There are so many games to teens

You must be one of them scientists who lumps all under 25 into the children age group to pad your statistics.

This day and age yes, most 22 year olds are still kids

Does to me lol.

How old are you?

I actually don't mind Ryder age to be honest. How is it a issues?

I actually didn't like the idea of Ryder being so young either because I thought it was constraining and meant playing as somebody experienced who has actually seen some things and thus has some authority to speak was off the table.

However, they did such a good job of selling the fact that Ryder was young and inexperienced and not an inexplicable wise badass at age 22 that I ended up liking it very much.

My issue was always that making a Shepard like character be age 22 would not make any sense, but they made a character that makes perfect sense for a 22 year old: dorky, inexperienced, and earnest. 

I doubt it. No one complained about Shepard age by the end of ME3 that I ever talked you. I think they picked a younger character because it fits the story they wanted to tell about an inexperienced explorer. If he was in his late 20s/early 30s like Shepard he would have likely had some kind of experience under their belt and that would have hurt the story. 

I'm a little tired of the kid that becomes an adult and saves the world myself. Those that have been around for a little while longer often aren't the target audience it seems. It goes hand in hand with immature writing I suppose...

22 is barely a kid... *rolls eyes*

How old was Shepard at the beginning of ME1?

My memory doesn't go back that far, due to how old I am

Shepard's birthday was April 11, 2154. 27 as of ME1

The Ryder twins were born in 2163, making them 22 (not accounting for time in stasis) in MEA
