hey guys i was browsing around the wiki and i found "The Courier is more customizable than the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3, and is more akin to the Chosen One and the Vault Dweller. It is possible to edit the Courier's age as well as their appearance and gender." ( http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Courier )
what do yall think

Cool... I'm not sure if this was confirmed before or just a rumour, so its nice to have some facts...

In fallout 3, I assume since your born in the vault and 19 when you leave, you will be able to edit your age in NV. Maybe but ehhh who knows.

Good....
I wonder if we can still be 16.
Bet that'll cause some stir.
16 year old girl + fisto = instant ban.

But it's nice.
This way we can really customize them and roleplay as we want to roleplay.
We couldn't be an old veteran in Fallout 3.
Only a young advlt fresh out of a vault. >_>

this was confirmed a long time ago

Yes we do know (and have for a long time) that we can change the characters age. My geuss is that it will go between 16-60.
