Yeah. I mean, yes, she's adorable and her social naivety is kind of endearing.

But as the game wore on, I was done being her friend. I was done telling her that everyone else was wrong and it was okay that she was a blood mage because no one was going to get hurt. That's what you had to say to her to be her friend. She's right and everyone else is wrong. Obviously, she knew best.

But that wasn't real. It wasn't right. An entire clan got slaughtered because she couldn't accept that maybe she was doing the wrong thing. That maybe every other blood mage in that Maker forsaken city falling to demons, and becoming warped and evil was a freaking sign. It stopped being naivety and fell FAR into willful ignorance after about the end of Act I. And I was done with her. Cute accent and mannerisms be damned.

It's even worse if you played the Dalish Origin in the original game because she was freaking there to see that the eluvanen killed Tamlen and destroyed Mahariel. She saw how much damage it did and she still wanted to try and say that it wasn't anything bad?

NO. NO THANK YOU, MERRILL. SIT DOWN. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT 200 SOVEREIGNS.

*cough* That's what I have to say about that.

Wait what, the whole clan gets murdered? In my play-through only the keeper died so I never assumed there was a different outcome. :|

I have heard it can be persuaded out that way, but in most outcomes, everyone in that clan dies.

[identity profile] october-miss.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
i think they clan only dies when you tell merrill that she really fucked up, which i did, because frankly, she didn't deserve any sympathy in that moment.

sorry for the typos :(

[identity profile] archerstar.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, because I tried to talk them down (I think my persuade skills just didn't pass the check) and I still ended up having to kill all of them for that...blood mage.

Yeah, I'm still a little bitter.

[identity profile] october-miss.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
me too. especially when you consider that you just killed your dalish wardens clan, due to merrills stupidity. it's not even that i outright hate merrill, i just really wish that the game gave you the option to persuade her to see how just how dangerous the mirror is and how much harm it could bring...

same with anders really.

I've found that the only way to NOT slaughter the Dalish Clan is to pick the "I take responsibility" option when the hunters confront you. Everything else I tried led to having to kill them all. :(

if you put the blame on Merryl and tell the clan you'll take her away from them forever, they let you leave without attacking you.
