Could be nothing at all, they didn't even bother drawing her face (that doesn't look like Merrill at all, no tattoos?), maybe they just slapped some concept armor on the female elf body and that's it... I'm hoping not though.


They copy pasted the head of the female elf in the race concept art over some armor concept. That has to be the laziest thing i've ever seen.

@Atakuma: Yeah, I wouldn't have minded the wait for a couple of days just to get the concept right, I was waiting specifically for it ~sigh~ <_<

I'll admit, I was surprised with the concept art not being up to par with the others and there was no screenshot. The description was also... rather... blah.

Or they did it the other way round. Which would still be lazy.

That they make the concept for the profile page seems like a silly notion to me.

Although I'm delighted we got an official reveal, if for no other reason that it will end some dumb questions, I find it odd that we got the reveal so quickly on the heels of the Anders/Justice reveal.

I wonder if there's some purpose to this rushed announcement. Perhaps more info is coming shortly?

In that we disagree.

Really? Mm. I found it blah because we didn't really find out anything new about it, the story behind Merrill or much of her personality.

Yeah I kinda liked the description, just gave us enough info without revealing too much.

One would assume they already have the concept art, I mean before even creating the character they had to imagine what she looked like, this looks like neglect to me, and as I said waiting a couple more days wouldn't have hurt anyone... anyway the wait for the game is killing me already :(

Quite the opposite, I gleaned from it some hints to her personality and her reason for joining Hawke.



Also, Dave, you might want to go back a few pages, as this thread got a special extended character description.

Gosh, we've seen fan art that captures her better!



Oh well, nice to finally have her official, even if she was really a foregone conclusion.

The extended description from Priestly was pretty good IMO.  It gave a little info about her personality, how she is slightly isolated even from her fellow Dalish because of being a first.  

EDIT :ph34r:

The outfit Merrill wears in the game that you've already seen, was built from another concept. Early on it was cut from the game due to technical issues. Its original incarnation did not fit her own personality or VO either (The concept was a tad risqué). Thus this newer costume concept was drawn up to replace it.



....But we liked her original outfit enough that we spent the extra time to make the necessary revisions mixing both worlds and pushed it in the game :)

That's cool.  I'm glad they didn't go too risqué with her, not because I think it's inherently bad, just because I don't think it's necessary for every female character.

Interesting …

Pardon my ignorance, but what does VO stand for?

You don't necessarily know that.  It could've been the other way around or more likely that's how the development of Merrill's concept art started to begin with.   Don't understand all these complaints about the official reveal.    I'm happy they've finally confirmed it.

I'm sorry, I'm having reading comprehension trouble -- is the outfit with the famous scarf not in the game?

I am really confused by this paragraph.

edit: phew, I thought I was stroking out there or something. it appears I'm not the only one. I read it 3 times and still couldn't figure out what he meant.

So only the older one is in the game? or the newer one as well? I'm a little confused :huh:

Pretty sure he's saying the concept art outfit was the original design for Merrill, but they decided it was too risque so they gave her the outfit we currently see in screenshots. But they kept the risque outfit for... other purposes. *shifty eyes*

I think they mixed the two together into what we saw in the video and screen shots.

uh, isn't it more that the concept art is the newer outfit, that was mixed with the original risque outfit to create the current one?

That was how I understood it.
