattoos. 
Pardon me for appreciating Merrill's doe eyes more than some ink on her skin. :|

 @Drizzt ORierdan: So true, still an awesome piece of art though :devil:

So guys let's take guesses about Merrill's relationship with the other companions we know of sor far:

Aveline: Rivarly - her husband was a templar who hunts apostates and possibly maleficars and Merrill is both...

Varric: Friendship (maybe?) - Let's see, Varric is a surface dwarf, so he can't go to Orzammar and though he leads a good life in the surface he might miss the home he never had... Merrill is a dalish elf who clearly like all the dalish wants to reclaim their homeland and wants to be recognized as a respectable race in Thedas.

Isabella: possible rivarly - depending on Hawke :whistle:

Fenris: Rivalry - Fenris was experimented on by a tevinter mage who most likely used blood magic so I guess being of the same race won't help so much this time as Fenris will have an aversion to the power Merrill possesses through blood magic OR Fenris might be open minded regarding this and sees blood magic as a weapon to be utilized instead of a forbidden art to be buried.

^^ This is solely based on the other companions' personalities as we know nothing of Merrill's yet :-)

Aveline: probably rivarly for the reason ViseirA posted. Although we know nothing about Aveline's opinion about magic and mages (and dalish).
Fenris: rivarly. He will probably have problems with blood magics and mage due to his experience.
Varric: don't know. We don't know if Varric misses Orzammar.
Isabela: No clue. Isabela howewer doesn't seem to me a person who cares about blood magic, or that has problems with elves.
If the 6th companion is Anders: they will probably get along. THey've already shown a relationship between Anders and a Keeper's apprentice exiled (Merrill we don't know if she's exiled, but it's a possibility). Another elf who threats Anders like an idiot will be cliche. Plus Merrill will have problem in Kirkwall due of her apostate-maleficar status, Anders will probably simpathize with her (both if he's Grey Warden or apostate himself)

Yes we do. "and there seems to be some uneasiness between her and Bethany caused by the latter being a mage. " Got that form the wiki. I'm pretty sure the devs have said that as well, but I don't have a link to the quote.

Fenris: rivarly. He will probably have problems with blood magics and mage due to his experience.
Varric: don't know. We don't know if Varric misses Orzammar.

And he's a Maleficar.... Well in my file anyway lol^_^

About Aveline, I wasn't sure if it was Aveline or Wesley who have problems with Bethany. Thanks for clarifying for me:)

Makes sense with Fenris, if I felt a pain whenever something touched me even if it's as negligable as a sunburn I wouldn't want wear shoes.

The fact that Aveline hate mages will lead me to think that it will be difficult that Aveline is a LI. Maybe she can be an exclusive rivarly romance, but I'm not sure if there will be an exclusvie rivarly or friendship romance. Someone mentioned this cases, but I don't know if it was a dev.

yeah, lol

As for Isabella, if Hawke is a lady, Merrill wont be problably an availabe LI, so they have more chances to become friends.

As for Varric, he's a shady character from Kirkwall's underworld, he doesnt know nor has any relation, memory, longings for the Dwarven Thaigs... But he might ve been himself involved in business with trading elves as slaves or smthg in those lines, that could be trouble... :bandit:

Exclusive rivalry romances? I don't know it's kinda a stretch no? I mean in the end you either agree with the companion and that leads to romance or you have rivalry which leads to them accepting your opinion and then we get the romance only another way... I think of them as two different roads for the same destination.

Yeah but he's wearing armor and stuff?  Posted Image  And I would think you'd be in more pain barefoot?

Is it really true that he's in pain from being touched?  I recall seeing that he doesn't like to be.

You know, he's the only companion so far that we know is forced, he narrates the story so he is a companion and we can't tell him to go away or something, if he does anything to upset Merrill however I'm gonna tear his guts out :bandit:

@Addai67: Gaider said it's not too painful and it doesn't have that much significance anyway.

I think that too, but I don't remember when someone said that there are exclusive rivarly romance.....I guess he/she was uncorrect.

I think that's what Bioware mean, both roads lead to Rome-ance.

I really hope that all of the elves in DA2 wear shoes (it'd feel weird for me), except for Fenris, and he has clawed feet instead. That'd be cool, and it'd surely make him a popular companion, not that he isn't already! I haven't really looked at his thread, so I only know he's got clawed hands and has lots pages to his thread. Plus there's that awesome comic of all the characters with a big fan-girl base from Origins ganging up on him and feeding him to them.
:lol:
