In the future, this is better suited for #🌱beginner-questions, but i'll answer it here for now

In character customization, there are sliders for "maturity" and "wrinkles" and heavy beard options (to look more mature), but these are roughly it since there aren't any body sliders and these mostly just affect the face.

Worth mentioning the MC is supposed to be 16 anyway (and due to how chinese works, their youth will be addressed in almost every conversation), so it might be weird to have an ultra-mature looking guy anyway

Ew, if the character is 16, that's uh... That isn't going to hold up in the global audience.

#

In a lot of places here in the states. LOL.

#

Also, I hope that's not true, because I don't want to play as a child in a video game where I'm violently murdering people and building "relationships".

There's a bit early in the qinghe quest the main character tells a few of aunt han's patrons that they're 16, yes.

I don't know much about the five dynasties and ten kingdoms period during which WWM takes place during, but i do know that 16 was for sure an age you were considered an adult in the ming dynasty (~300 years after five dynasties and ten kingdoms) from my own knowledge. it was an age you could be in combat forces too, and it wasn't weird for you to be married by then (regional differences may vary but not much)-- i can assume this was cool during a time period where people didn't live for as long too

surprise surprise, the moment when americans realize there are people other than them in this world.

the moment when they realize legal age is a social construct.

the moment when they realize muricanistan is not the center of the universe.

each government has legal age slider in their UI.
in Japan 15 is considered adult. although they just raise it to 16 few years ago. pretty sure they will decrease it again because they are going extinct in free fall.

for you? there will come a day when your government approve the Bill of Babushka to move the legal age slider to 40 so the left over women can get married with 21 years old man CEO of multinational companies conglomerate.
and you will see men dating women less than 40 years old as pedos.

This game is based on Wuxia genre where marriage is legal regardless the age and fornication is illegal regardless the age.

if you are surprised to see 16 years old marrying 16 years old, im surprise to see 13 years old having casual sex with other 13 years old and no one bats an eye in your country.

in our perspective, your country is the one which backward.

So in short, no. No manly men

well no it's not that kinda genre

#

i mean you can make a bearded masculine looking guy but his body won't match lol

#

this isn't like western rpgs with more realistic masculine dudes. it's a martial arts fantasy where everyone is a badass in their teens or elderly years

#

they're kinda like super youthful superheroes

No preaching was happening, just someone getting butthurt and taking a massive leap in logic. Playing a character who is sixteen years old and is asked to pursue multiple relationships in-game depending on the sect you choose, it's just strange to me, and I'm sure a lot of other people would feel the same way. Given the audience this game is geared towards, I agree. It will do fine. I rarely expect much from the general population present on the internet.

In the story, yes. I'm going to totally ignore that part though and make my character look as old as possible.

Some of ya'll are super hard pressed to defend the age thing, it's a little weird. I get it though, you're ready to wrap up your identity in the game and defend it until the very end. Again though, I wasn't preaching about anything. What I said is correct. You're getting real defensive about it, as was the last guy. It's okay though man. If you want to embrace it, that's on you. I'd simply prefer to play as an actual adult. Not a child.

Are we seriously caring about the age thing? I'm going to ask a genuine question, when in the hell did any of you consider the actual age of a main character that you can make however you want? Did any of you consider it in rise of the ronin? No. Did you guys consider it another game? Hell no, we made their ages and Backstories up. Why is this even an argument?

And for the love of christ if the main character you are playing as is 16.... then every other players character is bloody 16, how is this even an argument?

#

Like I'm looking at every bit of information I'm being told here, and it looks bloody ridiculous, I'm genuinely going to be honest. Maybe I think differently or something but I always assumed the character was this age, etc, but did that stop from someone making an old character? No. So why are we even arguing about this? I'm am genuinely confused here

I consider the age of my character when it's brought up that they aren't an adult in the story, it's one thing if it says they're 16 once and I can never acknowledge that again because I've made an old man. I'll just ignore it because at that point their age doesn't play in the story. It would become an issue if they talk about my characters age consistently through the story, not just the weirdness factor of it, but because it'd be jarring and kind of crap to see that the entire time. So this isn't an argument. I said it was weird that we were 16, and I was anecdotal about most people I know would probably think it's weird too.

Then one guy screeches about American privilege or something and how our women will end up with foreign CEOs. I don't know, it was incoherent rambling as far as I'm concerned.

The other guy think it's a gotcha moment because the age of consent is all over the place in the US, I live in a state where the age of consent is 16, and I still find it weird. That was my point. I don't really care about societal norms of other cultures, and I wasn't speaking to that. I just think it's weird from my perspective.

#

As I said, embrace it if you want. I'm going to choose to ignore my character's age, but that's only going to last on up til, or if they start telling my dude he's 16 on a semi-consistent basis.

I'm just confused how this whole thing turned from "how to make my character look more masculine" to "legal arguments and 16, 13 this and that." That's really all I'm confused about.

What I'm also confused about is where people got this information that the character was 16 and all that. Maybe I'm missing something, as we never got that information about the protagonist we play, like literally we don't. Unless there is chinese wiki that shows this, I have no clue where this information was taken from.

#

Because I only just realised that there was no bloody information on the main protagonist

#

Except backstory and all that

You'd have to ask the guy who said our character was 16 in the story, I'd assume based on information found within game. I haven't stated we're 16, I put questioningly the first time, Ew we're 16? Or something like that. As for this being a legal argument, we're not really having a legal argument. A few folks just decided to turn it into something else because I assume they're interested in digging on the US for some reason. So you can only really meet that with facteious commentary, and that's what they're going to get from me.

I think they're just super jealous of our President and our GPUs. 🤡

#

Where it concerns making manly men, I'd guess that if our character IS 16, most people assume you probably can't make a grizzled old looking warrior. Although I've seen a few beard options and as the same guy who said we were 16, he did mention we can have wrinkles, etc. So it should be fine. I'm sure we can all be grizzled sword masters if we want to.

Well I won't go into the president and gpus argument. But if the character is supposed to be 16... all ill say is it doesn't seem quite right (sarcasm found... I'm an idiot, i completely passed by the clown emoji)

When I looked at the character he/she felt more like a young gentleman or young lady. A young looking adult basically. As I am in that category.

Because I'm a young adult and you could basically compare me to those creations. Which means you could use a word in chinese that is associated with "youth" which could mean any age at that point. Like hell I may be an adult but I'm still called a young lad or whatever people call me.

It's all good, I'm not a USA flag cape wearing sort of American, but I am one that will bait and be argumentative when people say stupid things. Also, yes. That was basically my entire point Misha. If it's up to me, I'd rather play as an adult character. It's jarring if I'm not, and if I show up looking like Deckard Cain from diablo and someone in the story is like "Oooh, hey! It's my young nephew!" That's going to suck.

Regardless I'm ending this conversation as i realised how much of a waste of time this is. I feel my brain melting away. I should have not even bothered on this XD

I'm not on discord very often these days because life got busy, but whenever i saw a notif from this, i'd always hear kill bill sirens in my head 🤣

Anyway, glad for you and your mature-looking MC, OP

it'd be nice if there were at least a couple voice patterns that you could maybe pitch up or down, similar to how Dragon's Dogma handles it for example

Well my character is 18 to 20, and even though protagonist was supposed to be 16... I honestly just didn't care, it just kinda felt more like information about the actual protagonist. Like if we really wanted, we would play as the actual protagonist how he or she was supposed to look, the preset. But we honestly didn't care. I mean we all saw the protagonist was supposed to look so... I'm more on the middle ground here

you can ignore the voice, but it's more difficult to ignore than let's say a character age that might be mentioned like once
