    Seriously, there is no children in tamriel.
    Why they did this nobody knows.
    Unless somebody knows and theyre not telling.

    Maybe players complained about them in Skyrim so it was decided to just keep them out of the game entirely. Just a guess.

    That seems likely. I absolutely adore children and have a good many of my own, but I wanted to dropkick the mouthy little brats in Skyrim all the way to Oblivion (not the ones I adopted though, they were super sweet). Real talk: if we had those kinds of kids in ESO, I would steer clear of whatever part of the game they populated, just as I avoid tantrum-throwing little folks in Walmart. :D

    If it is killable in this game, I would kill it.

    If they ever did put child npcs in they'd probably make them unkillable to avoid controversy I'd imagine. Though it's probably far more likely we'll just never see any child npcs.

    There are plenty of NPCs you can't even hit
    I'm sure it has more to do with time & money
    They would have to expand to child/teen voice actors

    They most likely didn't include child NPCs because they would add very little and largely only be a drain on processing resources.

    Pretty sure 99% of our characters are rendered sterile from the goop and gunk we feed them and coat them in.

    didnt like them in skyrim.
    dont see them in eso.
    i hope stays that way.
    best in slot: is the armor, weapon, clothing look, pet, or no pet, jewelry, race, class, skill choices, amount of DPS, and skin color best fit to you and the way you wish to play and makes you feel good and performs what YOU think it should be.

    worst in slot: what you read in zone chat, and forum comment, and forum thread, and you tube video, and live streamer advice, and class rep advice, and guild chat advice, and whisper told you to wear, and use for skill, and dress like, and use for weapon and armor.

    My ESO kid would be a good and true servant of Sithis. Aventus Aretino ftw! >:)
    It just works, it just works, little lies, stunning shows,
    people buy, money flows, it just works.
    It just works, it just works, overpriced open worlds,
    earnings rise, take my word: IT JUST WORKS!

    Because all the gaming sickos would be killing them. Nobody wants that, apart from the sickos.

    So, something related to tentacle then....
    Don't know why but Japanese anime comes to mind.

    I'd be all for having child NPC's

    however I am also aware that the reason we don't is that you can bet your ass there would be some nutters on the forums demanding to be able to kill them.
