As for Blackwall and Solas... well, there is some truth to that thing about men in their 30s preferring women in their 20s, and women in their 30s preferring men in their 40s.
I would have felt super awkward shipping, say, someone like Cousland who is obviously very young to an already middle-aged Alistair, in example, but since all my PCs will be 30-something this time around (maybe this is where I self-insert after all?), I feel very comfortable having them dating hot daddy elf and hot daddy bara in their 40s.
You know I just some plots on this on Tumblr, how the age women find attractive correlates roughly with their own age (i.e. ages as they age), whereas for men it basically stayed in the 20s no matter how they old they are. I don't recall the source of the data, tho, so it could be B.S. Even if interesting...
This is OT but am I the only one not bothered by the age bracket of our Inquisition? Blackwall's old enough to be my father and Solas almost is, but it doesn't faze me.
Never has fazed me that most characters are younger than me, but I like that most of them are closer to my age this time.
