I'm thinking Morrigan's son can actually be an optional party member in a future Dragon Age game. He'll only appear if the Warden romanced Morrigan and declined the Dark Ritual or if the Dark Ritual was done.
If Morrigan's son resulted from the Dark Ritual then he gets an optional powerup ability that improves the power of his spells. I.E. he taps into his 'old god soul' for a temporary power boost.
Why can't he [OGB] appear in the way you are suggesting if the Warden didn't romance Morrigan (for reasons like being a woman or a gay man) but went ahead with the Dark Ritual and the father was Alistair or Loghain.
I think variable appearances for the OGB (or not OGB if Ritual didn't happen but romance with Male Warden did) would be cool:
1. Not much of a difference for half-elf variant since half-elves in DA don't have pointy ears, but maybe an increase in available mana. Let's just assume that Morrigan's son, regardless of Ritual or not is a mage and an apostate at that.
2. Half-dwarf is stockier, maybe has a beard. Still a mage, but with a built-in resistance to magical attacks due to his father's heritage.
3. Blond Hair if Alistair's the father.
4. Black Hair and extra pale skin if Loghain is dad.
5. In every instance Morrigan's kid should bear a resemblance to her: similar eyes, same eye colour. Something like that.
It would be fun to see something like this, but I can't see BioWare using resources in the fashion I'm describing. I can't in all likelihood see him being much more than a central NPC in a large sidequest which opens up if the character is conceived in the first place.
A party member wouldn't be completely out of the question, but an optional party member only available if conditions in a previous game's playthrough are met seems a little far-fetched.
I would however be okay with them implementing such a companion if it meant that they scrapped multiplayer, but that's just me, probably. :innocent:
