NPCs refering to our character's age

[Lukha]

Well, to be fair, adventuring really isn't an elderly person's passtime, for the most part. It's very taxing and dangerous. There's even a couple of NPCs (An elderly Elezen and a Doman man) in the Rising Stones who discuss it. They do what they can, but that's unfortunately not a great deal at their age, what with their backs aching and joints getting stiff on damp nights (Which is when the best hunting is!).

And then you have our dear Scions, who are actually on the older side and concealing it with high-grade Sharlyan cosmetics XD. One of these days I'd like to catch Thancred complaining about his back and hastily trying to cover it up when he realizes you were listening.

Wouldn't you have to be 70-100+ to be considered elderly, though? 40-50 is more along the lines of midlife, or 'Veteran Adventurer.'

Isildaure would disagree about adventuring being only a young man's game.

While not directly related to character age, I have had issues with the dialogue when playing a Hellsguard and the NPC uses your first or last name only. For instance, I had one for a short time named Silent Shield and in most conversations he was simply referred to as Silent. For the Hellsguard in particular this is bothersome because he's taken the whole name to identify himself as an individual, yet everyone still treats his name as though it's a given name plus a surname. It's a small, perhaps insignificant to some, portion of immersion that just obliterates the idea of playing such a character for me.
