This is pure speculation on my part, but I think the Warden may be just a little bit angry at the way events have unfolded since the Blight ended. I mean, he/she spent the majority of his/her first weeks as a Warden raising an army to fight the Darkspawn, who are driven back to the Deep Roads when the Warden slays the Archdemon (Dragon Age: Origins). Then he/she journeys to Amaranthine to fulfill her duty to the Order by commanding Vigil's Keep. The Warden then fights off another host of Darkspawn and can choose to strike a deal with the Architect so that the Blight never happens again (Dragon Age: Awakening). All in all, it's not been a rosy time for the Warden, but I think he/she can congratulate themselves in fighting the good fight and helping bring a spot of peace in Thedas...
...Only to see it crumble 7 years later when a former recruit (Anders) of his/hers commits a henious act of terrorism that sparks a bloody Mage and Templar conflict. I don't know about you, but my Warden would be pretty pissed off at the state Thedas is in now.
Very interesting. That would certainly be the case for a lot of the still-living Wardens. I like the way you think.

Well they should at least let us know what happened to the warden!
You can know what happened to the Warden by not choosing the God Baby ending or bringing Alistair to the endgame. The Warden is a very heroic pile of ashes. Voila, closure.
That is the flipside of all those "the Warden is whoever you want the Warden to be!" arguments.
And for the Wardens who aren't dead, why would you want to see them when it won't fit your imagination anyway? Just take the "walk into the sunset" deal and imagine whatever you want.
Most people would probably be very unhappy if the Warden's story ended in a way they didn't imagine--it's a no-win situation. I don't see why Bioware would ever address it. This way, everyone cries "But I don't know what happened!" but at least they still have some form of choice. Otherwise, it's like, "But my Warden didn't look like that/sound like that/act like that/wouldn't be doing that!" I can almost hear the caterwauling now. Seriously, it's no-win.
I'd rather hear the former than the latter, if it were me.
