If they made a mod where it turned out Hawke was adopted romancing Bethany would technically be ok.
Just saying......

There's more to family than blood. I can't really picture the two of them recieving that revelation and running upstairs to celebrate.

Also, ew. Why am I discussing this in the first place

I don't have a sister, so didn't have this mental block.

Ergo I usually end up romancing Merrill/Liara/Tali/Leliana.

In DA2, Merrill loses. Bioware created a puppy and kicks her for three Acts.

Truer words have never been typed.

Break the cutie! Because nothing makes a character adorable like the spectacle of them suffering horribly.

I was waiting for Merrill's mother to appear just so she'd be hit by a bus killed by a human that Merrill had inadvertently enraged.

Dang it, Maria, not tvtropes!  Another twenty minutes lost.

But that makes Merrill a Woobie Destroyer of Worlds. And those are the best kinds of Woobies.

No. She does seem to be the perfect example of a virgin, however...almost pure.

My sister is nothing like Merrill.

I see what people are saying about the inequality of their status, but within their relationship they were equals in my game. My Hawke didn't like her working on the Eluvian but she continued to do it and Hawke didn't force the issue. This is evidence of a healthy relationship (even if the act of working on it can be interpreted as unhealthy).

As for the human elf thing, yeah it's unfortunate. However, I strongly believe this should not make their relationship "off-limits" as long as their feelings for each other are genuine.

Not for Male Hawke.

She idolizes femHawke however, which makes it too much for me.

Have you never used the Imoen romance mod? It's not my fault that BioWare thinks the best girls should always be related to our character.

Imoen is only your half-sister though...and since the half part comes from the Lord of Murder, by Greek Mythology rules it doesn't even count.

Exactly my thoughts, but nonetheless people got hysterical over it.

And can somebody please ban this mangiraffe fool?

I never really borrowed to romance her, because she acts like a friend of mine who I treat like a sister. However, a friend of mine raised a point that almost horrified me.
At the end of the game, either (SPOILERS) Merrill's clan is wiped out by your hand, or she is exiled from her clan. At the end of the game, Varric says that everyone besides the LI leaves Hawke.
If you don't romance Merrill, what do you think happens to her after the events of the game?

[Gamer Ftw]

She probably wanders around trying to unearth lost lore until a Demon eats her.

[TobiTobsen]

My head!canon says that she left with Bethany to find a baby griffon and eat a cake at least as big as Kirkwall.

You know, Merrill probably has the healthiest attitude toward romance of all the LIs, excluding maybe Sebastian. Isabela and Fenris have commitment issues that include abandoning Hawke for three years, and Anders is... Anders.

[jlb524]

To answer the question: In my first pt (where I was going for Isabela as a romance) I ended up getting a strong bff vibe between my mage Hawke and Merrill as I felt both appreciated having another mage of their caliber to talk shop with. I never got the little sis vibe, or the "I must protect her" vibe, or a "Hawke is too good for Merrill" vibe (considering that when they met, Hawke was no one spectacular yet).

They were just two geeks thankful to find another to geek-out with. This initial relationship based on friendship seemed perfectly equal to me.

[Chugster]

the fact that i adore her VA and was thrilled when i heard Merril speak for the first time ensures i dont thing of her as a sister-type

The idea that insecurities and a poor self esteem immediately disqualifies one from being in a healthy relationship is more than just a little annoying and patronizing.

I need to quote this elsewhere.
