Because she's Elven short and she's young (18-20)? That doesn't equate "kid." And if your mind goes there, that's on you, not on the people who enjoyed the character for many other reasons.

To be fair however its a new engine and the elves are getting a redesign, so I doubt she would look so horrible in DA:I. But her character model in a DA2 was a bit disturbing considering the character was a potential LI. She should have been more adult-looking.



I have to ask, how women and 12 year old boys looks where you are from.

Cameo? If it makes sense, fine. If not, no. I don't like her much anyways.

Merrill was a waste of a perfectly good voice actress.

Something's wrong with you then.

 

That's kind of unsettling (the 12 y.o. boy comment). Mainly because ...why are women required to be buxom with long, luscious hair just to be considered feminine looking? We come in all shapes and sizes. I have long hair and an hourglass figure but that's just one appearance/body type out of dozens. We aren't produced from cookie cutters...

Liara was totally awkward and unfamiliar with humans, and human 's customs in M1. And yet, you don't see people saying how she's dumb and naïve. Everyone knows Liara is smart and I never blamed her because she didn't know another specie. I think people are able to distinct those two different things.

Merril gave many stupid comments, which had simply little to do with simply being unfamiliar to foreign customs, just... logic. She's often totally disconnected from what is happening around her, from reality...


Yeah, if there had been some character growth shown, where she gradually became more savvy and less naive and flighty over the seven game years, I would be less skeptical of how she was written.  But as it is, Merrill is shown to be intelligent at times, and even insightful, but then they make her the "silly helpless young girl" trope again and I can't help but think of the "Sexy Baby" comedienne from 30 Rock...

Look at Hawke's empty dead eyes. He knows his life is over and he is so going to jail for this.

I dont want any previous romantic interest back. Not even my favorite Isabela. Because having them back without being able to play the character they romanced would suck.

I really dont want a repeat of how Leliana was handled. I'm fine with moving on to a new protaganist. Let me keep whatever happy memories I had of the previous installments.

You're tilting at windmills.

I'm not arguing that all female characters should conform to some sort of feminine ideal. In fact I like both Aveline and Cassandra as characters, neither of which are "buxom with long, luscious hair" or particularly feminine looking. One of my favorite characters from A Song of Ice and Fire (a.k.a. Game of Thrones) is also[url=http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Brienne_of_Tarth]Brienne of Tarth.]

My problem with Merrill's appearance is that she looks like a juvenile rather than an adult, which is a little disturbing considering she is one of the potential LIs. Her appearance also isn't helped by being coupled with a naïve and childish personality which only serves to magnify her physical flaws.

I thought the point of her whole character is that she was never naive in the first place, except about elf vs human culture.

Without going into spoilers she had some pretty harsh motivations and knew what she was getting into by pursuing them.

Weird is romancing Merrill.

That 'achievement' should have been called, "Why don't you have a seat over there?

Merrill is one of my more beloved characters. Just an awesome mix of naïve and boldness. Still don't think she needs a cameo, because I am not a fan of brief appearances for nostalgia sake.

I hate Merril for what I perceive as very bad writing and really do not care about her story at all.

Better question elves have a different aging scale if I am right. How old is Merrill in elf years?
