Yes you could, but you couldnt stop her from showing up in redcliff and offering you the darkritual. She doesnt die, so why wouldnt you want to track her down? I'm sure she has tons of interesting secrets
Unless you hate her because she offered to sleep with your beloved Alistair. *sigh*
That's not that great of a reason. The only reason you would need to find Morrigan is because she has the OGB.
What about killing her? That's why my Warden wants to find her. He considers even proposing the Dark Ritual to be a monstrous and unspeakable betrayal, for which Morrigan needs to meet her end. Death to all malificarum and all that.
Really? That's now how I'd think of it. I'd think you met this strange lady whose mother saved your life and who led you out of the Wilds. You didn't trust her, so you told her to go home. You see her again and she proves that you were right to distrust her, and you say you have no interest in her little ritual and she leaves, just a power hungry witch.
There's no reason to kill her, no reason to waste your time hunting her down--you could be a King or a Queen, and why kill Morrigan of all of the evil people in the world? You know next to nothing about her and you have little reason to care.
That's one scenario.
Another scenario is that you didn't kill Zevran--as many chose not to--and he is the love of your life and in danger from the Crows, whom you must defeat/take over to protect.
That's another.
My original point being that a Zevran DLC is not invalid. You can see that, right?
Oh absolutely, I fully support a Zevran DLC if possible. Though I prefer expansion-based models to DLC-based models of content distribution. I was just suggesting why a character with no interest in Morrigan-romance could still seek to find her. It wasn't meant to be comprehensive.

Alright... The point is this... Morrigan is up to no good, she is trying to take over the world for all we know, and the warden's hear about it, so you go in to investigate. Maybe you have no desire to kill her or whatever, but you are their to resolve whatever issue has arisen. It's a mission... and if your Warden doesn't desire to do that mission... I'd say don't buy the DLC...

That's not that great of a reason. The only reason you would need to find Morrigan is because she has the OGB. The other poster was arguing that a DLC for Zevran wouldn't work, since you can kill him. Well, you can have next to nothing to do with Morrigan, either.
Also, I like how you make that assumption. That because I am expressing hesitance over this DLC being the final one and because I am a girl, I love Alistair, and that must mean I hate Morrigan for sleeping with "my beloved".
Nice.
She offers you the Dark ritual! and old god baby? she vanishes after the blight. with a child!
Jez I dont understand why your so upset about it.
It doesnt matter what you or I think. This DLC will sell great on the xbox live marketplace. More than any Zevran DLC thats for sure.
No one is saying there shouldn't be a Morrigan DLC. I have yet to see anyone post that.
The request for other companions (Zevran, Alistair, Sten, whoever...) is not being proposed instead of but in addition to the Morrigan DLC. I mean... you're getting what you want. Is there some reason those of us whose favorite companions are being left out shouldn't be free to express some disappointment?
What I've said here (and most others, if I'm recalling correctly) is not that it's bad that BioWare is putting out a Morrigan DLC, but that it's bad there will be no more DLC after this, particularly when we were led to believe there'd be another year (plus or minus) for other companions to be featured as well.

I'm not sure if I have the energy to repeat everything that I've been saying, which boils down to, I'm not upset, I'm not demanding more DLC, I would simply like to see closure for Wardens who did not romance Morrigan, since this is the last DLC. Morrimancers get closure and their own DLC, and I would simply like for other Wardens to feel the same sort of send-off in my favorite game of all time.
Not a whole new DLC for them, just the same sort of closure that is not a paragraph in an epilogue card.
Zevran lovers could travel with him.
and Leliana lovers do the same or remain in court.
Morrigan lovers? Hmm yeah she runs of with a old god in her womb not telling us her plans with the accient power. Saying never follow me again. ( There so many questions there which need anwsered. )
Its kind of a harsh way to get kids to use condoms.

Yes, Witch Hunt is the final DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, and imo a great send off to an awesome game.
What happened to "2 years..."? Dragon Age 2.
I hate to be cynical, but I suppose this means we can no longer believe a word BW says. Apologies to Chris as he is just the messanger.

Plans change. It is a little disappointing, but obviusly things didn't work out the way Bioware intended.

It just feels like this is the conclusion the story of men who romanced Morrigan.
Consider this:
If you're looking on this only from the romance perspective, out of all the romances in Dragon Age Morrigan's is the only one you never get any personal closure on. Not even a little bit. I understand wanting more from Alistair, Zevran and Leliana but you do at least get something from them... whereas from Morrigan you get nothing (albeit for very good reasons).
So for those men who romanced Morrigan, you might want to cut them some slack.
That said, that's not the only reason to do this DLC-- I would think many people would be curious as to what the future holds regarding Morrigan. And, yes, it takes all the various ending states of Origins into account. And, yes, in case anyone's wondering I wrote the Morrigan part.
So does that mean if you didn't kill Flemeth and lied to Morrigan, is she going to be really pissed off at your character?
The thought of an angry Morrigan frightens and intrigues me.

That may be true, but BW said only some weeks ago that they are going to continue releasing DLCs after DA2. About that time they already knew they will stop DAO I am sure. It is really sad.
Well, I wonder if things with DA2 are working out the way BW intends. I doubt that. Most of the German players at gamescom were disapointed about what they saw.

Again, you're blowing things out of proportion.
This DLC is clearly going to be far more fulfilling for people who romanced Morrigan. For all we know, it's going to end with Morrigan running off or you running off with her. So that means that Morrimancers get the closure they desired and a DLC. The rest of us won't get that sort of closure to their character--not the same satisfaction. All I'd like to see is a cutscene with your romance interest or a favorite companion or something at the end of the DLC. This is the end--I want it to feel as good for everyone, not just Morrimancers.
I have not said I don't want to see this DLC--quite the contrary, in fact. I loved Morrigan, she was my sister, and I definitely want to see what becomes of her and my game-husband's child. I am emotionally invested in this as well.

There is no way a Zevran DLC makes more sense then this DLC. No matter how much you try to reason it out, it doesn't work. Purely just because Zevran can die, Morrigan can not... Period.
I think you're not seeing the point, which is Morrimancers get closure and their own DLC, but Zevran lovers do not.
You also can kick Alistair out of your party, the last child of Theirin, and you have plenty of reason to seek him out. But no one is asking for a Drunken Alistair Search DLC. People would like the same treatment across the board. Me, I'm not even asking for a DLC just for Zev or just for Alistair. Just a cutscene, a conversation. Just one cutscene at the end of the game for closure.
That's it.

Since your warden can be imported from Origins or Awakening does that mean that you can import the warden from Golems of Amgarrak. I certainly hope so.
I would think so but I was wondering this also but from a chronological standpoint. If WH is after GoA then it can finally put to rest all the people I hear in real life screaming about the ending cinematic.

Your lucky BioWare didnt decide to make DA2 about Morrigan, Flemeth and the god baby. Which they could of easily done. Be thankful its just a DLC if you hate her so much.
AND BEFORE YOU START RANTING. BioWare could of made the god baby a canon for DA2, even if you refused the DR.

As far as DLCs go, I think this is a fitting chapter to close out this portion of the Warden's journey. We've heard rumor that the Warden may make an appearence (some how) in Dragon Age 2, so this may not be the diffinitive end for the Warden's story, just in the frame of Origin's and Awakening if your Warden was alive to see the events of the later expansion. As mentioned, I know some fans felt let down at not having more DLC to look forward. I, for one, am quite happy that the DLC is coming to a close.
Frankly, DLC for games is getting a bit out of hand. I get that people want replay value in thier games, but there comes a point where things just start feeling tacked on, regardless of the quality. Also, one must recognize that not everyone can run out and drop even a few buck on expanded game content, whether because they're out of work at the time or due to the fact that they've got pesky things like Rent, Utilities, Car payments, and the unfortunate need to eat. Combined, these factors can force some players to, in esscence, miss out on alot of expanded content.
Keeping the number of DLCs small (such as with Fallout 3) helps ease the frustration of not being able to access new content right off the bat. So, I applaud BioWare for this choice. I hope loyal fans of the series can enjoy the forthcoming DLC and not rage against or think poorly of BioWare for making what was likely a very difficult decision.
