Children & Player Housing

Browiseth

The popularity of the kill children mod in Skyrim is exactly why no one wants them in any video game. They're annoying, plus it just opens a whole new can of worms, ripe for controversy and complaints

Kids as npcs only..

And people would do horrible things to em. I mean i know i would spend at least 15 minutes swinging my sword at their heads (i never got over how annoying they were in skyrim)

There's limits to how much you can do to them when they are invulnerable.. And I can hardly see what harm it would do if you wasted your life and money swinging an imaginary sword at kids' heads in a video game

Example, it was.

Um ok! Vomit emote on em! T bag, their heads at crotch level yes? People are inventive (but these things ZOS couldn't allow for rating and popularity reasons)

If people can get all sour puss over someone using a vomit emote on a kid made of data bits, maybe they should lock themselves up in their basement.. The world is a cruel place indeed, if that's all it takes for you

Not me personally...

But Haven't you seen America today? Saying im a male can be found offensive sexist etc...

Yeah, they gotta deal with such bs

As long as nothing actually happens to the child npc, ZOS won't have any trouble.

GW2 has kids, and it's all good over there (regarding this, at least).

Interesting statement to make, especially in a thread voting for kids

I prefer no kids allowed because they will follow you around like your pets, and you don't want them in dungeons scarred for life.

They should not be following you.. Kids are not pets/familiars

I wouldn't mind having children here... Perhaps with a little Beurre Blanc butter sauce.

Directed to this thread from elsewhere. Seems to be a better place to discuss it.

I actually have a problem witb ZOS selling us children. Given the rabid attention they give the crown store, this would not end well. Children in gamble bags. Special children available limited time only. Different races and colors coming in and out of the store. It would just seem wrong. It would end up being not like Adoption. More like a puppy mill.

ZOS should givenus only free base game kids, which means no kids.

So now you are resorting to bringing up 3 week old threads to soapbox your opinion about the crown boxes? Can't you keep it on the 105 page thread and not bring it into EVERY conversation? We get it - you are against the crown boxes.

Oh Piddle. I mentioned the gamble boxes as one rather small part of a bigger issue. What I am against is ZOS selling children in the Crown Store, by any means.

This thread is only three weeks old, still a fresh thread. If ZOS wants to close it, fine. It is the better of the two threads.

Talk about bizarre

It is not that bizarre, but if your point is that ZOS would not take the time to do this, I think you are correct. About the only way Children will appear in the game is by Crown Store or DLC. Crown Store is a level of creepy to me.

I would like to see children in the game, all across Tamriel, exactly as you have stated. It would be a huge undertaking, which is why I don't expect to ever see them. It is a thing that should have been in the game at launch.

Ugh no thanks, i dont want unkilleble children that report my crimes in this game, the first mod i downloaded for skyrim was killable children because their crime reporting was annoying and seeing them battle a dragon without dying was just silly

The game already have plenty of unkillable npcs. Merchant and quest givers can't even be attacked.

What's the difference if some of them are kids, other than making the world more immersive and making sense of some quests that have adults who are referred to as children?

Ive avoided real children for good reason... Plz no digital disgusting creatures

you are spot on and they should most definitely have them. I had those 2 kids I adopted in skyrim and I used to love bringing them gifts. would be sweet if they could gather stuff for you also depending on what class they were. and having an NPC wife that would have a store like skyrim would be awesome too. I should definitely be able to marry an NPC like skyrim

Yeah this is what I mean. Giving ESO more of a TES feel. Also, kids are all over the cities in Age Of Conan, one of the most "mature" MMOs out there and... nothing bad happens with them. They are unkillable and only in the city hubs where it makes sense. So all these cries of, "But perverts!" are a bit of needless hysteria.

But that's not what is being suggested. They'd be part of housing and would not leave your house. Or follow you around. Hopefully. LOL

And requiring you to have a certain type of house or/and certain furniture before being able to having kids, like children's beds and such, is a way for ZOS to monetize them.

No children. If you're reading this and you have a toddler, you'll understand. I like not having a mini-me going mommymommymommymommy for a couple hours in the evening after our toddler's bedtime. Besides, for immersion, a certain type of person would start asking for kids in Cyrodiil or claim it's too weird they can't die. It's a can of worms that adds nothing to gameplay.

Who says that it's only a tiny fraction who wants kids.? Remember that the forum itself only represents a very small portion of the players, and even here the wish for kids is not really tiny.. So yes we would love for them to dedicate time and resources to put this into the game.. I would also happily donate extra if they had it as a kickstarter.. To a lot of us, the lack of children is really weird and disturbing

This is interesting. The kids can be free, but Crowns can be spent to buy furniture, clothing (aside from default... no naked kids), etc. I have no problem with outfitting kids using the Crown Store. I just have a problem with SELLING kids in the Crown Store.

Khajiit has a 'pet' lion cub. She refers to it as the nephew of this one.

Thus if little khajiit can be sold as pets then why not the little humans and the little elves?

Then they could be adopted as you wish or trained to perform basic household tasks such as hiding things and breaking things and being sick on things.

My Breton rides a Senche, which is like a Khajiit, as far as my Breton is concerned. My Argonian would like to use a Dunmer as a horse. That would be fitting. I can certainly see the idea of an Altmer mount, too. That would be popular in the 4th Era. However, having little pet versions of them following behind? That would definitely creep out my Breton. Not sure about the Argonian.

The option to adopt children would arguably lead in some cases to disturbing player behaviour. Enough reason for me to just not go there.

Imagine if some picked a pale skinned, long black haired character look, renamed their in game house Neverland and invited the child NPCs there

Daemons_Bane

Children should not be adoptable, to avoid people creating situations that's not okay, just to *** other people off.. Introduce them as npcs in cities, villages and hamlets and keep it at that
