Hopefully there won't be Skyrim-many dragons, 'cause, weren't they meant to be in hiding or something, or at least not so many that they'd go poking their heads where they'd be easily sliced off by a passing grey warden, or a Hawke.
I'm not sure how many dragons Skyrim is boasting, but I can speak to "the dragon situation" in Thedas. We're basically seeing a resurgeance of the species over the course of the dragon age. They were hunted to near extinction, largely by the Nevarrans, in previous years, but the ones that survived have had babies and were, by nature, remote, since they weren't found by the dragon hunters. Having a large pack of them birth would normally not see a surge in population, since dragons tend to be territorial and fight each other for hunting rights and so on, but with not a lot of other, mature dragons around, this new generation is able to spread more easily. And, of course, because "they're almost extinct," there's not as many dragon hunters around to keep the population in check.
Hence the Dragon Age; they're coming back. Not in a "they are the gods of yesteryear!" kind of thing, but in a natural lifecycle, biome population kind of way.
They still won't be common, but they will be moreso over time.
