What you know about Aveline is limited to her figure--that's problem number one. You know nothing about her, personally. What we know about Isabela is that she's a pirate, and she likes sex. So did Morrigan, and Leliana did too (even if she changed to believe in twoo luv). She's not married--Zevran killed her husband. She didn't seem to care for him, and I doubt he'll be brought up much. Her feelings about romance is a fair point, though. I don't care much for it either, considering we just saw it happen quite a few BioWare romances.

I didn't know any such about Leliana, actually. I deliberately skipped all that stuff in the dialog because it soured the experience for me. Isabela is rather in-your-face about it all, though. Morrigan was initially someone I was not going to romance. Further conversations with her made it worth while. Maybe one of these characters will end up like that as well. But there's a distinct difference between Morrigan's initial approach and Isabela's general universal lust. As for Aveline, first attraction is always physical. Unless you're blind (I mean this literally, not as a hyperbole or metaphor) the first thing you notice about someone is how the person looks. I don't think that women shouldn't be strong, but the muscular proportions turn me off. There's a difference between a lean well muscled body and a large muscled body. I'm not attracted to the latter. I don't think there's anything wrong with being honest about that. Also, I believe I heard that she's married when you first run into her. Then her husband dies. Also a huge turn off. Maybe ten years down the road it wouldn't matter, but coming fresh off the death I'd have no interest in being the rebound.

Ok, well I'm exagerating about Aveline's butchness. But it's still not along the lines of what I'd find attractive in an LI.

Anyhow, you are judging Merrill entirely on a couple of screencaps and a second of footage.

That's right. So I could be wrong. But the first impression is a bad one for me.

Why don't you negative folk make a ''Merrill is fugly and looks like a 12 year old thread'' and move over there? Since this is a appreciation thread.

On topic: If she's not a complete b*tch like Velanna was most of the time then I love her already :happy:.

Mammal glands are too large. Ahem.

She looks nice overall, cute, pure, innocent. In other words, she looks like someone one would like to defile.

Merril's facial balance is like that of a baby. WIDE forehead and upper 1/3 facial zone with a smaller nose, mouth and chin. I think that is partly what people are sensing, factor in disproportionate chest region and it just... well, it doesn't add up.

This

I don't think she is "fugly" I just believe they made an unfortunate design decision.

[Quinnzel]

Yay Merrill!

True.

I wonder who her new VA will be. Someone sexy and Welsh.

Erin Mathews? She's the voice in Origin.

Dragon Age had updated Merrill's profile. She's comfirmed?

[Maria Caliban]

the-one,

This isn't a thread about Aveline, Isabela, or the female love interests. It's a thread about Merril. If you want to talk about how none of the women appeal to you, why not use a different thread?

David Gaider confirmed that it's her outfit that made them look so big.

[Gethrian]

My first reaction was "aww. what a cute kid" Then I was like wait she's Merrill @_@

She's definitely cute in a Disney character sort of way. But something about her look just creeps me out.

She must be a mass murderer or something.

Well... considering what we're likely to spend half the game doing, it's a pretty safe assumption that every follower is a mass murderer.

I had that reaction, too! In the matter of three split seconds.

Yeah, the innitial thought I had concerning how oddly large they were was that it was that big chest piece making things stick out. But that's not what bugged me. And as said above, it's not that she's ugly either. The cuteness just isn't striking me as a positive thing here. It seems out of place.

[Alexia89]

She looks a little older than i thought when i saw the trailer.

Gaider says that her... assets do not look like that in the real game and are in fact much smaller. Good, they look like bowling balls

I assumed they were going to give her a new Welsh VA to make it fit with the rest of the new Dalish. We know they aren't opposed to the idea of new VAs, à la Isabela. I don't think there's anything wrong with her voice in DA:O, it would just seem out of place if all the other Dalish had Welsh accents.

[Asunder]

Maybe she's not short, she's just standing in... a hole! Not young and short, but.. "youthful" and "topographically challenged".

Saibh wrote...

I like her. And I like her more because she's a) fully clothed

Allow me to point out that we've only seen her from the waist up. Keep a stern eye.

I also like her scarf, it looks like she jacked it from Hope off in FFXIII land *just* to subvert DA:0's obsession with all outfits articulating perfectly to the necklace line. There's a reason everyone in Ferelden wore one...

and she seems (in that .001 second shot) friendly and cheerful.

Merrill: "B!tch, I'm so better than you filthy humans that it's not even funny anymore."

It could happen :<

Asking.

Is it just mer or does her staff seem insanely huge for her size?

Edit: Also, maybe it's just the scarf, but doesn't her outfit look somewhat...futuristic? Kind of like Morrigan's clothing in the SA trailer. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't look very dalish to me.

It's a staff model from DAO. Everything was insanely huge in that game, greatswords, longswords, daggers, staves...
