Inquisition is her chance to return to glory.........Morrigan’s fate is being teased for Dragon Age: Inquisition, and the anticipation of her role is keeping fans on the edge of their seats...... Although, she won’t be cast as one of the followers, her role is important. “It’s not a cameo. She plays a significant role,” Gaider teases. .....They’ve been building up her return for some time now. “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.”

So if Morrigan's is not essentially involved in the plot at all, and if you can cut all her parts out and not replace it with anything and the Inquisition's story is uneffected. like you could with Flemeth's in DA2, then there is an expectation out there that I (maybe others) need to curtail. Using Morrigan's appearance in the trailer probably didn't help.

Is Morrigan's role non-essentail to Inquisiton?


" Be careful letting your imagination run with stuff that you really want (and then cascading that to other stuff that you really want) because on some level you'll end up creating a situation where "This isn't what my imagination told me I was promised." Inquisition follows the Inquisitor, not Morrigan. "


haha this reminds me of the whole god child theory, the argument of that end of the story is about how the god child could play a huge part of the lore this time around. I beleive it was just a side note in a greater story, as the option was there to or not to have this child. In cannon the elf dies to the dragon meaning that the act never took place, most players have the 50/50 chance of picking this as a yes or no. So, do we write two drastically detailed stories with or without? Or do we mention it as a side thing? which would go better with the subject matter at hand? To die hard fans that beleive this needs more telling it best not be the later, but to those with common sense we argue....

"Nay! Nieve fanbots! Thou hasn't understoodith the true modeths of great storytellingeth!" :)

In the end I understand why people would love some of these questioned answers, I mean "GASP! Bioware dedicated a whole dlc to just that very topic!" No, nieve fanbots, the dlc didn't answer anything but did leave you asking a heck of allot more."

My thoughts on it anyways ;)

ps. to dev, yeah I get it as well, "it's morrigan's particular moment to finally shine in the game but she isn't the game she's plays a moment threw out the game"  hmm i might confuse people with that, oh well, :)

My personal opinion is just let it be and don't bring them into DAI except for maybe some references about them. Bioware made a big mistake not letting DA2 be a continuation of our grey wardens. I don't loathe DA2 and I tried to give it a fair chance playing as Hawke, but the game and story fell short for me.

I just don't see any good approach on how to bring these characters back without disappointing or angering many, many people.

I feel like it's impossible to have the Warden and Hawke appear and make everybody happy.

I'd much rather find a random book in the world giving me a very vague account of a "rumor" as to what happened to the Warden and Hawke, similar to the Nerevarine and the Champion of Cyrodil from The Elder Scrolls. Leave everyone to their own head cannon regarding their characters from previous games.

Given that some people really want Hawke and Warden to make an appearance, you can't win that battle no matter what.

I don't know if a book of rumors would adequately solve the dangling plot thread at the end of DA2. It was heavily implied something important was going on there. They could drop the thread entirely, but that would be kind of disappointing, not to mention poor storytelling.

How could you all not want to see how your warden has become. I would love to have my warden as a companion

Headcannon, afraid bioware will give the Warden a personality that isn't how they played,they'll look weird,Not wanting them to steal the spotlight from the new guy and knowing it'll just ****** off fans if even the slightest detail's wrong...

I dont want the warden or hawke to show up in the game at all, preferably not even mentioned. No cameos whatsoever from important NPCs from previous games please (previous companions etc).

They are more trouble than they are worth and add nothing to the story, DA:O was a fine game and didn't have any cameos from earlier titles (for obvious reasons).

My Origins Warden, a human mage, is dead, he died to avoid the Dark Ritual. His name was Avensis and I loved him dearly.

On the other hand, my Awakening Warden, an Orlesian elf mage named Vendaval, is still alive and kicking somewhere undisclosed. And yes, I would love to have him as a companion, but that's never going to happen.

I'm curious to see how BioWare will handle both the Warden and Hawke's appearances in Inquisition. To be honest I have no idea how they'll do it and can only imagine the nightmare it must have been to come up with something that will feel respectful to players. They won't please everyone I'm sure, but I also hope it's not something like Alistair's cameo in DA2, because that was simply lame.
