In previous games you could become a werewolf or a vampire, so do you think they would make a new transformation or incorporate the two? I think the Skyrim setting would be perfect for werewolves! Though if they were to incorporate the two, $5 says there's a Twilight spoof/reference. LMAO lets hope not

(Not sure if I'm allowed to talk about this but let me know If im not)

I read the Game Informer Magazine and it said something involving a young boy. Do you think they are going to put children into the game with something preventing you from killing them like how it was in Fable? Any thoughts?

Yes, children are confirmed. I'm not sure how attacking them works because my characters were never sick enough to do that in Fallout or Fable.

Yes, there will be children; and they will probably be made immortal.

We can't discuss child killing on the forums, its restricted.

Fair question, but just a heads up for everyone - we really don't want to discuss the killing of children on these forums, be it game related or otherwise. .

Can we at least give them items with Paralyze [or other non-lethal] CE if they become too annoying? Or hit them with a fear spell so they run for the hills? We should be able to have a little fun when the kids act smart-alecky... shouldn't we?

Ah ok, sorry but yeah I should have remembered how there were children in Fallout and it worked out.

Well Fable made it impossible to even affect the children.

As for the transformations, maybe they will allow for a merging of the two. I would love to be a Were-pire!!!

Incorporate the two like you can become a werevampire? That just sounds crazy.

I'd like to become a were-slaughterfish and have to live out the rest of my days attacking anything that falls into Skyrim's icy waterways. Where do you guys come up with this stuff?

I'm hoping Skyrim will follow through with a "children are meant to be seen, not heard" medieval mantra. Now get back to cleaning the stables, sirrah. Or no supper.

Sorry, what I meant by incorporate the two was having both in game and possibly having them as rival factions. But a werewolf/vampire wouldnt be all that crazy, they did it in Underworld hahaha

Also, I would like to become a Werebear, I hope they add them in too.

you will never be able to kill children in games that are rated M, I dont even know about A

I hope if they have children in the game that they quickly remove them...I find children in games for the most part very annoying. Of course I feel the same about Non-game related children as well.

Please, please, please let were-chickens be in! If we don't get were-chickens granting +50 to all skills and the almighty "Deathcluck" ability I am so done with TES.

Your missin out!

Gotcha. Warring factions between the two could work. As long as it doesn't turn into this sissy Twilight crap. Vomit.

if you plan on getting the PC version you might be able to mod them out, but I doubt the devs will remove them as children seem to be confirmed

Discussion of harming children is kinda an iffy subject-recently I've seen it being done to some extent in a semi-reasonable manner without moderator action (in the "unkillable NPCs" thread). I think it's best to avoid heated arguments or trolling in regards to the subject obviously or graphic descriptions of what some players might for whatever reason want to be able to do to children. I do think however that constructive discussion about how child NPCs should be handled in the game, whether they're worth having if they're entirely immortal, ways in which there could be compromises between making it realistic and making it not become controversial should be allowed so long as it doesn't get out of hand or anything. And if it does get out of hand, the moderators should deal with the people who caused it to get out of hand rather than closing the thread altogether. Of course, it's not my place to tell the moderation team to do their jobs, I'm just offering my two cents on the matter.

I think it's a given that if they are included we won't be able to kill them. I don't think I can know for sure that they're included until I either read something that explicitly states "children will be included in the game" or see a sreenshot that shows a child in it. All I saw in the GI article were some examples that appeared to involve children-but there was no clear indication of whether that meant it was something they actually saw in the game.

There could also be a thing where drawing your weapon in a public location would provoke an appropriate response from those around you, including children-who would run and hide in some location the player would not have access to for a certain period of time-for instance if the player leaves the town and comes back a certain time later. There could still be certain areas of town like "practice ranges" where you can draw your weapon without a negative reaction but children would mostly stay away from there's areas since their parents likely prohibit it.

As for transformations-it looks like Werewolves are confirmed by one of the screenshots to at least exist in Skyrim, and I think there's a fair chance that the player will be able to contract Lycanthropy as well. Allowing for a vampire-werewolf hybrid would be cool but also difficult to balance in terms of gameplay so I wouldn't count on it.

I think I mentioned in another thread that if they make Vampires sparkle they should still be bursting into flames at the same time-or maybe they start out sparkling, then the sparkles turn into flames. lol

Hopefully they do the kids right. I don't want to be in a epic battle and have kids walking around all happy in the battlefield like nothing is happening.

Seconded.

I am going to remind everyone again that the discussion of harming children is a prohibited subject here. It seems that despite a previous advice from a moderator the subject still is being discussed. We will have to start warning and suspending those members who do not heed this advice.

Plus - I want werebears in the game.

Does this include discussing the use of none lethal spells like Paralyze or Fear spells? [just for future reference]


...oh, btw... will these be cuddly werebears?

Really why would they make us suffer kids ><

Yah not a good idea to start things like that.
