well if the rumors are true, my adoptive kids and wife will not survive if they can be killed by the enemies that attack the house area, so far ive been attacked by a blood dragon, elder dragon, a mudcrab, a bandit crew, and a bear... and im still in the building phase of the house... anyone have a family yet and can confirm the rumors false or not?

gamesas's official stance with Children is "They can't be killed."

This doesn't mean it can't happen off-screen, but I seriously doubt that any adoptive children will be "killed" in a random attack. At least from anything that's official by gamesas.

That's the whole point of defending your house..



well Yeah, Cept for kids, Just protect your wife

learned that children cant be killed a while back from my own hand atleast when that ingrate in whiterun (cussed) me out lol so i struck her lightly with my blade a dozen times.....

but that is good to know that they possibly cant be killed by random attacks

Also i heard you can give them Weapons. No Defending your house.

Give the kids weapons? As they can not be killed that sounds like an excellent idea, give them an decent weapon and send them outside to play with the dragons, sooner or later they will kill it unless it flies away.
Can the kids be hurt and knocked down like essential npc or are they immune to damage? If they are immune they would be perfect tanks.

i'm not worried, im married to mjoll so my wife and kids are immortal and she can hold down the house when im not around

Just make sure to hire some beast of a guard to guard your house, some from the companions guild sounds good enough

They are tanks

You mean the Wolf Aela? She has an Amazing bow, Armor, and she has Claws

So far I've had Elk, Blood Dragon, a Mudcrab and Serveral Wolves attack my house. None of them did anything though, this is why we should have guards we can hire.

Just finished bulding the exterior and haven't had any problems yet.
