Add children to ESO?

Inversus

Skyrim had (unfortunately invincible) children, and it feels like something's missing in ESO
With the upcoming update (aka the justice system) I'd love to be able to include children NPCs in my rampages (the game's already rated mature, so this wouldn't be much of an issue) - perhaps they could even add extra bounty

Tabbycat

Yes, add them

Add children yes. Make them invincible.

ers101284b14_ESO

No, don't add them

Why the ***** **** **** ** ***** **** ** do you need children?

Inversus

Yes, add them

Yes, add them

Add children, make them killable.

I would even go so far as to suggest babies. That scream, and can be silenced.

Only if they do it right and add khajiit/argonian/elf children this time around.

Yes, add them

Don't even go there. It will never happen.

But yes, absolutely, I want children. I don't know why anyone would say no, it greatly improves immersion when we can see NPCs of all ages.

If they do add them. Dont make them be annoying little brats.

Only if I can kill them, this game is rated "M" after all I don;t want any non realistic crap NPCs in it once the justice system comes out, there was enough of that in Oblivion and Skyrim witht he Kitty crap.

Nothing ruins Immersion like a random pointless NPC that can't be killed.

Nothing improves immersion more then seeing a dead corpse of a child laying in the gutter. To send home what an adult game this is and how realistic it is.

Agree , the game should never add kids that you can actually hurt , but it should be fine as long as they are invincible.

It would be nice to have children of all races running around in cities/villages it simply improves the gaming experience and adds more immersion. Also few hours ago I saw a cradle and I wondered why would they add it if they wouldn't put babies there?
P.S. Oh yeah, and make them invincible ofc

This game is rated M not Teen. If you can't handle an adult game go play world of warcraft.

No, don't add them

Who plays an MMO with the specific intent of interacting with and/or murdering pixelated children?

I never said I had the intent to kill one or even interact with it, I just said that if it's in game you should be able to. Because the game is about lore and immersion, and also rated "M". Meaning it should have adult content of sorts and real choices that will effect how you personally feel about things.

Nothing ruins an immersion based game like an invincible annoying pointless NPC.

I suppose ZOS could corner the serial killer and [snip] gamer markets?

No, Eve already has the corner on psychopaths and serial killers, Tera has the corner on [snip].

You're right, this game is rated M. Mature people, at least mature -sane- people, dont think about murdering children.

Angsty depressed teens do.

Think about it this way, zos said we'd be able to hunt down those who have committed crimes - if you're against the killing of pixelated children you can exact justice

I handle it perfectly fine , but like an adult , first i dont want to hurt kids because that is sick , second i know this game even if rated M would never get away with it.

Guess you dont understand how the world works and how violent games dont get away with anything just because they have a M rating. Certain things will get a reaction , hurting kids in a game is one of them.

Add them. Make them kill-able for the justice system and adoptable when housing comes.

Yes, add them

Maybe we could combine the two
if someone in a rival guild adopts a child, you can have your guild raid their homes and... well, you get the idea

we could have virtual gangs

(bear in mind this is a joke and not a serious suggestion ^)

But pixilated images on a screen are not actually kids. Yes hurting kids is sick... But hurting pixilated images? Do Pixles have rights or thoughts or emotions? Does the NPC cry and miss it's husband when I kill an evil Cultest?

No.... They don;t because they are not real. So why would someone killing a pixilated child be any different? Then killing the husband of some pixilated woman because hes a worm cultist?

There is absolutely no moral or ethical ground to stand on here. It's not real therefore it doesn't matter if it's a kangaroo, a Cultist or a baby. It's all fantasy. You can have intent to kill a fantasy child/hippo/cultist/bandit/hooker all you want. and Then do it. You are not committing a crime because it's "NOT REAL", nd has 0 effect on anyone but your "In game character".

It's when you can not tell the difference and mix reality with fantasy that there is an issue. Like pretending a game shouldn't have killable children because in real life it's sick.

That, is psychotic, and Delusional. and anyone advocating in game children should be treated with the same moral and ethical respect as RL children have something seriously wrong with them. As in this case it would be obvious they are unable to separate "fantasy" from "reality".

In order for that to be even remotely valid you'd need to make it immoral to kill cultist, animals and everything else in the game, Else your a delusional hypocritical psychopath.

And if ZOS did that the game would be unplayable.

Yes, it's very immersion breaking to see entire cities and provinces without a single child.

Inversus

Yes, add them

In all seriousness I do think that it would be an interesting addition, however I'm not bothered whether they're invulnerable or not.
