#is she the ideal choice? nah but she’s the only logical option within those circumstances

it really is sad that Merrill doesn't fit in DA:I. she set up that entire game. she is so crucial. she is a keystone character of this series. but it honestly just does not work for her to join the Inquisition. at most she'll ally with them if they meet certain conditions but that's IT.

#OOC / HOLLY. #she wouldn't touch the Inquisition with a 30 ft pole and rubber gloves #she loves Varric and if the Inquisitor is elven esp Dalish she is more inclined to give them a chance #but just. the mere concept of the Inquisition. the whole thing. *nah* #like I see the appeal of arcane advisor AUs and I don’t disdain them or whatever #but there’s no way in hell she’s sharing her hard won knowledge of eluvians with this bargain bin Orlesian Chantry #‘but they’re not —‘ yes they are. look at me in the eyes. yes they are #the Chantry has stolen and destroyed enough she will not give them this #also the Inquisition didn’t know shit about eluvians until Morrigan brought hers #and she joined the Inquisition with ulterior motives #I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that she makes the most sense in the position #is she the ideal choice? nah but she’s the only logical option within those circumstances #and the Inquisition didn’t even recruit her! the Orlesian court sent her with you like a loaded party favor! #and that storyline did have consequences for her and for us #so yeah it makes sense we got Morrigan #also while I like to point how scary the Inquisition is and how far they overreach and how it’s justified for people not to like them #I will also point out that they’re literally the only ones stepping up in this crisis and trying to help people #in the right hands they can be a force for great good #it’s jusy they can be a source for great evil in the wrong hands #just*
