i like the new elf designs. everyone hated origins elves looking so human like and now that they look different ppl arent happy? what the?

I don't think everyone hated elves in Origins. We certainly thought they looked too much like humans with pointy ears, however, which is a big reason for the change. For those who liked elves in Origins just fine, I think a bit of adjustment is perfectly understandable-- and maybe some allowance that some of them will never like it at all. C'est la vie.

Ahh... the same excuse Japan uses.

At least at the University of Toronto, it isn't uncommon to see a girl that looks like her attending classes, and we're all at least 18. Americans just look... older to me on average. Bigger, too.

Agree with you, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and girls here are not usually the "cute" type, but there was a girl in my first university´s class that was 3 years older than me at the time (20, I was 17) and who was soo petite and cute, but that didn´t stop her from looking and acting her age, even if she had kinda of a cute personality as well, I'm expecting Merrill to be kinda like that.


PS: Yeah, I did have a crush on her, but this is not a story for here right?

So whoa wait, if she's super cute, 'virginal' but is curious about the ancient dalish ruins (someone else mentioned this either in this thread or another one just now)....does that mean she is the female elf equivalent of alistair, personality wise? sans chantry training and the big spoiler.

I think she will probably be like Lanaya. . .minus the horrible early life.

I imagine that she'll be something like this too. I like Lanaya. She seems totally rad.

yeah but lanaya struck me as more world savvy and not so much a girl next door type.

Lanaya wasn't world savvy.  At all.  She asks you how it's like for elves in human towns despite the fact that she should already know. . .(granted she could be asking if anything changed, but, she generally didn't know much about anything but the Dalish.)

maybe that was a poor choice of words on my part but what i ment was she understands the world a little better and the harshness it can bring

Can anyone give me a summation of Merrill's personality? I can't remember the Dalish origin very well.

Not gonna touch the rest of your comment but who's the cougar? Flemeth?

[MassOverload]

So far Merill looks interesting, and if she happens to be a companion; or better yet, a romance...I might romance her instead of Isabella. Eh, we'll see.

That would be awesome if Flemeth was the "rival" romance... just saying

As David Gaider said, she was basically a blank slate for the most part.  She didn't have nearly as much dialogue as Tamlen did in the Origins.  I suppose concerned while at least being a bit impatient or eager to check out the ruins is one way to describe her.

So, if Mr. Gaider were to make a post saying:
"Hay guys i was talking about fenris with laidlaw and i was like OMG HE CAN HAS TWO-HANDED SWORDS? that is kickin' rad dude, its gonna be so epic and full of win" without any indication that he was using such language "ironically", none of you would bat an eye?
Double standards, indeed.

You mean if after several years, David suddenly changed his conversational style? That in itself would suggest irony of some sort was at work.

If he always talked like that, I'm not sure why I would bat an eye.

So, a casual gamer who wandered in here to find out about the game is supposed to know that those two "squeeing" and talking like teenagers is normal for them? You don't think it might turn away someone who doesn't follow every developer religiously, in perhaps the same way that Evil Chris suggested excessive romance threads would be detrimental to sales?

I think there are two things that need to be clarified here.

First, the "talking like a teenager" issue. That type of dialogue is perfectly normal between women who share a bond for liking something in common. Females squee. It's something that they do. And they do it a lot. Some males seem to hate it, but curiously, when the squeeing is done towards them, they suddenly don't hate it anymore. In fact, they kind of like it.

Secondly, I must admit, fangirls can be scary. Very scary. I am a die-hard Alistair fangirl, and yet I run away from his threads. And it would be the same with Carth and Valen if their fanbases were still in their prime. That's why I understand Chris Priestly's hate about romance threads. Although, BioWare has a very strong female fanbase, which is something few companies can boast about. And those females are also part of the sales. While I don't believe that romances are the main reason why more females play BioWare games, I do know that they boost the experience in an extremely positive and touching way. If some males are too macho to take the optional romances - then don't. But breaking sex boundaries, introducing videogames that are both amazing and appealing to both sexes is something that BioWare has accomplished throughout the years. And excessive romance threads may be a sign of changing times, for which I am grateful.

I apologize to have deviated from the main discussion.

Aveline.
She looks to be much older than Hawke. I'd say early to mid 40's from the looks of her.

Thank you very much. So maybe...adventurous? That sounds fun.

This is ridiculous, everytime I finish reading a page there's two more new ones, I will never finish reading this

In the origin, she comes off (to me) as being serious and a bit stern (like I said before, kind of big sister playing at being mom) which fits with her role as Keeper's First.  She's also very curious about the ruins you're in, wishes that she had more time to study them, but understands the mission at hand.  She's also very polite to Duncan.

Now, granted all of this is in a time period where the PC nearly died, Tamlen might be dead, and the no. 1 priority is finding him, making sure you don't die, and dealing with darkspawn that suddenly turned up and are a danger to the clan.  So that's one very serious situation that you get to know her in.  And obviously no time to be "omg so cute" at all.

I'm just hoping for a good balance of those things, so that's it definitely Merrill when we see her, but in a rich way with lots of personality.  If that happens, then I'll (probably) be really happy!

Oh, so she's both the cougar and the warrior chick. I see.

I don't think she's quite that old. If she is and is a romance option, well..... GET IT, AVELINE.

[Tiax Rules All]

I'm cool with the look of the new Elves, maybe she isn't really all that young anyways.

Personally I think Elves should look like that. Short, slender, young LOOKING and I like how she looks cute and not bitter like all the other Dalish.

Yeah i'm just guessing her age, but from the new dev video, she does look kinda mature, not saying it's a bad thing. But she does look older then everyone else in the group. Strong Samara vibe coming from her so far.

[Harid]

I don't think Aveline is old enough to be considered a 'cougar.'



Of course going by porn standards where 26 year old women are milfs. . .well, whatever.

Will have a hard time taking down Varric's chst hair.

I'm aware which is why I'm aiming for the lower goal of taking down Sebastian's sexy Scottish accent...

I say that and I'm a hetero male, hell I'm on this thread and I'm a hetero male. Guess that's the upside of Internet anonymity.

Edit: I made it to the front of the thread, good job for something i cooked up in a half hour. *pats self on back*
