discussion adjustable / selectable age

[majesticp]

It mostly just makes me try to find what the real intended ages are.

One of the things that I really like in a game is when you can set or adjust the age of the characters.
Unfortunately that seems to be not common, even less so with out some hard coded restrictions.

I looked and I couldn't find a thread that seems to address it.
There for, what are some of your favourite games where ages can be modified.

corrupted love and parental love both let you do it (and in fact make more sense if you do it). I'd also say they're both fun games. honestly I see it less and less these days since it almost feels like devs are either inserting accurate ages, or not making characters that would need adjustable ones to begin with, possibly out of fear of crackdowns.

If ever given the option I'll generally just try and roughly match it to whatever I think the character is portrayed as. It's a nice enough choice to have but I guess it kinda becomes a moot option whenever I have to interact with one

its the best way we can play our games with the canon or at least intended age of the character. But looking at whats happening now, that might not be enough.

 

[ooshlaga]

usually is a bit annoying since i just want to match the portrayed age of the character

 

[yobnis13]

It's okay for me, but only if your appearance changes with age. Among these games, I can recommend "Lifeplay".

i like so I can assign the age that makes the most sense to me

2/ Just like you have people that find being address as a sibling, parents, master, etc during the act exciting, there are people that find it a turn on when a (taboo) age gets mentioned. In other words, if a woman not only addresses them as 'daddy', 'brother', 'son' but also ask them about how they for instance enjoy their 'insert age' body it adds a little spice.

I think this motivates some people. Though, I played a game where I was able to switch, but in also said what the default, intended age was, which was really nice. I know what the dev intended, but I also know how to expect this character to behave. Once I saw a default listed, I hated that it wasn't in the other games I played where I had the choice to change their age.

It makes no sense. Shouldn't the cg change

 

[MattShizzle]

It's always good. They can keep the default 18 "all characters are 18+" and let those who want change.

Even though it's not a age modifier there's games that have sliders to make you taller, shorter, petite, busty, youthful, elderly and more. Like dragons dogma, skyrim, saints row, Fallout, Monster hunter and more.

Those aren't the kinds of games being talked about...

 

[SilentHunter]

I don’t care about that; I never change the age in games. I just find it more interesting to play as adults (25+) than as minors or teenagers who are like children to me, or even like grandchildren, and whose problems don’t bother me at all.

I enjoy being able to adjust the age in games as long as it's consistent with the images so it doesn't kill the immersion for me it can make the dialog so much better for me.

 

[Keyller27]

That's cool but most of the time it's badly integrated like the characters saying "hey i am NUMBER years old now"

 

[xiaoxiaozy]

Just to get around the review

 

[dasdas24]

age and relationship inputs are completely off putting as a player

age will just be a number mentioned one time and doesn't impact anything. relationship means every mention of them now is grammatically incorrect

worst of all is a name input for other characters

 

[solo1234]

Age must be equal to the character model and plan for that character.
