How am I being foolish?
They all ready ret-conned Leliana's death as it was a useful plot device. Take Wynne, Shale and Leliana out of Asunder and it turns out a heck of a lot differently. If the OGB becomes a useful plot device to make a better game in the future, why wouldn't they use it?
Dev's change what they say all the time. Casey said ME3 wouldn't have a simple choose behind door number 1,2 or 3 ending...how'd that turn out?

We'll it's no different then any playthrough of DAO where Leliana was killed.
Or even Wynne, Shale, Alistair who have all appeared in novels, comics or games that are affecting the story of DA:I. If the writers decide that canon is something other then you choose well you have to suck it up. So if they choose to make the OGB important in the future then it is.
Killing off/Reving characters is one thing; but the OGB,( being made into anything major), just makes so many peoples 'main choice' of DAO pointless. Not to mention it doesn't exist in BIowares 'supposed' cannon scenario.(Dalish Elf Ultimate Sacrifice)
Well it must be semi important as they made an entire DLC centred around finding Morrigan to ask her about it.
Witch Hunt doesn't really matter if you sacrificed yourself with no DR. Why would an Orlesian Warden who's never met Morrigan want to know what she's up to? Other then messing with old magic mirrors why does a Warden that Sacrifices Alistair or Loghain care what Morrigan's doing?
Making a whole DLC for an optional non important side choice seems like a time waste to me. If DAO was a single game with no follow up then any choice is equally valid. However as a continuing story the existence of the OGB makes a far more interesting plot hook then bloke drank some blood, did a lot of favours for some people, then killed a possessed dragon and died.
Honestly I doubt there's going to be a normal baby with Morrigan story-line. As cool as that would be I doubt Bioware is going to include it, they could prove me wrong and that would be awesome. Or it'll get retconed into being an OGB anyway most likely.

Because she's still a dangerous apostate messing with Old magic or maybe the Warden simply wants revenge for her leaving them to die?
To you, I however prefer the US to be canon in terms of plot consistency as it makes the Warden a non factor in future games.
They've said they won't retcon the ritual, and Leliana being undead will be explained.
As with most things, I'd like to see some three different responses per given choice. Let me see if I can remember what they were.
1. The ritual occurred. Maybe word got out, maybe about the boy's very powerful father, or about the ritual in general. Maybe word gets out about the ritual after hes kidnapped, but he's kidnapped by an interested party, and one must help Morrigan recover him.
2. The ritual did not occur, but the warden and Morrigan had a relationship. Word gets out about the boy's very powerful father, and kidnapped by an interested party and one must help Morrigan recover him.
3. There is no child. Morrigan's plans need to take a detour. Perhaps she needs an important relic, like Flemeth's staff (not her broomstick from Witch Hunt, but the staff she'd actually use in combat, if she needed one), or something like that. One must help Morrigan find the relic she seeks.
In all three cases, there'd be a chance to side with Morrigan at the end or someone else.

Perhaps the warden told Alistair or another survivor what Morrigan proposed (I headcanon otherwise, unless my warden needs to recruit Alistair or Loghain for the job) and word got out to the wardens, who wanted an explanation?

Maybe it's a more intresting plot hook to you, but it's not for everyone. Not to mention the *****storm it would cause. I can just see the thread titles now:
OMG DAI is sexist male wardens get a baby, why don't female wardens?
As 'insert specific gender orientation here' I'm offended because my game has been railroaded with a plot that caters to straight-males
They just need to give it a minor mention, and leave it at that.
If any Romance group deserves something more than a minor mention (not a lot) it's the Zevran group, they got screwed over the most in DA2, with an Import bug that was deemed 'unfixable'. Even modders could not completely fix it.
I can see the male Wardens who didn't go with Morrigan roaming around trying to find her and the child looking like Hugh Jackman in Prisoners
This whole mess is starting to sound more and more like an episode of Jerry Springer.
Today on Jerry: "Where is my child?!"
they probably assumed 90% of the people would have done the dark ritual in origins, but when they looked at the stats and say it was around 50% they decided to not make it cannon just in case the 50% who didnt do it would complain

Also, for some, she's still a friend even if they didn't have her do the DR, like my first Warden.* My dwarf didn't trust Morrigan's ritual due to Flemeth's involvement, but she didn't stop caring about Morrigan.
*Alistair didn't fare so well...

Bioware already introduced replacement placeholder Warden in DA:A, so a Warden will be a factor in future games.

Doubtful, the Orlesian Warden isn't as relevant and doesn't have the player base as attached to them.
