Anyway, I suppose I can see why some people would want the child killing mod, seeing as some of them are quite annoying and I don't see the harm in it. Giving players the opportunity to mass murder innocent men, women and animals, but then whining that mods give the opportunity to add kids to that list is ridiculous. Also, I find the "You shouldn't want to kill kids" argument hilarious, seeing as it implies that wanting to kill everything else in cold blood is perfectly normal and acceptable.
Not going to download it, seeing as it's against the law here. Besides, I don't really have the urge to kill them. Sure they're annoying, but they're kids. I'll just ignore them and be on my way.

That sidesteps the question though. That's the same argument a lot of people use to justify banning games for killing adults -- that killing people in a game is indicative of a desire to kill them in real life.

Now, granted that doesn't fit for everyone, but it's the general gist.
Let me see if I get this right. It's not okay wanting to kill a kid in real life therefore not okay in a game. But it's perfectly alright to join the Dark Brotherhood? That's just silly. By that logic it's cool if you want to kill someone as long as they are adults.urprobablyright said:Sometimes when I complain about immature content in a game trolls say to me:
Well, in return, I now say:"It's fun. Have you got something against fun jerkface?"
You should not want to kill kids. If you've got a problem with those kids, walk away from them. It's a pretty simple bleeding concept that you should have (but probably didn't) learnt in real life. Kind of like on this forum, when trolls tell others:"If I ever meet you in real life, stay the hell away from my kids, jerkfaces"
I know a lot of you might have had trouble with highschool, in which you may have wished you could kill that damn handsome boy who did homework well, played sports and had many friends of the opposite sex, but you didn't do it in real life, and you should be able to get by without doing it in games."If you don't like the content of this post, don't read it"
If you're on the 'I just want a realistic representation' bandwagon then I still think you should not want the chance to kill kids. If you want realism you shouldn't be walking around with fire balls, killing giant spiders, or instantly healing a percentage of your hitpoints by consuming a plant or combination of plants you picked up off the ground, or imbibing a red fluid. Maybe you should just imagine that in this world, kids reign supreme as a silent mass of influential, omnicient beings.
EDIT: There turns out to be a third party: People who got pissed off by the mocking kids. "Rise Above" is the first thing to come to mind, but if I ever wanted to get rid of kids I'd want to try do something like using magic to levitate them and deposit them on top of a pillar, or smacking them off map with the DK hammer from super smash bros. Slicing into them with an axe doesn't interest me.
If you're thinking of typing "Yo, urprobablyright, it's a game - has no consequences, should not be a matter of weight", well, I have considered that opinion and am sick of people saying stuff like that to justify games that are just appealing to shock popularity.
There's a term for this in the movie world: "Exploitation movies", movies that are full of ridiculous scenes just for appeal (see: The Human Centipede, A Serbian Film) You guys just want some hideous abandon as far as I concern no reasoning about the fact that it is simulated takes away from the fact that you patronize simulated child abuse.
Thats like something someone who took 1 class of psychology in community college would say man. Now your also equating it to child pronography. That is in a whole different zip code compared to this. You really cant group people into groups as simply as that. Even saying that almost everyone who wants to kill kids in a game wants to kill kids in RL subconciously just seems bogus.LastGreatBlasphemer said:Do some reading on subconscious desires, Freud may have been a quack but he was onto quite a few things.

If anything, it makes tag more believable.
Maybe if the kids weren't such jerks people wouldn't make these as quickly :/
I stopped reading here. I don't want to kill kids, neither does my tolerant Nord sword swinger or my lazy Imperial ranger. My slightly insane pyromaniac Dunmer however does not discriminate.urprobablyright said:You should not want to kill kids. If you've got a problem with those kids, walk away from them.

I think that THIS is what the fuss is about.Soviet Heavy said:The kids in Skyrim are little shits who go out and mock you at every opportunity...
I'll be using this mod to reenact Revenge of the Sith, albeit with slightly more justification that they were bugging me before. Don't really see what the fuss is about.
Not everything a developer does is done because of the reaction they want to incite/avoid. People have the right to control what is and isn't included in their product, and Bethesda has made it clear that they don't want to devote resources to allow sick people to enact personal fantasies of infanticide. Its the same reason why I wouldn't expect them to include a feature that lets you rape woman and mutilate bodies. Its simply a moral black hole that the game would rather tactfully avoid rather than try to shatter the narrative tone for the sociopath market.Hammeroj said:I second the "about damn time" motion, I just wish Bethesda moved on past that dumb-ass weaksauce stance on children. It's so pathetic, dead children literally don't exist in their games, even when they're supposed to. For instance, there is some lighthouse, where, reading the journals, you find out that a family of 4 was killed. You see the mom dead, you see the dad dead, children? Not a fucking hint of 'em.
I mean come on, man, don't have it in then, for fuck's sake, if you're that concerned about what a dumbass reporter on Fox could say.
