In a game about atmosphere and the world, like the Bethesda games, limiting options of stuff to do is stupid, reminds you that you are in a game.
Why is killing a kid any worse than killing an adult?
And so what if I want to kill a kid? It's a video game. If I want to run naked by the town with a flamethrower, killing everything in my sight and raping the remains, it's still a videogame.
"Ohh, but it might inspire violent behavior, we don't want anybody reproducing this kinda thing in real life, somebody might get hurt, it's wrong, god says you mustn't kill, why, SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN"
So killing children is something we would not like to see in games, so it's not reproduced in real life, but killing and mangling adults is okay, since it's allowed in the game, it's no problem if you do that, right?
Give me a fucking break. It's a goddamn videogame.
And yeah, god/gaia/etc? Totally a child murderer.
