From the start of the Inheritance Cycle, Christopher Paolini has had an image of what he wants the books to be. He has decided that four books is the number that would best fulfill that image.
Christopher Paolini wrote the Inheritance Cycle series, which includes the books "Eragon," "Eldest," and "Brisingr."
Mostly adventurous fantasy fiction.
The author, Christopher Paolini, was inspired to write the Eragon series after a dream he had about a young dragon and his rider. He began working on the story at the age of 15 and self-published the first book when he was 19.
There will be a total of four books in The Inheritance Cycle. Christopher Paolini has advised that he still intends to continue writing after this, but it will be with a different storyline and most likely some new sets of characters. He hasn't ruled out bringing some old characters back.
Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon because he wanted to create a story that combined his love for fantasy literature with his fascination for dragons. He began writing Eragon at a young age, and it eventually grew into a bestselling series known as the Inheritance Cycle.
3 It was 3 but there was too much for him to fit in 3 books so now there will be 4. =] Yes, Christopher needs more room to write, so its not a Trilogy now.
I think Eragon book four is the last book because at the end of book three it said it will conclude in book four. It is possible that Paolini will just keep on extending the series- he has mentioned that he has plans to continue to write books set in the same world.
He intends to continue writing about events in Alagaesia, but Eragon's story is more or less finished, and the Inheritance cycle complete. Many speculate that he will write about dragon riders in training to Eragon and their repopulation of the continent as the ultimate peace-keepers.
Possibly. He has stated that he may write more novels set in Alagaesia, including a direct continuation of the Inheritance Cycle.

No one's sure, he's hasn't set a date yet but my guess is since it takes him four years to write his books - about 2012 or so.
