Do you think DA3 will lead to a conclusion to Morrigan and Flemeth's involvment and Mages vs Templar stuff...
or maybe we'll have to wait until DA4 or DA5?
I like Dragon Age Series a lot, and of course I hope BioWare will make more installments in the future...
but I'd like to see an End to the current plot in DA3, especially regarding Morrigan.
Do you think DA3 will lead to a "conclusion" or we'll se many future installments?

Maybe things have changed, but I have repeatedly been given the impression that Dragon Age is not a trilogy, or even telling stories in a trilogy format. The story of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 are two completely separate entities, and the only kind of trilogy that can be made from that is the "Two-part Trilogy" that doesn't get much love despite (or maybe because of) the large abundance of them.
Dragon Age 2 will definately affect Dragon Age 3 and beyond, but the same could be said for Origins, Asunder, and Awakening. That doesn't mean that Dragon Age Origins and 2 are leading to some big "conclusion". Dragon Age Origins involved a standalone story, Dragon Age 2 involved a standalone story that altered the culture of the setting. One does not "conclude" a culture shift. Looking at real-world history can make that clear. Unless magic genocide occurs, the primary culture shifts from Dragon Age 2 will not be resolved in any way in a single game.
As for Morrigan and Flemeth, I suspect that at least Flemeth will make an appearance again. The thing is, she is shown as far more powerful than the protagonists of both games, who themselves are held up as paragons of existance that can slay Archdemons or deal with foreign invasions single-handedly. Even if Morrigan were held up as an opposite of Flemeth, it would be like the final conflict in Dragon Age 2 all over again: a powerless protagonist caught between two overwhelming forces. While interesting to see once (even if it was poorly executed), it wouldn't be wise to repeat such an ending so soon.
Dragon Age's story will continue as long as money allows, fan interest maintains or increases, and the writers come up with new ideas. Anything else would invalidate most of the "official" information about Dragon Age's future, however sarcastic it may have been ("We're planning for 17 games"). *link*
P.S: This is a personal annoyance of mine, so feel free to ignore it. But there has never been official information suggesting that Dragon Age was designed as a trilogy.

I don't know if we'll ever get a "conclusion" to some of the plot lines. I think some of the ramifications may carry over to other parts of Thedas as we explore it (like the mage uprising).
I would, however, like to see the Flemeth/Morrigan plot line finished in this next game.

I don't think I'd want a 'conclusion' to seeing Flemeth or Morrigan, I like both of them, and Leliana, these are characters I'd like to see around in some fashion or other each and every game. Whether its a little, a lot, or anything in-between, these are awesome characters and I want to see them all the time. Now, if you're talking about an end to the Flemeth-Morrigan rivalry, and maybe its time they re-joined forces together against a greater foe, then I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that, but whether they're friends or enemies I definitely want to keep seeing them.

If people still complaining about Dragon Age`s games I think Bioware would stop doing more games. I would like to see more games, and see somethnig about Morrigan, not finished yet, but some progress in her story.

On the Dawn of the Seeker bonus interviews they say they want to grow the franchise so I doubt DA3 will be the end of it.

It hasn't been said it's going to be a trilogy, has it? I don't know, I don't pay attention that much, but by the way DA:O and DA2 were made, it seems like there could be more than just three.
I could see DA3 maybe being the end to the mage/templar thing perhaps. And I really want to know more about Morrigan and Flemeth.

I think we can expect at least a few more Dragon Age games. I think Bioware plans on doing as many as are feasible and economical to make.

The way I've seen it
DA3 (Mage vs Templars and Orlesian Civil War is the main plot),
DA4 (Viewing the wars as weakening the andrastian nations and seeing as how the battle with tevintar is going nowhere the qunari comit to essentially an all or nothing war landing forces in the Anderfalls, Free Marches, and Ferelden)
DA5 (The war accidentally causes the start of a new blight with 2 archdemons to start and Flemeth's plans reach their end game scenario)
After this I think we will be out of time in the Dragon Age so the series will likely be renamed after a future age and likely have a time skip of an age or 2.

Well depends on weather they get it right or not. If they blow it like DA2 & ME3 this may be the end of it. If they can pull another hat trick and make a BG or DAO worthy game then it may live on.

That's what I think too. I'm hoping they can pull it off and we get more games because I really do love the worlds they've created. I was disappointed with DA2 and ME3. I'd like to see Bioware come back really strong.

I can see Morrigan/Flemetth and the Mages/Templars coming to an end with DA3. You can establish plot points and keep them fresh and alive only for some time. Though Morrigan/Flemeth, if they follow that plot at all, could very well be something like the combining element in a way for all the games...but I just have no real idea what they will do with that story-arc, if at all
My guess is that at least the mage-conflict will be solved entirely, with some predefined outcome(s), but not as drastically than they screwed up in ME3. Setting the stage for a mostly changed world, with magic viewed differently, and possible new factions and conflicts based on DA3's story
A possible DA4 could be placed decades or even centuries after DA3, which has multiple benefits for story-tellers...the same universe and flavour, but not so many fans demanding a return of this or that character...
And no...Dragon Age is gladly no trilogy. Which is good, because games don't seem to be suited for that kind of story-telling, as far as I am concerned. Mass Effect has sadly proven this to me. It works with movies and books, but games? I don't see it for a couple of reasons, but that's another topic I guess.

I think this might be the end of this particular storyline. I'd like to know what happened to my Hawke, Warden, and their LI went. Did they fall off the Thedas or what? And I'm not exactly sure how I feel about multiple games in the DA universe. They could either get progressively better or progressively worse. I'm hoping for the better part.

Bioware has 2 main franchises, mass effect and dragon age. I think they want to continue both of them for as long as they can. Future of dragon age probably depends a lot on how da 3 is received though, I think mass effect's future is more assured.

I don't care if it's trilogy or not (hint: not). I just want to have all previous plots closed. That's why we play video games, especially RPGs - to know the story, from A to Z.

I think they have plans for future Dragon Age titles, and they have said from the beginning that DA wasn't planned as a trilogy. I certainly hope the series goes on for a while yet. It will also come down to how financially successful DA3 is too though.
I also think that Flemeth will definitely have a part to play in DA3, and probably Morrigan too, although I doubt we will see any kind of conclusion to those story arcs yet.

I hope that the story within the game gets a conclusion; like with DAO, your character arc ends. You end the Blight, deal with the Awakening and ride off into the sunset with your love interest. There was still plenty of plot threads to continue the IP with, but to me, the Warden's story came to a satisfactory end. Not so with DA2. The middle child of the trilogy where nothing gets resolved and Hawke's fate is full of speculation. It felt like more of a holding pattern, where things get set up that will be resolved in a future, cooler game, and that DA2 was just a story that had to be told to get there, no matter how much fun it actually ended up being.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'd really like DA3 to provide a satisfactory conclusion for the character, while still allowing the IP to continue.
