I got 2 questions here:
1) Did they say which save they used when doing the review?
2) What exactly can you say to Morrigan if you romanced her? Can you restart your relationship with her or do things stay the way they are at the end of Origins?
Honestly, I knew we wouldn't have Morrigan and the Warden stay together, but if you can at least continue the relationship with her, then the whole "Morrigan disappears again" isn't that much of a big deal.
I mean seriously, did anyone expect her and the Warden to settle down and raise their kid or something?
I read the whole thing, since I'm a skip-to-the-last-page kind of girl. They based the preview on both characters who had romanced Morrigan and others who hadn't. Dialogue options changed if you had romanced her and/or if you had done the DR, but it says she is her usual cryptic self. Basically I concur with Brock that it sounds like pre-DR conversation 2.0.
Spoilers follow.
It says she is cryptic, only saying the child is somewhere safe, that she's doing what she must do, that she needs to get power, and that the child is being prepared for what is to come. Then she leaves and you can choose different options on how to leave things with her.
Well, this is pretty much what I hoped for. If it gives me the chance to rekindle the relationship with her then I'm fine with how things play out.
I really hope that the whole "she's being cryptic again" thing is an exageration on the Gamespot's part, since I really want some answers to the mystery of Morrigan and her plans. I don't expect any major revelations but something to at least give us a clue as to what she wants and what her realtionship with Flemeth is.
Right now I still have hope that Witch hUnt will turn out to be a satisfying experience, but that really depends on that last conversation with Morrigan and how things stand after that.
Addai pretty much summed it up. My impression on the choosing how to leave things with her part though sounded like you get one last thing to say or do with her (I'm thinking spit at her feet if you hate her or maybe one last kiss if you romanced her) but that she goes off to her Mirror World regardless without the Warden.
Maybe it won't turn out so bad, but that preview really has me thinking its just a Dark Ritual scene 2.0- Morrigan gives evasive and vague answers which really only raise more questions and its predetermined by The Plot Hammer of Doom that she leaves.
The questions I have then which sort of make or break the DLC and my interest in DA:
- Can we ask why the Warden cannot come with her? Or can the Warden express a desire to help her?
- Does Morrigan pretty much kill off the romance and all we can do is get "closure" from her as to why it can never be?
- A better explanation for the God baby. Seriously? The one in the article sounds like a damn joke.
Its just a continual matter of lowering expectations with DA it seems. The fundamental thing is, in my view, providing an answer as to why the Warden cannot come with her or help her directly. Maybe she gives him some way to help her while she is away. That would be ok. But my concern from a while back and even more so now, is that Gaider and crew are just going to push the whole "star crossed lovers" tragic angle on us and the "closure" we'll get is simply Morrigan explaining how the relationship can never be. And to "Deal with it."
I fail to see how having Morrigan run off again though provides closure. And if the answers we get are as skimpy as the preview makes it seem, then thats another WTF towards BioWare marketing claiming we'll get answers as "Morrigan's secrets finally revealed!" For most people that involves what the hell the DR and OGB were about and it seems we get no answers at all to that and at best we only get answers to the little plot they cooked up for this DLC.
And if the ending is as lame as it sounds, I have no idea how this DLC provides closure for the Warden's overall story, especially those who don't care for Morrigan. This whole thing just seems like a cheap cash in to grab $7 from the Morrigan fans before winding up and kicking them in the balls one last time before BioWare scurries off into the loving embrace of Epic Hawke, only to disregard Origins until they feel like cashing in again with more vague "answers" for Morrigan fans in DA3.
Cliffhangers work when they're followed up suitably. It seems like Witch Hunt simply provides another cliff hanger yet at best we'll waiting until 2013 to get any "answers." Hell, and even then it would probably be with Hawke or some other non-Warden PC.... Meh.
On the bright side, my expectations have no where to go but up, I guess.....Right?
