Do you play true to your age?

Post » Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:45 pm

The title says it all... or most of it, anyways. Okay, to be more precise, the question is this; when you make your character, is he/she true to your real age? Or do you prefer playing someone younger/older than you?

My characters (Human ones) are heavily based on myself, so yes, they're around 20 years old.

I never play younger characters, I sometimes play older characters, but those old ones still think like a 24 year old, as I can't change my thinking:)

I usually make them fairly young. I would be tempted to go a lot older though, if the aged faces look better than they have done in previous games.

I'm old enough to want to play a character who is younger. :whistling:

My character is 10 years younger.

About my age or even younger actually. Really depends on what kind of character I RP.

Depends. Usually around my own age (25) if not older. Sometimes I just like to play an old bearded wizard or an Elf, who's average lifespan is stretched out anyway.

Mostly play characters aged 20-30, so yeah, I do.

I forgot to answer this myself. I always play characters that are my age since I'm somewhat young. Unfortunately, I have no way to predict how I'll be when I get older. Hopefully I'll take the aging process in stride rather than in denial.

Well, I'm almost 60, and although that might be...interesting...I play characters who are in the 27-32 range I would say. Old enough to have some experience, but still physically strong. :dance:

Always play as my own age. Couldn't imagine playing as a 60 year old when I'm only 20

Most of my characters range from 29-37, unless they are of elven-kind so I'm not being "true" to my age. I'm 18.

Same here, only aged 32. I design my characters very much to resemble me irl.

I see what you did there! :tongue:


Well, I'm 32 and I normally do like to stay close to that. I like my age! But sometimes, for RP purposes, I'll knock my character's age down to say 22-24 as it seems less believable in certain settings that a 32 year-old woman in that particular game world would be unmarried and not have a herd of children by that age. Or maybe that's just due to my lack of talent for creating a fitting backstory for an older woman (I don't want to kill off kids or husbands).

I'd definitely like to see more older characters though, and I'm thinking alot about making a much older female in Skyrim and basing her a bit off of Flemeth from Dragon Age. She was a bada$$ witch! :lol:

No, I like to role play more mature characters.
