Mr. Gaider has answered this for us. Thank you, David Gaider!!
"I'm not sure where the "but even if they refuse, the other Grey Wardens of the world may not have the same resolve..." comes from. Speculation on the part of the article writer, perhaps? Regardless, if the player refused the Dark Ritual then it was refused. There is no Old God Baby."
A new Game Informer article was released today that gives more information about Morrigan's role in DA:I.
I'll post a few quotes from the article and let you decide what they might mean, but more developer confirmation on this point would be awesome.
"With so many questions lingering, including Morrigan’s whereabouts since performing the dark ritual to conceive a child, Inquisition is her chance to return to glory...
Male players are given the option of conceiving a child with Morrigan themselves, but even if they refuse, the other Grey Wardens of the world may not have the same resolve...
Morrigan’s departure to continue her mission was something Gaider felt strongly about. “From my perspective, making a strong female character is about having her have her own agenda,” Gaider says.
“The most important thing for me when I wrote [Origins] was that at the end even if Morrigan loved the player, she had this thing that she believed in, that was so important that she would do it regardless of the player. And I think that a lot of players expected that she would bend herself to do whatever they wanted because they’ve done the romance, gotten her approval up, and of course she would just sort of follow their destiny. But Morrigan has her own destiny.”
... The kernel of Inquisition’s story we knew from about midway through Dragon Age: Origins. The story has been in the making for a very long time,” Laidlaw says. “The story of Inquisition is [Morrigan’s] moment, which is a good way to think about it.”
Some fans will be very upset about this if the Dark Ritual is carried through without their Warden's approval, though I've personally never felt like Morrigan would shrink from her mission just because of her friend or traveling companion's say-so. The DR seems too big to be made into optional content. For me, this is a good thing.
Could any devs clarify these comments, please? Thanks!!
**EDIT**
The fact that the developers have said in the past that the DR would not be canon is not news to me. Thanks!

What I'm concerned about now is what these comments from Mr. Gaider could still mean regarding Morrigan. I'm glad we got confirmation on the OGB issue, but she's still planning something regardless of the Warden's approval that's been in the works since DA:O and seems like a Big Deal ™.
Check these out again:

It's easy to get caught up in the collective sigh of relief to have the OGB issue settled, but something is still happening and there are clues in this article.
The only other thing I can think of is Morrigan's campaign to kill Flemeth.
Anybody have thoughts?
