It's probably just a mistake, anyway. There's no reason that Merrill wouldn't be speaking at all, except if they just couldn't get Ms. Myles.


Rumor says they didn't.

Though, it's only a rumor as of now.

I don't think she'll be talking though.

They're not going to have a DLC where all the companions talk but one.

1) All the companions talk
2) None of the companions talk
3) You're restricted in what companions you can take and they all talk.

That said, it's possible they brought in a new VA.

I'd prefer no new dialog to that.  :D

I don't think it's that big of an issue....it sucks, but I can deal.

I think I'd prefer her just not say anything than have a different voice actor. Her silence would be disappointing, but not all that different to some of the quests in the main game. Her speaking in a different voice would be utterly incongruous, like if Anders switched between Greg Ellis and Adam Howden part way through DA2.

I guess we'll see, anyway.

Perhaps they've decided to leverage the framed narrative and lines of the companions will be done by Varric pretending to be them.

Varric doing imitations would make it all better, yes.

I imagine he'd show the entire action using the action figures as well, for full Spaceballs effect.

So, since BW is ready to reveal a few things on the Legacy DLC now (like in the presentation yesterday), I talked to Fernando Melo and asked him whether we could expect some cool new dialogues from our companions (especially Merrill ^^).

He just confirmed it, here you go:

Fernando Melo wrote...
All of the followers have brand new lines, and the new party banter is as good or better in some cases (in my opinion) than the main game - same writers, same VO talent, etc. In particular with the Family/Carta/Wardens connection, there are also unique scenes with followers like the siblings, Varric and Anders. Also, depending on which point in the game you begin there are also scenes with Mother.


I rather like this :D

Huh. This may be the first time I've actually felt bad about stabbing Anders in the spine. Thank you for introducing me to a genuinely new sensation.

Huh, scenes with mother? Then I might put the latest playthrough on hold until i get this DLC...

I really hope Warden Beth/Carver has special dialogue, i'd also like them to recognize Sebastian in some way, (Banter, please!)
If they note Merrill as my LI will be interesting too :o

Start the thing from a point where Anders has his stabbing yet to come.
Isn't there a autosave for the start of each act? :/

Yep.  Basically any follower that appears in the party selection screen including Sebastian (if you have Exiled Prince DLC) you can bring, and they will have new lines.

Do the sibs come back temporarily if you're doing the DLC in Act II or Act III? That would be one thing that might get me to buy it.

The real thing I want to know is if there will be new places to gain Friendship and Rivalry.

I haven't coem across anything that denies or confirms a tempoary return, but I'm guessing no, the trophy that requires Carver or Beth to be present must be gained before act 2 or after the game is finished and they've returned.

Yes. I won't spoil it with the how, but as I mentioned above as long as they exist in your party selection screen (whether selectable or not in main game due to their duties) you will have access to them for the DLC.

You can't really justify keeping the arulin'holm...it's theft...plus stabbing Merrill in the back.

No I distinctly remember putting about 300 hundred arrows into the Varterral whilst simulatenously chanting "ItsNotASpider" repeatedly and then Marethari personally handing the carving knife to me. She says so specifically "I'm giving this to you Hawke." So the Keeper, who is a Leader of the Dalish people and thus completely aware of the rules governing their customs and tradition, hands me a filthy filthy thief and killer of a Shemlen their sacred whittlin' knife.

Its not theft if I earned it and was specifically given it. I am merely the arbiter of its ownership. Essentially I am an escrow with a conscience.


Not really...it rightfully belongs to Merrill...she called the rite...she accomplished the goal (even though she had others aid her).  The tool belongs to any member of the clan that calls the rite and does the task (regardless if they had help)..the tool belongs to Merrill under Dalish custom...when did Hawke become a member of that Dalish clan?

The Keeper defied her word and Dalish custom....


Which makes her rebel like Edward James Olmos in Stand and Deliver. You don't mess the Olmos... or Marethari.


That's wassup.
