I hardened + romanced Leliana too. But you have a pretty bad misconception of what hardening did to her personality. It's about accepting who she is, her love of the life of a rogue and a bard that changes. Hell, she argued with my City Elf when he confronted her beliefs about faith in the Maker even AFTER the sidequest with Marjolaine was resolved and never relinquished her beliefs no matter what you said.
It's the difference between serving Divine Justine because she wants to help the Chantry, or because she accepts her skillset and past were valuable to her, and embracing her role as a skilled spy and saboteur as opposed to the repentant, cloistered sister she pretended to be.
Besides, she's traveling with your Warden throughout Acts 1 and 2 and only split up with you at two points during the years following Origins, 1) During Awakening, when she was summoned to Justine to consider serving her and 2) During Act 3 of Dragon Age 2, many years later and I suspect it is while she was away from you during this time that the Warden goes missing mysteriously, with Hawke following suit not a year later.
As for Zevran, well yeah. Bugs can make weird things happen but that's not a writing issue so it doesn't really belong in the argument at all.
The only thing that seems legitimately debatable at all is the change to Merrill. I suspect acceptance of this issue will hang mainly on the balance on if you liked Merrill in Dragon Age 2, or not which is a matter of taste.
Still, she could have just as easily been a new Keeper from a different Dalish Clan instead of the Marethari one which is a valid point. But what would be lost if she had been? Well let's examine that.
I suspect they grabbed Merrill because she was a blank slate that lacked any defined character or personality, and by reusing members of the first game's supporting cast Bioware was able to add a measure of continuity between the games. I happen to think that's a goal worth the minor impact it had on the consistency of her character's portrayal. You could always attribute her seriousness to the stress of the situation with the Mirror and the taint unfolding at the time.
It's a pretty big leap to make, sure, but I think it was worth it and I'm not really budging on that issue at all. My opinion's been made known, now I'm going to go do something more enjoyable with my time than argue with plebians that don't worship the Goddess of Swinging Upon Chandeliers, non-members of the Order of the Green Scarf. Good day sir
