Lol I like how Pete's response ignores the 3-4 years part.

they should have had todd clear up what he said, not pete. Pete's just playing words games, it seems :P

Go TESV!

...wow.

If you don't let people kill kids in the game because the market and its laws don't allow it, okay- it can't be avoided.

If you make children in an M rated game invincible because you have the idea that its wrong to have destructible children in a video game filled with gore and murder... what the hell are you thinking?

Is it more wrong to murder children than it is to kill adults? Wait a minute.. it doesn't matter. Both are wrong and neither should be done. With that in mind, you've gotten used to killing adults in video games, so apparently thats not "wrong" in your eyes. But when your character kills a virtual child, suddenly you're shocked? Killing children in a video game isn't cruel. (You aren't 'killing' real children. Your killing an interactable picture of one.) Certainly not if killing adults isn't. Choose a side, or drop your irrational, hypocritical argument.

Also- It isn't the benefit of killing kids in the game that I personally care about, its the presence of indestructible weakling children that break the immersion that the game tries to create.

They try to create a game where you can do anything you want... except apparently kill the weakest type of humanoid in the game? They should have a better reason for that than imaginary morality .. the type of morality that gives old Grannies heart attacks when they hear curse words.

Anyway, the game wouldn't be forcing you to kill children. It would be making it possible. It makes sense that an evil character might kill children. It makes sense that a child would be harmed by bullets and explosions. It makes sense that a 'good' character should have to be careful about fighting near children, not throwing bombs next to one to take out a nearby bad guy. If anyone is in the 'wrong', its that evil character, and I (being the good person that I am) think that the authorities IN THE GAME should go after and capture that evil child-killing, monster! because IN THE GAME is the only place where its wrong.
