I can’t believe 2021 is in 3 months

One of the things I actually really like about Dragon Age is that not all the companions/romances are young, spunky 20 year olds who never age. A lot of them are older and it’s nice. Anders didn’t join the grey wardens until he was about 30 (give or take a few years) and he can’t be romanced until act 2 when he’s 34. Nathaniel doesn’t become a warden until he’s 30-31 either. Cassandra is 36-37 and Varric is 40 in inquisition. Cullen has most of his younger years stolen by trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and things that he’ll regret later; it isn’t until he’s 30 that he starts making real progress to redeem and improve himself.
Being younger right now really sucks because a lot of the time it feels like your losing your youth and the best years of your life. So it’s nice to think that those best years will happen later. It’s NICE to see people without any close friends finding their found family in their 30s and 40s. It’s NICE to see people become accomplished and discover their talents and passions later in life. It’s NICE to see older characters have just as much development as younger ones.
