Asking.

Oh, okay. I think they will go with a new actress unless the old one can do a welsh accent.

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.

I don't see futuristic, actually for me I find her outfit more dalish then anything I saw in DA:O.

It's actually just a large baseball bat made from a sylvan tree. She uses it to bludgeon those Shemlen fools who endanger her clan. Friendly and Cheerful... and then WHACK!

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


Yeah, I recognize it. Still, they could've chosen a different model, just so that the size wouldn't look so out-of-place.

btw, I wonder who wrote her? Think we can find out if we ask nicely? :innocent:

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.


Er... I don't know about you but when I see something "cute, pure, and innocent" my first thought isn't to defile it.. 
Its to appreciate and take care of it.. Though I can't speak for everyone. <_<

It's a new actor-- and is the last on the list of "actors I specifically asked for and got on the first try".

Ha! So you are her writer.

I assume it's a secret along with Fenris' VA.

And I thought Merrill would become a less controversial LI. :blink: I hope the trailer gives a false impression of her height. She seems to be walking up a hill in that scene, so the perspective could make her look smaller than she actually is. Or maybe that's wishful thinking.

The only Welsh voice actress I can think of is Amanda Hale...and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

So, who wrote her, if I may ask?
Excellence.

Edit-
And I'd be wrong.. <_<

You may feel free to assume she is an amalgam of Sten, Loghain, and Varric.

My kneejerk wasn't really impressed, since her redesign needed to accommodate for the new elf vision, but after looking a bit at a side-by-side, I'm really happy with the look. She doesn't seem as serious, but it isn't exactly a long enough clip to base that off of.



Looking forward to hearing her.

Hmmm, guess she will be wielding a two handed sword that doubles as a crossbow then.
