Maybe some legendary Dragons with cool names that we can hunt down? When I bought DA:O I was expecting like 20 epic dragon fights but instead I only got 3 and only one in DA2.

The Dragons could also have unique weapons and armour name after them, stored in their pile of stoof. Maybe they could  even have cheeses thought to be lost to the world! If I was a Dragon I know that I would hoard fancy cheeses.

I guess another problem is the fact that the Dragons we kill don't have any sort of back story. One reason I enjoyed killing Alduin and Paarthumax in Skyrim was because they had interesting back stories.

No. one or two dragons is enough on the nerves, thank you.

One can never have too many dragons.

More dragons, but make the majority of them optional. The series is called Dragon Age after all. ^_^

I couldn't disagree more.

Lore-wise, High Dragons in Thedas are rare. I'd like the DA games to stay true to canon. It's always disappointing when cheap-thrills game-play takes precedence over established lore. I say keep dragons to one or two per game, maybe up the difficulty a bit, and make their appearance a real epic highlight in the context of the games.

How about bigger dragons? like the one in the sacred ashes trailer? The ones ingame seem pretty tiny in comparison.

Perhaps a two-headed dragon?

This isn't Skyrim. Dozens of dragonlings and drakes plus one or two high dragons are more than enough.

Boy, was I disappointed with the Dragons in Skyrim. They looked so cool in the previews...

You're right, it's Dragon Age. Notice how I've bolded, italicized, and underlined the word Dragon....

Maybe make the dragon fights actually hard, not monotonous like they were in the last two titles. :I They aren't that hard. Hell, even in Skyrim the Dragon Priests killed me more often than the damn dragons. Make the fights more challenging! In DA2 is was just like hoard mode.

Your bolding, italicizing, and underlining of the word dragon doesn't make one iota of difference to why Dragon Age is named as it is.

According to a codex entry in Origins, scholars in Val Royeaux share omens of the coming era with the Chantry and the Devine, who is the only person with the authority to 'name' the next 'age'.

Apparently the current age was going to be called the 'Sun Age' after the symbol of the Chantry. But at the last minute it was called  'Dragon Age' , because, in part, of the appearance of a high dragon at the brink of the Battle of the River Dane.

Just as Tower Age didn't mean everyone built towers, and Storm Age didn't mean there was a 100 years of non-stop thunder and lightning, Dragon Age doesn't point to an over-population of Dragons.

Look it up here if you don't have a DA:O save handy: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Ages

In all honesty, I too expected more dragons. However, upon encountering the codex defining the signifigance/attribution of "named ages," I was less perturbed.


(In case you didn't get a chance to read the codex, "Dragon Age" is a century, which oracles forsaw the return of dragon populations in Thedas. Apparently, dragon hunters brought dragons to the edge of extinction in centuries past; in present-game time, dragons are making a comeback Image IPB)

I rather see less dragons. They are supposed to be scarce, but in DA2 they are like some kind of new horde.

Uggh. You are free to interpret my words as you wish. I was using a sweeping generalization to drive home my point and I assume most people understand this. It's not rocket science.

Please no. I can't go anywhere in Skyrim without an annoying dragon to ****** me off at least every hour. Dragon Age is set in the age of Dragons, that doesn't suddenly mean it's about fighting dragons.

Absolutely not.

Fighting a dragon should be a rare, epic, "oh ****" moment not a common occurence. It's amazing how Skyrim made fighting a dragon into just a regular annoyance.

The more scarce the dragons, the more better. Dragons are meant to be scarce in the world of Dragon Age, having so many dragons would make their reputation of being the strongest creature, fierce and powerful to be basically ruined.

^This

My #1 complaint regarding Skyrim was how the dragons were just periodic annoyances I had to shoot 60 arrows at.  It wouldn't have been so bad if they'd just gone away when you finished the main quest.

According to the wiki it was named in honor of the completion of the grand cathedral in Val Royeaux, so they built a couple of towers at least.  ;)
