✭✭✭Skyrim was the first ES game to have children. They probably didn't put children in because they serve no purpose. They can't fight, your not allowed to kill them, the just annoy you. Plus putting children into a war torn ravaged and bloody land would definately catch more negative attention from the media who thik games are going to make us mass murder people instead of playing the game and realizing it just makes us want more Cheetos and Mt Dew.Edited by ers101284b14_ESO on June 15, 2014 3:53AM26 -

✭The truth of the matter is its easier to code models that are the same size or close to the same size, than to make animations and designs for somethng much smaller so they took a shortcut and left them out.15

Ok well your not supposed to. It's like gaming law. You don't kill a child for fun. And you don't show it. Like in Heavy Rain 2 children die but you never actually see it happen.2 -

Hmm true... Now that I think of it, you either just see her getting bit or just falling out the screen with a walker.
I'm not sure, I read somewhere that in WS you get a quest to kill kids, not sure if it is true.
Also, in MGS Ground Zeroes at the end, you see the death of one but since it is with an explosion, you don't actually see anything."The Divines gave you a nose for a reason, Tharn. So you can keep your mouth shut and still keep breathing. - Lyris Titanborn0 -

I highly doubt there's a quest to kill children in WS. Maybe some small enemies but not children. The only game I can think where you kill kids is Super Columbine RPG, and that was made by some ******* in his basement and not an actual game company.1 -

Oh yeah they would be all over that and it would get shut down. Like I always see media people talking about kids playing violent games but no one mentions how the kids get their hands on video games. All major retailers like Walmart, Target, GameStop, ect ect are not allowed to sell M rated games to kids. If an employee sells an M rated game to a kid they can be fired and the company can be sued.0 -

Yes please, a few children in cities would be nice, and maybe towns and villages too. Having Children running around playing, getting in the way would make the world feel more real.
I don't want children casualties in the game, we can skip that bit of realism, but having children refugees would be ..well not nice exactly, but more immersive.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Aeradon✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, miss 'em and need 'em.
These children NPC better be short enough for my horses to jump over. I love the riding aspect where you have to dodge the NPC, adding another aspect would be fun (:
We'll have "Need for Gallop" races in the city (:People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

The parents/ grandparents/ aunts/ uncles buy them for the kids of course. When they are carded, they dutifully present their card, never questioning why they were carded when they weren't even purchasing alcohol.2 -

Those two brats of the Whiterun Jarl are worth offing (after you do the boy's quest, anyway.) Another is that random brat who keeps saying she's not scared of me. Well, not any more she isn't - she was too dumb to run."M'aiq believes the children are our future. But he doesn't want them ruining all of our fun"_M'aiq The Liar, TES4

Ma'iq has it right there. I see kids being used to bash and control adult behaviour all the time. Oh, let's ban smoking from all apartment units, because a unit might have a kid in it, etc. Friend of mine told me the other day about an incident where he was sitting on a bench, quite alone; then some woman with kids went out of her way to come sit right there, and then complain about him smoking his cigar around her kids. He quite rightly told her and her demonspawn to *** off.
Nah, I don't feel the need for kids in this game, unless I'm allowed to punt the mouthy little brats like gnomes for field goals.

Yeah, people don't have any common sense any more, if you're bothered by someone smoking don't go over to them and sit there. But it wasn't her kids that were to blame, just the stupid woman.Edited by AlexDougherty on June 15, 2014 9:21PMPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
