My biggest problem (and it really is) is how I can give those beautiful majestic creatures a dignified and respectful death.
You want their scales and blood, right? They are living beings. Just like you and me. Should I rely on the jungle law and ignore this fact?
Human beings are so proud, and use a lot of time explaining how wise and smart we are. How superior we are.
Yes, that might be, but that is exactly the same reason why we should be considerate towards others. We have to listen to their needs and rights, and make sure they get what's rightfully theirs. What's in bragging if you don't use it for anyone else but your self?
I think human kind is the one who should use their brains to make sure everything goes right. We have to lend our knowledge and wisdom to those who has none.
Where did I let go? Oh yes, Sandy Howler.
I want her to fight like hell. And I want her to injure us. At least she should have the courtesy of loosing to an enemy almost equal to her. And in the end death must come instantaneously. Like a lightning from a clear sky. I don't want her to suffer. Nor do I want her to know death is coming.
I have the solution: I save my Focus Power to the last second, and then release it. She will never know what happened. And that's how I like it.
When I was young I thought life was all about showing off, how great I was. how tough I was. I no longer do that.
Well said.
... and, you know, I do agree. I think the dragons are majestic, beautiful creatures too. I do. Bio certainly did a great job of conveying that in this game. Everything about fighting one of them is epic. Admittedly I'm being glib when I say it's all about the loot. I mean, don't get me wrong, it is about the loot
but not only about that.
When I successfully defeated the Fereldan Frostback, back in my first game, it was my third attempt at doing so, and it was very satisfying to finally win that fight. She got more than her pound of flesh from my group that day. She even cooked it first a couple times 
Even then, I want to say I didn't regret it, but I did. Damn you, Bio, I did feel bad afterwards, heh.
Then I got drunk with Bull, and he had some pretty interesting things to say about how qun'ari see dragons. They hold dragons sacred, as much as anything else. They have a word for dragons: Ataashi, The Glorious Ones. One theory is, qun'ari have dragon blood in their veins, or did at some point in the past.
So I felt bad, and not because I may have killed a qun'ari "God" as my Inquisitor said, but because, through my actions, Thedas is now less than it was. Morrigan talks a bit about that when discussing the ancient rituals at the Temple of Mythal -- she is why I will do the rituals every time and not just jump through the hole in the floor.
But then, just before Bull and I had our third mug, he ended his thoughts with, "Dragons are the embodiment of raw power. But it's all uncontrolled, savage... So they need to be destroyed. Taming the wild. Order out of chaos."
Great, now I just feel like a Reaper.
... just kidding, though the "order out of chaos" line doesn't sit well, heh. What Bull said did make me feel better about fighting the Dragons. Majestic as they are, they are savage beasts. Hell, Frosty blasted us all with a fireball while airborne. How's that fair? That first time I didn't know what hit us
By the time I located her -- and this is not a gripe about KB/M camera controls
-- that fireball was already on us; we had no chance to dodge it.
So I'm not conflicted about fighting them, and if I have a chance to end the fight quickly, I'll take it. But I do respect the Dragon in all their majestic beauty.
And the loot, too.
