Setting that age....what do you choose ?

[-Bonk-]

When the option is available to set characters age do you look at the model and try to be accurate? Do you shave a few years off no matter what?

For me it depends on how the character looks.. and then i go back a few years 🤣🤣

Based on looks and maybe go back and adjust depending on how the character is written

I try to get it to the age they look, sometimes I go lower.

As low as it'll go. SSP lets me set it at 9...but some games actually ask "Are you sure? This won't make sense story wise...."

 

[osiris789]

Definitely with whatever seems canon. Though honestly very few games I ever see that number after inputting it at the beginning anyway

If it doesn't make sense story wise then I go with what makes sense story wise.

Ditto, I usually dial it back 3 or 4 years. Obviously i crank it way back for those "18" year olds that are really 12

Try on how it looks

 

[slipperysuckery69]

I try to be as accurate as possible.

 

[ZLysis]

i default by 18, then depending on the look i turn back the clock a bit

 

[Kaven]

I just go by what looks right.

 

[VND]

I try at look and behavior. And go several times back if it does not fit story wise.

 

[Republican Bear]

Younger the better but I prefer the age to fit the game at least.

[frozted]

I go by what they look like. If a girl looks 10 we aren't keeping the ridiculous 18 default.

look at model, although sometimes it's hard to tell when dev slaps ten layers of makeup on them

I gotta agree with you

 

[Nexus0075]

I always try to roughly estimate the age and then use that

Never get why devs go the makeup route (with obvious goth exception) just make a better model lol
