Anders is Alistair without the whining. In other words, he's perfect.

He didn't get any proper character development in Awakening, and that's a big reason why it'd make sense and it'd be cool to see him again.


Man Did alistair whine...

WHAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAAA...

And in the end he became a drunken emo baby (for me. Could never pick him over the awesome that is Loghain).

I'm hoping "Anders" isn't Anders, but is just a mage who looks exactly like him.

Anders and Alistair are both human men. With the same hair (and eye?) color. That's where their similarities end.
 
Anders whines when you take him to the final battle. Alistair complains when you don't (because I know his plan, oh yes, and he will not take my sacrificial choices away).

Alistair is chaste and makes fun of himself. Anders is probably a bit of a man **** and makes fun of everything but himself and his own desires. Alistair is silly but set on what he considers to be his "duty". Anders only stays with you in Awakening because it's a better deal than what the templars have planned.

Anyway, as much as I love them both, I think it's asinine to say they're so much alike.

I'm thinking people mean they look alike, which they really do. Eye/hair colour, facial structure. But yes their characters are very different. I like them both, in different ways.

We have less than two months before the game is released. I'm guessing that we'll get info in early Feb.


I know that Merrill is taken as a given on these forums because of her appearance in the video, but keep in mind that we haven't officially announced her yet, either. As for the order and number of character announcements to come, for that you will have to wait and see. There is a Plan.

And just to reassure everyone, Mr. Gaider said it's better it may be better than the Cylon plan too. ;)

For example, you can share swords and shields between Aveline and a warrior Hawke, or staves between a mage Hawke and Merrill.

sux, I want an unorthodox, unique companion. Like a genie, or a spirit, or a walking tree or something

You did call her Merrill in her appreciation thread though

Yay for misquoting. I'll fix that - it was from memory so I probably subconsciously filtered out the may part. :P

But yes, let's hope. :)

Yes? I said she's taken as a given on these forums-- it's not as if you guys haven't sussed out that she's in the game. What I'm saying is that the official announcements that get made by Marketing aren't solely directed at the people on these forums, and Merrill making an unnamed 3-second appearance in the last video is not an official announcement for her.

Meaning that, regardless if we want to know who is the mysterious mage companion, Merrill official announcement comes first? :<


That's what I took from it, though I'd like to be mistaken. Eh, some more Merrill screenshots would be nice.

I think we discover things too fast for our own good.

Actually, I have no idea. I'm just trying to head off the idea that this MMC must be the next announcement since you guys "already know" about Merrill.


EDIT: Oops-- I edited instead of quoted. Deleted the original to avoid confusion. Sorry about that, Dhiro! (need coffee)

though in one preview i believe they said merril's specialization was dalish pariah so i guess it would make sense to believe that she'd be a temporary/permanent companion at some point in the game.

Don't worry, it happens :<

Anyway, maybe we'll have luck and the MMC will be the next announcement. I won't get my hopes high, though, new information about Merrill can be good too.

I'm also curious about Bethany and Carver, that they are (temporary) companions has been known for a few weeks, but haven't seen any information about them on the site.

And... the Cylon Plan? o.o

I don't think he's denying. I think Dinosaur Gaider is trying to say that, regardless if we know all the story of Merril's life, marketing-wise she don't exist, at all. She needs to be officially announced first, regardless of what do we know about her.

Thank you!

This is why I hate these kind of threads; people come on (including a well respected forumite demon lady) and talk about Merrill, and Anders, and Nathaniel was the other one like they are absolutely confirmed companions and LIs.

And they completely totally are not.

Yes Merill is in the game but I am yet to see any of the so called "companion confirming" footage or screenshots of her. If I am completely honest given she is the assistant keeper of a dalish clan she doesnt make sense lorewise (given how xenophobic and tightnit the dalish are) for her to abandon her clan to follow some random human (even if he does become the Champion of Kirkwall).
If she is a companion there better be a really strong reason for her to be abandoning her clan; and not a lame ass Flemeth-Morriganesque "you need to go to learn all you can" excuse. That kind of thing would make me not want to get her as a companion.

And the people talking about "I totally saw Anders in the trailers - he is totally an LI".You dont know that. I didnt see Anders anywhere in any of the trailers.

I really wish people would stop talking about things (complaining or praising) as if they are officially confirmed for dead cert when they arent. Eugh.

It would be great if Merrill pulls a Mhairi on us 10 minutes after her appearance. Heck, I'd love for it to happen just for the lul from watching the drama it'll create on the forum.

I dunno. That sketch in the book does bear a resemblance to her. Unless we end up getting her twin sister Cerrill...
