Okay, I maybe wrong in this, but as I remember, Morrigan says that the ritual must be done the night before the battle for it to succeed. Yet it is done in Reddcliffe, which is days away from Denerim. So it is not by any calculations the actual night before the battle, even though in game it is so. The army has to march to Denerim first, and since it is a big army, it will take some time to get there.
So, is this a plothole, something that Bioware forgot to think about, or should we just assume that the battle means also the journey to Denerim? But if Morrigan means the night before slaying the archdemon, then it is a plothole.

Honestly? Until rather late in development, Morrigan approached you in your tent when the army camped the night before reaching Denerim. The extra area was eventually cut and the event moved to Redcliffe Castle. I don't remember if this was done before VO was recorded or not, but it seems nobody really noticed the single line when she says "the night before" afterwards.

How is that a plot hole? She says the Archdemon's essence will seek out the newly-formed child. Regardless of whether or not you like that idea, it's something that is indeed stated explicitly so it's not a plot hole... unless you mean something else when you say "plot hole".aragfore03 wrote...
Makes sense. How about this for a plothole:
If you don't take Morrigan with you to kill the archdemon.... how does the Old God's essence pass into her?
As for the "night before" line -- no, obviously we're not going to change it. It seems like hardly anyone even noticed, so it's not really worth the aggravation of altering now. Insofar on the list of irritating plot alterations caused by last-minute content cuts I'd rank that one pretty low overall.
