@mavsfan: You might have noticed a bug, though. Instead of the 'unknown body', was it 'a man in his twenties' before?

I tried speeding up the dynamic naming system, and I might have forgotten the bodies.

It's back to normal now. If you notice any other strange things related to dynamic names of characters, please send a PM to me immediately.

Well actually when you see the guy like on the actions bar, or the people's bar, or the activities bar, it should be a man in his thirties.

But maybe when you are looking at the character's clothing and description, it can fine tune it to a man in his late thirties (35-39) or a man in his early thirties (30-34), so I do concur to a degree.

When you take a far overlook - you prolly won't analyze the person's age as close as to maybe the decade of age, but when looking closely,that wud give away a smaller range.

:P

I think it would be nice to have late and early thirties, and other age groups of course.

About bodies, it would be nice to be able to predict the age in a similar way, and maybe be able to have a estimate of how long they've been there, and dynamically name, and put stuff into their inventories seeing as you can take them out. And many other stuff but I'll stop here as I'm risking going off topic.. :oops:

The age descriptions are alright as they are now, I don't care much about them. If there was a chance to select the age of the character when started, it would be good to see some N00b stamp on the character, so that people wouldn't take it too seriously. Now the "in his/her twenties" is sort of a newbie stamp.

If the person is in lat thirties to early fourties, call that person "a man/woman about forty years of age" Would that work?
