I thought of another possibility for a Morrigan regret, although it would probably be divisive if true. One of my pet theories is that the HoF is dead to the Calling, and if that's true, we've synched timelines and HoF is dead in all of them. So her major regret could be failing to save them, whether back during the Blight or more recently. I know she isn't your friend/lover in every playthrough, but neither is Varric, so I could see that getting handwaved. It could tie in well to ideas regarding immortality as well.

I wonder who wrote Morrigan, since Gaider is gone.

Thanksfully she looks way less babyfaced than in Inquisition. Also she got mommy's tiara, she probably standing for Mythal. I'm all for it. What I'm not all for is the dialogue options "so you knew the warden of Ferelden?" "So harding told me you had a son? How is he doing?". Elven Rook "what's a Mythal?"
My question is "what happened to your girls?". They lost weight, somehow.
Yes, she came a long way from the witch of the wild. If she represents Mythal, then Morrigan is an integral part of the story.

Morrigan is sacrificing herself. If she is carrying Mythal, she's carrying a fate that isn't truly hers. "So long as the music plays, we dance". I hope we see how she comes to terms with this fate in DAV, and I suspect she is willing. She enjoys power and knowledge, even if she knows it comes at a great cost. I mean, Morrigan had never been one who yearned to settle down and live the Thedosian dream of a house with a white picket fence in the burbs. She has the ambition and capacity for greater, more complicated fates, and she knows it.

What I also like is that they do seem to have got back to the story that was showcased in their first DAI trailer in 2013 narrated by Morrigan. How the gods returned may be slightly different to how it was envisaged there but without a doubt that is what was being promised with the sky splitting open from horizon to horizon and a giant dragon emerging.
Then at the end Morrigan gave the challenge/question: "Darkness closes in. Will you stand against it, or lead this world to its bitter end?" I've constantly maintained that the DAI we got didn't really fit this dire prediction but based on the latest trailer DAV most certainly does.

I wonder who wrote Morrigan, since Gaider is gone. I'm nervous about that. I hope she didn't get ruined. It would kill me. What do you mean by ruined? Morrigan had already developed and grown from the character we knew in DAO. We also know that she had a difficult relationship with her mother but OGB Kieran definitely stated that she was meant to be the "inheritor". Of what you may ask? Then in the epilogue to DAI Flemeth sends something into the eluvian just before Solas arrives. It is reasonable to assume that may have been intended for Morrigan because she anticipated her death but as always had a contingency plan, with which Mythal may well have agreed. So, for the sake of argument, Morrigan turns up and seems a bit more "Flemeth-like". Would that be the DAV writers ruining her character or in keeping with the character arc that DG and the original team had planned for her? Remember, DG said that much of the story (the second half) was there to be told when he left; he just passed the baton to PW. So, it would seem that DAV always the direction the sequel was intended to take. May be they have altered some of the details and may be it grew beyond what DG and Co had originally envisaged but I would imagine that major characters like Morrigan, who has been there from the start and appeared on the cover of World of Thedas, will not have her story deviate too much from the original vision. Still, if I am wrong about that feel free to say "I told you so" after the game releases.

The resemblance to Yavana lingers in my thoughts, leaving me to wonder what it might mean... Both are daughters of Flemeth. Yavana had apparently accepted her part in Flemeth/Mythal's future plans. She said possession by Flemeth was "a gift" which Morrigan didn't understand being a "confused child". May be Yavana had already accepted that gift and had a piece in her. Did that stop her from permanently dying or did it return to Flemeth when Alistair stabbed her? If the latter, then with Yavana gone may be Flemeth only had Morrigan left and that is why Kieran believed that she was the designated heir. Flemeth maintained the "gift" could not be forced on her but perhaps Morrigan came to understand and accept it, particularly if she drank from the Well. That is the puzzling part. If she did, then Flemeth could have commanded her to do so but she didn't. She said it could not be forced on the unwilling and that was probably true. So, it is likely that Morrigan finally came to understand what Flemeth was offering and freely accepted it. As Flemeth said, Mythal has been playing a very long game and now it would seem that Morrigan is part of it. One thing I think we can be confident about, she is going to help us against the other gods. However, at what price? Flemeth/Mythal never did anything gratis, so I doubt Morrigan will either.

She still looks good, but she gives suki/fire nation vibes with her new design.

I'm nervous about that. I hope she didn't get ruined. It would kill me. What do you mean by ruined? Ruined by bad writing. As you say, the foundation was built long ago so I hope Morrigan will not suddenly feel like a completely different person, even with keeping in mind that Mythal's gift might have had an impact. Obviously bad and out of character writing is subjective. Just worried they'll take her into a direction I don't like for her. That feels cheesy or forced. I love what they've done with her so far. Her becoming a loving mother and vowing to not abuse her son like she was abused was great. So much character development. I hope whatever DAV has in store for her continues to be great. |

I would argue that DAI and DA:TV are 2 parts of one game. They have to cut DAI because of the open world and the cut content of DA2.

I would argue that DAI and DA:TV are 2 parts of one game. They have to cut DAI because of the open world and the cut content of DA2. That's what DG said when he left Bioware, that they had only told half the story in DAI, so now we are getting down to the nitty gritty. I am glad in a way that they did split it now and let us develop a new hero, even if the Inquisitor is returning. It never really sat well with me being the Herald of Andraste and all the religious implications that we were saddled with, particularly as we were encouraged not to tell the truth after Adamant. Admittedly, I would imagine the loss of the Anchor would have rather taken the shine off the whole Herald idea but I am sure whichever person was Divine they would have put a positive spin on it. The idea of being Rook (the chess piece that is going to out move the evil gods) is growing on me. I liked how Varric described them as well: clever, adaptable, tenacious. That's how I imagine my hero to be. It's going to be fun.

Her outfit is ATROCIOUS, but good to see her back. I definitely prefer her signature outfit, hopefully it's present in the game. This Flemeth look she has makes me think the worst might have happened... what her mother intended for her |

Her outfit is so much better than that sartorial fashion the females were given in DA4

Her outfit is so much better than that sartorial fashion the females were given in DA4 I think it is amusing that she grew up in the freezing cold south of Ferelden but wore hardly anything on her upper torso that would insulate her from the weather and what she had was loose fitting so unlikely to trap warm air close to her skin. So, now she has headed north to the warmer climate of northern Thedas, she chooses to cover more of her body with tighter fitting clothes. Some people's fashion choices make absolutely no sense.
