Don't people realize that if the game allowed the player to kill kids, it would pretty much automatically mean an AO rating? And that means most retail stores - and possibly Steam, not sure - would not support it. Bethesda's hands are tied. (BTW I know Fallout 1 and 2 allowed you to kill kids and got away with an M rating, but the ESRB was a lot more lax back then)
But GOD are those little fucks annoying. Especially that girl in Whiterun. You know which one.

The kids in the game this time around seem tailored to piss you off. That one girl in Whiterun make's me want to shout her across the map. I don't really care about the child killing, it was in Fallout so whatever. But it will be sweet to murder that annoying girl.
Absolutely nothing.LastGreatBlasphemer said:
Ok, now that we have that out of the way...
Really?
You have a problem with killing video game people-- provided that they're children-- but you proudly admit threatening an actual young person with a knife? And then threaten anyone who would have the inclination to want to kill annoying NPCs (if those NPCs are children) with vehicular murder?
Interesting.
People aren't really disturbed by killing video game children. The disturbing part is that the modders specifically went out of their way to try and kill the children, (or they noticed they weren't dying when they should've been), decided that this was a big enough problem that they took the time to create a program specifically so that children could die. The disturbing part of this mod's supporters is that the death of video game children is felt as necessary for your experience.
I expected this mod to get the sort of attention from the media it deserves: none. Someone made a mod for children to die. Ok. Fine. To each his own. There's no need for the type of attacks on this mod, but there certainly isn't any need for the amount of defense it's getting.

If a simulated kid is behaving simulated badly, I should simulated kick it's little ass.urprobablyright said:
The dev community has gotten themselves into a situation similar to having unregistered posters run rampant on a forum with no consequence: Allowing little cretins to behave badly without fear of retribution in their game world.
If you think that a warning/ban system is appropriate for forum users (I do), then you should probably feel the same way about the simulated little darlings in-game.
Yes, the kids are annoying, but does it really matter that much? The guy opposite me in the cell in Oblivion pissed me right off (criticising my character that I just spent 30 minutes creating god damn you...) but just it didn't bother me enough to care about exacting murderous revenge. Plus, us lot getting up in arms about stuff like this just draws the fire of the Fox News/Daily Mail "ban this filth!" brigade.
Also, I find it a bit weird that the article raises Skyrim's lack of heterosexual bias as a valid argument to raise in the context of how this affects Bioware's stance on violence against children. Irrespective of your views on that (imo right-on) choice, it was irrelevant to this issue.
EDIT: orginally I said you couldn't kill the prison guy, but turns out you can. Sorry for dropping the ball on that one.

Ha, thanks man, just doing my part to point out the more obvious and/or obscure things people miss.kenu12345 said:
What I really want is to be standing over the kid and the guard walk up and be like "You look like someone stole your sweetroll". I would die laughing at this.Kakulukia said:
If you read further I said that "I" personally don't kill "innocent" adults either (of course people can sometimes differ on the definition of what is innocent).Amnestic said:
As to why Bethesda allow you to murder innocent civilians, I guess that just boils down to freedom of choice and be cautious about breaking the immersion. You would then argue "why are adults ok to kill and not kids?" to which I would counter argue that this standard where children are sacrosanct is all through society and our culture and is generally recognised. The people posting here arguing against child killing in games are part of the majority, not Random McKilljoys.
This concept is so messed up I'm not gonna bother with it, except to say this:
Why do you feel the need for children to die in a computer game?
Don't just shrug that question off. Think about it. I mean REALLY think about it.
Is it NECESSARY to be able to kill children?
Or are you going to do it "for fun"? (In that case, you may need to think long and hard about what you call fun.)
