Ms. Kirby

First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on the wonderful work you've done on Merrill. The congratulations actually goes to the whole dragon age team. Dragon Age II really upped the level of NPC interaction in Bioware games from an unparalleled "very good" to "excellent." You were the best NPC writers before; now you're even better, though there's still lots of room for improvement (my only complaint is that I could have used even more banter between Hawke and NPCs, especially love interests). I hope you keep moving in this direction with your future games.

Here's my other comment regarding Merrill. I just finished my first playthrough with a Merrill friendship-romance and I thought it was fantastic. Then I viewed the Merrill rivalrly cutscenes on youtube and I was really taken aback. I felt that as a friend, Merrill never showed so much emotion for Hawke as she did as rival. I guess this isn't really a criticism. Many real people are this way too. However I did feel like I missed out... it was my fault I guess for not realizing that one could romance an NPC as rival as well as friend. I just wished my Hawke had experienced that level of emotional intensity from her from the point of view of a friendship. But perhaps Merrill just isn't that type.

Do you get that option regardless of your friendship/rivalry or can you only kill her if you're a rival so I can plan my playthroughs

Keep Anders. It's designed so you don't lose all your mages right before the last battles of the game.  Keep Anders alive, side with the Templars, don't have Merrill at full friend/rivalry.
