A few problems I have with that:
1. Why would the girl be part Archdemon? The whole point of the ritual was so that the UNTAINTED spirit of the old god would go into the child. The Archdemon was the TAINTED spirit.
2.
"One of the first things you'll notice about the Dragon is that it is a very big, and very impressive looking. Clearly not an ordinary dragon."Ordinary dragons aren't "very big" or "impressive looking?" This one is just totally subjective.
3. It hasn't been confirmed, per se, but it's been heavily hinted that this game is not "YAB" (yet another Blight) or even about Darkspawn. If I remember correctly, it's more about the character's personal journey and not so much about defeating a world-threatening baddie.
Just about the only point it makes that seems reasonable is that she is connected to the dragon somehow. The imagery with the same head angles and the horns and whatnot seems pretty clear. And I will say that for us to be "shocked" when we learn who the girl is (as the devs have said we would be), that implies that it's someone we will recognize, by reputation at least. The only names I can think of that would fit would be Flemeth in a new body or Morrigan or Morrigan's god-baby. And of those three choices, I think the most likely is Flemeth, because:
1. Her whereabouts are unknown, whether you "kill" her for Morrigan or not, so no plot holes from not doing the DR
2. She's too impressive a character not to be used in some way
3. (Okay this one's mostly wishful thinking...) Flemeth could easily be a more general villain for all players, whereas Morrigan + the baby are pretty closely linked to the Grey Warden, and I can't imagine them doing that to Morrigan romancers...bringing her or the baby back but in a game with no Warden. I just barely got my head around the concept that I'd have to wait for some DAO DLC to finish that storyline...that would be torture. BW couldn't be that evil. They just couldn't. Could they?
