I thought this problem was fixed in 1.03, but it's not.

Is there a way to fix this?

Over 5 post 1.03 full runs done on my end and the quest has worked every time.

Was your save game created prior to the patch? Are you using mods? Are you sure your game patched without problems?

Need more info.

I started this run right after installing 1.03, without any problems. And I'm not using any mods.

Also I should note that the Who Needs Rescuin' quest worked just fine, as it should with 1.03 installed. But the Zevran quest appeared even though I killed him, and the Natheniel Howe quest didn't trigger at all.
Strange.

You can search around; there are plenty of people who don't get Friend or Foe nor her final Questioning Beliefs to ever trigger (or the journal entry shows up, but she only gives generic dialogue when you go to see her). I've personally never even seen them trigger, no matter how I coax Merrill.

The import bugs are known.

Do you have 1.03 installed? The funny is that in my previous playthrough(during the 1.02 patch) all worked fine but the Who Needs Rescuin' quest, but now with 1.03 it's all reversed. Lol.

I had the last Questioning Belief trigger for Merril, but when I went to see her, she only gives her generic dialogue, not the quest dialogue. I have a hunch that this, in part at least, could be due to a mod I use.
(haven't been able to test it this yet, though).

Varcety are you using a dragon age 1 save game import? I've heard of others having a similar problem due to importing corrupt saves from DA1 DLC, etc. If that is the case sadly there isn't much you can do about it. There are community created fixes but that would only apply if you feel like playing through DA1 again.

Yeah, but I don't import. I think they touched a lot of the import flags to fix stuff in 1.03, so it's probably not surprising that it plays differently. You'll just have to ignore it, or go back and play Origins and Awakening in special ways to get the right data (for instance, to get Nathaniel, you either have to let Amaranthine fall, or you have to make sure to have him in the party when you defend Amaranthine and lose access to the keep).

When this came up (again; it comes up every month since release, just about, because it's always been broken in some fashion) a month or two ago, there were plenty of people. Some get the quest but can't talk to her, and some, like me, don't even get the quest. After A New Path or whatever, Merrill checks out for the rest of the game (until the very end).

Bah. Isabela's Questioning Beliefs quest in Act 3 didn't trigger, either. Which means I can't romance her.

This is my buggiest playthrough in DA2. Or any Bioware game, for that matter.
It's frustrating that Bioware just let it remain that way.

I've found that if I have fallen short of full friendship or rivalry before the end of A New Path, that the final conversation scene won't come up for her even if you save the talk with Alistair for after. It is terribly annoying. I wish they would fix this crap.

Playthrough I am on right now has her rivalry at 95 according to the save editor and questioning beliefs is sitting there in my log, but it won't trigger. Spent the past hour looking for a solution because I am fed up with it, but no one seems to have fixed it.

Just a quick tip to anyone still looking .. I fixed this myself using the console. Type runscript zz_mrl_debug then:

1. Rivalry/Friendship
2. Final Stage Friendship or Rivalry

That will trigger the scene that used to bug out and appear when you first started act3. Someday they might fix this right? :)
