Hi... here's my act 3 issue (copy-paste):

"Can anyone help? I'm in Act 3. Isabela is stuck in Hawke's living room standing next to my writing desk. When clicked on, all she says is her usual bar room talk (do I need a bath, let's do something fun, etc.). I've tried going to the house during different times of day. I've tried clicking on her repeatedly. I've tried visiting her at the bar.

No luck.

I tried looking for answers on the forum, but without the search function it is harder to find answers.

Can anyone help?

I've given her both gifts, I'm 100% friends with her, and I've flirted with her at every opportunity... She hasn't moved in or anything--so I'm not sure what she's doing always standing at my writing table.

Please help!"

Thanks,
earthborn :)

I had same thing but my problem was Merrill would only stand by the dog, and i called actual customer support and this what they told me and it did fix the problem if you are playing it on the 360 you need to exit the game go to system setting then memory and clear the cache. i know you as a hardcore RPGer also you probably tryed it already but thought I would try to help sometimes we forget to try the easy things first

I tried clearing the cache and it didn't work. :-(

Thanks for the suggestion though. :-)

There is a flagging issue in Merrill's companion quest. At the beginning of act 3, when you go to talk to her, you actually end up with the final dialogue of her companion quest long before you can actually even begin it.

Also it appears, for whatever reason, her romance doesn't quite flag properly and the game believes your with Isabella even if she had left permanently with the idol in act 2.( I should also add, I never flirted or even touched anything romantic with Isabella, in fact I used her maybe twice the whole game gaining literally no friendship or rivalry.)

The quest "Who needs saving?" does not activate properly. You go to the bandit camp only to have a blond bandit spawn behind you and cannot be interacted with, nor does any cut scene play.

I've had a few more, but I can't remember them as of now.

At the start of Act 3 when I go to visit Merrill, the cutscene plays out of sequence showing the ending to her Act 3 personal quest. If I talk to her again it plays the scene with her and Varric. I'm also on the romance path with her if that effects anything.

Hey, I've tried to replay twice from a save right before Arishok encounter in Act II, but each time after, Isabela cannot be selected from the party menu in Act III, despite her showing up with the tome (or book, the artifact thing), stating it's because of my influence or something, and then i duel the Arishok over her, and win. Oh yeah, we had a romance and little companion relationship buff.

Note: I went to find the artifact first, incase that mattered.

I've completed the tasks set forth in "On the Loose," and am now supposed to return to Knight-Commander Meredith.

Problem is, I can't seem to get back into the Templar hall. It's up the stairs in front of the entrance to the Gallows, right? There's no zone marker there to click on. Being that this is a main quest, I guess my progress is halted.

Edit: found that the entrance is the door to the left, not the middle gate.  I still cannot get in, however.

Double Edit: Scratch it all.  I cleared my 360's cache and the issue went away.

I also have Isabella stuck in Hawke's estate with a exclamation point above her head.
When I entered the house there was a quest for the dog that activated right when I walked in. I'm assuming Isabela was supposed to start a cut scene right when I walked in but I think the dog quest messed it up. I now have her stuck next to the desk and cannot do the quest that she was supposed to give me. Please fix this Bioware, it seems like the bonus content broke an important part of the game. Very annoyed that I got the Signature edition and actually have less content because of it. Please fix.
This is in Act 3 and I had already spoken to Isabela in the Hanged Man once. Believe I have an active romance with her.

Oh man that's what that was?

Now I'm actually kind of mad over that. :lol:

I sort of sat around and wondered for the longest time what the heck Merrill was doing not talking to me after the Keeper had been killed. 

This is a very very awkward Bug. It also makes her mirror dissapere as she puts it away of course after her last quest is completed. The problem however is that in Act 3, if you're in a romance with her you have another quest to actually go to her in your mansion and talk to her.

Later you will see Varric chatting with her in her house talking about how she keeps coming back to this place and should tell Hawke where she's going so he doesn't worry. I feel this is attachted to the quest "A New Place" which involves the fact that she keeps going back and forth between the mansion and her house. 

The PROBLEM is however is that when you go to her house to seek her out the cutscene for the end of her companion quest, after Merethari dies triggers. Long before you may even do that quest. Then the next time you speak to her, Varric talks to her in the cutscene I previously mentioned. She then turns to you and talks about the mirror, with it not there in the corner at all.


So yeah... please fix this bioware! It's very awkward and weird.

I am having an issue with Isabela at my writing desk after finishing on the loose. I even went to an old save and tried that but no luck. No any luck with clearing the cache. I have an active romance. (I think) Are you guys even paying attention to this forum?

I had the same problem. It's kind of annoying me now. Bioware, can you help us with this problem?

Now with the pride unbound quest I cant even finish it... All my quests are broken. I'm not joking. Pride Unbound I killed the demon but can't leave the dungeon. I can't even start Faith, Favor and Fault or any other quest....I just lost 7 hours of work. I went back to my start of year 7 save and everything was fine but any other save I can't complete quests.....I don't even know if I want to play this game anymore. Seriously I am already thinking about a trade in because of this. This is stupid.

Well, don't give up just yet. I would wait until Bioware releases the patch. If that doesn't fix it, then I'll probably trade it in for another game.

Here's their problem. They let a beta version come out as a final release and now they're all scrambling like Oh crap, everything is screwed. We need to fix this. and then one month from now well get a patch at which everyone who originally bought the game probably won't even care. I don't know. Just some acknowledgement from them on the issue would go a long way to smoothing things over but it's like they're only looking at the real obvious problems or easy solutions

I know what you mean. I'm just hoping that they aren't responding cause of more important things.

Well since this was made by a developer I think they're more or less using it to make a master list of things that need to be fixed. Aside from assurances that they're fixing bugs there's not a whole lot else they can offer us right now.

Frankly my biggest concern is that bug for Merrill's quest. Not only is it a spoiler but it kind of ruins the end of her quest.

the quest where Merrill asks you to go in a cave to ask that demon for help, and killing the keeper, i did that, reloaded every single time to try all the possible conversations, i move to the exit, wait for the save thing to fade, and even then if i exit the zone i get sent back to the title screen saying the zone (Sundermount) cannot be loaded. clearing cache didnt help either. nor did restarting the console.

The Rescuing Nathanial Quest isn't appearing, Daliah isn't appearing, even though I saved him in Awakening and he survived the battle. This really suck for me because i passed up on the fools gold quest as you can only do one or the other. Probably not fixable but thought the devs should know.

When you uploaded your save from Origins did you make sure to select the save from Awakening and not the Origins main game?

I've also had the problem with Merrill's companion quest post-dialogue appearing right away, followed by the one with Varric talking to her.

You have to talk to her in the Hanged Man before you can take her in your group in act 3

I have noticed that after the "On the Loose" quest when ever i access darktown - night it takes me to the darktown during the day

I think i got it wrong and that there is not meant to be a night time darktown,

Same issue, loaded the last Awakening save and I know he lived since it was in the epiloge, but I got Fool's Gold but didn't do it since you can only do one. A woman I think is Delilah showed up near the Chantry, but no quest available.

Yep.  Exactly what happened to me.  Their was a dog quest happening as well (burglar).  I guess the game freaked out.  I tried playing through to see if I could get the romance achievement at the end, anyway... but no luck.  Without her unlocking her final quest, I'm out of luck.
