Oh yeah. You can play as long as you want, but after you finish the main quest, no more quests will be given out at the guild, you'll have to find them on paths and in towns. You can still get married, buy houses, all that good stuff too. This game is all about the gameplay and not that much on story, so you'll play it as long as you like because you can find things to do on your own. Hell, walk around a listen to the different reactions you get from people after farting on them. Get people drunk, get yourself drunk, kick chickens, become champions in the bar games.

You age in three ways. 1. When you level up your skills you age about .7 years I believe. 2. When you finish a major point in the story, you'll go onto the next chapter and age a couple years. 3. When you use the will(magic), you'll gradually age everytime you use it, in real time, but it's so small you wont notice it that much till you look at your character after a while.
