What are wrong with polls?

Kids are in the game. So how would you solve this problem then?



You've only been here for two days. There have been to many polls lately. Anyone who wants to make a thread makes a poll. The poll leads to NO discussion and simple posts about their answer in the poll.

How do you know kids are in the game?

Because they were confirmed?

Where? :read:





Oh. I haven't seen many polls recently.

Simple, don't swing your weapon at the children. Just enjoy what the rest of the game has to offer and treat children as an immersion enhancer rather than a target. Then everything will be fine.

Oh right because you don't want it... right. Do you know what a reason actually is?

Example:

I want children in (they are anyway) because it's more immersive and creates some great quest opportunities and storylines.
It was not a problem in Fo3 because they ran away out the way of danger and where used in the main plot of the game anyway.

Hmm.

I feel vaguely like I've done something wrong, since..... well, I've never done that. :unsure:

I would solve it by making a patch that removed children completely. let me give you a little foresight from the opposite side of the conversation. once we have children, we will have to have babies that shout and cry all the time, because children had to be put in for realism purposes so that people know that npc's grew up from children, well children grow up from babies so we have to have babies, and then from there realism will demand pregnant women.... so on and so on. for something that is completely astetic.

I think I see what you mean about reason.

I don't want kids in the game because it's immersion breaking that kids run super fast and just disappear into thin air. It's also immersion breaking that you can't hit kids. And we will never be allowed to hit kids, so kids should not be included. I only played about 2 hours of Fo3, so I didn't see many children there.

This is old news. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS416US416&q=children+confirmed+in+skyrim.

I lol'd so hard at that. YOU should research these forums more, people go nuts when one person says something is confirmed based off an assumption. thats just what its like on these forums. a real confirmation would be a link to an article where some one from BGS is being interviewed and they literally say "x" is confirmed, otherwise, no matter how many people say whatever is confirmed. its not.

EDIT: like danger dan above. thats how you confirm something.

Why would you even want to hit kids?

If they add children, I'd love for you to make that mod as soon as possible.





I wouldn't. But what if I did it on accident? What if my pet troll (or whatever pet I'll have) starts trying to hit a kid? Or what if a dragon starts burning down a city?

Theres something wrong with that? In Fallout 3 every time I went to the Super Duper Mart, Bryan Wilkes would come running to me. I smacked hit with my lead pipe right before he talked to me and he did a 90 degree turn and ran. I though that was funny.

Bit silly logic tbh. I have posted why kids where not aesthetic in Fo3 in about every post I have made so far. They where in the main quest in that game. This is also not a Fable-esq game where there is nothing to do so the devs chucked in family elements as filler. Skyrim is huge.

Edit: Oh and kids didn't vanish into thin air, they just ran away when you got close lol. To clear that up about Fo3.

He was just assuming everyone has before.

Makes perfect logic to me. He speaks the truth. If you're all so strict on immersion, might as well have babies and pregnant women, right? :shrug:

NOOO not more Invincible people!

I love these guys (platonically).

Also, this is the best way to avoid a media (naughty word) storm. Even though Bethesda will never make children vulnerable to your carnage, Faux Noise and "concerned parents" will still find something to whine about. I can see it now: an oversite with the AI allows children to grab a bottle of liquor off the counter and kill it in 2 swigs, and every American that believes that prohibition was just handled wrong will break out the torches and pitchforks, claiming that "BETHESDA IS TRYING TO TEACH OUR 8 YEAR OLDS TO DRINK THEMSELVES TO DEATH EVEN THOUGH WE BOUGHT THEM A GAME FOR PEOPLE 17 AND UP". I actually did my English final on this.

How about make it where your weapon doesn't even function when aimed at a kid.

Me too. Sort of. I did it on punishments in schools with like rulers and stuff.

We shouldn't be able to talk to them either, because my big Nord has a dirty mouth. And also my Warrior with his face gashed open would scare them, so why even be able to look at children?

I really just hate the thought of children in Skyrim as you can see...

Thats what will likely happen. But I don't think we are allowed to talk about that. I just had this idea and wanted to post it. Not much thought involved. They wouldn't dissapear out of thin air either.

:rofl: This.
