Summary:
I was messing around with starting builds in sandbox and something was just off, then I realized I was missing out on 1 attribute and 2 fp because the final choice is just gone. So you would need to choose age 30 afterwards to keep up (minus a few skill points) which 9 years is lot if you start as female char, you need your youth to make the next gen. It also means the apparent 'advantage' of starting older is even less. I don't know if this is a bug or a design choice, but if the latter I would ask it to be reconsidered: Why should the character be made weaker in sand box and only 1 year younger?
