Your tags omg this is why you’re my favorite
Hahaha, I love reading tags on posts, so naturally I take liberties at tagging my own :D If people read them, awesome!

yeah I was.. honestly confused how those tweets were confirmation of anything
If anything, I read the exchange as facetious, especially in light of lore details that we already know from even as far back as DA:O regarding Grey Wardens:
Would a Warden who voluntarily joins the Order be afraid of danger when the freaking Joining ritual has a 50/50 chance of certain death, never mind a life of constant battle with monstrous beings with the added bonus of random shortened lifespan?
Increased appetite & libido, confirmed/implied by both Alistair and Morrigan in-game.
From these, I easily read those as jokes in expense of his older age, where the stereotypical regular older folk would rather relax on their rocking chairs out of harm's ways, comfy in their cotton jammies and fitting sandals, sipping warm tea, etc etc. Which is the total opposite of what we know of his character so far from the interview with his writer alone.
Man, explaining that does takes the whole humor out of it ;3;

That’s kind of mean. I get that the tweets could be interpreted a certain way, but we won’t know anything for sure unless they make an official statement.
When marketing decides to keep these a secret after pretty much putting the other 6 LIs on full media blast, it's understandable that some expectant fans are going to feel excluded, left out, and hanging. If their decision is because of spoilers, hell even the Head Writer has said there was nothing plot critical about the last two...though I would've worded it a little less derisively (if anything for the fact that some fans have been emotionally invested in the series' characters from the first game, so their anxiety over this is not surprising, even if it can get grating). Most are adept at managing expectations more than others, but people shouldn't be surprised that commodifying info that has no consequence in being shared leads to resentment and unnecessary anguish in others, whether they be directly involved or not.
To be honest, the DA:I feature in the latest PC Gamer UK I've just finished reading has a chockful of things I'd consider a lot more spoilery than just the names of characters people can look forward to romancing in-game. So pardon me if I feel even more perplexed at the inconsistency and arbitrariness in the DA:I marketing team's approach at disseminating information.

Don’t ever stop drawing pictures of Blackwall and your inquisitor. They are too cute together and they bring smiles to everyone’s faces. :)
I won't, haha. I am way too deep in Big Beardy Bara x Diminutive Tricksy Minx Hell to stop XD;;

*Hugs* Yeah, it ain’t official until a dev makes it so. This is similar to IB’s back and forth, and confusion about his status as an LI, even to the point where news outlets were posting it like it was fact before it was confirmed. I shake my head.
It's frustrating to watch things snowball into a misinformation mess when it is avoidable. Really hope it's worth it come November, guys.
It's a different feel from pre-DA:O days, that's for sure.
