Announcing Merrill

And since you were so patient, here is a longer blurb about her background.

The Keepers of the Dalish are the masters of ancient lore and guardians of old secrets. As First, Merrill has been a student of Dalish lore and magic all her life. She can recite all of known elven history and navigate the Fade… but has very little experience with the world or even her own people. She has always held a respected place within her clan, but an isolating one – being Keeper Marethari’s heir kept her just slightly apart from the others.  Forced to flee north to escape from the Blight ravaging Ferelden, Merrill finds her clan in a foreign land, trapped between a bustling city full of humans and a haunted wilderness, and must find help for her people. Whatever the cost.

Awesome.



I love that concept art, shame there aren't any in-game screenshots yet though.

Edit: Heh... good start to the 200th page of this topic

so wait.........the elven mage girl is weariong more armored clothes than the pirate duelist?

what the.......-just sighs-

It's a concept art. If we have to base the companion on the concept art, there is no companion with such an armour, even the warriors (Fenris seems to have a very light armour in the concept art, but it's way better the one he has in the game)

Tis OK, it is the Merrill Appreciation Thread afterall!

[Hekate]

I'm kinda upset here, all the other characters get several screenshots and a concept art, or in Isabela's case a wallpaper. But all we get with Merrill is a concept art that doesn't even look like her. I mean what the hell?

Hopefully they will release more screenshots and such of her later.

Just Bioware keeping the Dalish elves down. You shems are all racist!

But hey, at least we got a reveal. That's something, right?

Perhaps she is an example of a character that visibly ages over the years. She looks more mature in the revealed concept art than she does in the footage we can reasonably infer is earlier in the timeline.

Yay, an official reveal  , someone was in a rush though.... no screenshots?? no problem at least we won't get the "Is Merrill a companion?" kind of posts now

Okay, the description didn't give away much but now we more or less know she isn't exiled or anything which means if true and she's a blood mage that means the Dalish have different views on it.

"It’s a Keeper’s job to remember, even the dangerous things."

From the quote, she seems like the caring, responsible person to me.

In the screen we took from one of the previews her clothes seems a robe, not an armored clothes, I'll try to find it.

This might be really cool.  

 I quite like what we've learned about her.  "Whatever the cost."  

Thank you Chris!!!!

I'm just glad that she got revealed and will probably get some in-game screens  later in the day or tomorrow.

[cyvaris]

Hell yeah, now confirm the romance option.

[SonvarTheMighty]

Glad we have the official reveal now. Now time to wait impatiently for the demo

[The Elder King]

There she is crimzontears:



The clothes doesn't seem armored to me.

[Blackout62]

That concept art armor is pretty badass... and we're never actually gonna see Merrill wearing it are we?

Aveline suits up later on.

We can assume she is one with great deal of certanty. DAO had 2 male + 2 female LI. The same formula is present in DA2 as well. And since we know Isabella is one, Aveline is not, it leaves only Merril.

You know, we have enough screenshots as it is, I wouldn't care much for new ones.... anyway let's hope Mary can chime in and give us some tidbits about her

[Minxie]

Yay for the Merrill reveal!

and must find help for her people. Whatever the cost.

I guess that's where the blood magic, Dalish Pariah thing comes in.

Neh I don't think so. Remember she is an elf and elves live much longer than humans. To me she looks about 20 in human years, so I don't see a 10 year span making her look visibly older.
