Dragon Age is titled that way precisely BECAUSE the dragons are powerful AND rare enough to get the whole age titled after them. There are 2-5 dragon fights in the game, depending on the choices that you make, and all of them would last 15-30 minutes and are considerably challenging regardless of your level.(unlike Skyrim dragons and especially the final boss; just ask Milkman). The effects of their presence are also very well explained, with detailed codexes and in-game effects like Dragon cults, etc.
