>thus their canonicity is dubious
That's not how it works. If it's something officially released by the powers that be, it's canon unless *specifically* stated otherwise. Doesn't matter if it's from an interview, doesn't matter if it's from the manual. Unless it's obviously and directly contradicted in-game (like manuals or game guides for old games that would state things that are outright contradicted or non-existent in the final release), you don't get to go "not canon 'cause I don't like it". None of the ages have been contradicted. No dev has ever come out stating Cass isn't 37 when they could've. Thus >>719962084's ages are correct and canonical to the 2010 action role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas
