I really do not see the issue, just have YOUR child that you ADOPT and or give birth to (if thats a option by time it comes out) to ONLY age than STOP aging about what ur character looks like, so if ur character looks like a certain age, lets say 30's than make him look like that after several weeks of in game play equal in all the times you sleep and WAIT for days at a time, fast foward, fade to black, kinda stuff like they do in fable...I hate to bring up that game but ya, it might not make a ton of sense but sure they could figure something out...
Maybe a mage uses magic on ur kid so he grows up within a week to advlthood to fight beside you? I don't need anymore unkillable children thank you beth!
You'd think the answer to this thread would be obvious, even to someone who knows nothing about the game making process.
Even if you remove hardware and financial limitations...how would you describe what happened to the Dragonborn's family in the next game? You'd have to account for the fact that some guy went and had about 18 kids because he could. Where did all those kids go by the time of the next game? Where are his grandkids?
I'm glad that they only went with adoption.
Yet most people tend to adopt irl more than just one kid, who is to say that you wouldn't here? Why have only one kid when you could have five?
