depends on how the gate is coded. Is it just a method being called, and is that method public?
They'd have to take the birthdate from the database, convert it to something the age gate method reads, and then send it over.
So, as long as its not badly designed, probably easy. If it isn't designed for it though, probably not worth the hassle.

Here's my level 46 Lilith tree. It's really good, and it's worth going down the middle tree far enough to get the shock damage when phasewalking perk. It destroys shields. Also, you'll find gear that adds points to these skills, and they don't seem to let you go above level 5, so you can spread the points around.
The good news is respecing is cheap.

I haven't done extensive testing, so I could be wrong.
With Lilith if you specialize in SMGs (as seems to be intended), you fire so many bullets that a 10% chance to daze is really all you need to keep everything dazed all the time.
Dazed enemies move slower, shoot slower, and even their projectiles are slow. It's dead useful. -

The skilltrees are indeed quite lame compared to other RPGs like WoW or Diablo II, but the gameplay - the shooting - is fun and rewarding enough that you probably won't be bothered by that too much. Also, the guns are kinda like abilities by themselves because they're very different in the way you fight with them.

Still a week for me on PC. Gah.
This is the pistol build I'm going for because it seems like much fun: http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/mordecai/#11505500500000005505055 -
