In a discussion concerning the Dragon Age series, Bioware revealed their plans for the future along with the news of an unannounced Dragon Age II expansion pack ending up becoming cancelled.
Mark Darrah from Bioware mentioned future games in the series will focus a lot based on the results gained from both fan opinions and feedback from the first two games. Besides the official forums and social media sites, Bioware will also have its first public forum for future games starting at PAX East next month.
Quote:
“You’ve most certainly heard the rumors floating around, and unfortunately I can’t really comment on them. However, what I can say is that we’ve been thinking a lot about Dragon Age – what it means, and where it could go. This past year, we’ve spent a lot of time both going back to the ‘BioWare vault’ of games and re-examining them, and looking at some new possibilities that today’s industry allows.
“With that, the next thing for the Dragon Age team members and I to do is hear from you, and not just on the forums, or Facebook, or Twitter. We’ll be attending a number of conventions and gatherings, including PAX East in April. The most valuable thing we can get out of those meetings is to hear from you on those same topics – what does Dragon Age mean to you, and where would you like to see it go? We’re excited to hear what you have to say!”

Originally there were plans for an expansion DLC pack for Dragon Age II called "Exalted March" which would have ended Hawke's storyline from the main game. The project was eventually cancelled by EA and Bioware in favor of working on Mass Effect 3 and other projects at the time.
The DLC pack wouldn't have Hawke as a playable character but Bioware still has plans in the future to end his story although most likely now as part of a potential Dragon Age III game.
