He could be great... if he was sure to be there. Otherwise he would be a huge wastes of ressources of writing, voice acting and programming. Because for the many who did not made the ritual he will be absent and they won't access his content. So it's really either Bioware canonise the ritual in DAO and it always happened (and therefore taking away the choices that were done before) OR he should not be there at all and these ressources should simply go into another companion. Kieran can be born without the ritual. He just won't have OG soul.

Kieran can be born without the ritual. He just won't have OG soul. He will only exist, though, if the Warden is male and slept with Morrigan. Also, the ordinary Kieran would appear to be exactly that. Even Flemeth isn't interested in him although he is still of her bloodline. Which suggests that the OGB Kieran, once the Old God soul has been removed, will be fairly ordinary as well. Just because your parents are extraordinary, it doesn't follow that you will be too and Morrigan does seem to have gone to some lengths to bring him up as just an ordinary kid, which means he probably won't be burdened with expectations of what he might be because of his parents. If Kieran was included in any way it would likely be as a side-quest with an alternative if he doesn't exist. I suspect that it is more likely that he will not be seen again. I still maintain that if they are going to bring back any character from previous games who has variable outcomes it should be Feynriel. Whilst he can be tranquil or possessed in some world states, that is something that can be worked around more easily than someone who is outright dead or doesn't exist in some world states. If you helped him get to Tevinter, then he has already demonstrated that he can operate his powers over a considerable distance and is someone that could be a direct challenge to Solas. In fact it would be rather odd not to encounter him considering that we are headed north and in need an ally that would give us an edge over the Dread Wolf but they may still conveniently forget about him or explain his absence through a codex.

To extend the EA/Bioware revenue tail, Kieran as romance companion might be a successful non-canon DLC.

Kieranbros... If Andraste really was the original Old God Baby and was somehow present in the current timeline, could that mean the two might have communicated with eachother at some point? By the time of Inquisition, was Morrigan already aware there was another Old God Baby running around Thedas? And did Flemythal knew too? If Andraste/Dumat was in the party, I wonder how the Kieran banter would be like. Would Dumat try and nudge him down the path of trying to restart Old God worship again in the south?

This is what a ten year wait does to people. Relax, nothing you just wrote is going to happen.

I can feel it in my bones that we'll see an Archdemon vs Archdemon fight!

Thinking over it now, where could Morrigan and Kieran have gone exactly after DAI? I was thinking Nevarra would be the most obvious choice heavy magic use but without the baggage of the Imperium.

Thinking over it now, where could Morrigan and Kieran have gone exactly after DAI? Same place as the Warden I assume, whether Morrigan is in a relationship with them or not. Apparently there is some vague land to the west where the Warden was seeking a cure of the taint. Would assume that would indicate it has some ancient connection and thus likely to be of interest to Morrigan. Alternatively, perhaps she would set herself up as the Witch of the Tirashan Forest. Likely lots of ancient magic to be found there, provided she can deal with the aggressive elves there. Prior knowledge given by Flemeth would likely help with that. Or may be she would join up with one of her sisters. Apparently there is meant to be one Witch of the Wilds in the Planasene Forest and another in the Nahashin Marshes, both conveniently located either side of Orlais. Then again, if Yavana is truly dead there is a vacancy in the Weys of Antiva, together with a dragon sanctuary. May be Morrigan will fulfill a similar role to Yavana during the last invasion by the Qun. Back then Yavama broke the siege of Seleny with her dragons and drove off the Antaam from that part of the country. So, if we are going to see Morrigan again, perhaps it will be in connection with the invasion by the Qun with Morrigan swooping to the rescue in her dragon form. (Swooping is not always bad )

Other than fan service callbacks, just what could Kieran specifically provide from narrative and character development standpoints, that a new Companion could not?
