Okay, I've waited a bit to see if any Dragon Age threads popped up so I could ask my question, but I haven't seen any and I don't feel like waiting anymore.

I am curious how I can tell if my Dragon Age Keep story transferred correctly into Dragon Age: Inquisition. I did the Keep, made the changes I wanted, saved it, and then clicked that little computer screen on the top right so it now has a green check mark.
However, when I go to the game screen and it asks, "Do you want to import a custom world?" I say yes and it just says, "Importing world..." for a few seconds and then it's done. There's nothing there that says, "Choose this world to import," or anything along those lines.

The reason I want to know is because I care about the story. I don't want to get really far into the game, only to find that the Keep didn't transfer right and that I'm using the "Default World," because I will start over at that point.

Has anyone hit a point in the game where they KNOW for sure that their story transferred? I've had hints, such as Anora being Queen, Anders being alive, and Belhen ruling the dwarves, but for all I know these are the default choices, not my choices. I've also come across something that really made me worry, and that is what happened to Merrill. Varric says that she is with what's left of her clan, and she's keeping them out of the war.
This is not what Merrill should be doing. First of all, I left her clan in tact, so it shouldn't be "what's left." Second, my Merrill was with Hawke, and I thought she'd stay with Hawke. Or is this just something that happens?

Has anyone had encounters or decisions show up that they know worked from their Keep? About how far into the game do I need to get before I come across something? Please keep spoilers to a bare minimum. I'm really looking for just little things, like the blacksmith saying that King Alistar is in charge if you didn't do the Keep, versus Anora if you did the Keep.

Yeah, Merill leaves to help her clan if they survive, even if she was romanced by Hawke in DA2, the earliest point you can really tell about the past choices is by talking to Verric in Haven and asking him about the events in DA2, the best way to check is likely with Anora as the default is Anora and Alistair ruling together I believe, I could tell pretty fast since Fenris was dead in my import, and Varric didn't mention him at all when asked about the DA2 party, default also has the arishok in 2 not dying, so if verric mentions Hawke killing the Arishok, then you are likely using a custom import, although when I went through the keep I think there were a couple preset defaults, so there probably isn't any easy way to tell.

The best verification would be:
When you get to Skyhold and Hawke himself shows up, if you imported you should be able to import your custom face, or talk to him directly in which he will specifically mention his romance with Merill before her leaving in order to help her clan

So yeah, don't worry too much about the Merill thing, Hawke seems to end up alone no matter who he romanced in DA2, dunno about the Warden yet, as it hasn't cropped up in my playthrough, although I am hunting down my version of Grey warden Alistair, so She'll probably pop up soon if she is still with him.

EDIT: sorry, that last paragraph was supposed to be in spoiler tags too.

This is something I would also like to know. I was going through the codex and it said that my Warden died in the battle with the Archdemon, but he didn't. He had the kid with Morrigan.

This seems to cover several ways to check early on (some spoilers maybe):

It didn't save any of my decisions. I picked my characters and then I had to go through all the decisions. It was time consuming.
Hopefully, by the time I'll start my 2nd playthrough someone will make it so you can just import decisions from old save files.

Ah, thank you both. I'm much more relieved now and it seems I can start the game for real. Looking forward to tracking all these people down.
