I would also like to join a dragon cult and communicate with High dragon. Who will be the puppet master?

I also would like to get few more of them, even one or two legendary as OP said, but enough is enough. Dragon boss in DA:O was very easy as opposed to the rest of the game, big dragon in DA II was ridiculously hard, even for high level, well equiped team.
More dragons - yes. More well-balanced and well-placed dragons - even better.

Perhaps raising the dragon fights to four or five? Making them harder will complete my dragon wishlist.
You got to be kidding me - if you wanna fight four to five at the same time, that is. And how much more life potions of healer mages you wanna have in your team? And how much more actually good clothes for mages you wanna have, giving the obvious problem with them in DA:O and smaller lack of them in DA II?

It's like the old Final Fantasy's, When you down the omega dungeon and kill the boss (ie dragon.) That is the amazing omg accomplishment. You brag to your friends about how you killed it and how amazing the fight was. You recall how your heart was beating faster and how amazing it felt when you got the killing blow and you threw down the controller jumped in the air and shouted profanities at the screen proclaiming that you did the deed with baddies mother. Then you looked at the loot and you walked around the game with a bit of a strut because you got THE sword or THE armor.
So instead of making 30 more fricking time wasting pains in my butt, just give us 2-3 Epic fights that we can brag about.

More dragons would be accepted. The dragons are making a comeback right? Then how come the Warden and Hawke and fought one? ( not counting flemmeth or archdemon)
Dragons aren't making a comeback. Dragons were supposed to be extinct. At the end of the Blessed Age, two dragons apparead and made massive damage on the border between Orlais and Nevarra. There is no sign that dragons would appear in large numbers. The only thing known is that dragons weren't existed and some of them survived the hunt.

Having loads of them flying around would decimate livestock reserves.
I know it's not a popular point among "fantasy" games but there has to be a certain element of realism.
The few we get are plenty enough. Though I would like their presence to have more of an impact.

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.
err...in skyrim the dragons are dangerous. When u start fighting elder dragons and the higher versions then u'll know wats up. dragon priests are nothing. I can wear elemental and magical resists to counter their magic

I felt DA2 used them too lightly. The fights with dragons didn't really have any story weight, they were just there - rather giving the impression to me that they mostly only existed because the game has Dragon in the title.

Dragons would lose their appeal if Bioware added more of them. After many hours in Skyrim, fighting dragons became a real chore.

No thanks. In skyrim Dragon were so common and easy to kill .. They were at some point more nuissance and vermine rather than powerful legendary beast.

I started to feel that way about the damn baby dragons in DA2......and those damn DAO deepstalkers. Vermin should be limited to rats, mosquitos, maybe the occasional angry bird (one of the live ones)
Quality, not quantity.

I just meant things that were numerous and a pain in the ass, and vermin was the best word I could think of at the time

Skyrim dragons are not strong. My buddy and I were having a good old time one shoting dragons as they tried to fly away. He actually spent an hour looking for the corpse of a dragon that he 1 shot mid flight.

You're right, it's Dragon Age. Notice how I've bolded, italicized, and underlined the word Dragon....
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
I already read the codex entry. I was trying to make a point that you'd think there would be more Dragons in a game with the word dragon in the games title.
I don't really want 20 dragons in the game, however one high dragon a game is ridiculous. 4-5 wouldn't be that bad if they if they had interesting back stories.

For variety we have mods like Deadly Dragons. With that many will use some kind of magic and will be hard to kill, even if your char is max lvl.
Looks really nice, if you have a party with some mages as walking (AA) guns and you get a dragon which summons minions + such a twirling storm like Alduin and also attacks you from above.

Sorry if I offended, plnero. I do understand your point. I was merely trying to support my case against it.
In my opinion, it's unlikely that the storyline for DA3 could support the killing of four or five high dragons, and I would be disappointed if the plot was skewed to somehow to fit them all in (unless one of the quests in the main plot was actually hunting high dragons.) Dragons just seem to be too rare and too epic to be tossed around like cheese wheels.
In Origins, the dragon guarding the temple containing Andraste's Ashes was a great example of plot inclusion, and I enjoyed the moral dilemma of whether to kill it or not in the context of the story. (i.e. The whole 'expose the Ashes to Chantry exploitation' thing.) But the high dragon in DA:2 was, I think, a little contrived. It was just there to be killed. For cool armour.
Give me one or two huge, massively-hard-to-kill high dragons whose lives or deaths have an interesting impact on the story of Dragon Age 3. THAT would be great.

They need to have a purpose, be somehow tied to the plot, not just dragons because... Dragons.
