Skyrim Does Dragon Born Age?

[pjedilord]

So i do play though for about 371 hours and Dragon Born npc look the same.
So why have they not age? does being Dragon Born prevent people aging or age slow?

So why do npc not age? so is this due to its only 15 days 11 hours why npc don't age?
for people that play Skyrim 9k hours did DB npc age? how much older was they?

Do people use age mods? So wanted npc to age? How old will DB npc be in ES 6?
Do npc age in game time or our time? how many days etc is 371 hours Skyrim time?

NPCs do not age, because they are not real people and Skyrim is a fantasy and role-playing game. However, you can choose to have an old character when you create a new player character at the start of the game.

Lorewise the Dragonborn is a mortal with the soul of a dragon, giving them both the power of a spirit and the free will of a mortal.


This means that yes, they age, grow old, and die, with thier soul returning to Akatosh (it's unknown what if anything happens to thier mortal half) ... of course the same life extending technics that all mortals have works on them as well.


Gameplay wise, nobody ages because Skyrim isn't a simulation and you have to separate the fact that lorewise the entire story takes place over course of a few months (a year at the most) and that people can (and do) play much much longer.

Still loving reading OP's threads and the posts, but OP is definitely lacking intelligence, whether bot or not!

In game time it would, compared to real time, be little over 309 days assuming timescale is set to 20. If NPCs would age in Skyrim it would certainly not show within ONE year!

This is the Elder Scrolls, not The Sims.

There is no aging in the game. This isn't a real-life simulator or anything to make it similar to actual life.

This is a video game. Of course they don't age. Check the expiration of your drugs as you fail at logic.

I'm more interested in what the bot did for 371 hours in the game?

How old is DB? Did npc age in ES games? Finish Skyrim.

No, no, and no. Now shut down, bot.

AI generated:

The age of the Dragonborn (DB) in “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” is not specified in the game and is left to the player’s imagination and role-playing choices. As for non-player characters (NPCs) aging in the Elder Scrolls games, the games do not feature a mechanic where NPCs age over time. NPCs remain the same age throughout the game.

To finish “Skyrim,” you would typically complete the main questline, which involves defeating Alduin and resolving the civil war in Skyrim. The main questline can be completed in about 34.5 hours, but exploring all content and side quests can take much longer. Remember, “Skyrim” is an open-world game with many side quests and activities, so “finishing” can mean different things to different players.

While it is perhaps a demonstrations of a lack of savvy about the distinctions between game genres which each come with their own degrees of simulation, this simple question could have been avoided had Bethesda Game Studio adopted either the approach that Obsidian did with their games and have a clear cut ending point which one can not play past or the tact taken by the Wizardry series where player characters die of old age and are replaced by their descendants after enough modules/pseudo-sequels that one plays through when using old save data.
The game's plot even lends itself to a middle of the road method as the three main plots (base game, Dawnguard and Dragonborn) are all time sensitive so the game could conclude after the time limit expires or once the epilogue is played (or when the main character finds a worthy battle to die in so they are sent to Sovngarde). There is no real game play benefit to 'Forever Games' as it is.

Bot thinks us fleshies age after 300 hours or two weeks, that's cute.

What happens if we set DB to be 70? becomes worst?
