My problem with it is that they are a rare species, I'm not interested in driving them to extinction.

I might kill a few, but I'll never chase after all ten.

My reaction to my first encounter with dragons (in The Hinterlands) in gif form:

When I first saw the dragon:

 

When I approached it:

 

When it lit my party up, 1-shotting everyone while I bolted like my ass was on fire (it probably was):

 

The fight that the dragons put up is really fun but, like you, I did leave them alone if they weren't a threat...although I am planning on doing a playthrough where I slay every dragon. I will not feel good about it

No, they're too dangerous a species to live. The codex says this-
 
"High dragons are seldom seen. They spend most of their time sleeping and mating, living off the prey their drakes bring back. But once every hundred years or so, the high dragon prepares for clutching by emerging from her lair and taking wing. She will fly far and wide, eating hundreds of animals, most often livestock, over a course of a few weeks and leaving smoldering devastation in her wake. She then returns to her lair to lay her eggs and will not appear in the skies again for another century"
 
They wake up, and kill and destroy everything for miles around in their feeding frenzy. The one high dragon near Kirkwall killed hundreds of miners, and likely only didn't start attacking the actual city afterward because Hawke killed her before she could. They weren't nearly wiped out for fun, they're living natural disasters like a really bad earthquake or something. Every high dragon out there is a potential city-ending threat.
 

When I got to the dragon that was sleeping I actually walked right up to it and just...froze. I just sat there staring at it on my screen, unable to bring myself to attack a poor creature that was just minding its business and taking a nap. If it hadn't woken up on its own I might have just stood there indefinitely.

Yes, they're amazing creatures and I feel a little bad for killing them. However, my priorities as a gamer will always win out in the end. I've literally played games where I'm slaughtering innocent animals and apologizing to the screen because I just need those crafting materials to make myself a better piece of armor / get a health upgrade / increase my carrying capacity.

See, posts like this is why I'm responding. That "napping" dragon? Its first order of business once awoken would have been to either go on a rampage and start destroying nearby towns and killing hundreds of animals by itself, or would have went and got pregnant from a drake... Then went on with the death and destruction. That is their instinct, to sleep and sleep and sleep until it finally wakes up hungry. Unless it has a dragon cult taking care of it, in which case it's happy to not go on rampages seeing as it has free food being given to it and its young without it having to put any effort in.

If they cannot be tamed they must be destroyed. So no, not a particular desire to destroy those adorable things, but it had to be done.

well , they are extinct  creatures that comeback   from exctinction with only 10 female dragon ,  10 in the entire thedas and you kill them to look shinny in your ugly outfit . 
they should be protected like panda and white hino

Yes, you do.  I got a quest called "Breeding Grounds" from Baron Desjardins in Suledin Keep, Emprise du Lion, saying that if the Red Templars weren't bad enough, they were dealing with dragons too.  And if the dragons started breeding, the locals would be done for.  Addressing this concern gave me the war table mission "Learn More About Dragons."

 

You get a quest from a noble. But no villages were torched.

No, but Hivernal and Kaltenzahn are ice dragons, and with Emprise du Lion frozen in, they certainly don't help.

That's kind of how I feel about it too.

[FiveThreeTen]

No, I have too much fun killing them.

[Shari'El]

I always felt bad killing them, I had two completionist PTs so I killed all in two PTs (first PT was an incomplete completionist PT but I didn't like the character :<) but I did it reluctantly it both times. They are beautiful, majestic, near-extinct creatures, and when their HP is low they look so miserable.

Some of the dragons summon their offsprings, which makes me even more reluctant since it's obvious these creatures are just trying to survive and hunt for their children. It's the same as the great bear in Emerald Graves (which I simply refuse to kill in the current PT), at first it's just another great bear, but then there are 5 cubs attacking you and you need to kill them, it's horrible

I plan to stir away from dragon in the canon (current) PT unless they are a big threat (Empire du Lion).
