I know some DA2 fans will say the wardens story is over if he died but if you went with morrigan or got her book at the end of witch hunt dlc then its clear theres another story going on for the warden.

Dont split the fanbase again, If hawke is getting a cameo in DA3 I really hope DA1 fans will have a warden cameo, All you have to do is have the warden wear full warden armor with a helm and shape his body the size of an Dwarf/elf/human.

Just to be clear, we haven't said what we're doing regarding Hawke (or the Warden, for that matter)-- whether it be a cameo, a follower slot or no personal appearance at all. All we said with regards to Hawke is that any resolution of what he/she began would come in the next installment.
Could we do a cameo, or something more significant? Yes, but if we do one (for either former PC), it would need to be respectful of the player's choices regarding them-- most if not all-- or what would be the point? It'd hardly be fanservice to see a character that has no relation to your import, and my personal take on it is that unless we did so we should avoid doing it at all.
As much as people might try to conflate the DA series with Mass Effect (understandably, I suppose, as it's two different projects from the same company), Dragon Age is not a trilogy. DAO and DA2 were self-contained stories that each contributed towards the greater arc of Thedas' history, and any future game(s) would likely be the same. If someone is expecting to play the same character over multiple titles, they're looking in the wrong place-- as we never suggested that would ever be the case. My hope is that we do the imported states more effectively, and use them in more significant ways (whether it be about these particular characters or not), with regards to the ongoing history of Thedas that the player is impacting by way of their choices.

It sounds, perhaps, as though you believe a reappearance that could satisfy all canon choices is not impossible, David. This is intriguing indeed!
Satifying game canon choices, yes. Satisfy head canon-- probably not. There are people who possibly imagine in their head what their character went on to do as a result of their choices, and there's no chance we could respect all imagined possibilities if a character was revisited... but that would be true even if the character was playable.
That doesn't really bother me, though. I'll violate head canon at will. I think we can do variances based on game canon choices better than we did in DA2, however, depending on the resources we have on hand-- all it requires is unique content (ie. content that someone sees only if they have that variation, and ideally that content would be more than just alternate dialogue lines). The more resources we have to provide unique content, the more consequential we can make imported canon choices.
Will we get those resources? Ideally, yes-- but it's best to wait on such promises until we can prove them.
