Merrin (Possible Spoilers)

[Moving Shadow]

I guess I didn't really understand the point of her being in the game? If she was just an enemy you faced on Dathomir, then fine, that makes sense. But why does she join you?

After she joins you, she essentially does nothing, and is just a background character with a few dialog options. She seemingly abandons her people, who she is clearly passionate about for a complete stranger. She barely helps you at all in your fight against the Jedi, almost as if she's just waiting to see who gets the upper hand, then chooses a side. Then after you recruit her, then return to Dathomir, she says she will wait at the ship, knowing you're about to go and slaughter countless numbers of her people, but says nothing about this? It feels like they had bigger plans for her character, but for whatever reason, decided not to expand on it.

I really liked her character, she was witty and playful in a way. She was clearly very interested to learn new things, and I would have love to seen more about her powers, but if just felt like her entire part in the game was just tacked on as an after thought.

I think she is a main campanion or playable character for FO2. Cal and Mer will be building their own orden.

This was also my thought. I think they were seeing how well FO did, then now a sequel has been confirmed, they might find more use for her. Or possibly, she may not be in it at all. It may pan out that she just went home.

Ha, that she is.

She is nice but it term of lore she is BS. What came to my mind when I saw her was that the writers had so little imagination that they have put a female Shang Tsung into the game.

I was half expecting to see Raiden showing up at some point.

Don't mean to rain on ya parade, but I don't think Cal is her type.

This is what I mean. They wanted something like this in game, but had no idea what they wanted it to be.

I just hope they wont make Cal and her into a forced relationship.. I mean, optional would be fine but they really dont fit at all XD I do really like her tho and dont mind her

I mean, they fit pretty well. Fairly similar backstories. Lore-wise, she fits into Star Wars just fine. But yes, seeing as she had so little development this game, I'm guessing they're going to introduce more in a sequel.

I agree with this. Can't really follow your own path if you're being directed.

I really do hope so.

You're overthinking it.

Not at all. It was right there, you couldn't miss it. If you did, then you weren't paying attention.
