I don't know how well Bioware handles age though. Alistair is supposed to be 21 in Origins, which I NEVER would have guessed or even believed if it hadn't been confirmed by devs.
No...I don't have a link
I've heard that before, too. I just wish they'd make a male LI that actually looked that young.
Not that I could romance Alistair, anyway.

Me neither. And even knowing it, when I replay DA:O I still think he's at least near 30.
Also, about Viviene, it seems to me that she's going to be this great female character that you cannot romance, like aveline
I've been staring at DHMG in the group shot for a while now trying to convince myself he'll look young in the next screenshot we see, but the shadows on the planes of his face just don't read young. Cole has the smooth cheeks that make him look young, and I'm just not seeing it in DHMG or any other male companion. Kind of... strange that our potential male LIs all look older.
Yeah, I think Cole is the only one that looks younger. It's been over a decade and Leliana still looks younger than most of the dudes. She's aged very well. lol
My guess for ages for boys:
Cullen, Solas, DHMG, Varric: 30-40.
Iron Bul 25-35 maybe?
Grey Warden: 40-50.
Cole: 20?
Only Cole is close to my age group but he seems to have child like mentality so nope.
Cassandra is no younger than 30. So obviously we'll have older LIs this time
Tho to be honest neither Lelianna nor Zevran were in their early 20ies. Or Anders, even Merril according to toolset. They may look young but they're more or less mature adults
Cassandra is no younger than mid to late 30s. She was a teenager in DotS, and that was 20 years ago.
I would have actually guessed Iron Bull as way older, but I guess thinking about it, he's just so alien looking that it would be hard to guess.
So she is about 35 years old. Seems logicalCassandra is no younger than mid to late 30s. She was a teenager in DotS, and that was 22 years ago.
So she is about 35 years old. Seems logical
I see no point I'm having young adults in the team. Too unexperienced
Yeah, I'd say she is anywhere from 35-38, maybe 40.

Well yea he's hard to guess ^^ Somehow I see him younger but idk why, he could be even 40.
Pretty sure Zev and Leliana were in their 20s in DA:O. It wasn't surprising that the LIs in DA:O were on the younger side since the Warden was generally assumed to be very young in most of the Origins. The Inquisitor seems to have a larger age range.
I've heard that Alistair was 20, but I don't know about the others.
*cough* I'm 41 in a couple of weeks, I'm in no way, shape or form...old. Also remember that grey hair is not really a good indicator of age since some people go grey very very early, I don't have any at all. I remember being 20 and thinking "**** man, 40 is sooooo old", now I'm here I realise how silly a thing that was to say. The life one leads can impact their appearance too, Feathers is a GW, I'd expect him to look grizzled...
According to toolset she was 26. Zevran probably about the same agePretty sure Zev and Leliana were in their 20s in DA:O.

True. Not to mention that this time we a group of highly important and influental people. For them all to be young adults is simply illogical*cough* I'm 41 in a couple of weeks, I'm in no way, shape or form...old.

Sounds about right, thanks.

I think I read recently in WoT (I think that was where) that Grey Wardens age faster because of the taint. And GW doesn't look very old, just beardy. 
And yeah, I'm 35 and I'm starting to get some gray. It's just surprising it didn't happen sooner, my dad started graying at 18. (One of my sisters has taken after him a bit in her 20s that way...) Also I take after my mom in that I look younger than I am... I think I finally look like an adult...my height certainly hasn't helped there, pff.
I mean, I get that the request for younger guys maybe comes across as shallow, but the fact is that it's just impossible to find a character in a fantasy medium that I can really see myself in. Maybe I'll appreciate it in 15 years, I guess. As is, Bioware is really the only source I know of that heavily features gay characters in fantasy. There's a lot of push I've seen for specifically trying to make gay characters "not a stereotype". People suggesting making them someone like the warden. The only one we've actually had is Cortez, who has a very stereotypically manly look with the bulky figure, shaved head, chiseled features. I get the fear some people have, but it makes me feel like that's what men should want to be, regardless of sexuality. The message feels like, "see, gay men can be as good as the super masculine straight men". But what if you don't want to be that? If you don't want to be the grizzled, older guy, or the muscular, Captain America looking guy, then you're doing male wrong, it seems like. The guys I see people calling "pretty boys" are way more masculine than I am, or ever wanted to be, or want my partner to be. It seems like the only way for males to be "unconventional" is to push even further into hyper-masculinity, like Iron Bull.
I'm not saying that all of the men should be young, but it would really be nice if we could get one eventually that looked as young as several of the females already have (early 20s) and that could maybe subvert gender stereotypes at least a little. I mean, at least not being extremely masculinized physically. It's something I feel like is extremely lacking in media, generally, but especially the fantasy genre.

Goodness, yes, when I was 17 I thought 28 sounded very adult but once I hit around 27-30 I had some reassessment. Now early 20s seems a young "kid" to me. And 40 sounds young and vibrant. Ah, life.
Also, I started getting grey when I was 19. However, I've always looked young for my age, people were still mistaking me for 18 in my mid-to-late 20s. Greying doesn't necessarily mean anything about age. But to be fair, I suppose that in art, where visual information is important to get across in character design, it often is an indicator of age.
My brain boggles at the idea that the companion LIs in Origins were in their early or mid 20s. Morrigan, Alistair, Leliana, and Zevran seemed *at least* in their late 20s to me. I always imagined the WardenPC was the youngest of the group.

I've had to erase part of my comments a dozen times as I am not certain if you refer solely to *physically* masculine/hypermasculine or are also referencing demeanor as well. Part of it dips into the "push to make gay characters not be a stereotype" and a good deal of that push isn't based on physical appearance but on some very exaggerated personality and demeanor stereotypical portrayals. If we're speaking solely of physical appearances, then yes, I'll agree that men in general could handle more diversity in visual representation outside of hypermasculine hues.
Actually I am with you on that Deviija, I thought they was older than what I found out last night for DA characters.

Morrigan and Alistair seemed young to me. Mostly due to their personalities and attitudes. Morrigan is all teenagery-I-know-better-than-you-mom-I-do-what-I-want-no-one-tells-me-what-to-do!!!111 and Alistair was all uncertain and curious. Both were very stubborn when it comes to opinions and kind of naive in their owns ways relationships-wise
Zevran and Lelianna, though, left an impression of people who have gone through a lot. And they had pretty succesful cariers as well. Too successful to achieve at a young age

Yep. People thinking Alistair was 30 boggle me. He acts too childish for me to buy him as 30. Same with Morrigan.
DAI companions being older is good. Though my Inq's still only gonna be early 20ish so
