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.
