I wish we had the possibility to take the children to the Honorhall Orphanage instead of just leaving the kids :/

That would make me feel much better.

Here's my paraphrase of 'High King Ulfric'...

"I fight for the men I've held in my arms, dying on foreign soil! I fight for their wives and children, whose names I heard whispered in their last breath. And when one of those children winds up wandering around the Gray Quarter, selling flowers to stay alive and sleeping in a snowdrift, I do absolutely nothing to help her. I fight... because I'm a hypocritical, power-hungry weiner."

Me thinks Sophie & Lucia drive the missus up the wall but hey, at least they have a nice warm abode at Lakeview Manor now. WIsh I can find the farm which Lucia was kicked out from. Her uncle deserves a good FUS RO DAH or two.

Like I said, hard to pick just two.

Aventus's unadoptability is perplexing. His story is just as sad as the other kids. My theory is that the Hearthfire team just forgot, since it makes NO sense that they would choose to leave him rotting in his home. And the developers might be fallible, but they're not dumb.

It might have been a simple glitch. If so, an Aventus patch may be in the works as we speak.

Aventus has a unique voice actor; from some leftovers in the file, they did want to have Aventus be up for adoption but couldn't get his actor back.

Aventus' VA sounds a little older, and is a marginally better actor. However, the child actors have matured a bit since the vanilla lines were recorded, so the difference is less distinct now.

And of course, you can't force someone to act for you, and we don't know what their contracts entailed (it's possible, for example, that the vanilla actors who came back for Dawnguard and Hearthfire were bound by their contracts to act for Skyrim and all its eventual content). The other option would be to get an entirely new actor to re-record all his vanilla lines, which means essentially paying twice for the same lines, all for a relatively minor character.

That does explain it, sadly. As well as why he never returns to Honorhall in HF. He'd have to be adoptable if he did.

It's possible that his voice changed between the recording of the vanilla game and HF, so he wouldn't have been recognizable.

Ha HAAA! So true.

Just tell your adopt-a-kids that you've gone goth.

Hey, a warm bed, some sweetrolls, and a nice fat allowance, they might not care!

Such a simple cheap download but man there is some extremely good stuff in there which the main game has to a considerable extent lacked, DG was a step in the right direction and HF finishes it off Bethesda deserve a lot of praise for that one. Its sort of like the icing on the cake.

It allows RPing players to go in directions that suit them. And that's a very good thing, in my opinion.

Maybe in your game. my stormcloak general and Ulfric's right hand gal adopted her. It suited the RP to adopt a daughter of a dead stormcloak couple. :)

That makes perfect sense. My Dunmer, supporter of the Imperial Legion, will be doing the exact same thing for Legion orphan Blaise.
