So they said something like DA origins were all rumors,so who is actually dead and who isn't?
Very confusing.
And did Anders survive da2 in canon?

I honestly have no idea which characters and storylines actaully happened and which ones they changed.

We have a "default" that applies if you are not importing a save. Some people like to think these are our favorite or preferred results, but generally it's the version of events that produce a result which doesn't require you to have any knowledge/investment in the outcome (does X decision produce a character that you may never have met, or a situation that you wouldn't care about since you never played the game it was in, or is there a version where said character is dead or said event is irrelevant? If so, the latter is the default.)
The only "canon" we have is with regards to events that the player had no choice regarding. The Fifth Blight was defeated by the Hero of Ferelden-- that's canon. Kirkwall's Chantry exploded-- that's canon. If the player had a choice involved, that choice may have varying levels of reactivity-- from having different dialogue, having a replacement character involved, or actually having a divergent plot branch.
I've very little patience for fans hyperventilating over the fact that not every choice results in a divergent plot branch-- and that it not doing so is somehow violating the sanctity of the fact they made a choice in an earlier game. Or suggesting that, if a choice doesn't have the result they expected, that the result is a canon being imposed... and that's ignoring the several definitions of the word "canon" that seem to be in play.
"Plot" is not necessarily "canon". We will determine where the plot goes. The choices you make can impact that plot. Tertiary material such as novels and comics do not override your choices in your personal game continuity.
If that's confusing, then simply wait until more information on DA3 becomes available. Panic is unnecessary. Unless you're worried that every choice you made previously won't be respected to the same degree-- in which case, by all means panic. As that will definitely happen.
