This happened to me too and confused the hell out of me. I had no idea what she was on about. I shrugged it off and later did her quest, then headed back to her home to see what kind of follow up there was. None. Then I hear about this bug and put 2 and 2 together. Worst part is I'm sure the dialog options I chose would have been different had I known what the hell was going on.

For me, she ended up breaking the mirror because she said she realized it was ruining her life. Then about an hour later, I walk into her house and she's pacing about wondering why her mirror wasn't working. I was wondering where my "Because you smashed it, you dull twit." dialogue option was, but then she triggered the quest to go talk to the demon.

After I did all that and killed her clan, there was nothing else with her. The quest was still in my log telling me to go talk to the demon, but there was really nothing I could do as everything on Sundermount was dead as a doornail.

So yeah, quite buggy. Trying things a little differently in my second playthrough to see if things are still bugged.


This is what happened to me. The cutscene after she destroyed the mirror confused the hell out of me. DIdn't you just destroy it Merrill?Posted Image If I think of it as playing after the quest it actually makes a lot of sense.

does the misplaced merrill scene cause any problem with the story? I mean, do her quests still pop up without problems?

Has anyone figured out a way around this bug yet?

I got the misplaced cutscenes and was still able to complete her quests and romance her fully. The only thing bad is that it looks like you can't get her "Questioning Beliefs" after beating her final quest but I managed to make her move in with me. You should be fine but it will feel weird that she cries about something that didn't happen yet but not reacts when that thing does occur. Poor glitchy Merrill:unsure:

I'm glad this is a bug, because I thought she just didn't mind me killing her clan in a slaughterfest. Plus I never got any more dialogue on the mirror. I also never got the girl on the wounded coast to trigger even though i got the letter.

Man, I did that quest and never even got that conversation unlocked.

Annoyingly enough, I never got the cutscene at all.

So I just sort of killed all the Dalish, and besides her going on about how she wanted to wake up from the dream, I was left rather flat.

I heard QA and Tech Design talking about this today. They're very much aware of it, though I have no other information at the moment.


Thank you!

This happened to me too. I got back from a new path and she says ," They're gone all gone! And then she says, "The keeper won't listen to me, she just keeps lecturing me," And the keeper was dead at this point but the clan was safe so it made no sense

Romanced Merrill in Act 2 with max friendship, and popped round to her house at beginning of Act III for cutscene of her distraught yada yada. Went to Dalish camp to see what I had missed, and found everyone alive and grumpy. Looking forward to a patch fix or work around.

You can fix the sequence (if you know about it) using console commands as well. Suggest doing "A talking to" and "on the loose" quests before you run it, since they're automatically marked as complete when you advance Merrill's quest, but then you can use "runscript zz_mrl_debug" to launch the Merrill debugger and change her quest state.

Tried doing this after getting the misplaced cutscene. Didn't work. Perhaps using the debugger before you get the scene will correct it.

In my game Merrill broke the mirror and said I was right all along. Then later when I visited she was obsessed about fixing the mirror and wanted me to take her to Sundermount to go into that cave where the Keeper gets possessed. I thought, "But... You smashed the mirror already and said you were going to get rid of it! There's nothing to fix!"

I can't even get the "a new path" quest to start. The first time I went to visit Merrill in act 3 I closing the crying scene from the end of the quest. As soon as that finishes if I attempt to talk to her I get the scene with Varric. If I speak to her again after that then I get the gift giving scene (the ring).
Any conversations after that don't invoke any kind of response from her.

Hopefully there will be a patch soon. I love DA2, but I have encountered quite a few bugs now, and it's spoiled the experience somewhat.

I have issues with the way DA II is put together, but I don't blame the writing team for bugs (being at least somewhat rational Posted Image). I imagine most of us appreciate the update.

My problem is I just did the quest in sundermount, except I got her clan to exile her, there was no cutscene and now I cant get her to leave my party. It just shows her with a locked icon on the party screen :(

Another question... Who has the bug, and what did you do with the Dalish Tool Thingy With The Weird Name I Can't Remember that Marethari gives you to decide whether or not to give to her?

I withheld the DTTWTWNICR, am not romancing her, have maxed out friendship, and I got the bug.

I'm taking a sabbatical from the game 'till it gets fixed.

I just found out if you get the glitch where you can't get Merrill's quest after her reaction, talk to King Alistair to be able to start the quest.

Well I just did it the other way as well, killed the entire clan, still no cutscene and still cant kick her out of the group. Talk about a huge bug. This is one that needs to be fixed asap :( I dont normally use Merril in my group but now I am stuck with her until something is done.

Can't you remove her by returning to the estate then having a free party? I romanced her and she stayed at the Estate but I never got the lock glitch but I also did the King Alistair quest which I hear is a fix for that problem.

Well I have already done the quest where I met with Alistair, so that doesnt help me. I havent tried going to my estate yet, Ive used the "gather your party" things that are everywhere, but it wont let me switch her out. Ill try the estate in the morning. Im too tired right now :P

I was able to have the romance scene in both my playthroughs thus far which some to be having a hard time with but I do get responses from her that are out of order. Starting act 3 she goes on about an event on Sundermount which I had yet to bring about so I think I'm going to sit on this game until the patch comes out. Besides, I want to do another ME2 playthrough before the next SCL comes out in a week and a half.

I felt like her personal quest ended abruptly in Act 3. It just felt like, "Oh, the keeper was killed."....What about the mirror?! I actually enjoyed when I faught the elves to save Merril from them. Epic sadness!
