I would like to create an older female Qunari as well as an older male Human (Rogue). However I do not want their looks to contradict the game's story. I mean, if the plot implies that the Inquisitor is young, it would be weird for my inquisitors to be running around looking like they are in their  late 40s/early 50s. This is why I never created an older Commander Shepard in Mass Effect cause the game's story implies that they were in their late 20s/early 30s.

 

So yeah, any official word on how hold the Inquisitor is?

[Solas]

they said 20-40 afaik

The PC will be in an indefinite age between 20-40.

[Aurawolf]

At least 21, they can drink.

Well, in the middle ages even children would drink. Alcohol was slightly cleaner than water after all.

Does this mean I can't be a few years over 40?

 

Must I be under 40? Can't I be 41 or 42 or even 43?

[Mes]

Hmm I'd be interested to know the reasons for the "under 40" bit.

Because most people over would have families and stuff. Plus 40s is kinda old

[drake heath]

Not if you're a Circle mage.

 

I want to play a mage who's old, I don't like playing young magic users.

I think it's far more interesting to play an older, wiser character than a 20-40 year old.  Especially if he's supposed to lead an entire group of expert companions as well as the whole Inquisition. I think someone 45-60 would be cooler.  A Loghain aged character perhaps.

I feel 30 is a suitable age for our Inquisitor. Let's keep in mind that in those times, most people didn't live past 70+ years.

 

Just enough age to be seasoned, yet not too much to feel like a veteran.

I don't understand people thinking 40s is old...like, it's not, at all.

 

I'm only 21, but the older I get the more I realize just how incredibly young video game characters are. There are so few protagonists that are at an actually reasonable age for the things they're accomplishing, especially in Japanese games. I find it refreshing that the majority of companions in this game are out of their 20s, and I'm glad we can have our Inquisitor also be a little older. But it would be cool to go up to 60s.

Fixed for medieval accuracy.

Our western ideology and political correctness doesn't exist in Dragon Age.

We don't know the average life expectancy of any of the races do we? cause say its like mid 1700's kind of thing where most people are considered very lucky to make it to 70 if they don't access to expensive medicines and magic.

[Hizoku]

I'm gonna be a 20yr old Inquisitor...and romance Cassandra, I'm sure she won't feel self-conscious about dating someone half her age..oh what am I saying, women are never self conscious about their age, right? 

 

...right?!

This is a common misconception regarding the medieval ages. The average life expectancy was lower, not because most people died in their 40s, but because of high child/infant mortality rate. Being active (as opposed to sitting on couches all day) and not being so regularly in contact with carcinogens and greasy food, people in the medieval ages often lived past 70.

 

With humans (and possibly elves and dwarves), I'd imagine they kept age expectancy aligned with our medieval ages, just so that we don't have to really think about it, so we don't have do any mathematical conversions.

 

Does this mean I can't be a few years over 40?

I'm guessing that 40 is not a hard limit and that the actual dialogue/plot elements of your origin will be ambiguous enough regarding age to allow you to roleplay older.

Well if we are lucky we can make an Inquisitor that will look like an Old Man with the that wise feeling

I wasn't saying they died in their 40's I was trying to imply more of an early 60's kind of thing. I mean between poor hygiene among peasants and giant man-eating creatures roaming the wilderness I just imagine that a lot of people die in their 50's and 60's. I mean most of the old people we have seen have been nobles and mages. I imagine that both have access to better health care.

My RPG characters are always 37 unless a great pro model default like Sheperd looks younger.

I'm not sure I completely buy into certainty of the whole "this is like middle ages so life expectancy must be lower" deal. I see quite a few people mention this and I'm not sure it's entirely accurate (correct me if I'm wrong and a dev has stated something on this). Way I see it we don't know enough about the life expectancies in the DA universe to simply just use real life as an example. Is it probable that they mirror middle ages in that sense? Likely. But remember that this universe has magic which the real world does not have, so it's also likely people have longer lives. Unless there's confirmation one way or another, there's enough room for ambiguity here IMO.

Also, you can drink at 18 in England, so it's a non-issue anyway.

Anyway - between 20 and 40 is what has been said. About time we got a protagonist with a few years of experience under their belt. In my mind, there's absolutely no way the Inquisitor is anywhere under 30. The majority of our companions are older (and wiser) this time around, as well.
