The way I see it, it depends, if you have very big retribution (See Fallout for details) it could be allowed. I wouldn't enjoy doing it, but I suppose its not to say I wouldn't try

You can kill kids in Fallout, it's Fallout 3 you can't.

It annoys me when people are plot indestructible, it really annoys me when they're indestructible because it might be damaging for me to see them die.

Which is why I mod them to be killable and do it anyway.

Because they deserve to have a long and fulfilling life?
Also think of the media shitstorm that would happen if a game where you could kill children came out

ESRB won't approve anything in which children are depicted being hurt by the player. Bioshock came about as close as possible.

Oblivion doesn't have children in it for that reason.

Apparently, it's a HUGE issue to the ESRB, but I don't see it as any more reprehensible than killing any other non-combatant. I suppose the easiest way to slide it into a game would be to make a game about the Vietnam War when kids were strapped with bombs and blew up the soldiers who tried to give them candy. Basically, no game professionally released will have child-killing.

Edit: I forgot about the original Fallout, how the hell did Interplay slip that through? I only killed them if they attacked me. Then again, the whole town went berzerk if you killed anyone.

well the kids in it can kill you if you piss em off and all you can do is knock them out for about 5 seconds with 50 rounds while 80 mor evil children are trying to murder you

Hmm the only game I can think of where you can kill children in is Bioshock but due to the way in which is asks you to decide I've never killed one. I wouldn't see it as a big problem in a game like grand theft auto though.

Because your game will be immediately jumped on and your home will be burned to the ground by reactionist retards. Are you being serious with this question?

well it raises the idea that killing an adult is perfectly fine compared to a child

Never steal anything from little Lamplight, trust me, that kid with the shotgun, his bark is far worst then his bite, and by bite I mean his shotgun

Wish you could in Fable 2 you could kill your wife but no you couldn't kill the kids
Yahtzee pointed that one out in his Fable 2 review

Ahhh the joys of mods.
Going to Little Lamplight with a Fatman, a Gatling Laser and a Minigun. It feels like Christmas.

OT: I don't think it's wrong wether you can kill children in games or not. They don't exist, and I play games so that I can ignore reality.

I think it's good we can't kill kids in games. Not because of any moral high ground or anything, I just fear for what would happen if Fox News found out.

Weird....must have gotten an american version somehow. Buy a new one if you want to kill murder save children.
I've already said I've modded them to be killable anyway.
