Here's something to think about when it comes to age discourse in Baldur's Gate 3. All character in our party are adults, and have you seen their voice actors?
Neil Newborn, who plays Astarion, is 45 years old.
Jason Isaacs, who plays Lord Gortash (!!), is 60 years old.
I'd guess that Dave Jones, who plays Halsin, is also around in his 50s? I couldn't really find much info, but he's a perfect guy for the role. Even his personal description of his voice states: "naturally confident, friendly voice with warm, earthy tones". The description alone even SOUNDS like Halsin.
Devora Wilde, who plays Lae'zel, is 33 years old.
Jennifer English, who plays Shadowheart, is 28 years old, which I think is very fitting since you can see how Shadowheart is supposed to be younger than all of them. Jennifer's voice is soft and genuinely suits Shadowheart. (UPD: I stand corrected. Shadowheart is supposed to be around 35-40 years since she's half-elf, which makes Lae'zel the youngest of them.)
My point is: there are no children in the party & the actors are chosen accordingly. It's wild to me that people keep talking about characters looking 'too old' when it's a natural 'being alive and growing up' experience, and not some kind of a problem.

so one of the reasons jamie is so into sightseeing is because it reminds him of the good trip he took with his mom... which they partially took in order to replace the memories of his traumatic trip with his dad. I’m gonna lose it.

"and im gonna go buy party cups" awwww I do lowkey kind of feel bad for fabian this season like. obviously the more highly magical of the group have been favored while figuring out these god mysteries but. fabian's social maneuvering has been important too and his growth as a friend and his success on the owlbears. I don't think he's getting enough credit! especially with the election being so pivotal for the ritual!!! give him some praise!!!

Being a Jason Todd fan means wanting to believe he crochets/knits, but also wanting his fingers to be kinda messed up from clawing out of his coffin
