It's not that simple. Archdemon is a tainted Old God which takes the form of a... dragon. Darkspawn are defeated but not eliminated, as they retreat to their vast underground hideouts, so you could perhaps say that you have won a battle, not a war. There were seven Old Gods, and five have arisen as Archdemons; two more to go... or perhaps not, as some things have changed, though it can't be really told whether for the better or for the worse.

Personally, I didn't play DA:O for fights with dragons but for an engaging story, great companions and a bittersweet romance. Two years old, you say, as if it was as long ago as never. For me, it is still alive.
