Playing through the DB quest for the first time I hated babette and was annoyed she remained afterwards Also I remember playing Dawnguard siding with the vampires and one of the options when her father confronts you is like "I would never do that to Serana" and holy poo poo they really expected me to connect with this character way more than I did

I don't understand why Bethesda insists on having kids in their games and then making them the most insufferable kids ever.

The Horse Power Armor thing proves they're not above jabs like that, and there's no way Little Lamplight isn't a response to all the creeps freaking out about even a hypothetical lack of children to kill in the leadup to Fallout 3.

Bethesda sure showed everyone when they made one of their first installments of their new line of bullshit overpriced DLC for Fallout 4 a reference to their first installment of bullshit overpriced DLC for Oblivion.

What am I looking at here? It's a 20 second clip of him getting up on the catwalk in Little Lamplight, gasping, talking to the girl, then hitting a stealth boy. Then the clip ends.

I think the thing with children in Bethesda games may be partly due to the fact that in Europe, you're not permitted to depict children being harmed in a video game. Fallout 1 and 2 had children in it, and you could get the Child Killer trait if you attacked them. The UK releases of Fallout 1 & 2 were patched to 'remove' the kids, but in reality, it just made them invisible, which means they can still do stuff like pick you pockets and you wouldn't know why you lost an item. The only other game that I think did something similar was Half-Life 2, where the plot point about the suppression field was conceived (  ) as a way to explain why there were no children running around Combine-occupied Earth.

Generally I'd guess that the reason people want to kill kids in games is probably the fact that it is somewhat annoying to be given 'freedom' in a sandbox game, and then having that freedom=fun logic derailed by arbitrary rules you don't necessarily agree with, because that breaks the illusion of freedom. Yes it is basically a "but my immersion!" complaint, but try to remember that people are irrational (despite the cognitive bias that makes them think they are being objective and rational) and negative emotional reactions are almost always very disproportionate to the cause, and in this case the immersion is the idea "this is a game that lets you do pretend to be whoever you want and do whatever you want for fun, so by playing it you are having fun!" (e: even if the player didn't want to kill child NPCs, simply having the "NO YOU CAN'T KILL THAT" in a murderrific violence sandbox is annoying.) What annoyed me in Fallout New Vegas was the fact that trying to enter VATS when there's a child in the same region, the UI glitches out because the game refuses to let you even try to target them; but the scripting tries to cycle through all available entities when you switch targets and there are several cases where you get ambushed by multiple enemies in an area with kids running around. But I didn't go looking for a killable children mod. Apparently the fact they're immortal in FO3 wasn't enough? (They can be hurt, but when their HP hits 0 they just become 'unconscious' for a few seconds and get back up fully healed.) silentsnack fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Oct 5, 2017 |

I wiped out little lamplight during my "depopulate the wasteland" run using that child killer mod and another one that removes everyone else's essential tag. Come to think of it that was my last run of FO3. Everyone in that game is insufferable.

I think if your enjoyment of a game is being kneecapped by the fact that you can't murder children for being in it, you need to stop playing video games and talk to a professional. (General you, not specific you)

And on the plus side, by being immortal, you can Fus Ro Dah them (and other essential NPCs now that I think about) across the map and they just get up and go about their business, which is hilarious. I remember one video that was showcasing unarmed combat attacks (don't know if it was a mod or the vanilla game) where somebody in Whiterun says something annoying and the player suplexes them into the cobblestone, but they just get up and walk away.

But I didn't go looking for a killable children mod. Fallout 3's DLC took it a step farther too, there's a kid in Mothership Zeta who not only can't be killed, they can't be targeted in VATS, doesn't take health damage from any source, and simply does not even react to being shot or stabbed. Even blood decals don't appear on the little bastard, like it has no collision.

A group of modders spent the last 9 years turning Goldeneye 64 into Goldfinger 64, completely replacing the campaign, maps, music, character models, and weapons. It will run on a real N64 too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxVpEuTxXlQ

Vanilla, but mods can add more animations or make them more frequent. Suplexes (and more unarmed kill-cam moves) is one of the things Bethesda added to Skyrim in a regular patch.

It's okay that the soundtrack is an after-effect, but I really hope those motion lines are part of the mod and not just the video.

The Kins posted:Doom: The Indie Game Ha ha, I actually made a video on those mods, too (though I didn't use PC Speaker Simulation or 8-bit blood mods). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9gdAimFZnk Term's video showcases everything a lot better, though. I think the mistake I made was how I had GZDoom (as the Low-Res Doom textures came out really blurry), and some of the clips I used were pretty short.
