Id mow the little fuckrats down in a hail of minigun fire (even though Im a small guns player, ever since the original Fallout) laughing like fucking loon as the kiddy giblets fly. To the sound of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, while "fuck you Bethesda you chicken shits" flashes on screen in big red letters.
If only I could.....
If only I could.....
When I find the mod that lets me kill them Ill have no problem with them.
Hearing them say "watch it" every .2 nanoseconds drove me nuts! I'd walk along the sides not even close to them and they'd say "watch it!" ARRGH c'mere kids I got some hot lead candy for you!!!

Why am I the only one who likes Mayor MacReady? He punched Princess in the face! How is that not enough?
This reminds me of an extra punctuation Yahtzee made. There he said that real life compassion doesn't carry over to games. The result of this poll demonstrated this clearly. Granted, it's more like it varies between gamers how much of their real life compassion carries over to games instead of a black and white scenario, but this poll still says quite a lot.SmilingKitsune said:
Children in games aren't really children. They are actually just polygons with a programming that's supposed to give the player the illusion of a child. However, poor writing and other hiccups can break that illusion. Worse, the player can easily assign whatever attribute to the child he wants.
If a child is annoying in real life, you know that this is not all there is to the child. The child will have other personalities, have a wide spectrum of feelings and so on. However, a gamer who goes trough an area with annoying children can easily pick of the annoyance as the only defining trait of the children.
What the game makers are aiming at is that gamers will assign childlike human traits to the children and thus help create an illusion of a child. However, in this case a large percent of the gamers just assigned the annoying childlike aspects to those children and left every other childlike attribute out. This can easily happen if annoyance is the first impression they got. Worse, being annoyed makes people not wanting to deal with them meaning they are prevented from seeing other aspects than annoyance.
You can not just put children in a game and then expect people to actually treat them as children. A certain amount of writing is needed. Bethesda does however not have any writers AFAIK, so crap like this is what's going to happen.
As a side note, if you make a character invincible due to plot or other reasons, you do have a certain responsibility not to exploit that fact. To give the player reasons to want to kill a plot-invincible character is irresponsible.
I luaghed, those kids were awesome, and very cut throat at it, Betheseda did a good job writing them. Because if I was a kid living in a post nuclear war world, I would set up camp exactly like that. Granted, that whole practicalty of the rope bridge thing is a bit far fetched, but the set up of the Pack-esque monarchy was realistic for the context. After all the Mayor came into power simply by punching Princess in the face.
The irony of it all, is the kids were far better off then any adult in the wastelands, they had rudimentary education, a steady food supply, protection from raiders and super-mutants, and a so far succesful social system, if a bit saddening.
Plus I had the Child at Heart perk, that made that section not even the least bit annoying.

I loved the lil bastards, they were basically a post-apocalyptic version of Peter Pan's Lost Boys, and the leader was named after Kurt Russell's character in The Thing.
