So, a question for those of you who romanced morrigan and entered the mirror with her - what are your expectations of Morrigan's return and your warden. Are you expecting/anticipating that the warden will at least cameo beside her when she eventually returns (I'll assume we're getting a new PC and if not it'll be a pleasant surprise). Would you be disappointed if Morrigan had a solo role in DA3 after the events of Witch Hunt or would the DLC ending be enough to satisfy you?
The problem at least technically right now with having the Warden just show up as an NPC cameo is that for DA2 BioWare totally redid the face morph system. So presumably, they couldn't import the look of our Wardens- so any cameo would be as some hooded figure probably- and thats sort of meh.
If Morrigan were to turn up in a solo role they would need to explain why the Warden wasn't there- better than the Love Interest notes in Awakening - I can see it now:
"Oh sorry I couldn't help you save the world from Flemeth, honey. I simply had to mow the lawn and clean the gutters before I painted the shed this afternoon. I'll be sure to pick up some Chinese take out for dinner and get Old God baby from soccer practice after school lets out. Enjoy bringing change and freedom to all of Thedas!
Love, The Warden
PS- Do tell Dog I said hello!

Although it should be said, Gaider was asked in one of the PAX chats about the Oghren hate in Awakening and he basically said it would have been his choice to bring all the LI's back or even all the Origins characters, but that given budget they couldn't. Presumably in a sequel, they'd have the budget so if the story allowed, budget shouldn't stop the Warden's return alongside Morrigan and family.
======================================
The DLC ending would be perfectly satisfactory if we never saw Morrigan, the Warden or OGB again. It would very much be like the Throne of Bhaal ending. Except its all but a certainty Morrigan will show up in the future. If she is alone, they need to explain where the Warden is, or rather simply bring the Warden along.
Haviong played through as a new Orlesian in Witch Hunt just now though, I'm wondering if maybe the Wardens in general won't have a role to play down the road in DA3 perhaps.
- You can ask Morrigan about whether Flemeth had something to do with the Blight- Morrigan's response: "Perhaps even more than you would even believe." So does that mean Flemeth is somehow involved with the darkspawn?
- Then she says: "Go. Tell your Wardens to be wary. Tell them to watch for what is to come." Again, what does Morrigan have planned or know of Flemeth's plans that would require the Warden to be on guard? If the Wardens are all about the darkspawn.....
Then you add that to the notion that Awakening's epilogue for the Orlesian mentions another Blight in the Anderfels- I don't know, but perhaps Flemeth is interested in the darkspawn somehow and that will tie things together come DA3? The fact that Morrigan tells the Orlesian to get the Wardens on guard seems rather specific...
Or we could play as the Old God Baby, but that would likely presume a big time jump, which I wouldn't be too keen on. Its possible that with DA3 however, they could use the framed narrative which I think could be wonderful in showing consequences without relegating them to a sequel. So maybe have DA3 start out with the end of Witch Hunt with the Warden or Orlesian Warden, then you could possibly skip ahead and maybe cover 20 years or so- that gives you the chance to wrap up the Warden and even introduce an adult Old God baby among other things...

Nonsense! Of course you do!

And on the topic of WItch Hunt again, I just can't shake the feeling there was supposed to be more to this than they had or that perhaps this was an expack at some point. Maybe thats just my wishful thinking but this is from the codex on the Orlesian Warden that sets up Witch Hunt and it sounds almost exactly like my "dream" searching for Morrigan expack would have been, except have it in the Frostbacks and Orlais:
Your post as Warden Commander of Ferelden has been filled with challenges and difficulties. As an Orlesian, the local nobility in Amaranthine have given you a frosty reception. Weisshaupt has provided little direct assistance but has promised more aid if you complete one small task.
During the last Blight, the hero of Ferelden worked with a purported witch of the Korcari Wilds: Morrigan. The role she and her mother, Flemeth, played in the Blight has caused a great deal of concern to the First Warden. Although scarce on details, the First Warden is offering considerable support if you find Morrigan and acquire some information. What information you need to attain, though, is frustratingly vague.
After you sent scouts to track down Morrigan, you discovered that you are not alone in looking for her. The Templars believe that she is a dangerous blood mage and are offering a high price for her elimination, and the Crown had soliders looking for her in southern Ferelden. Morrigan has ignited controversy in your own rank, too. Some believe she should be found and killed (such as your seneschal, Garavel), while others believe she should be spared if she cooperates and answers your questions.
Your scouts recently uncovered the location of Flemeth's hut and report unusual activity in the area.
If that was part of a bigger expansion with Templars, soldiers and the Dalish racing to find Morrigan that would have been intense. You could have done some serious detective work in the Frostbacks, Dales and Orlais trying to find her. Or maybe the Templars catch Morrigan and take her to The Aeonar and you would have had to bust her out. Soooo many possibilities- Witch Hunt wasn't bad per se in terms of her romance, it just could have been even better as an expack.
