Konrad Knox Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This is from the roleplayer dorks.Please let us set the character age, make it like 21 to 90 or something.It doesn't have to do anything, just helps immersion. lerk, Dude4Life, Johnny Fisher and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A guy and his cat Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I have already suggested this, but with effects. But the age of the character seems to be a low priority thing as far as I know, even if is only for inmersion without effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bower Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Over 70 should give you fragility trait which means you don't want to fall out any second story windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah, I've seen this suggested many times. But I've never seen a twenty-something year old that had balding, gray hair. At the very least, they could set it to an age that accommodates more player appearances, something like mid 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Knox Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 The reason it's low on priority, is probably because you're all suggesting it with some effects xDWhich means more work for devs.All I want is a number input field to display the age I want.

ziomekMonty Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah good idea but as we all get older we have more life experience so in pz young survivor should be fast strong agile but less experienced in different aspects of life like knowledge, survival etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasted_Taco Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 How about with more age you have more experience (trait points) but you receive negative traits related to age (hard of hearing for example something that gives you something negative according to age) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this has been discussed a hundred times before, but is always nice to try to add up suggestions when the suggestion comes up again, but really most people suggest characters aging, not starting up with a different age.

Fuzzy Wolfy Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The only problems I've heard of stems from when people suggested that age affect your character in any significant way, like say, death. There was a thread about this topic suggesting that the player should eventually die of old age, if they survive for long enough, and I honestly think that's a terrible idea. To a lesser extent, I also think that age shouldn't really offer any changes... There are too many variables and potential balancing issues to keep in mind. If the devs do want to add in an 'age' customization factor, I've got no problem with it, but it's when I'm forced to accept certain traits due to it that it becomes a problem to me.
