Ring references
Morri mentions it, there's a scene where a companion mentions it, very nicely interwoven with the plotline. Definitely rewarded serious roleplayers.
I was giddy with excitement when Ariane mentioned the Warden fiddling with the ring- that was fantastic. Maybe there is dialogue and I didn't get it, but when talking to Morrigan can you reference the whole sorrow and regret epilogue at all?

Dog's reactions to the Warden's attitude toward Morrigan as the plot progressed were an unexpected surprise - he wasn't too happy if you announce that you intend to kill her. I really liked this interaction and the part where Morri greets the dog.
Dog was great in this- fitting since Sheryl Chee wrote Dog in Origins too. I just loved Dog's happy greeting for Morrigan and the fact that she actually seemed happy to see Dog:)

A few more bits of info on Flemeth/Morri's plans with giving away too much.
They could have given more answers. If you didn't romance Morrigan and were mostly expecting answers, you really don't get much that you didn't know or couldn't piece together already from Origins. EVen just a bit more in terms of Morrigan's plans or what she knows would have been welcome, expecially if you're her friend or lover. I mean, hell, if you're going into Mirror World with her, you'll no doubt find out soon enough right? So if she is going to let you follow along why not give your Warden a primer on what she knows? Because she very clearly knows a whole hell of a lot more than she is telling.

Finn's comment - You could... probably crush me like a knat. (Finally, someone gets it!)
I really liked Finn- I hope he shows up again maybe in DA2. Its funny I enjoyed the new characters here more than any of the ones in Awakening (maybe besides Nathaniel).

... We didn't get Gaider'd... yet.
I won't spoil the mood, but I can already think of a million and one ways we can still get Gaider'd whenever Morrigan's story resumes....

Most disappointing for me is that I doubt the choices that you make will have any impact on future games as there is no end save for Witch Hunt and the important choices come right at the end.
If thats the case and we can't import from Witch Hunt into DA2, thats bad. It seems like a farily big deal how you dealt with Morrigan as that could influence how she views things (romanced Morrigan with Warden, friendly Morrigan on her own, or gut stabbed Morrigan all hostile). I'm hoping we hear about this sometime soon and about the import feature for DA2 in general. Given all the headaches, I'm hoping they give it some transparency so we don't have to trudge through the whole game only to get dozens of hours in to realize the import borked our decisions.

The "murder knife" moment was particularly cruel for those of you that've seen it. I'm not sure Morri's done anything quite so evil as to deserve that, heck it was almost a homage to that idiot with the beheading vids, though I'm sure our view is a little biased.
Thats exactly what I was thinking- I was reminded of certain obsessive Morrigan haters on the forum or one of the threads that came out shortly after Origins was released which had people raging about why they couldn't kill Morrigan in the DR scene. I think this was BioWare just throwing a bone to them- but I'll be damned if Morrigan is dead from that. If anything, that scene just plays out very odd and I hope a pissed off super Morrigan comes back from the MIrror World to kill the Wardens that did that

Essentially I'd like to see *this* Morrigan in the future, you've crafted a really nice end to this part of the story so don't let it be for nothing when Morri returns.
Well, here is my speculation of getting Gaider'd in DA3 or whenever Morrigan returns from the Mirror World.
You figure by the end of DA2, it will be about 10 years post Origins or about 8 years post Witch Hunt. Morrigan says we're going somewhere even beyond the Fade, somewhere the Old God Boy can get his Jedi training and where Morrigan has the time to build up her power for what is to come. And she mentions it may not be wise for the Warden to follow along.
So, one possibility is that by the time DA3 comes out, at least 8 years will have passed. Thats a decently long time. And 8 years in bizzaro Mirror World? Who knows what that will do to a person? What I'm worried is that come DA3 time, we'll be a new PC yet again and at some point we get involved with Flemeth and Morrigan. Except maybe we pick up a mysterious companion along the way and *big reveal* its actually some sort of super powered Gandalf the White type Morrigan reborn. And the mystery/character development would be unraveling what went on in the Mirror World and what happened to the Warden that followed her in. And with their new art style would give them an excuse to radically change up her look, nevermind that she's a shapeshifter.
But ideally, Morrigan and the Warden went into Mirror World together and ideally they'll walk out together (with Old God Boy?)
