Why should anyone give a **** anymore? Seriously. Whatever they have planned for the Warden and Morrigan (even if there is a plan), they're not going to allow you to affect a damn thing anyway, and if so, they'll probably kill Morrigan off or something equally stupid because this is "dark fantasy;" so I'm pretty much moving on. Gaider and company way overplay their hand with Morrigan; just my opinion of course.
No, I understand where you're coming from completely. If DAO was my 1st RPG and it ended the way it did with Morrigan I'd be a little jaded too. Whats keeping me hopeful though throughout it all is that as far as sequels go, Bioware hasn't let me down yet and despite the clusterf*** that the DR and Morrigan's romance seemingly devolves into if you're looking for any closure, going off of past Bioware efforts I still have faith that they can deliver with DA2. Am I being MYOPIC in putting my faith in Bioware? Time will tell....

Because
I do? I invested a lot of time and put a lot of enjoyment into my
characters story and I still want to see that come to a satisfying
conclusion (that has nothing to do with white picket fences) and
I believe Bioware is still capable of delivering that, and it hasn't
been ruled out by them as of yet. If you need hope, you just have to
look at the fact that the Warden was supposed to be forced into the
Ultimate Sacrifice no matter what, and at the end they changed it up
with an aaaaamazing plot hook for the next game that has people going
off on both ends of the spectrum in anticipation.
And Dark
Fantasy's biggest building block is everything comes with a price. I
could see them Viconia'ng her, but more likely I think it will end up
being a hard choice between wants and duty. (And I'll tell you right
now, I'm weak. Wants all the way.)
Totally agree- Crappy ending (or bittersweet, however you want to spin it) or not, I still loved DAO. But the varying reactions to Morrigan's ending and in turn the romancing Warden's ending just goes to show that if an ending is too wide open or one-size fits all like the DR, it can really ruin one's view of an entire game. If the whole ending with Morrigan is provided closure in DA2 then our moaning is all for naught really.
Its just that right now, its like we just finished The Empire Strikes Back but we have no clue if the next Star Wars movie will even focus on Luke, Han, Vader and everyone else- for all we know it will be all about Ewoks and Jar Jar or something. I still have faith in Bioware based on them giving me BG, KOTOR and ME- some of my very favorite gaming experiences ever. But if they flub up with DA2, the good will starts drying up fast.

Did Gaider beat a puppy to death on a
Bioware webcam or something and I missed it, because I just don't seem
to take any malice out of the things he's been quoted as saying. To me,
it just read as he was interested in where we saw it going, and didn't
think any of us expected a settle down and play house with the god-baby
and lady type of ending. Seemed fair.
Me either, sure Gaider may be frustratingly wishy washy with his maybe/ maybe not speak sometimes, but like he posted about where we thought the Morrigan romance was going, I didn't take anything mean out of that. I mean there probably
are some people that want to settle down in a little cottage and have a sunshine and rainbows Morrigan reunion. Gaider is just saying that DA isn't the type of universe where that sort of thing is likely going to happen. Seems fair to me- but conversely I don't think everything in DA needs to be doom and gloom either...

Ah, so when DA2 comes out and we fall into
this particular trap (which will naturally be unavoidable) and get
"Gaidered" we can blame it all on you Brock.
Ahhh... honestly I'll be looking for this in DA2- I can picture it now, we'll get transported to the Fade eventually, not having had any sign of Morrigan in DA2 up to that point and then we''ll get our rainbows and puppies, white picket fence romantic reunion with Morrigan there. Then later on you get the regular doom and gloom reunion with Morrigan later on back in Thedas. Heck, if you've read The Calling, just substitute the Warden with Maric and Morrigan for Katriel and there you go (of course maybe thats not quite right, since Katriel was dead...so unless they plan on killing off Morrigan....ruh-roh) Hopefully Gaider isn't getting any more ideas....
