She annoyed me her cuteness is a bit forced and her blood magic could not continue. Blood mages have a habit of becoming abominations, she even got her clan chief killed because she just had to deal with a demon. Pity her entire clan had to die though
Hold on a minute there.
Merrill got her clan killed? Merrill got Merethari killed?
Are we playing the same game? If I recall correctly, and I do (cookie points to whoever can guess the game that quote is from), Merrill voluntarily left the clan at the beginning of the game. Merrill was no longer bound by the laws of the clan. And didn't Merrill make a deal with Merethari? A deal to kill the Varterral in exchange for the tool? And didn't Merethari, once Merrill fulfilled her end of the bargain, try to back out by giving it to Hawke instead and urged Hawke NOT to give it to Merrill.
And when Merrill goes up to the mountain in Act 3, Merrill never once speaks with Merethari and tells her we are trying to contact the demon. Hawke has the choice to tell her, but on my first playthrough, I never said a word to Merethari. Merrill walked up that mountain of her own accord, and made preparations should the worst happen so that only Merrill herself would be hurt. She was prepared to die, and arranged it so no one else would be hurt.
Merethari herself opted to become an abomination. Merethari, throughout the game, never once let Merrill or Hawke know, or even hint at the demon and its supposed plan. We don't know what she knows, certainly, but she most certainly doesn't give us any reason to believe her either. Merrill had made preparations, and accepted the possibility. Merethari blindly rushed in and told us a supposed plan at the last minute, without any evidence to support her claim.
That was not what Merrill wanted. She didn't plan it, she didn't expect it. But if things had gone according to Merrill's plan, Merethari would still be alive, Merrill would be either dead or finishing the eluvian, and the situation would've been contained to one person.
But the clan absolutely hated Merrill at this point. When Merrill killed the keeper for being an abomination (something the clan is supposed to do), the first thing they do is blame Merrill for Merethari's actions.
Last I checked, Merethari is a grown up. She is also in charge of guiding the Dalish and helping them recover their lost heritage. Unless the job description changed when I wasn't looking. She can take accountability for her own actions. It was not Merrill's fault any of that happened. Merrill shares some responsibility for the lack of communication between her and the clan, but she is not accountable or responsible for the death of Merethari and potentially the clan.
Retour en haut
I don't remember you being nearly as... blunt as you have been lately. It's great.
