I'd rather have no kids than immortal snitches. Almost as bad as the chicken that told the guards I was stealing.

Hahaha! Remind's me of my plan for my house on one part. A conga line of dancing chickens! LOL, it will be legendary!

You should be able to have children with your Pledge of mara partner

But most players marry each other for the XP boost even if one is a Male Breton and the other is a Male Argonian

You must not know much about Argonians if you don't think they could totally make that happen.

Make them client side only and a graphic setting which you can opt out. Like grass. This way you don't have to see them if you don't want, and no increased net traffic as nothing extra is being transferred.

Or not. Seems to me coders could do something more productive, like squash bugs, hm?

I've said it before, and I will say it again...I'm dead-set against children in this game because of what all the pedo's/sicko's will try to do to them. Thanks to ZOS's many creative emotes I constantly see people performing simulated sex with other players and even their pets. I don't want to see it happening to children as well.

We have:
Npcs sleeping in the streets
Dogs chasing cats
Animated noses on Rats!

Unnecessary lag discussion ended.

We have:
Cribs in homes
A child voice actor in Grahtwood
Children in quests replaced by adult models

No development from Zos discussion ended.

We have:
Unkillable, un-pickpocket-able adult npc all over the place, either because they give a quest or are a vendor.

Unkillable discussion ended.


The only discussion that i will validate is "I don't want child npcs because I have a personal preference against them"

I have a personal preference against Argonians but they still pop up with their monotone voices and creepily erect spines.

Add kid npcs for variety otherwise I'm going to imagine the reason why all the adult npcs are constantly drunk is because the government took their babies.

@max_only

First, your claim that the lag discussion has ended by your comments is rather mute. Anything added would increase server load and lag.

The real reason why Zos isn't going to add children is no one has provided solid justification for spending the time and money to create, voice and place children.

They don't have to add kids, they can replace extraneous adult npcs with kid models.

There is no solid justification for a breathing cycle in rats (I love rats don't get me wrong) but they still have it.

There are a lot of things in the game that serve no Practical Function but they were added as atmosphere.

They have a voice actor already. They have the money for world wide trips and super bowl ads. They can afford it.

Placing them in the world is only a problem because they have a tendencies to place adult npcs halfway through the ground as it is. Poor kids would
Be buried up to their necks

I expect if they do it, the kid model is pretty much going to be the smallest bosmer model already in the game c'mon they recycle assets all the time, no need to expect more time from them.

I don't have a justification for it and you don't have a justification against. It's just a suggestion, we can all stand to be a bit supportive of new ideas instead of shooting down things "just because".

Small children are horrible in games and real life...their job is to punish adults for what they did as kids.

So are you saying that people who do sick stuff for adults are not as bad as those pedos?

There are allready all kind of perverts in this game and adding children wouldnt change situation to better or worse, cause doing sexual acts with adultcharacters isn't any more acceptable than doing them with kidcharacters.

What not? We already have immortal guards, lol.

But who actually likes having children around..?

I like my kids.....all the other ones not so much, but that's mostly has to do with the world being populated by mostly terrible people, raising more terrible people.

Not a universal truth, but a for the most part truth.

Nu-uh, snitches get stitches.

I would much rather than fix existing problems/issue than worry about adding in something new like children NPCs.

Lag/performance took a rather big hit a long time ago with the addition of anti-bot measures.

This video does a rather nice job of explaining this major issue that affects the entire game as a whole and not just Cyrodil/PVP, important bit starts around 12 minutes.

Need to keep spreading the word and keep shining a light on issues like these so that they get fixed/addressed.

Idly; broken parts of the game should be fixed before new things are added or even considered.
