Half on-topic, half off-topic.

What (roughly) age do you usually choose for game characters? Also, I'd be interested in knowing people's real ages here.

As for me, I usually make young characters, within the left-most half-inch or so of the slider, though I occasionally make them closer to the middle for roleplaying a legion veteran or something. I'm 22, but I'll be 23 in less than a month.

How's about you guys?

It depends.
For the Imperial guy I'm doing the Main Quest with I chose around 35-45, something like that.

Theres a way of telling there age !?

Mine always have the slider all the way to the left. And I'm 15

Sort of.
When the age slider is all the way to the left I think the age is like 20, and when its all the way to the left its about...I say 75.

Ok, mines all the way to the left

Always all the way to the left.

I'm all the way to the left I just like keeping it simple and I am 16


I am also moving this to general because well this isn't really Oblivion specific

me 2. on both accounts

There have been a few topics with the hints of age lately. It feels a bit strange yet good that I have at least something in common with a different genearation. As I've said in another thread, the kids are all grown up now and the oldest grandchild is almost 6. My girlfriend is a bit older, so I'm not that old, lol! Just have always liked roleplaying games since my first introduction to D&D, expert set.

OK that is enough about my age!

I put the slider all the way to the left, and i'm 14.

I'm 16 and I usually make the slider between the left and halfway. One time I made it all the way to the right for a Khajit and made the fur as dark as possible and it sort of resembled the rat from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I just go with whatever makes the new character I'm making more, realistic and ideal for my build. Wizard? I use an old man. etc.

I'm 15, while I make my arg characters to the part where they have the most green on their face.

It all depends on the character and race, really. If I'm playing an Argonian, I mess around with the age until I like the colour of their face. With my Breton battlemage I wanted him to look as close to the classic wizard look as possible, so weathered features, grey hair and beard were the order of the day. Most of my characters are fairly young though.

I feel old now lol.

1978, the red and blue box sets.

my dad used to play that.... but i just go with between the middle and the left, i dont know why but it just seems that that turns out the best always

I have the blue box version lol

Eh, I just mess with the slider till I find something I like. On the file im playing atm(a redguard), its half way between the far left and the middle I think. Guess that would make him the 20s or 30s?

16, turning 17 in about two weeks.

Coloring in the plastic dice with a white wax crayon. Oh yeah. D&D boxed sets. Fiend Folios with the githyanki on the front and a DMG with dudes stealing a red gem out of the big idol's head. It sounds like Bear has about a decade on me, but I'll bet he's played Zork and Hunt the Wumpus.

Never heard of Hunt the wumpus, but have played zork a time or 2.

Here I was thinking I was the oldest, but Bear might have me. It would be close, I think, hard to tell, since I've never married, and don't have any kids, or grandkids. Although, I am old enough to of had grandkids.

So anty up Grand Pa, I'm 43.

There were a few lines to read between there, lol. My girlfriend is a bit older, they are her kids, but we've been together for 11 years now. So I call them my kids and grandkids affectionately, not blood.

I am 35!

I'm 35 going on 13, it seems.

The slider is nailed, tacked and duct taped wayyyy to the left
