Will somebody please think about the children!?

Post » Sat Sep 08, 2012 10:13 pm

Has nobody stopped to consider where the hell all the children are? I will admit that there are human children, but why do we not have any argonian children swimming in the local pool? Or Khajiit kids climbing walls and what not? Are Bethesda being supremists? or racist (if you can say that)? I for one would like to see a larger variety of children running around in maybe the next update? It is just one of those things that bugs me. Am I alone with these thoughts? Please tell me what you think...

I agree that all Races should have children. It would be great!
Especially for adopting in Hearthfire.

Are Bethesda being supremists? or racist (if you can say that)?
Ummmm... what?
It was likely a time budget matter.
It's very time consuming to create and animate an entire new mesh. Hence, the reason why the children that are in the game basically all look the same.
They probably just ran out time, and focused on more important matters. :)

Also... Khajiits, Redguards, Orcs, and Argonians are rather rare in the province, so they wouldn't be bringing their kids along on a dangerous journey to a foreign province.

Yeah, that's something that was brought up early on this year. It would be nice if Beth comes up with a dlc that introduces racial children.

There are http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Braith http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Kayd, but they look like all the others (with only a shade darker skin).
It would make sense to have Orc children in strongholds, and Dunmer, even Argonian children in cities such as Riften and Windhelm. I'm not sure how Khajiit culture works, whether they stay in their land until they're grown enough, or start traveling young.

All races should have a Male/Female Spouse and a kid.


Todd Howard hates Khajiit, i expect at least everything else though..
