I'm confused. Below is something I copied and pasted from another thread. Not only does Eldron point out that we are not aloud to have topics about children but a Mod locked the topic because it was about children yet this thread is about children and Mods are even commenting. I don't care one way or another if we can't or can but can somebody clarify these rules about discussing children so I know whether I can comment without being warned again? Thanks

I don't like the idea of children but I guess as long as you can do to them what were not aloud to talk about then it will be ok but if they're invincible or just become unconscious when they're health gets to low then I will go trade Skyrim in at gamestop for some used games. I play on XBOX 360 so I cannot mod it either.


It has been confirmed that children are invincible. Probably because the ESRB would tear them apart if children could be killed. Yes, I said it. I'll repeat, threads about children on these forums are not aloud, no matter what's posted in them, as a mod has clearly told me. So I figure, say what you want before it's locked.

little khajiits, argonians and orcs, enough said

Look at the first page on the thread, mod explains it. He wasn't entirely truthful - Mods don't want any talk about killing children or arguing about the invincibility. Their inclusion in Skyrim is just a feature, so we can talk about backstory, effects on environment, but not any serial-killerish thoughts. That's just wrong.

Edit: He being the one who said "as a mod has clearly told me." in that post. Not the mod.

Ugh, [censored] no. I hate everything about Little Lamplight with a passion. I hate the theme, I hate the characters, I hate its history and backstory, I hate its location on the map, and I hate the fact it's required to pass through to complete the main quest. It's the singlemost reason I honestly wish Bethesda would not touch children with a fifty-foot pole.

to eat them sure .... i love children ...

Sheogorath here i come !!! weeeeeeh

I may have to try that some time and see if I can retcon Morrowind from being obliterated. Among all my TES characters to which I've attributed a set age, I don't think any were younger than 26 or so. Something about the old, grizzled adventurer or sheltered mage who is suddenly placed into a new world and forced to step outside the traditions and profession they've grown up alongside their entire life is more appealing to me than some youngin' deciding to run off and make a name for themself.

Cool thanks. :intergalactic:

Sounds cool to me, reminded of of The Name of the Wind

Baby dragons?

The Adoring Fan was pretty much still a kid ...

In Certain Area's of towns you shouldn't be savely, in 'slums' 'lil annoying kids most likely the eyes and ears of the local thieves guild, you want some information throw a septim (or whatever) in the air, and they crawl around you like rats, but beaware check you pockets ....

That would be really nice if you ask me ...

Now age changing spell, now that woud be swell. Just like the witches in daggerfell.... i mean daggerfall. But yeah it would be nice for a number of different aged children, But the question would be what would the cutoff set age, would count as being advlt ingame thus lossing the whole not dying thing. I suppose you can win smashing the glass and putting it back together. Still..... Children would be nice, one of the few wtf, in my tes games in morrowind and OB was why is everyone single, married but no children or have children who are already around 23 years of age?

LOL Baby Dragons should be cute and fun...probably they make them agressive like the one in Harry Potter lol... :frog:

I'm the same in all honesty. Silver hair is badass, so I usually go with white or silver hair whenever I make a serious character...they end up looken pretty old. Its probably because we get the teenage hero beaten over our heads to much for it to be appealing anymore. I think it has to do with our age as well. No self respecting 25 year old wants to get saved by some pre-teen. And no teenager wants to get saved by some crusty old guy. And so, when its an option we play as close to our own age as possible.

I don't see any problem with having children in TES, and I think anyone who does needs to stop living in their little safety bubble. It's not going to hurt anything, and it's going to add realism and another dimension of possibilities. It worked fine in Fallout 3, and it will work out even better in Skyrim.

I'm turning eighteen in a month. :mellow:

Of course I'm also a career workaholic and miss the days of the 1950s when teenagers dressed like advlts, but whatever.

There is an exeption to every rule. But what I probably should have said as you play as close as you can to how old you feel on the inside.

You obviously have never seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonslayer.

if there is an exception to every rule, that means there is an exception to that, so the statement you just said would be true and false

I dont see why people are so concerned about children its not like they will even play that big of a role in the game

You are allowed to discuss children and the part they play in the game, they are confirmed. What you are not allowed to discuss is causing children harm in any way - and that includes talking about mods that will allow harm to children. Several other topics have been closed because of members ignoring the forum rules and blatantly bringing up the topic of child killing.

We realise that some of you wish to talk about kids and that is fine, just don't raise prohibited subjects.

its going to interesting to see what its like to have children in skyrim. hmmmmmmm i wonder if you can adopt one?

You aren't alone! Though in TES rules a Khajiit father and Imperial mother would have Imperial children. Vice verse if it was an Imperial father and Khajiit mother it would be a Khajiit child.

I do wonder if the various forms of Khajiit are obvious at first, or if they are born and then grow up into whatever form they will have. Do the phases of the moon apply outside of Elsweyer when Khajiit are born as well?

An FYI for you I have seen it...so I don't even know why you obviously don't understood what I was expressing.

The children in little lamplight was annoying and designed to be so, the rest was a nice addition, yes they has to have a special code part, always run away if attacked (thing annoying fan) and made so enemy is not interested in a long chase so they don't end up with a tail of enemies chasing them to the end of the map.
This code would also be nice for other non combat essential npc. Found it pretty idiotic that you got npc who atacked enemies, was knocked down want up and down the next second.

I hope Khajiit kittens look cute and yes yarn and kittens has to have an effect or I get disappointed.
Off topic: Still remember entering a inn in Balmora the first time I played Morrowind and ended up right behind a Khajiit, I wanted to pull some tail but found no way to do it


Kids in fallout had a hard to determine age. Yes she you was asked to enslave was perhaps 8 the rest of the lamplight kids was probably around 12-14 years, the one who was thrown out was late teen.
However it's hard to notice an year unless you look closely or it's a toddler.
