Sorry but that is just an assumption because she is in the game and has a new look, and new VA.
The Devs aint confirmed it. And frankly logically its very unlikely.[/quote]
Yes,
they have.
"I'm assuming this is because there's voiceover that says this when Merrill is on-screen?"
"You guys have no idea how cute Merrill is."
"Merrill is tiny."
"...but I also recall Merrill having very little to say in the Dalish origin."
[quote]She is the apprentice Keeper of Maretharis' clan - it would be unlikely and risky to the point of stupidity (and frankly against what is already established as the Dalish Mindset) to allow the clans apprentice keeper (the only one in the clan besides marethari who knows magic especially healing magic) to leave the clan to go adventuring with some random fereldan.
In the Dalish Origin, the Dalish only let you go because you were ill and would have died without outside intervention (the GW) - it takes something of that magnitude for a Dalish Elf to leave his or her people.
Anything else less than life or clan threatening just isnt going to happen.[/quote]
Then perhaps they provide a reason.[/quote]

Ya see that doesnt actually look like an announcement to me.
That looks like a fan thread like a kajillion of other fan threads basically asking for such and such to be a companion in DA2 - Nathaniel, Anders, etc etc.
Nowhere does anyone actually say in that thead that Merrill is a companion, or an LI; she isnt on the main, and I cant see any Bioware announcements to that effect anywhere else on this bioware sites.
They talk about her as a character in the game that has a relatively large part - a major chracter. But she could just be an NPC for all it appears - to me at least.
And as much you might respect Maria Caliban - and as much as he/she might wish it - he/she isnt a Bioware Employee and a fanthread created by that person doesnt actually count as an announcement.
And David Gaider mentions something about this all being speculation in that thread.
So thats what I am taking that as. Pure speculation.
Sorry.
Until I see something official and definitive I am still going to err on the side of caution on this one. That way I save myself dissapointment if all the hype about "omg super cute merrill" ends up meaning nothing, because of her potentially being a plot device or quest giver.
