I'm amazed more people haven't put 2 and 2 together.
Morrigan is a name for an old Irish war Goddess among other things. Additionally, several characters hint suspicions that Morrigan has an alternate motive towards your main character. Obviously of course that's having the OId God child, but what's got me curious is Flemeth and that personal plot.
Preserving and Old God is all well and good, but even that seems a bit too noble of a cause for Morrigan and Flemeth. Thinking on how the old hag reacted rather expectantly to my PC showing up. I'm of the inclination that Morrigan knew of Flemeth's intentions before she even set out on the journey with the Wardens.
"It is an old tale that Flemeth has heard many times, and even told."
This line in particular has me thinking that Morrigan actually has it in her to use the Old God child in the same manner Flemeth intended on using Morrigan, in order to become an goddess herself. To do so, of course, Morrigan would need to know the full details of the possession ritual, something she intended to find within the Black Grimore, but did not. Which lead her to having to have the PC face Flemeth herself and gain the full possession spell details from the true Grimore.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Morrigan was seen in a future Dragon Age game as a goddess or dragon, much like her mother could have been.
I only hope that the developers keep her as more or less a protagonist, however. As devious and well thought out her intentions were, she's still got a soft spot with me.
That said, I've no doubts we'll see her again. I just hope they allow my PC from the first game to encounter her again.
The points made here are valid enough, but, in the end, I think some small details change depending on how you choose to play the game and the manner of your relationship with Morrigan. Was it Flemeth's Plan from the beggining to use the Grey Warden to provide her with a Human Host to take over that would be more Powerful than any other Daughter she herself could 'ever' hope to conceive? Obviously.
Was it Morrigan's intention to instead turn the tables, destroy Flemeth, and use a similar Ritual to take the Child's Power for herself? Possibly.
Is that still the case? Well, that, as I said, depends on how you managed your Warden's Relationship with Her. For those who choose to keep Morrigan at arms length, it is likely when you see Her again she might very well either still be planning to claim the Child's Power for herself or have claimed it already. For those who choose to Win her Heart, I think things might be really rather different.
Though I can not repost the entire conversation, I do know that Morrigan's motivations towards the Ritual and the Child change depending on the depth of her feelings for the Warden. If the Warden is her True Love, it only makes sense that she would not wish to do 'anything' that would cause him undue Harm. Were she still planning to take the Child's Power she would know that eventually the Warden would learn of it, and set off to prevent this from occuring, a Journey that would likely end with the Warden killing Morrigan, which in turn would be like killing a part of Himself. I do not think that version of Morrigan would inflict such a wound on her beloved. As to her new motivations?
Take into account Morrigan's hatred of the Chantry, the Circle Towers, and the proverbial 'Gilded Gage' livestyles of Magic users. I believe the more Noble Morrigan will instead choose to Raise a child that will able to Free the Mages of Thedas, minus the Mage's of Tevinter, from the oppression of the Chantry. In her eyes, Mages that could be free to utulize their respective Powers without the zealousness of the Chantry would provide a Power to Equal that of the Darkness behind the Architect and the Darkspawn; ergo, she would be able to help her Beloved Win his War against the Great Enemy of Humankind while serving another, in her Eyes, Noble goal. However, if, again, the Warden never loved her at any point during their time together Her motivation might be similar, though instead of the Child providing that Freedom to Mages, it would be Her having taken possession of the Child.
Now, we already know from the Devs that Choices made in DA:O Will affect the rest of the Saga, that's been essentially confirmed and it is a system already being put to use via the Mass Effect Saga and even Awakening. So, there you have it. My two cents. Regardless of Bioware's course of action, I would say that, Respectfully, believing that our Warden will Never see Morrigan again is foolhardy. As it has been stated before, she is far too pivitol to the Warden's story in one form or another. However they choose to do it, I know it will be yet another Epic moment in this Grand Adventure.
