Didn't Philly put up a poll or ask this somewhere at one point last year? I don't know if it was here, or maybe Discord? That he would reveal the MC's face. I don't remember exactly where, but I do remember seeing it mentioned.

I wouldn't want that personally, but I'm not the one developing the game.
Never gonna happen.

well Katie and Victoria are quite shocking tbh. Vic looks much older imo,and Katie being only 24? that would mean she barely finished her degree,which is possible,but i got the feeling she's an established doctor who worked with the mc for some time before the start of the game.
That's what I thought too. 24 is typically straight out of Med School and she has her own practice which requires at least a year of postgraduate training to even be considered for a license from the board. She's either a medical genius who graduated ahead, they changed the laws in California, or Philly didn't think too much of it and decided "fuck it 24 sounds good"
I'm not surprised by Katie's age to be honest. I always figured she was mid 20s or so. Vic definitely looks older, to me, she looks older than Sonja.

Thought Gloria was 22 or so. Ellen looks younger, but she's Asian, and in certain scenes or with facial expressions she looks younger.

Doesn't matter really, just nice to know.
I'm actually a bit surprised by everyone with the exception of Ellen and maybe Gloria (as well as Chandra and Abby if we are to believe they're 18ish like Gloria). I was under the impression that we were dealing with a more mature cast here. Mid 30's for the likes of Katie, Victoria, Ellen and Sharon. 40-50 for MC, Sonja, and Henry. Gloria, Abby, and Chandra I could see as 18, but I expected early 20's.

Well, if this is a typical cyberpunk setting, then we should expect most people to be homeless, so she might just be squatting in an abandoned doctors office. Who knows, if she's even licensed at all with her whole backstory about either quitting or getting fired and helping out mercs on the down-low.

I mean, let's be honest here. The deciding factor was probably just that these are "appropriate" porn ages. In porn everyone is either 18 or a milf. The mature archetype starts at the mid-twenties.

That would be pretty interesting, but it seems a bit out of character for someone like Katie. I was under the impression that her practice was legit.

Looking it that way, it makes sense. It's not a deal breaker by any means, just a bit surprising. Wether they're younger or older the porn logic still applies. Don't see a lot of 30 year olds with bodies like Katie, Victoria or Ellen.

Katie info tab says she quickly got her MD. So yeah, she's kind of a genius

Abby's age is never stated, but Chandra does refer to Abby as "jailbait" which does imply she is 16 or 17, although the player is free to imagine her as 18-19.
"Jailbait" doesn't mean she's not legal. "Jailbait" means she looks younger than she is. I've known a lot of "jailbait" girls, especially during college parties where they dress up like they were mid-20s, looked around 16 and were actually 18. Plus, doesn't the game have the *legal* advised all characters are above 18 or some shit? Yeah, that alove makes it canon Abby is at least 18 yo. But you're free to imagine her as 16-17.

By the way, this update is sure taking a while to be tested... Getting a little impatient NGL.

I have to agree a little with the impatient part, although it's really just a building excitement, which is going to get worse as we get closer to the end, but whenever it does drop, it's going to feel like Christmas here. I've been putting off doing my only Katie run trying to wait until the update drops. I'm going to have to give in and just jump on it today I think. I need my Doc fix

There aren't underage characters in Philly's games....nor will there ever be.
