I'm sure elves are a hell of lot sturdier than they look. I can tell you from personal experience that a frail looking chimpanzee can easily toss a 200 lbs. man across a room.

personal... experience?

that must be one hell of a story.

I had an ex-girlfriend who worked at the zoo.

Penguins can also leave you needing 24 stitches. If a giraffe kicks you in the back of the head, you won't remember it.

Are we getting off-topic?

So, uh, Merrill in DA3; what do you guys think?

[DoNotIngest]

I think it's not going to happen, though I wasn't planning on buying DA3 anyways.



Now, about this chimpanzee...

[Ravensword]

Oh, you may end up changing your mind since it probably won't be out in over a year.

DA3..

If Hawke is the protagonist, which i highly doubt, then i hope for a open slot for his/her Love Interest. Whom could be Merrill too of course.

If not... Well, i wouldn't mind it, but i wouldn't bet that bioware could do it AND have it make sense at the same time.

If we have a new protagonist i hope we get a open slot for Hawke's surviving sibling instead. Finally going to romance Bethany and/or Carver!!

It has already been clarified by Mike Laidlaw and David Gaider that each iteration of Dragon Age (Origins, 2, 3, etc) will tell the story of a new hero.

Even so, it's an interesting idea to hook up with Hawke's sibling, though any of the DA2 companions would make excellent cameos/team-mates in my opinion.

Hawke will NOT be the protagonist UNLESS Bioware does an about face on it new hero for each game approach to Dragon Age. I only see that happening if everyone associated with the first two games are fired. Of course, that will probably make a lot of the DA2 haters very happy.

Merrill will at best be featured in a few cameos. I don't know how I'd feel about it if I discovered that Merrill was no longer with Hawke at the time of the cameo. Although I could picture Leliana saying, "It's been fun!" to my dwarf noble Warden, I always imagined her and the human noble being together for life.

At this point, what I really want is a major expansion, similar to Awakenings, that allows us to wrap up Hawke and friends' stories before DA3 comes out.

As for the chimp story, my ex was called, by police, out to a home of some jackass who had a dozen or so exotic animals living in his mobile home. I went with her and watched the police putting constrictors, alligators, a puma and other animals into trucks. One police officer was being attended because he was kicked in the head by a young giraffe. He said he didn't remember it happening.

My ex was clawed by a South African penguin and needed 24 stitches.

I heard a noise in a shed that Barney Fife said was empty (if you don't understand the joke, just google it). We went in and there was a cute, innocent widdle chimpanzee that looked so scared and sad it would give you the sniffles.

Barney Fife picked him and up and held the cute widdle chimpanzee like it was a baby. Awwww! I wanted to hold him...

I held it for a minute or so, rocking him and then he suddenly grabbed my head and jaw and started trying to pry them apart. Apparently apes like to open each others' mouths and look inside. It hurt and I fell to the ground. I hit him instinctively, he grabbed my arm, and threw me into the shed's wall about four feet away. The chimp was less than a quarter my size.

I only mentioned the chimp because I assume that Merrill, like that chimp, may be deceptively strong and sturdy despite her size.

[Ravensword]

I don't understand why people hate on DA2 so much. I guess for some people, life isn't complete unless they've spent a good deal of time hating on something or conjuring lots of ill will.

You didn't know that chimps have much greater strength than humans? What about the chimp that tore the hands and face off of that one woman? He is known as Face-Ripper Monkey. I didn't come up w/ that name.

Maybe the staves that mages use are surprisingly light.

While I like Bethany and Carver and would love to have Carver back as a full time companion, I doubt that we will see them beyond cameroes. The siblings have three different fates: Dead, Gallows, Wardens and to add to it the two alive fates: Gallows and wardens also alter their personalities. Warden Carver and Templar Carver is not the same person. I simply think that the siblings are too widespread in the fate department to come back as a companion. Charade is a better option, I think.

Also, if there are LI camoero I pray to the Maker that they:
1. Works.
2. That Hawke is present at the camero...

You are right, they are very open, perhaps too much.

But i won't loose hope!

Cameo.  Though, I'd prefer nothing to a cameo.

I'm just holding out for a decent role in a DA2 DLC for Merrill, which may not happen EVAR.

The siblings are tricky because they don't have a single appearance either.   They could just use the default or try to go with the 4 different presets...could get complicated.

Or, if the developers doesn't take any unnecesarry risks and doesn't change the graphics again, they can just be imported. Then keep the default for the pre-set imports.

I enjoy DA2, but I'd have to give the nod to DA:O for being a better game. I HATED the pacing and KotOR style combat, but the level of detail and layers of content definitely made it one of the best of the old-school style RPGs. There are WAY too many features of DA2 that seem rushed and unfinished, while I thought DA:O was bloated. Given a choice between the two, many fans preferred DA:O.

However, I have no idea why ANYONE would think that Bioware "betrayed" them, or is showing disdain for their fan base by attempting to do something new. If you don't like the game, fine, but really, a lof the whining is WAY over the top.

And yes, I know chimps are stronger than humans, but it was so well behaved with the cop that I figured it was safe it I was treating it the same way.

[Abispa]

The only characters I see returning for any major roles would be Aveline and Varric because they have plot armor and can't die, are they aren't dramatically different characters based on our decisions in DA2. And I would prefer that the DA2 expansions and DLCs be the last games featuring Merrill. Any cameos would be unnecessary.

Sebastian too.

I really do hope Bioware does away with this nonsense of "Kill your companions to get rid of them". I'd much rather they explore other avenues to remove the companions from the party. Like betrayal or leaving in a fit of anger.

[Chun Hei]

But Sebastian is a LI and that limits him in being a major character. Plus he could be a happy brother or a prince on the warpath if you do not romance him.

No, I quite like it. I like NPCs challenging PCs, potentially to the death.

It sort of makes the idea for awesome Merrill special companion DLC sort of moot, though.

[bleetman]

Why? Isabela and Aveline can both leave. Anders can be dead. Your siblings can be dead. Didn't stop any of them from having much greater roles in the dlcs than the others.

Besides, I'd say Isabela leaving and/or Anders/both siblings being dead is more likely to happen by chance than Merrill being dead. Her possible death at the hands of Hawke is under pretty specific circumstances.

I mean Merrill centric DLC, not just random DLC with a bigger focus on Merrill...

[bleetman]

Oh. Oh. Like Leliana's Song, only with Merrill? Okie dokie then.

I doubt they'll do that with anyone.  I'm guessing most DLC's will be Hawke-focused.

Though I'd like a DLC where Merrill has more to say about what's going on in the story...not just party banter.

They could remake Leliana's Song...only with Merrill.

Replace Sketch with her.

I'd totally buy it.

Werll, I haven't even played KotOR either, so I wouldn't understand the comparison. I've heard some good things about it though, and I could probably pick it up for dirt cheap, but the question about compatibility w/ newer versions of Windows.

I don't know what else to say so I'll let this image do the talking for me:

Yeah.
