WTF?! Isn't that a little gross considering she is a romance option?
They should've made her 33 at the very oldest. Does Obsidian think we all have granny fetishes or something?

Thorton is in his mid 20s....so technically, she's old enough to be his mother.

Old reliable indeed

Is Michael Thorton's age confirmed anywhere? I always just assumed late twenties. It's strange that he goes after old bags like SIE but doesn't even try to scrog that hot teen Sis.

Speaking of SIE, I've yet to even encounter her after 1 and a half play thrus.

Without going into great detail, when/how does she appear?

[GreasyDogMeat]

Uh... if all grannies looked like Sie... then yes I'd have granny fetish. No one is forcing you to try and bed her either... unless you want that certain achievement.

For general location

Moscow

the mission in the trainyard. I did the missions in this order: Rome, Moscow, Teipei. Her appearance may or may not have to do with what order you tackle the missions.

Hehehe. Wasn't there a comment from Mike saying that he was going "cougar hunting"?
Not gross, IMHO.
SIE is actually my favourite among the available romance options (followed by Mina, I guess, who doesn't look so young either).

That and 40+ isn't so old (tho' that's really up to personal taste, I guess...I know my fair share of people who
seem to think that girls above their teens are 'old' ).

[Hassat Hunter]

Remember the mail to Mina, that Mike's pass is M1LFLVR?

OT: Let's remain this side of the not spilling sand from the box, please ... this is a forum that caters to ALL ages after all ...

SIE seems to be a bit more realistic about the hook up than Madison, and Scarlett feels like she's just there to fill the "Bond girl" role. After all Madison was "oh hay, I helped you out and you helped me out, and i was tender for a half second... wanna make a baby?".

As to her being older and playing "Hide the pickle"? That's not exactly unsual, and it'd fit her personality to a T. I mean hell, Catherine the Great had partners until she died CONSTANTLY. And both women assume roles generally associated with men so *shrugs*.

And honestly, she looks more early thirties than forties to me.

Considering many people are happy to lust after Hollywood stars in their 40's and 50's and have paparazzi's grab their sunbathing pictures, I don't see a problem. People just want all women to look pretty and young so they can imagine they're 16/18. That's a lot more disgusting than two adults having a romance, it's not like SIE's a grandma in a rest home.

[Hell Kitty]

You must be very young if this troubles you so much.

She doesn't strike me as the type to be a granny in a rest home... she'd probably be more like the old battle axe who scares people into not going to the DMV. Or if she did have kids, there'd be a TON of them and they'd all be very very scared of her.

Also, if you're young, go for an older sugar momma

They should've made her 33 at the very oldest. Does Obsidian think we all have granny fetishes or something?

Considering a lot of people have a wish for pedophilia, why not?
At least SIE is legal, and not a 16 years old girl.

Don't get me wrong, Sis is a charming girl (especially when she passes the age limit), but if SIE is considered as granny fetish, then you're a pedophile.
I have nothing against Sis, but I hope the example made my point clear.

I don't think she should be a teenager obviously but I do think portraying a woman in her 40s as a sex symbol is pushing it.

[thufirhawat333]

Ah, I see then, it's another story.
Well, it may be a bit old-school in this way. But look at the movie titled Les femmes de l'ombre (or not, as the movies isn't bad, but it's not that good), could you say that she's like a granny?
Oh noes, she's still hot.
For some people, aging isn't that sightly as for others. And in SIE's case, the age helps building up the background. As an addition, you can totally ignore her, the relationship is not forced on you (I used to do it too on some characters).
The ex-stasi mercenary completely fits the James Bond-ish flavor of the game, so I perceive it as a good move.

You're absolutely crazy, sorry.

While originally Sis was supposed to be 16, her in-game age is around 20. Regardless, 16 is legal here. Aaaand not every gamer is 32. Some younger players would prefer to romance that cute girl who happens to be around (or the closest to) their age, and don't give a damn that their proxy (Mike) is 5/10 years older than her.

I never thought about it, but that last bit about the player being around the same age as her makes sense. (Although that player might not should have AP.) Personally, I don't want to romance her. I like the role she plays as is. She needs more time in the game.
