what was that dlc setting us up 4 I assumed morrigans child will be the protaganist in a  later DA game but it talked of Flemeth as well and all that she does in DA2 is be alive then fly off never to b seen again. I hate DA2 worst pile of a game ive ever seen why did they change the darkspawn why was that needed? whoi made that choice whoever it was should be taken outside and shot then burnt then peed on. genlocks i can kinda take if they made them the proper colour but the emissaries the alphas the hurlocks the ogres dear god the ogres! and shrieks what happened to them did the elves just dry up?

Wasted potential basically.

So much they could have done and developed from that in the sequel but they went with........Kirkwall instead, eurgh.

You are never going to play as Morrigan's child unless Bioware decides to ****** off even more people by removing gender choice from the character creator.

Because a child can only be one gender?

What?

Morrigan's child is male according to Witch Hunt. As for the point of Witch Hunt, nothing if Morrigan isn't in another Dragon Age game. Then again, she probably will be in another Dragon Age game. Now, there wasn't much in the way of cool consequences to actions from DAO to DA2. So it's easy to not have a lot of faith in that regard for DA3. But I can always hope Bioware will do a good job with Morrigan (and Flemeth) in future games.

Morrigan said the child is a boy.
:bandit:

As to the OP, I think it was mostly a gimme to those players who romanced her.

Because Morrigan tells you in WH that the baby is indeed a boy.

Bah, Ninjahed :ph34r:

I thought that Witch Hunt was very average but I forgave it because I thought that it was setting up events for DA2...... & we all know how that went.

Maybe in DA3? Please bring back Morrigan in a meaningful way!!

Pretty much this. I still remember the supposed 2 years of DLC and post launch support DAO was supposed to get. Instead they killed off future DAO content because DA2 was coming along so great and was bound to surprise and delight everyone. Yeah, ok.

Not that Origins' DLC was anything brilliant but IMO it served as a better foundation than DA2. And on the topic of Witch Hunt, it seemed to me that whole plot line would have been better served as the basis for one last expack for DAO instead of the 1 hour DLC WH was, which only served to raise more questions than answers.

WH did a decent job of providing closure for the Warden that romanced Morrigan at least and I'd hate BioWare to bring back Morrigan unless they've got their import stuff nailed down considering every single Morrigan related import has been bugged to high hell thus far. They should have tied off her plot line  before going into DA2 or by having the Warden playable in DA2 instead of Hawke. At this point I don't necessarily want Morrigan showing up with a new PC or having BioWare marginalize the Warden's choices/consequences with Morrigan by simply shoving her in another game. The Warden (Orlesian or Hero of Ferelden) should be the one dealing with her in the future as they're the one most tied to the big choices surrounding her. Otherwise move on to something different alltogether and don't try to pull an Anders on Morrigan and have her come back in a radically different attitude/form under the guise of character development with a new PC.

Or to those players that hated her and wanted to inflict bodily injury onto her since the end of DA:O.

I wouldn't mind seeing Morrigan (And the Warden if he went with her) showing up as a boss fight down the road. Just kill her and the Warden off for good. Hell, the boss fight could be pretty sweet. If she is alone, she could use her shapeshifting powers. If she is with a warrior or rogue warden, she could provide magic back up and with a mage warden they could use combo spells or tank as a bereskarn while the mage Warden flings spells. It could be a pretty interesting fight that takes your choices into account.

Yeah, no. That sounds terrible.

Although thats pretty much how they've handled Revan in TOR so I wouldn't put it past BioWare to reduce past PCs and companions to crappy boss fights.

this was the whole point of the dlc.
As for Morrigan and the warden showing up as  a boss fight, well that just feels like an obvious and rather cheap cop out.

To give Brockololly and Terra_Ex plenty of material for epic posts in the Morrigan thread.

There is not a damn thing they can really do with Morrigan and the God Baby that will really do it justice because there is a good chance that the baby just doesn't exist. The Warden isn't going to be the PC any time soon, so good luck having him deal with her. As such, Bioware should just write Morrigan out of the story. They could just no longer mention her, but I doubt they will do that and we'll continue to get threads like this one asking for Morrigan back. Therefore, in my opinion, they should set her up as an enemy and have a PC kill her off. I guess they could set her up as an Architect type villain and allow the PC to choose between joining her or killing her, but personally I just don't think she is important enough without the God Baby to bother bringing her back for any important role.

Pretty much. 

Besides that, it was throwing a bone to Morrigan romancers (or haters, I suppose, if you're one of those people who really hate and get off on stabbing virtual characters) combined with advertising for DA2. Which turned out to mean nothing anyway.

I'm not sure if I agree with that.

Morrigan used an eluvian to go...somewhere to gain...some form of knowledge/power to use against Flemeth (for some reason).

She can be relevant without the baby.

The point of Witch Hunt is the awesome bonus items you get for the main game upon completing it.

Other than that, I don't care for it at all. In fact, I've started to really look down on DA:O's DLC in general as of late - I'd uninstall a lot of this crap from my hard drive if not for the bonus items included with them.

And DA2 might be the inferior game... but I'll be damned if its DLC isn't infinitely superior to DA:O's. Too bad BW didn't invest the same amount of time and effort into DA:O's DLC.

Possibly. Personally, the absolute best case scenario that I see happening is Morrigan attempting to set herself up as another Flemeth. The easiest way would be to use the OGB. Without him, I suppose Bioware could throw out some plot twist from the Land Beyond the Eluvian to fill the void the Warden's sacrifice leaves behind. Either way, I can see an Architect type scenario where the PC chooses between aiding Morrigan in overthrowing and replacing Flemeth or opposing Morrigan and thereby aiding Flemeth. The game actually have two different final bosses, Morrigan or Flemeth. The fights themselves could differ depending on choices made. A Morrimancer Warden could aid Morrigan in her fight against the PC. Or Flemeth could, as some people suspect, have a non-Eluvian Warden or Hawke aiding her. Or maybe she just captured them and you can free them or fight them or whatever.

There's plenty of ways they could fit Morrigan in regardless of godbaby status. The witches are certainly relevant to the overall DA story.

Morrigan is a good character and killing her for some stupid reason would be a complete waste.

The point of Witch Hunt was to let the Wardens who romanced her get a decent romance conclusion, which the base game sorely lacked. Also, the money.

The "point" was the end of my Murder Knife inside of Morrigan.
