I'm well into Act 3; have finished all Merrill's companion quests, have been VERY nice and supportive of her--gave her the Arulin holm, completed A New Path etc.  I got all sorts of friendship points but it seems that on the friendship scale, I'm stuck about in the middle with no chance to romance her. Any help would be very  appreciated.

Having a hard to impossible time romancing her aswell, only been nice to her and done things she has liked. Reloaded on every rivalry gain. Last 3 visits with her in act 2 i havent got a single flirt/heart answer. Getting silly...

[Eventide]

I think her entire questline is bugged, I remember getting rivalry for giving her that Dalish artifact/ring and several other instances that make absolutely no sense.

Sorry friend, I found Merrill .... not attractive.

However, having sucsessfully romanced another character I can tell you this,

if you always clicked on the romance option during dialogs with Merrill, then the romance will happen to you via cut sences and incedential dialog. It is not an acitve endeavour.

Again, I base this on the successfull romance of another character. Whenever I had a 'heart' dialog option, I took it. Then as the game progressed into Act 3, the romance just happened in a kind of side note way.

Perhaps someone else can give a more Merrill specific responce.

You get the first flirt when you go to her house for the first time in Act 1. Continue to be nice to her and when you get her to about 50% friendship and do her Act 2 quest, go to your house at night and speak with her there.

If you're at Act 3 and haven't slept with her, I think you've missed your chance but I might be wrong.

There's one part of her questline that's bugged and it has nothing to do with the romance.

If you're on a companion's rivalry path, all the gives you give them will give you rivalry points.

I can't remember if there was anything special i did. Just told her she's pretty at every opportunity and did her personal quest and handed her the artifact thingy

[Cedon]

I just flirted with pretty much everyone and then after sleeping with Isabella slept with Merril and we became lovers, didnt find it hard to do at all.

[Montana]

I had no problems romancing Merril, just flirted with her at every oppurtunity and got her to 100% friendship.

I managed to get her rivalry to 100 when I turned down her quest.
She then pursued me at home, we had sex and she asked to move in. Although I did not think much of her costume change when she moved in...

[MrAndree]

You need to be friends (or rival I guess) with her, always pick the romance option (there is only 1 or 2 before her quest), don't really romance anyone else. Do her quest in act 2, and then go home at night, she will show up at your house and kinda jump you. Then happily ever after.

[Maelora]

Got it first time, it's really not hard.

You just messed up somewhere.

[mcsquared2]

On my second playthrough, I was very thorough and was able to romance Merrill in Act 2. Thanks for the help everyone!

Me too! I accidently romanced her, by trying to be nice, I was at full rivalvery, and she wanted to move in! I don't "do" mages who flirt with demons.. I restarted. She is NOT attractive at ALL to me, IMHO.

This is the game trying to help you along. You'll notice that almost any romance / friendship once you get it started to friend / rival direction, it's going to try to keep moving there. For example, if you have a rivalry romance with someone, they won't suddenly gain frienship points because you treat them nicely. That would just screw it all up.

Anyway if you're having trouble, use the console to force the friendship / rivalry scale to where you need it. And if you don't have the game on PC, well, that's why I do.

Some of these days someone's gonna have to tell me how they end up accidentally romancing anyone. I mean, I didn't get that with Zhevran in DAO and all the homophobes who claimed it happened by accident. And I get it even less now when there's an obvious frigging glowing heart icon, as if you couldn't tell from the tone of speech following that choice. Is it some country where your typical western mating and dating customs are completely reversed? How can a person not KNOW they're leading the discussion on to a romance?

Not trying to be a jerk here btw, I just seriously do not get it. What, you're all flirting and kissing and sharing gifts, maybe having a bit of sex, and then suddenly when she goes "let's move together", you go "whoa! hey I thought we were just buddies you know, I'm not like into you at ALL b**ch!"?

well, i had FULL RIVALRY with her. i did everything to dissuade her from her mirror and blood magic, but everything i said seemed to say i care about you, not i hate you. that was funny because i did. before the cutscene,(still at full rival)  i had the option to tell her that its just not right and i worry about her- or something of the sort- and i only clicked one heart icon, because the other option was just plain mean- the cut scene started and there ya have it. 

[Talladarr]

I've romanced her in two playthroughs just fine. The thing is, you can't have ONLY friendship+'s. becauser yo ucna have a Rivalmance too. I think it's actually necessary to have a combination. I've never had a problem romancing anyoen I've weanted to

Merrill is a wily seductress.

I planned to romance Isabela my first playthrough but flirted with Merrill once. Then she popped up at my house with those sad little puppy-dog eyes.

"I don't deserve you..." "Some of use might worship you from afar..."

I don't have a heart of iron, you know. And I certainly couldn't dump her after we had sex.

[Jester12]

So.. i guess that makes me a terrible person for dumping her after sex? I felt bad for Isabela the first time lulz

[Tainan7509]

Merrill is like a 16 years old girl.

[Montegue1]

I romanced both of the ladies in my group - the Pirate by the end of act one, and Merril was my permanent lover in act III.

[LobselVith8]

You need to get up to 50% in Friendship or Rivalry in Act Two, and she'll be at the manor. That's when you can romance her. I believe it's the same for the other companions as well.

Yes.

[HTTP 404]

it seemed way easy when I was a dick to her. Romanced her up and then dumped her. Felt bad but I didnt think it was going anywhere. lo and behold she wanted something more. o wells. Maybe she has that abusive relationship complex. The rivalry romance on her is...interesting.

what he said also don't forget to pick some flirt options. i'm not sure but i think you only need to flirt with her once but just in case do 2/3 flirts.
