Gaider said that the dark ritual was the most important choice in Origins. So I hope we get to see the consequences of it.
We will. Eventually.
Just not in DA2....
I have to second Bryy's "And - ?" What, exactly, is your point? I'm sure it's hard moving on, but people kind of need to come to grips with the fact that the Warden's story and Morrigan's story is on the backburner for now. You don't need to like it or embrace Hawke if you don't want to, but it's time for another hero in Thedas to have his/her moment in the sun. Everyone's pointed out that DG said we'll get our answers eventually, just not right away. Patience, anyone? Meanwhile, if you want to deprive yourself of what could very well be a good story that's your right.
I loved the Dark Tower series, but do you know how long it took for Stephen King to get around to the final books? YEARS! I even wrote a paper related to the Dark Tower & references to one of the main characters in other King books because I loved it THAT much (yes, Stephen King is a weakness of mine - I like horror, so sue me <.< ). Even after the last books of the Dark Tower were out, it was only a couple of years after their release that I finally read them. You're talking about waiting somewhere around 25+ years to find out what the ending to a story was. And you know what happened when I finally got to read that ending? I didn't get the kind of closure that I wanted (or thought I wanted).

The main character, Roland, didn't even get the answers that HE wanted. Roland wanted to reach the top of the Tower, thinking he would find out what was up there and would be able to question whoever/whatever was in the room at the top. However, when he went through the final door, he found himself on what might be described as a karmic hamster wheel. He appeared to be doomed to repeat his life over and over, experiencing every mistake/failure/choice he made during the course of his quest to reach the Tower. That being said, there was a note of hope implied when he recovered his father's horn that he had thought lost forever. However, if anyone expected some sort of conventional ending with everything explained & Roland finally happy - that's not what any of us got (the story really ended exactly where it began: in the desert
).
Ultimately, it didn't bother me, because it was an ending even if it wasn't the one that I wanted. I understood that it was the author's right to tell his story, not mine to make demands about what I wanted from him, demands that he create a "happy" ending and tie up all the loose ends. Honestly, I think people do just need to display a modicum of patience. You might wait a couple of years for and ending to the Warden's tale, but I doubt you'll be waiting 25+ years for it (and even if you did, I would hope it's because the franchise is still amazing & going strong
).
