Bisexual only romance options are quite frankly, ridiculous.
There should be straight, gay, and bi romance options.

Why? They are just, what the games need them to be. If you play a male Hawke, she is straight, if you play a FemHawke, then Merrill is homosexual. That way you might even argue, Merrill is never bi.
I defy you to justify that.Dr. Nexas wrote...

Thats kinda silly. The game shoudn't completely change a character's sexuality based on an arbitrary player decison.

Merrill fan art. Merrill fan fic. Merill fan hats. Merril fan cake. Meril fan spelling.RVonE wrote...
You artists should get on with creating new Merrill fan art
It is rather a different, very similar character and not a change. First the whining, that there may be no homosexual relationships, then the whining, that you may be bound to one specific homosexual relationship and now Bioware finally let's you choose freely and then this is also wrong.Dr. Nexas wrote...

Alright, lets try to have a more Merrill centric topic. Now, we know that Merrill is described as cute. Alot of us think she looks really cute. And she's been described as awkward. Now, on the other hand, she's a blood mage, which is a somewhat uncute power. What does this dicotamy sugest for her personality? Is she someone who is easily manipulated into performing forbiden magics? Or does she simply posses a diffrent perspective on the world and magic?

Just stop whing, for Christ's sake, just because something isn't exactly like you want it to be.
I take it you haven't actually read the linked article in full, because it addresses your initial question -- why having such character serve as the lynchpin of your story can be detrimental to the story. If that's somehow "failing to do anything"... well.Taleroth wrote...
And thus you've failed to do anything but point out a conceptual cousin.

It suggests that her personality is awesome. Seriously, it's even better than a flamboyant sassy golem.

I take it you haven't actually either, because the article applies to fanfiction. It falls apart in regards to original works and is completely ridiculous to apply to games.tmp7704 wrote...

You know those little, innocent girls in horror movies that always turn out to be genocidal serial killers that revel in perverse blood orgies of mutilation, dismemberment and death?
Merrill.
