Я тут подумала, а они ведь реально лукавят насчет Каллена. Вот кусочек интервью Викса.
The original, if I’m remembering this right, was Mike Laidlaw, our creative director and lead designer, he and I at lunch, I said, ‘you know, I kinda would like to see if the Iron Bull could maybe be romanceable.’ and he went, ‘Really?’ and I went ‘yeah okay I know, but we got Cullen, we got all the quote ‘normal’ romances, we got those, but just imagine if he like, you know, leaned in and pinned your arms to the wall and said ‘[deep voice] are you ready to do this’, and Mike went ‘okay! You clearly have a vision.’ We were there with our wives, his wife Mel and my wife Karen and both of them went ‘Yes. Please. That. Do that thing you just described’. Okay! Apparently there’s a target audience for that! So we took it from that.
Из интервью следует, что Каллена задумали делать романсабельным раньше, чем Быка. Но это даже логически невозможно. Ведь и он, и Солас из доп. романов. Видимо поэтому у Каллена роман такой гендеро-нейтральный. За весь роман он один раз называет инквизиторшу миледи (поправьте, если это не так).
