    I'm 33. First started gaming on the NES and remember when PC games came on 5.25'' floppy discs. Playing the new God of War right now. Things have come a long way.

    Very similar to me. I'm 34, the NES was my first console too. My first gaming experience though was sitting on my father's lap with 5 or so, while he played "The Secret of Monkey Island". Good memories. He's 63 now and still a gamer, too, so I'm not really that surprised that the older folks are still at it. I don't think I'll ever stop gaming either. I just didn't really expect this age range on ESO, I guess, because the things I read in zone chat (or often here in the forum, too) kind of led me to believe otherwise. ;)

    Heh. I enjoyed that game. I played it on a friend's console - my only experience with consoles ever. He's my daughter's age, at the time they were early 20s, but he just loved consoles far more than PCs like he was using at work (they're in their early 50s now). My daughter didn't play computer games until she was nearly 40, but now, she and her husband and girls all play a variety of MMOs and single player games. Including Skyrim.... we ALL love Skyrim!

    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    Yeah, I enjoyed it, too - especially when I was old enough to actually play it myself. I still quote some of the Sword Master's insults when I have the opportunity. And Skyrim really is a modern classic, pretty much everyone loves it. My Dad played it, my little brother played it, my husband - who is, of course, a gamer as well - played it, and even my Mom tried it for a bit, even though the only gaming she's ever done before was King's Quest, years ago, with my Dad. I'll probably even make my son try it, when he's old enough. He's 3 now, so that'll be a little while, but we'll see :)

    Thing is.... as an older gamer, I should WANT to introduce my family/progeny to fun. Serious. Games ARE fun (well.... unless someone's just got weird issues). I want everyone I know to understand that the reason I play games like this one - is because I have fun.

    If it's not FUN.... WHY is anyone doing it?

    Unsure ... if I'm 70, do I pick 60-70 or 70-80?
    Age doesn't matter... I have met 12 year olds that are more mature than so called adults in online games.

    As a 70-year-old who mostly PvPs, some days age does matter. :D Slower reflexes are a real thing. On the other hand, if I kill you, you've been killed by an aging woman.

    I dont understand why is the 10-20 pol when it should had been 18-20 the starting one...people keep to forget this is an M rated game aka mature...yet we get people complaining here about underaged children that play it and why is not more friendly towards them? bad luck...send them to WoW...in Nirn he need more gore and brutality and more !@#$ to live up to the Rating of the game(Rip skyrim executions and dismemberments)
