Do You take Pride in your char's age?

I know some people are afriad of being an old fart, but I really could care less ow old he is. My Fighter ended the game at 63 even with the Temple of Avo reverse aging so I guess old age was inascapable . I thought it would be cool being old cause after the game you can be like those old grumpy teachers from the Kung-Fu movies.

Well not really. It's just a game. So long as it doesn't effect my ability, I don't care! Oh also I accept my ages...

While I find the aging aspect to be unnerving, as what Bloodthroe had mentioned, I agree that it doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't have any effect on his ability.

I was thinking more of ditching the aging aspect in Fable 2 since it doesn't really serve that much of a purpose at all, to be honest, other than for being purely cosmetic only. Furthermore, I find the aging aspect rather pointless as the game time or even the game world goes on a day-to-day basis rather than a year-by-year basis.

Seeing as the age as well as scaring etc have no effect in fable, I can't say that I do.
I do however find it fun to run around as a 70year old while everybody else haven't aged a day, and it supposedly is a couple of years time passing in the story-time (once you become a hero).......... I don't know what the developers where thinking actually when implementing age

Actually i do think if u do ditch the aging aspact is kind of a loss, Aging is actually quite nice..
It will give character to ur hero, I wont like my character to have legandary status and still B 18, But as i do agree they way they did in Fable TLC..
Aging 30 years overnight for using a lood of General experiance points is kinda sad.
But aging by time is more different, one game week will resolve 1 year older, With exseption of the Save scarlett robe quest Spoiler When u do get locked up u will actually advance one year in age and not stay the same age becouse u did not spend any EXP points on it.
