✭✭Nope. All that baby shoes will remain unused.
The orphans in Wrothgar are all born as adults.

✭✭✭✭✭Considering that our response to "Won't you donate or help our Orphanage?" every year in the New Life Festival is to go out and brutally slaughter tons of wildlife, the adult caretakers may be wise to keep us from actually visiting with the children.17 -

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

✭✭I mean people do have kids in this universe right?
It's an agrarian society.
They graft cuttings onto mature adult stumps, wait several growing seasons, and then harvest young adults from there.The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.6 -

You've seen the ground littered with dead NPCs in places like Rawl'Kha and Vulkhel Guard.
Imagine the SJWs petitioning to shut the game down when some 'players' with the ability to be anonymous psychopaths ran rampant and slaughtered crowds of kids in the open world?
Many of us assume that the 'Rated 'M' for Mature' would mean nothing when 'Mom' discovers that Little Susie or Little Johnny was witnessing and/or participating in the rampant annihilation of 'child-NPCs'.
ZOS is making sure that none of you players has to see that.

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.

✭✭✭✭✭I contend there is/are (one of those is grammatically correct) children all over the game. They are playing hide and seek and are really good at it.
That or they are afraid of Winged Twilights and sorcs won't put them away when they should.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."5 -

✭✭Just had an awful thought... Where do all the filled crown store soul gems come from?

✭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.0 -

✭✭They most likely didn't include child NPCs because they would add very little and largely only be a drain on processing resources."The Heritance are racists yes? Idiots. But dangerous, destabilizing racist idiots." - Razum-dar

✭✭✭✭✭why use resources for all new character models and animations that barely contribute anything to the game... besides those damn kids where the most annoying thing in skyrim5 -

✭✭✭✭Next step from Pledge of Mara xp bonus
Adoption comes with more storage space.
Decide how you will take care of the child.
Is one of you going to be a stay at home parent while the other goes out to earn gold to provide food and shelter?
The child will be in the non-combat pets section and they can travel with you on your adventures. From Saving Tamriel time and time again, to stealing and murdering for your own benefit...and your Child's as well.
But if you and your partner decide to get a divorce then you're going to have to share custody of the child which means both of you only get half the bonus storage space from before.
Meanwhile your kid is really stressed out after the split-up, having travelled through Coldharbour, surviving dragon attacks, and seeing their parents straight-up stab random people in the streets for money.
Then the guards come after you to take away custody.

So, something related to tentacle then....
Don't know why but Japanese anime comes to mind.1 -
notyuu✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭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.3
