Thats for gameplay purposes. I believe that lore wise you make a deal with a demon for blood magic/to learn it.

Even Anders asks Merrill if she learned blood magic on her own.

To which she says she contacted the 'spirit' for help in the matter. Blood magic does not necessarily have to be taught to one by a demon, but all Blood Magic is derived from someone who came into contact with a demon at some point.

Not according to those who believe blood magic originates from the Old God Dumat.

I heard that if you don't give Merrill the arulin'holm, but still have friendship with her, the friendship points you have switch to rivalry. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

Yes, if you aren't maxed at friendship (where it won't budge, ever), all of your friendship will be converted to rivalry, then it will +15 rivalry on top of that. At least, that's my understanding of the mechanics, and that seems to match up with my experience so far.

I like that, because I can rivalmance her without needing to support the templars or be a jerk to her.

So... if you are not romancing her, will she still be reasonably nice to you if you switch to rivalry? Well, not immediately after denying her the tool, I can imagine her being angry. I mean afterwards. Since I always manage to ****** off  Fenris, I don't need a Merrill-the-spitting-kitten :innocent:

I made a very short one-shot it contains a little bit of Merrill, but it mainly revolves around Flemeth's mystery and Mahariel Warden vs. Hawke.

Oh, I'm not saying the rivalmance path is better, necessarily. I'm just saying that if I ever want to see what the rival scenes are like, I don't have to be a jerk to get them. I'm actually still not sure which path I think is best, or which I want to be my "canon" playthrough. Mostly because while I don't think blood magic is inherently evil, and I support finding out more about elven history, I find demons shady and I think Merrill should probably trust them a bit less. Although I also think that ultimately it's her choice to make. So I'm leaning towards friendmance, I'm just a bit conflicted about it.

I like both paths just fine and I'm never a jerk or pro-Templar Hawke when doing the rival path.

When I RP the rivalmance, the Hawke in question isn't worried about the blood magic, the mirror, or the demon, but is concerned that Merrill's bond with her clan is slowly deteriorating., which becomes very evident in the "Mirror Image" quest.   Hawke believes that Merrill should take a step back and reconsider the way she's going about the eluvian restoration and perhaps look for a compromise with Marethari and the clan instead of moving forward with tunnel vision.  I must add that this Hawke does think the Dalish are being a bit unreasonable over the mirror business.  I really like to RP the relationship this way as it also adds an extra element of potential tragedy.  If Hawke were to convince Merrill to patch things up with the clan and if Merrill were successful in doing that, she'd probably leave Kirkwall to rejoin her clan (or, at least, this is  probably what Hawke would believe pre-romance scene) and Hawke would lose her.

I expected to be maybe a little sad given how that relationship ends up, but all I am is annoyed and pissed off at the  two-timing, backstabbing ****

Two-timing?

Acting all "No, please come back! We want you to be a part of the clan" while telling the clan that it's better to get killed by a varterral than saved by Merrill? That's pretty two-timey.

I thought the getting killed by the Varterral part was more of a thing the clan decided on their own. I never got the feeling that the keeper was encouraging the clan to ostracize Merrill.

She was. After killing the varterral, Merrill is all "****, what's the prob?" And Marethari is all "It's my duty to warn the clan."

Which, by the way, it totally isn't.

I am gonna have to review the tape on this one. Maybe she meant she was warning the clan about the Varterral, which she had sent 3 hunters and a darwin award winner after.

[AgelessTimeless]

No she pretty clearly said she warned the clan that Merrill might bring back the corruption. Completely different from warning about the Varterral.

[Inzhuna]

Even if you hate Marethari, little Merrill is still impossibly cute.

[SilentK]

I really liked that pic of Marethari and Merrill, so sweet. The good old days perhaps =) wonder how it is to grow up as the keepers first?

Yes.  Pol was fearful of Merrill because she was trying to fix the mirror that killed two clansmen.  He ran from her without realizing he was headed for the Varterral, I suppose.  I think his response was a bit irrational, but it is what it is.

The hunters dying from the Varterral had nothing to do with Merrill.  They were to gather some items that the clan would take with them when moving to another location and usually Varterrals do not attack but it became corrupted somehow (probably due to the demon).

i agree... I think Pol's reaction was irrational...especiallty considering when looking at Merrill, she didn't look corrupted at all. The varterral was something completely different...because when you return in act 3 for Zevran's quest...it's alive again... I personally think the big problem with Merrill and the clan, was a. the mirror( and demon) b. Marethari c. the clan's fear...which I gathered from the reaction Ilen gives when you return with Merrill in the party to do the herbalist's task questline of act 1.

Did anyone else glitch when they romanced her after getting her clothing upgrades and having the upgrades vanish?

I believe she does but I seem to recall that she more or less ignore's Varric's comment.

I enjoy seeing Merrill all flustered but trollbro Varric is the way to go.
