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.
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.
