TheMadCat you are constantly and conveniently leaving out the part where if Morrigan did finish the ritual with Rioldan, why did any Grey Warden die? Really its pretty straight forward, Grey Warden die when the Arch Demon was slain = no ritual God Baby. You cant convince otherwise and this nonsense about the essenses lingering about etc... please how convenient it doesnt linger around and kill the grey warden first when you do the ritual yourself with Morrigan, but does kill the grey warden and linger about when / if she did it with Rioldan...? Please pulling at strings. Cant be both people, either or.
As I said we don't know every little detail about the ritual. You've missed the point here. It's assumed that it can't be done but there is no concrete evidence anywhere in lore that would completely prevent them from seeking this route if that is indeed what they so choose. This is my point, everything about it is so vague. Obviously everything I say could be complete BS, perhaps not. I don't write the rules, I don't write the lore. The only things we no for sure about it is she must be impregnated within a few days prior to the death of the Archdemon, magic is involved though what type is unknown, and that she doesn't have to be anywhere near the Archdemon to pull in it's essence. That's it really, nothing else is set in stone and people like me and you go through these mental gymnastics trying to see what can and can't be done based on the lore.
And like I said, I dont want a sequel this way, the whole god baby thing has been played already and would be extremely unoriginal and tired.
On the general subject we agree completely, and I think people are missing that about my posts. I'd prefer not to go into the demon child story, backtracks to much and just steps on almost every major choice we made in the last 10 hours of the game. If you are hellbent on going a certain route then don't give the players the ability to completely swerve around them. As for cliche, fantasy itself is cliche. Cliche doesn't equal bad however, nor does cliche have to mean been there done that. How it plays out, the little details in between if it's well written and well played I've got no problem with that notion. It's like making a pasta dish. You've probably had pasta a thousand times in your life, rather cliche so to speak. If I cook it up a way you've never had it before all of a sudden it becomes new, fresh, interesting. Point being just because the general idea has been done before, doesn't mean it's not something that can't be fresh and exciting.
At the same time now I'm also being a realist. You don't set up something THAT big and leave several epilogues open to serious interpretation simply to let it go, on top of the fact Gaider has said the story of Morrigan isn't quite over. So logic dictates that this is indeed the next chapter of the story. How, when, where, why are all speculation at this point. But it's rather obvious that somehow, someway, this is going to be heavily involved in the next chapter of the story. All I've tried to do, and perhaps it's nothing more then an attempt at self assurance, is to find and see weather or not it can be done without going back and kicking down 3 of the 4 possible major endings. To me it seems they left themselves enough room and the question remains weather or not they want to tackle the extra work. Perhaps my examples are poor, perhaps not. The examples have never been the sole point of my posts though, rather pointing out that there is an opportunity for them to allow our major choices to stick and continue on with what appears to be the next logical step in the story.
