Oh lordy yes. However, I don't see it happening. They're not going to give a companion spot to a character that may not even exist in a player's worldstate. And that definitely doesn't exist in the basic worldstate.
I'm now of the opinion that they need to drop all the old Origins characters and plot threads personally, for a variety of reasons but chief among them being HoF's inability to show up and the returning companions inability to exhibit differing motivations in big plot moments. It renders certain aspects of the continuity as running gags and diminishes the apparent "ending" of the player's original character. Ironically, by seeking to avoid "offending" people with "mishandling" of a HoF return they arguably do it even more harm by rendering them as eternally offscreen, with only references in entirely inconsequential dialogues.
With all this talk about Kieran being a mage with some combat prowess, would anyone else be remotely interested in having Kieran as a possible companion in a future DA game?
I can probably see him being a temporary tagalong for a quest at best. Of course, having HoF & Kieran descend from the skies on griffons with Morri in dragon form will always be the dream.
If the warden is in a romance with Morrigan and reject the DR, she's already pregnant when she leaves
Does that mean that maybe Morrigan was pregnant before sugesting the DR in any case (rejecting or agreeing with the ritual)? She didn't know she was but the DR changed her already conceived child. Maybe that's why the old god soul seems to trouble Kieran, instead of just being a natural part of him.
While it's an interesting thought, regular pregnancy Morrigan was only ever an ironic fallback for Morrigan being denied the DR, I'm fairly sure Morrigan specifically says OGB Kieran was conceived on the eve of the final battle or something along those lines. Much of the nuance that can occur in Origins isn't accounted for - if you sleep with Morrigan instantly in DAO for example, she should already have had a child by the end of the game, yet it isn't accounted for. If you go about her romance the other way - become her friend first, then agree to become more after killing Flemeth it's easy enough to instantly lock yourself out of sex with her outside of the DR. I'd favour Morrigan bodging some part of the ritual over that explanation personally. Although regular Kieran's existence does make you wonder how far back "changed" Morrigan was planned... But simply put, if the DR was done and the player slept with her at some point, the game assumes Morrigan was not pregnant at the time of the DR, otherwise she is. It needn't be any more complex than that.
Besides this, I wonder if some of you aren't putting a little too much stock into the whole nightmares business and troublesome aspects of the OGB soul. MisterJB brought it up a few pages back but I forgot to respond to it. iirc, he only says that lyrium gives him nightmares (as shown below), while he just talks about dreams to Flemeth in the fade, which could be referring to anything. So you need to decide if Morrigan's summation of their life tallies up with the other evidence. If Kieran's nightmares were so all-encompassingly terrifying as to ruin his life, I'd expect things would have been handled differently.
"Kieran: You're the Inquisitor. Mother never told me you'd be a mage.
> Is that a bad thing?
Kieran: No, it'd be worse if you couldn't touch magic at all. Like being blind.
> If you can sense that, don't ever become a templar.
Kieran: I can't, the lyrium gives me terrible nightmares.
> Who is your mother?
Kieran: Mother is the inheritor, she who awaits the next age."
Unless anyone can point out some other occurrences of Kieran's nightmares I'm gonna have to say you might be over-blowing that aspect of how Urthemiel has affected him. Are you not making an assumption that "no more dreams" means no more nightmares. I'm not convinced that all dreams = nightmares. They could be, but I don't recall it being confirmed either way. But this sort of brings us back to the WoS - if Morrigan is aware of the nightmares and they are as bad as you guys believe, that brings us back to BurningLizard's take on the WoS- that Morrigan feels she is a bad mother or has failed Kieran via the ritual's effects, which would/could lead to you interpreting Morrigan's desire for the Well as an act of punishing herself I suppose. On the other hand, if Morrigan is aware of the troubles Kieran faces (which she'd have to be to want to punish herself) then the WoS choice makes less sense since she'd be adding to Kieran's problems... I wonder if they should/could have presented/hinted at the WoS as having the knowledge required to split/remove the OGB soul from Kieran, if they've have gone with that rationale over "preservation, just because" it wouldn't have been so bad.
I always saw it as different realities.
Reality A - Warden romanced Morrigan but rejected DR. Morrigan runs off not knowing that she's already carrying a child.
Reality B - Warden accepts DR. Morrigan isn't pregnant until ritual is preformed.
Yes, this is the correct way to look at how things play out, the scenarios are mutually exclusive.

Now if he could just find Starfang.
