I swear, most of the problems with fandoms of 18+ games come from under 18s or puritanical young adults feeling they have the right to police said communities.
Go and play Dreamlight Valley if 'adult themes' are so disturbing.
the actors account might have minors following do you people ever put ur brains to think that not all their works is bg3 and not all followers are adults

I can't believe I'm debating with someone in my replies about Solas romance being canon. 🤣
- BioWare has never had canon Dragon Age romances.
- Most Inquisitors are male.
- The Keep default Inquisitor is female Trevelyan.
Oh, and Trespasser is not about the Solas romance 🙄

Random tweet earlier: "who would not say their Inky romanced Solas in their first Veilguard playthrough?!"
Look, I get that people are excited, have waited 84 years etc, but many non-Solasmancers also feel v. attached to their Inky & LIs and are hoping for a crumb of content. 😅

Still annoyed that people have the balls to harass devs for this.
Mod The Sims 4? They 'break' once a month.
Skyrim mods were buggered for ages over Christmas after it updated.
It's part of the deal when you arse around with a game.
Just take a break if it's that bad.
We’ll be talking in depth about what our mod support will look like soon. Been working on it since launch. As always, we’ll discuss it in our way with our community. Threats & toxicity against our devs & community teams will only harm the conversation. Please stop that.

As a fan of Cullen and Bull, I think it's fine if you still want to enjoy Davrin's character.
None of us knows what goes on in a stranger's mind (unless they're dense or arrogant enough to put it on social).
And many good people worked on his character & don't share his views.

I know Dragon Age has moved away from this, but I do really like it when a companion in a game expresses interest in the protagonist first.
Sure, sometimes it's messy - depending on their personality - but I like that too. It adds depth.

The idea that some BG3 fans are having a hissy fit about Dragon Age fans playing BG3 is completely ridiculous to me.

Also, to be fair to Gale, he was a Chosen of Mystra not that long ago and is used to having phenomenal magical powers.
He's already been humbled and is losing more and more of his power in Act 1.

These two helped me realise that you don't need to constantly help/rescue people to be worthy of love.
Cullen and Kaidan don't have 'loyalty missions', you don't need to do anything special to win their affection other than be a decent person.

One of the reasons Cullen x Inquisitor (Treveylan in my case) is my top tier relationship is that it feels like a proper partnership.
They're really mature and supportive of each other. And they know themselves well enough to be happy in a relationship.
In fact, screw it, I don’t give a shit about ships that piss you off, what’s a ship that fills you with absolute GLEE when you see it???

Seeing how people are treating Halsin & Raphael's actors (puritanical pearl clutching) and Astarion's actor (boundary crossing in his streams) makes me worried for Dreadwolf's actors.

This is why I don't get k*lling or skipping possible companions. These guys are probably not going to replay the game to get different story elements, so they're gutting their first (& prob only) experience of the game.
Skipping them on replay? Sure, I get that.

Also, I really don't mean it to be harsh. The fact is, an 18+ game will have gamers and actors engaging in the community who are 18 to over 70.
If you don't want to see what they like or share, block them. Otherwise you'll be constantly upset for no reason. You deserve better.

So, I think DA fans need to remember that the opinion of one dude with a platform means NOTHING.
What's important is how you rank your favourite. If Solas or Cullen is your no.1 (or anyone else), that means they're the best.
Screw what anyone else thinks.

When you play an RPG or open-world(/ish) game for the first time, do you immediately fall for all of the ‘urgent’ story points or just go off and explore? EG in DAI I headed straight for Mother G & then explored, but I’ve seen others run off into the hills for hours.

There's a video of what happens when you face Caz with Astarion already dead - you can detect thoughts on him & you discover how much he hates his life and immortality.

On fandom debates (like Ali King/Warden) you're always going to see them recycled because new people are always joining and giving their opinions.

If you play Cousland that romances him & you toughen him up, he wants to be King because he sees it as his right.
