All the writers went "D'awwww!" in unison when we saw this. It is eerily accurate, even.


Varric: And what happened then? Well, in Edmonton they say that the Gaider's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then - the true meaning of Dragon Age 2 came through, and the Gaider found the strength of *ten* writers, plus two!


Dinosaur David looked so cheerful and adorable in the dev diary, I can't really think that he's a heartless person. He just need a hug :<

Well you can't please everyone, still I'd be happy if she wasn't a romance option, there are so many other types of relationships for Bioware to explore other than Romance, it would be nice if people realized that.

Apparently making comments on artwork isn't allowed unless all you have to say is variations of "I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DRAW!!!!!"

 We get it. You want a soft, pretty woman who doesn't have any opinions, masculine features, and has the moral purity of a vestal virgin. We get it, we really do.

The thing is I'd imagine writing such a...fascinating character must be boring. Writers like to write unique characters, characters that get a reaction, characters that are not solely caricatures, and what you seem to want seems to be at odds with that.

Don't worry about it.. Its obvious thats she's a real artist. I'm sure she's taken your advice to heart..Subconsciously at least..


I don't mind criticism at all. The thing is, though I may be an artist, I am not a 3D program. Also as thoroughly demonstrated by the early in-game image of Isabela being passed around as an example of her allegedly bloated face, eyes lie.


about your comment on how you think you made her too short, hmmm...maybe, she's a bit short but i think it works to her advantage here, i think it enhances her cuteness if that is even a real word^_^

I hope no one minds if I don't post them directly as with some other threads it makes loading the first page a pain.


OMG, yes! The Varric thread is a pain to open up. :pinched:

The problem with disliking and disagreeing with absolutely everything on the last few pages is that it eventually makes it hard to take you seriously.

Okay, so... possibly embarrassing question time.  I haven't followed the Merrill discussion from the start, but has there been any sort of confirmation that she's a party member, or is the companion talk still just speculation/possible hopeful thinking?


Well there was the game article from a magazine I cant quite recall.. And this..

I still want to draw Isabela squooshing her in a hug, so maybe next to a human I can make her the right height. To photoshop!

Who said anything about disliking her picture. I recal specifically saying in that post that her art is obviously good.

Fair enough. Dimensions on the mouth could be imperceptable in that screenshot. I do still think that the brows are further apart from each other, though.

I have been working on reading through all the pages, but haven't gotten that far yet (page 13...). But nice artwork from what I've seen on this page.

I for one like Merril's design... because it is actually a rather realistic design. So far I am seeing a lot "she looks too young" comments... There are plenty of people that look to be in their early/mid-teens but they are actually over the age of twenty. I'm one of them, and so are plenty of people who are playing teenagers in movies/TV shows. Sorry. Just had to say that because it always annoys me when people assume that someone is a kid because they look like one.

Maybe she will look older once we actually get into the game and it is just the screen that makes her look young. But I don't mind her looking young and being an LI, as long as she is actually of adult age and isn't actually a teen (and I'm pretty sure she isn't one) :P

A lot of things hint at it. Previews, writer talk, the story video shows a circle of companions and Merrill is on it. Ect.


Ah, okay, thanks.  I haven't followed the game's development as closely as I did the first game's, partly because I decided I would like to be surprised about some of the party members.  We'll see how principled I can be about not spending too much time on the forums before the game comes out.

I'm beginning to wonder though if DAII will have its Jenkins equivalent, and if we've seen him or her yet...

You consider yourself well within your rights to complain that you didn't get the female LI you crave. But if someone disagrees that Psuedocognition's work is fine, pretty or accurate,  you seem to mock that.  Isn't that just as much about subjectivity than your own preferences in NPCs? Aren't their opinions on everything from Merrill to Merrill fan art just as valid?

What was irritating was how they jumped on my like I had intended to trashtalk her artwork. I said it was good from the start.

I mean if would be nice to have some type of heroic moment with Merrill when you get to sweep her of her feet and hold her close to you and have a long pause

I agree but I think It would be even more perfect if I got to do this as fem hawke.  I blame all that yuri I read.

so you think that based on the small picture Merrill will grow her hair out?

Out of curiousity who is the guy on the bottom, he looks like a noble I would think its Sebastian, but this guy has side bangs...

To be honest if I wanted to be in a female relationship in game I think it would be with Avaline
though warrior F!Hawke defending Merrill from an attack is pretty cute Revoluntionary Girl Utana is running in my head right now

Probably an unnanounced companion. Some have speculated Anders, or his look-alike.
