Seriously wish I did not just google image that. 

Tera is just so wrong I brought it and played for an hour before backing out for good.

Well, I haven't played with a Dalish female as the Inquisitor, so can't answer the OP's specific question, but one of the most memorable chars I've played was a female teen using Emma's Children of Morrowind mod for the same game. And, yes, I'm a much older dude. I sort of pictured her as an orphan trying to survive in a harsh world, so I liked the RPG element of it, plus it was just something cool with this petite thing wielding a Daedric Dai-Katana, taking down huge Orcs in heavy armor. Might actually roll a Dalish female for my next play through when I think about it.

I don't think that anyone would want his or her character to look like an old hag...

[Blade_RJ]

Not me, as you can see i tried to recreate my Dalish warden from Origins becouse i wanted to headcannon to be her, but she looked to young and since 10 years are passed, i remade her to look older, and more livid.

I will agree that the average age is probably going up though, largely thanks to the generation that grew up gaming is now a fair bit older.

Yes, there was generation of 10-15 year olds playing computer games 30 years ago. The kids that play games today aren't even children but grand children of these people. And some still think the age of average gamer being higher than 20 is something odd and must include facebook crowd.

[AWTEW]

I do not know the age of most of you guys so if you are 11-16 then perhaps you may find that stuff attractive, but by looking at threads and people posting their female elfs, the vast majority of them look....adolescent. Again, if that is your thing that that is your own business. However, it just seems like people always go with the furthest left option under the complexion tab in CC which normally results in the most "youthful" looks. I like to dab further into the complexion options to create more "mature" looking women that are in their mid-30s at minimal. Hell, for my next character a female mage elf, I will give her a bit of an aging appearance to make her look like she is at least in her 40s.
 
So yeah, is western society that anti-aging/anti-older women that people are willing for their female characters to appear like they are in the 7th grade?
 

Short awnser, its a wider problem with western society, that, as a whole has become so desensitised by constant marketing to impossible standards that it has be ome 'the norm'.

I would dare say the majority of gamers are in their mid 20's and older especially console/pc gamers. the current 15yo teen demographic largely prefer there smartphones and tablets.

I expect the console/pc gamer demographic will swing to the point where non-tablet smartphones games will mostly geared towards adults, and hopefully more adult content..and less ma15 + watered down mass-market content.

OP I can't tell if you are trolling or serious. Why does it bother you so much on how other players create their pcs to look? If a person wants to create their characters to look a certain way that is their right to do so. Hell I don't care if their character is neon purple with pink polka dots it is their right to create their pc to look the way they want it to.

[Suledin]

So what? That's their own characters. ****** off dude. I wonder if you have issues with your own face.

[Elfyoth]

Bad skin doesn't necessarily make you look older and good skin doesn't necessarily make you look younger. There are facial proportions people associate with children but many adults retain them as well. (It's common for Asian people for example to retain rounder facial features, smaller nose and bone structure, shorter/wider face, etc...)

 

Bad skin, age 30:

Good skin, age 17:

This are two diffrent womans, and the 17 one dosent have a skin at all imo, I would call her a beauty queen, why? Cuz she hae more make up than skin, and that 30 year old one, can have her skin look the same, if she jumps to a pool, filled with no water, but makup. 

[Elfyoth]

Seriously wish I did not just google image that. 

and belive me, in Tera Eroupe, most of the players played Elins somthing like 80%... I played Elf but then Human. Elves looked to female like in there.

That's why I'm saying it's the facial proportions and sharpness or softness of features that make a person look mature or child-like rather than the skin smoothness (unless we're talking deep wrinkles vs completely smooth face which happens at middle age or older) as well as some other things like clothes, hair, overplucking of eyebrows, etc...

[TK514]

adolescent is the only thing that fits the DA:I elf body structure.  If they looked like adults, you'd want to check them into a clinic for an eating disorder, or maybe ask who had been starving them.

[maxulic]

 

I swear she said she was 18!

[Han Shot First]

I'm not sure what the fixation on characters that look like they are 14 years old is either. Some people were also doing that with DA:O. I think their characters look ridiculous.

 

Having said that...it's not my character. It's a single-player game, and people are free to make their protagonist look as much like a goofy-looking pixie as they want. I'll be over here making my characters look like the adults they are.

[Wargaron]

This is a very strange thread full of very strange comments. I m a university student at the moment so the majority of people i know are 20-24 years old and many of them look like the pictures you posted, just beacuse you think someone looks 13 it doesn t mean they are. I also seen people commenting on how childish is the body a  the female elf, well guess what there many skinny women who has similar bodies to them and there is nothing wrong with that. Also it s there s nothing wrong with being attracted to 20-24 years old women, just beacuse the op prefers 30-35 years old women doesn t mean everybody else has to.

[Han Shot First]

No version of the Inquisitor actually is a teenager. Canonically the Inquisitor is something like between 20 and 40. There was a dev who made a statement about the Inquisitor's age prior to release, and while might not have the range exactly correct, that's at least ballpark. So yes, player characters that look 15 are just adults with an extremely youthful appearance.

 

Doesn't change that their characters look awful though. Characters that look like adults > Goofy looking chibi-like characters

[Qun00]

Implying there's a way to prevent female elves from looking like 13 y/o girls.

There is actually..at least in the face.

[PearsAndCherries]

I have young looking elf ladies inquisitors, if you think that has anything to do with sexual harrasment that's on you(r twisted mind) not me/mine.

[Bocochoco]

First off OP, this game was released all over and the average age of consent world wide is exactly 13 so just because someone has a different set of mores based on cultural upbringing does not make you right when it comes to other peoples preferences.
Also youth is eternally worshipped worldwide and this will never change no matter how hard the fat ugly SJW's attempt to change it. This is inherent in human nature.
I must ask, was Mary not 14yo when she have birth to our Lord?
Me personally? As a 32yo male I sometimes wish I were a 13yo girl just starting to blossom and come to terms with my own sexuality. Probably the reason why Anime is so popular for other males my age.

This video pretty much sums up this thread

This thread is going places.

[Lukas Trevelyan]

This is a very very strange thread. 

Just to add some perspective, just because they 'look' 13, doesn't mean they are.

Personally I have a baby-face, I seriously look like I'm 14 when in fact I'm going to be 20 this year <.< My body shape isn't helping either.

[Bocochoco]

So does my wife who's also 32
At the children's hospital with my son the nurse turned the TV off on her late at night and said it's "night night time"

You have a point there and one that I brought up in a previous post in this thread. For some reason, men and women are comfortable creating and even playing with male characters that are "older". Men and women are comfortable creating and playing as male characters that aren't "model looking" but sometimes rather scruffy, aged, and some imperfections. However you normally NEVER really see that with female characters. You rarely ever see a male or female purposely try to add age to the female character. When I mean age, I don't mean 30 years old v. 22 years old. I mean 40+ years old as opposed to being some 20 something. Why is this? Well, like you said, it has a lot to do with society and how our minds have been wired because of this. We [society] place a lot of emphasis on superficiality and that is extremely common with women and how society views women, and even how women view themselves.

 

And attractive female who is highly intelligent speaks in front of 100 people about the concepts of applied physics and when that female is done with her presentation, she is walking through the hallways when she runs into a peer who's first compliment is, "Nice shoes" or "I just want to say how wonderful your hair looks" or something similar to that nature, totally ignorant of the fact of her intelligence, but because she is a female, that notion is suppressed and thus the only "important" quality is her looks. I guess it is some longstanding opinion that men's productivity/value increases with age while women's decreases. I disagree with this notion, but this is a long thought understanding that has held value for a very long time.

 

I know that I am getting a bit off topic, but it was important to note that because I noticed that there was a lady here who is 42 years old who claimed that she would NEVER create a female character that is 40+ and I thought to myself "What is wrong with a female hero who is 40+? How in the world is that a negative thing? We need more 40+ women heros in movies and games!"

 

So perhaps in people's endeavors to make youth the number one aspect of their female characters whether it be elves, humans, Commander Shepard, or Hawke, people tend to goto the extreme and make them look as young as possible which sometimes could make their character look REALLY young, like under 16 years old young.
