So the kids in my communities wont do any work.. Worthless children.

Mod idea: Child labor sweatshops.

I haven't seen any kids in my settlements yet(thankfully).

Be very thankful. I look and see 10 people at my new settlement. Go to check them out and hook them up with gear only to have two snot nose kids there.. They dont want to work, wear protective gear and wont even carry a weapon. Useless kids. I cant wait for child slave labor mod.

Haven't these kids ever heard of that kid named "Carl". (Walking Dead)

The only children in settlements ive seen are children who are supposed to be there (like the abernathys farm) and 2 children at another settlement and so on.. those children will farm the crops but not do anything else.

sorta like the four worthless people you get with Preston.

Yea you can't even assign them to work they just ignore you, the one guy just keeps whining about his dead family, after hearing him hour after hour complain I want to take my gun out and put him out of his misery. Personally they have really fouled this entire story up, I don't give a darn if any of the people live or die, in fact I may go postal on the entire Settlement I wonder if my own turrets would turn on me LOL

Yes they will.

I know that Marcy girl mouthed off to me once and I popped her in the mouth with my pistol and she looked angry for a second and walked away lol

She hasn't spoken as much lately either

Edit: also they're essential so you can't kill them

The only children I've seen in the entire game are in Diamond City. And I suppose in vault 8-something. But I haven't gotten in there yet. Kinda hoarding my fusion cells.

I haven't seen a single child that I can remember in 35 hours except for Piper's sister.

Hopefully there will be a mod that will allow you to interact with them the same as any other settler.
