My eldest son has seen me play the Baldur's Gate series since his birth. Until now, I've told him the games are too complex for children.

He was very determined to play an elven archer, so I helped him with that. Before leaving for a week at his mom's, he made it so far as to the Friendly Arm Inn. When he arrives home again tomorrow, this portrait awaits him:
