Dakota Eliason asked Neven Iliev:

Hey don't know if anyone else noticed this and already asked, but when people curse by saying Teresa's tit's or other by other parts is it a reference to the way they curse in the the Dragon Age games?

Neven Iliev Not intentionally. I imagine Dragon Age's writers did the same thing I did, which was look at how we swear IRL. A lot of the cursing is based on religion and taking the lord's name in vain and all that. People in my story saying 'Teresa's tits!' is my in-universe equivalent to that. It's the same for 'Maker's Balls' in DA or any number of other fictional settings.

This video from one of the writers behind Final Fantasy 14 explains it pretty well, on top of being a funny story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS--i...
