Hopefully Bioware allows for more flexibility for the age of your warden in DA2. I'm almost 30 and I'd feel more comfortable playing a character who's 25-30. Most rpgs have a main character who's in their teens or 21-22 at most. It just feels strange that a human noble who's probably no older than 20 is out leading the fight against the darkspawn, rather than some battle-tested veteran.

I also think the dwarf noble warden could be 30+ because not only does Trian look middle aged, but Bhelen doesn't exactly look young either, and you would be the middle child. King Endrin didn't have much longer to live, so if the dwarf noble was 20ish, then Endrin would have been 50 or so when they were born, though I suppose it's possible.  There's no mention of the dwarf noble's mother.

I do wonder about Wynne's age.  Wynne and the other npcs make constant references to her old age (along with her wrinkles and gray hair), but yet there she is on the battlefield, running about.  She must really keep in shape, and eat healthy to keep up with all of her 20-30 year old squad mates.

Its so funny that you just created this because I came onto this site to find out the same answer (for my city elf).

Here's what I'm thinking. I'm just gonna list it and you guys can tell me what you think.

Human Noble: 18-20
City Elf: 18-20 (Although probably 18 because they kept talking about coming of age and stuff)
Mage:20-24 (It seems like it would take a long time to train enough to be a good mage)
Dalish Elf: 18-24 (I had no idea about this one)
Dwarf Noble: 23-28 (Your the middle child and Trian is pretty old so I'm guess you're older too)
Dwarf Commoner: 18-22 (Your sister doesn't look that old so I'm guessing the PC is pretty young)

Here's what I was thinking for the traveling party. (Really I'm not sure though)
Alistair: 23
Leliana: 26
Morrigan: 24
Sten:43
Zevren: 29-32
Oghren:45
Wynne: 65

i would say alistair 22, leliana 25, morrigan 22, sten 35, oghren 30, wynne 55. zev i am unsure about, but would go more with 25 or so.

[Ayanko]

Hmmm, Yet again this has been bugging me after reading the books, the child of Fiona and Maric can't be Alistar....Age wise.
Anora is coming up to her 30th year. Source codex pages (Gotta love dem codex pages)
Making Calin what 27-26 years of age. Theres a two year age cap between the two.
Alistar is 22+ that we can all agree on...he can't be any younger.
The child of Fiona and Maric was 9 years younger than King Calin.
Making that child now....around the age of 18-20.
Human Noble Male anyone?
Duncan:- "Congratulations it's a boy"
I think that fits quite well...That HNM could actually be related to Alistar, would put a twist on the plot. And of course he's a male so no incest plot.
Or I could be saying complete nonsence.

Morrigan - 25-32

Wynne - 55-65

Zevran - 23-30

Sten - 35-45

Oghren - 35-45

Leliana - 22-27

Alistair - 16-21 - he is probably the most controversial given information from the books and such, his age seems to always be pegged anywhere from that. I think 18 or 19 makes the most sense either way.



Just my 2¢

[astrallite]

"Men" in the nobility went to war as soon as they hit adolescence in Europe. Your father calls you "pup." I doubt you are older than 16.

If you were already an adult you wouldn't have been coddled so much in the HN Origin. Everybody treats you like a teenager.

Robb Stark was 15 when he went to war leading his armies in Song of Ice & Fire.

Actually, the child of Maric and Fiona was 5 years younger than Cailan - there was an error in a lot of the print copies.  This has been confirmed by the author.  Puts Alistair at just about the right age.  ;-)

[Tirigon]

Actually, I think younger than 18 to 20 beause people in medieval society were mature earlier than today and often got married with 16 or even 14 already.



My guess is:



Human and City elf male: 18

Human and city elf female 16 or 17



Dalish elves a little older, probably around 20



Dwarves: Somewhere betweeen 30 and 200^^

[FierachEredasSoulchiou]

Word of God says that Alistair is around 18-22, most likely 19.



About the Human Noble PC Male (although this argument can also apply to females). The PC's father calls him "pup", yet when he, and the older brother ride off to war, they leave the castle in his hands, instead of his wife's, or even the older brother's wife. Aside from the fact that women in Ferelden are considered equals, for the most part (and Eleanor Cousland is as formidable as they come), this indicates that the son is fully mature (or atleast the family thinks so), and is capable of handling the affairs of not only an entire castle, but the entire teyrn as well.



So he can't just be a kid, even if thats what his father affectionately refers to him as such (its likely just that anyway, affection).



I've also already pointed out that Fergus Cousland is the firstborn, meaning that there's no particular pressure on the secondborn to do anything when he/she's not likely going to inherit the Teyrn, and Fergus already has an heir himself of a good age.

Sten: late 30's
Zevren: late 20's
Oghren: mid 30's
Wynne: early 50's

[Lexaconn]

I'm surprised that you all want these people to be so very young... Even in medieval times, the experience and history these characters represent would take a few years. Just talk to them, and it's clear they are no longer in their early 20's. Would it perhaps disappoint you all greatly to discover you're not dealing with the young and attractive?



As for elves, during our visit with the Dalish elves, we are told that elves do still have a longer lifespan than humans.

It´s not that I would be disappointed if they were older - but they look rather young (except for Wynne of courseB)) and the in a country like Ferelden the average citizen is unlikely to be much older than 40.

[Talanthar]

Hmmmm ... i've always thought of the human noble as being quite young -- 18 ish --- maybe due to the medieval/fantasy setting ; in which a noble would have been married off at an early age regardless of their "ranking" i.e. first born child, second born cild etc. I think the Common Elf would be slightly older - 21 ish; the Dalish elf between 18-21; the dwarfs ... either noble or common i would suggest they are both quite older -- 21 at least; and the mage [elf or human] to be 25 at least due to their training...

that's just my opinion

[Yendi]

I assumed both human backgrounds to be pretty young, like 18-22 years old. In the noble origin everybody talks to them like an inexperienced child and for the mages since it seems unnecessary to wait too long with the harrowing and spend years of wasted resources on apprentices that might not survive it.

[J-Reyno]

Human noble is 21-24. Or should be, to make good sense. I pin my HNM Warden as 23-24ish. City elf seems to be 20-24,25. Dalish has the youngest outlook, between 18 and 22. Mage clocks in between 19-22 or 23 tops. Dwarf O's seem most flexible to me, since with commoner you could well be anywhere from 20-30 years old. (I could be wrong since I'm not sure if they say whether your sister is the elder or not) Not too sure about dwarf noble, but being the older sibling of Bhelen who damn well looks to be at least halfway through his twenties I'd pin it between 27-35.

As for companions, no way Alistair is any younger than 23. My guess is 24, and I put Morrigan at right around the same age. Leliana clocks at about 26 or 27 - quite enough time for her to get into the mess she's in, still look beautiful and kick ass. Zevran is probably around Leliana's age. Maybe a year or two older. I imagine him edging upon 30 within a year or two of Origins' time.

[Rogue Eagle]

player character = 21-23.

alistair = 22

morrigan = 24

leliana = 24-26

Zevran = 25

Sten = 42 - 52

Wynne = 55-60

Oghren = 38-42

[vometia]

Since everyone else is doing it...!  Assuming a human lifespan to be much as it is today, i.e. 70-80, rather than "grey-haired great-grandparent dead at 32" as was supposedly common in the middle ages (well, almost)...

PC, Alistair, Morrigan: mid 20s.  Morrigan's hardest to guess, though, and I think she may be the youngest in spite of her apparent wisdom.

Leliana, Zevran: thirtysomething, or elf equivalent in Zevran's case, with Leliana probably being at the "just turned 30" point and Zevran avoiding thinking about hitting 40.

Oghren, Sten: 40s.  No more specific than that.

Duncan: about 50.

Wynne: 60-70.  I think some dialogue put her in her 40s, if I remember correctly, which sounds like a bit of a slip-up.

YOU AGE-IST!@#!@# lol it sucks being 31 its the first year of my life where I am wanting to go back and stay at 25. I certainly won't age past 31 until I'm called on it anyway. lol.

[djfayt]

I think Vometia has it spot on. In the post right above my two. Leliana being around my age range makes me happy.

In response to all of the dark ages/middles ages references I want to make something clear: DA is in an alternate universe.  


Despite maybe the best writing in a video game EVER. That would trick you. But I'm not illuminated like David Gaider(he's a shill for the New World Order shhhh! Don't tell Alex Jones!!):alien:

Zevran is NEVER close to 40, unless he is a bit retarded.



According to his character I´d say 20 at most.

I find myself curious here: could you elaborate?

[Dlokir]

I'm surprised nobody quote that some dialogs in game gives to Wynne something like 45 years. Which seems rather wrong I agree.
