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

Interesting …

Pardon my ignorance, but what does VO stand for?

Voice Over.

Now that we have gotten an official reveal, why don't we get an official confirmation that she is a LI Bioware? Pretty please so that the dissenters can stop

He's saying the first concept art of Merrill didn't work because of technical issues and because it was a bit too sexy. But they still liked that art, so they incorporated elements from it into her re-design. The finished product is the Merrill that we've all seen in screenshots and which adorns the first page of this thread.

I guess this discussion of how risque clothing wouldn't fit Merrill's personality means she won't be pole-dancing at the Kirkwall strip club on weekends.

So Bioware decided to give us no screenshots and early concept art instead of her current look like everyone else:whistle: Makes sense to me:bandit:

Actually, I think what he's really saying is that Merrill is a romance option.

What he's really saying is that her scarf is a romance option.

Ah, that's making more sense. If that devs still around, could you tell us if she's got more than 1 outfit?

[XX55XX]

That's great. But why not screenshots, though?

I preferred my confusing, roundabout way of describing this......but thank you  hehe

Why spoil the fun? You'll just have to wait and see!

Wait so which one is the first concept art that didn't work because it was too sexy? Is that the concept art on her character page?

It isn't, it's old and whether or not it gets released anytime soon is beyond me. I hope it will be though, you'd all get a kick out of it for sure

I was really hoping we'd get official screenshots so I can make my banners prettier.

Tears and cookies coming right up if you can convine the decision makers to release it 

On a side note, I'm pretty pleased Merrill isn't overly sexualized like Isabella, one "hot and steamy" romance is enough.

So... any chance we get to see that original concept art? for science, of course

Now I really want to see it!  Damn you teasing devs.  <_<

One thing I do notice is that the character page doesn't mention blood magic at all.

Yeah but I guess that's typical marketing, you can't release something like this to the casual fans who just check the official site and don't come to the forums, that way it'll be an interesting hook for them when they play the game... I'm fairly sure she's a blood mage, she even summoned a demon

The clothes doesn't seem armored to me.

I can't stop looking at that...staff? Is it upside down?!

No it's not, all staffs are like this now, they have blades on one end for the melee animations, in combat if she engages in melee she'll hit them with that scythe looking blade

Oh, thank you ^^""

But in all the pictures we've seen Merrill holds her staff with the scythe facing down. The way the staff is shown on her back would mean when she draws it the scythe would be facing up. So yes Merrill's staff is upside down or all the screens we've seen have showed Merrill holding her staff in reverse like a badass.

LOL, you lost me there, if the scythe is facing down when it's on her back then it's not upside down because that's how it's supposed to be when she's not using it, am I getting it wrong or what?

Edit: Also I don't expect her to hold the staff with the scythe up unless she's involved in a melee animation.

OK, let's see here... I go to sleep for 6 hrs...and wake and viola! Merrill has her official reveal!



SWEET!



Okay, one concept art...and the 'vague' reasoning given by the dev makes it seem like she either will or will not get some kinda appearance upgrade and change. The description isn't much but it basically confirms what I believed which is she wasn't exiled..and the dalish view blood magic much different than others...most notably the chantry n templars. Thirdly, if going by one of the previews descriptions...it seems we will be able to get Merrill early, actually I'm kinda hoping we can go get our companions in whatever order we want to grab and have them join our party...
