migulao Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Im sure that you will be able to change your age in the character creation screen. Although I remember seeing in a thread that there aren't going to be bonuses and penalties associated to age. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Teesee Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's been discussed, yup. You may change your character's age, but it would only be for RP purpose. No bonuses / penalties linked to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Survivor1986 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 More differnce in physical appearance would be way better and would enhance the realism and roleplay value: Examples: fit: Stronger / faster Hungryobese: Slower AND stronger / less stamina AND needs more food to fight hungerskinny: less food and water consumption / Less carry weight, weaker attacksnormal: balanced^^ tall: more strength / easier to seeshort: harder to see / less strengh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDeliberto Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 What do older people need less sleep? Older people need to rest a lot and get to sleep during the day (70% Of the seniors I know) And maybe for young people to have a little happiness bonus to eat snacks and stuff (like the nutrition system to come would be balanced) And young people may not have the age of 18 (The media does not look kindly games where adolescents characters can die, bleed, slay dragons and drink) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squishward_tennisballs Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think age should work similarly to traits and trait points. For example going as young would have pros (like you said before about faster speed, etc.) but the cons would outweigh the pros (lower strength, faster metabolism, etc.) so it would give you a few trait points to play as young. Playing as an adult would be no different than it is now and would not give or take away any trait points. Going as elderly would be almost entirely debuffs and would give you a large amount of trait points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
