I can't believe no one figured it out, it's obvious Bioware is rewarding its fans with a foot fetish , Merrill's romance scene is gonna be hot feet sex.

The other screenshots in the mag:





Click on them to see in higher detail, also let's keep this thread about Merrill, if anyone wants to discuss these screenshots you're welcome to post them in a new thread (sorry ankuu for taking so long )

Maybe that's a way we can get rid of "Anders", Merrill "accidentally" turns him into ash.

You do realise, as soon as someone from BioWare's art department sees that they're going to spend the rest of the day watching it instead of working right?

Also, how do you embed youtube videos here? I never worked it out <_<

Lol, or maybe she slaps his ass with a desire demon while he's in the fade, that way we at least know that he's happy

Well now they know that their art decisions have consequences 

as to youtube videos, copy the embed code and click BBCode in the editor then paste it.

Considering what might get squished between your toes on the streets of a medieval(ish) city, you might want to rethink that.

I keep thinking of this, the fact that you're going to be visiting the Kirkwall sewers, and the thickness of callus on people who've never worn shoes, and am sort of grossed out by elf feet now.

"C'mon Mister Fish, I feel as if you and I are normally on the same page.
Follow that reasoning too far and we'll all be abandoning our
"unnecessary" footwear. I do quite a bit of camping, canoeing,
backpacking and I am saddened to inform you that there are sticks in
forests, rocks in rivers, and that even walking barefoot on gravel is
far from enjoyable. I've found shoes to be an impressive technological
breakthrough in the prevention of stubbed toes, gashed feet and
(potentially more vitally) snake-bites for example. Their development
would seem a worthwhile investment for any enterprising society."

As do I Mr Ben.  I know all about hiking and back packing.  If a person trundles along as most of us doe not worrying where we step and with soft pink babified soles of our feet it hurts to step on rocks and twigs. 

Take:
- A person that is very used to travelling in the woods.
- A person that actively looks for the best places to walk.
- A person that hasn't worn hiking boots and thus has toughened up calloused feet.
- A potential dislike for shoes and the people that wear them

All of this adds up to a viable reason to not wear shoes.  By the reasoning above we should be wearing shoes all the time in the house, on the beach on the grass in the back yard.

You can believe it or not but some people think it's better to go barefoot than otherwise for a variety of reasons.

Now you yourself can declare.  "One must wear shoes in the wilderness!"  But that doesn't mean it's out of the realm of reality that others would differ in this regard.

Well, a triviality can still be ridiculous, and I have to agree with yukidama that this would appear to qualify. If this sort of design decision is a consequence of a singular companion outfit than I would score one for the opposition (Companion specific clothing is fine by me, but the idea that the choice was between complete variation and a single outfit always struck me as an obviously false dichotomy. Design multiple outfits per character (I'm aware that it was in all likelihood a resource decision, especially as it pertains to cinematics, but that was not the reasoning put forward)). By placing the onus for clothing selection on the developers, the implementations put forth would seem to be more fairly open to criticism.

Or people could get over the notion that they need to choose their companion's outfits in addition to their own. Really, I just think people like to obsess. The fact that you could change companion outfits in DAO didn't stop anyone from nit-picking over their appearance or whipping up alternate appearance mods to suit.

True. For things such as that there's always TexMod (assuming it works with DA2).

That or as long as there's still an override folder, it may well be possible to do something that way.

@Drizzt ORierdan - Why would you butcher Merrill like that?

Epic win.  I really like the whole shoeless elves idea

To be fair, I never said need I merely saw an opportunity within the current discussion to state (yes,) a preference for some degree of customization in that regard. Also, I wanted to raise the point that there existed a compromise solution if Bioware chose to pursue it. I haven't followed that debate particularly closely, but what I've seen seemed to somehow overlook that possibility.

I was never much bothered by say the single slot outfit style of The Witcher, but the appearance of that outfit did change as superior armor was obtained (I assume this will still be the case in DA2 (upgraded companion armor I mean), but the model will remain the same). I find an aesthetic change to be a nice reflection of improvement.

Mostly, I just felt compelled to tweak those suggesting that an existence without footwear was in any way practical.

I don't mind the shoeless elves. Although it will be nice if someone of the art development team explain why they don't like elves with shoes.

This, I don't mind them as well, in fact I like them but would like to know what inspired this decision and if it has a reason within the lore.
