Forever... Or more accurately, until people stop buying into it.  Seeing as they got a buncha lore and they could probably throw in another timeline in either past or future.

Kinda like Tamriel...

Even the demons which really were just spirits of concepts that were antagonistic towards human, were at their heart neutral... like all spirits. They only somewhat had free will of their own if any at all.
This is not changed.

how many dragons are there in the game

I expect hundreds of dragons from a game named "Dragon Age", do not disappoint me.
There are at least 10 High Dragons and an infinite number of lesser dragonlings.

The non-dragons-sell-stuff-put-it-in-the-name reason it's called Dragon Age is because it takes place during the Dragon Age (in whatever-the-world-is-called each century gets it's own "X Age" name). Do called because dragons, which were thought extinct, have begun reappearing in the world again.

Just sayin'.

The Ages are seperated into 100 year segments and are named after omens that happen at the end of the previous age.  Originally the 'Dragon' Age was going to be named something else; but then they got a really bad omen about the return of Dragons, which had been thought almost literally driven to extinction hundreds of years before.  Basically the name just signals roughly one hundred years of strife and conflict. -- Lore.

What is it with recent fiction being about dragons returning? We have Skyrim, Game of Thrones (although the first is now twenty years old, so it only kinda half-counts), and now we have this. I know I'm missing a few here.

I think it started when the first Eragon novel was released; and people got all excited about dragons after the Harry Potter rush ended.  That's my personal opinion, anyway.

What if Mebbeth were romanceable?  Why is Bioware so ageist?

ed. Obviously I meant Flemeth.  But the point stands.

I'm not sure about the dragon-hype myself, but I once saw someone give a little thesis thing on how the state of fiction about dragons is about how people feel about the upper class.
So basically if dragons are all nice then people are feeling good about it, but if they're greedy assholes and killed by the thousands....

Given how... not really hidden dragons were in Dragon Age 1...

I am starting to think they were full of it.

Ok, sorry I haven't been posting in this, actually got the game and then um...well was busy PLAYING the game. :P

So, its pretty awesome. Still lacks the tactical depth of the first game in favor of the "lol so action" style of the mistake, but makes up for it with STRATEGIC depth.
Really feels like you're running a fuckhueg organization, I would go so far as to say this game is what Fable 3 SHOULD have been.

The Orlesian Masquerade was awesome as well, definitely a high point.

Just finally killed my first dragon (the easiest one) at level 17. I am terribad at the tactical set up in this game compared to Origins (where honestly the tactical depth was just Cone of Cold for the most part). I'm really loving my assassin-archer combo, where I pop in and out of stealth, have long shot do chains of critical hits for several thousands of damage and long draw do almost 10k damage with the right conditions.

I still haven't ridden the bull, though, dammit.

Speaking of that Masquerade, how did you resolve the situation?
