4) She never wrote in blood on the Vhenadahl tree, "Merrill was here. Merrill Hawke forever."

I like to think that she did, though.

*continuing my Merrill blood mage thing*

I always felt that Merrill represented the 'good' blood mage within the DA2 narrative (vs. all the other crazies). She turned to blood magic for practical reasons that involved fixing the eluvian and not b/c she just desired more power.

I think she handled blood magic well in those 7 years in Kirkwall considering:

1) She never unleashed demons on the Alienage.
2) She never turned the inhabitants of the Alienage into her own personal sex slave army.
3) No blood sacrifices of elven children.
4) She never wrote in blood on the Vhenadahl tree, "Merrill was here. Merrill Hawke forever."

1) The Alienage already met its yearly Demon quota what with Huon and alll.
2) You don't need blood magic to do that, you just have to be a noble's spoiled sh*t kid.
3) See No. 2
4) We can't prove she didn't. Although witnesses say the suspect was spotted skipping away from the scene.

I think it's pretty fitting that Dalish Pariah doesn't include any Graverobber/Blood Slave/Sacrifice type spells, really.

She only uses blood magic to power 'normal' spells and paralyze people...she's a good one XD

1)  Now I wonder who sets the demon quota for the Alienage

2-3) Well, yeah Seb's quest kinda proves that.

4)  Okay, we shall believe she did XD  It would be cute....a blood mage Hawke could help out with that.  My Hawke would write "Hawke Merrill" in larger letters right above Merrill's own writing b/c she's competitive like that.

Well, paralysis as a result of rending them from the inside out. That one's a little more shady

With everything else that happens, I half expected to fight a possessed vhenadahl sylvan at one point.

The Alienage was full of uggos, that would've been a waste of a sex slave army. Had she mind controlled the workers from the Rose to move to the Hawke estate, that would've been deliciously evil and not a waste. 

But she's a good kid, hence she didn't do that either.

Varric: Why're you so down, Junior?
Carver: I gave Merrill my heart *sigh* and she gave me...
Varric: Is that a Quill Pen?
Carver: I think its to stab myself in the ear with.
Varric: Ya know, that is a nice pen. I'll give you 2 silver for it.

[bleetman]

Carver has a heart? When did this happen?!

[Giggles_Manically]

Heh.

For me Blood magic does not bother me.
Just demons.

An entire mob jumps Hawke, Merrill, Fenris, and Anders.
Hawke: Damn not again!
Suddenly a dozen of them burst apart and hit the ground.
Hawke: What?
Fenris and Anders: BLOOD MAGIC! BAD BAD BLOOD MAGIC WARHGHAGHAHAA!!!!
Merrill: Sorry but they were going to kill Hawke!
Hawke: See this is why I love you, you get to be on top tonight.
Fenris and Anders; +1000 RIVAL POINTS

[Fieryeel]

Can't wait for Merrill goodness from the DLC!

[Giggles_Manically]

I cant either.

I have my rival and friend romance saves ready to import just in case it gets any new dialouge.

[Special_Agent_Goodwrench]

I'm having a bit of a dilemma here. I'm working on the "canon run #1" and am unsure whether to friend or rival Merrill. I experimented with both paths before but I just don't know which one to pick now. What I liked about the rival path, is that I didn't have to be an ass to her to complete it. On the other hand, I really like her friendship path, though some choices I disagree with. Actually, does anyone know if it's possible to withold the arulin'holm and still earn full friendship with Merrill?

So yeah. What are your opinons on Merrill's friendship/rivalry? Help a man out.

If you have maxed her friendship meter before finishing her quest "Mirror Image," you should be fine. Otherwise, all those friendship points will turn into rivalry points if you withheld the arulin'holm from her.

I enjoy both paths for what they are(I prefer friendship.) However, one thing I really don't about the friendship romance is that it's almost beat-for-beat the Tali romance in ME2(and I love that one.)

Actually I think that was stated to be a bug. Merrill should rightfully hate you for not giving her the Arulin'holm. Her conversation might be messed up if you max her friendship then refuse to give it to her.

[Giggles_Manically]

While I like each path I think I like the Rival path a bit more.

Really it comes down to personal preference.

[DRTJR]

Personally I like the friend path because I agree with merrill on the Mirror, mages, and Cats.

Reserved for next DLC boss.

[Giggles_Manically]

A giant possessed vhenadahl starts marching towards Hawke and CO.:
Hawke: Oh come on my luck can not be that bad!
Varric: See I told you, not to be pee on that tree Hawke!
Merrill: What?
Hawke: uhhh..... I though it was a giant lamp?
Aveline: HAWKE! DO YOU NOTICE THE GIANT TREEZILLA MARCHING TOWARDS US!
Hawke: Right! -runs to face the tree-

Never really supported Blood Magic, since I consider it harm magic. Someone has to bleed or be sacrificed in order for it to be used.

But I never wanted to force Merrill from using it. Not even when I wanted the mirror gone. I might not like Blood Magic, or the risks that come with it, but I trust Merrill to not use it for anything evil.

That's the Friendship romance really. It's trusting Merrill not to f**k up w/ Blood magic. At least, that's how I saw it.

But I didn't trust the Mirror, and wanted her to get rid of it. That's the rival path.
