LE Diverse Children of Skyrim

[Manjarowolf]

Hey Everyone!

 

Anyone else ever get tired of the fact that all the kids you run into are nords, redguards, imperial or bretons?

Where's the variety? Where's the diversity? Where's the BBQ Sauce for your french fries when you need it?!?!

This ever happen to you?:

(Dramatization)

Braith: "I'm not afraid of you! Eat my Shorts!"

Me: "Why you little!" *Strangles her*

Guards: "Stop! Stop that this instant!"

Me:*let's her go* "You got away with your life this time you little bastard"

Braith: "Whatever Spazz!" *Runs*

Guard: Ok, keep it moving. No lollygagging."

Me: "Aaaaaarrrrgghhh" *storms off mad*.... "It's bad enough that their metabolism makes them

border line super-heroes. I can't even scratch her. bet she wouldn't be so tough, if there were more

kids here to pick on HER for me. Especially some Khajiit ki- !!..... Hmmmm..... Yes, What if

there WERE more children, I bet that little a**hole wouldn't f*** with that kid if he had Argonian bros

to hand with. Yeah she would be so tough then would she..."

*Insert Diabolical Laughter here*

 

 

And that's how the thought came to me. (We'll not exactly) What If we could not only spawn more NPC Children

(A good number to each town and random locations i.e. Whiterun is an average-sized town so

about 10- 20 kids) plus make most of those newer NPC Children other races like Khajiit cubs or

Argonian kin. It could work hand-in-hand with the playable child race if you wanted (I still never got

that one. seems so odd to be like 10 going to town to town fighting things. Strange... anywho). But

That would be a great mod for Skyrim! Then everytime you walk into Whiterun, you don't have to see the same

5 obnoxious brats: YOU HAVE 20 OBNOXIOUS BRATS! And half of them are cats and lizards

*Insert mushy sound here*

I, for one, would definately love to do the mission for the Orphan Aventus and know that instead of this:

 

(Original)

Aventus: She's an evil old witch and she makes me and my friends life a living hell

Me: I think you over reaching kid. Orphanages are good places for kids who need a home. I'm sure she's just

tough on you guys because she just wants you to succeed in life. Trust me!" =)

*goes to the orphanage*

Grindal the Kind:"You little shits are all worthless feeble mistakes that if abortion existed this time period, your

parents wouldn't have taken a second guess to dismiss you failed agendas from this world. I beileve they killed

themselves because of all you and disguised to the guards to make it look like murder. The world wouldn't stop

for two seconds if any of you died."

Me:......... *soul flushes itself into oblivion* By the nines.... That mad ME feel like s***. And I'm AWESOME. Oh,

you are SO dead...

 

it turns into this:

 

Aventus: She's an evil old witch and she makes me and my friends life a living hell

Me: I think you over reaching kid. Orphanages are good places for kids who need a home. I'm sure she's just

tough on you guys because she just wants you to succeed in life. Trust me!" =)

*goes to the orphanage*

Grindal the Kind:"You little shits are all worthless feeble mistakes that if abortion existed this time period, your

parents wouldn't have taken a second guess to dismiss you failed agendas from this world. I beileve they killed

themselves because of all you and disguised to the guards to make it look like murder. The world wouldn't stop

for two seconds if any of you died."

Me: "no body messes with the cat and lizard kids! *lunges at old lady and commences to stab her repeatedly*

 

Before I go into that separate tale of blood and old wenches, What say ye all? Can thou maketh kin of all races,

and let them roameth free amonst the lands of Skyrim?

 

please heed my call.

 

Thanks guy,

Wolfie

Seeing as Khajiit aren't really allowed in the cities and are only outside(Aside from if you're one), that explains that. I don't think the merchants would be traveling around with children in tow, either, just common sense. Seeing as Argonians aren't as shunned in some places, there's a reason you might see a child or two. But there aren't really a lot of argonian couples, except that one in riften, but they don't really start out that way... Not trying to dissuade work from being done, it'd be great to see more diverse NPC's in general, just saying I thought about it for a while and as is, it doesn't make so much sense to me anymore.

I like this idea. It's a SERIOUS flaw in the game, IMHO.

 

They even have baby spiders and baby ... uh... whatever those things are--chalkrauses or choco-sauruses or whatever. Who cares. They have 'em.

 

Even on the "white kids" (nord, breton, etc.), they basically have ONE age. There appear to be no teens, lol.

 

So... overall... I see this as a request to have a wider variety of ages (and sizes/heights!) of people in the game. That would be dope.

 

Want to get fancy? Ok. Pitch-shift (SLIGHLTY) people's vocals + time shift them (again, slightly).. depending on their age. Gives a slight extra level of immersion (as long as no one went OVERboard and pitch-shifted HUGE, like a moron)... :)

Wouldn't work for Khajit though, they grow up into all different kinds fo creatures . . .for some reason.

[davekmoody]

More children would be welcome from my side. I agree with Enthusiast tho that this kind of mod would better stay inside the lore. So give children to races that in fact live inside those cities. So khajit will be out in fact. But there's more: Some dark elven kids in Windhelm, some Argonians in Riften etc. would still be possible. Plus there's orcs, high elven etc. I can't remember whether there exist couples at any of the cities tho.

 

cheers

[huntsman2310]

Yeah it could work. All Khaajit look the same physically and shape wise as children.

 

Its only when puberty hits that they literally spaz out into different forms.

[Manjarowolf]

Truthfully so, yes. there aren't many Khajiits around or many in the cities or in relationships. Yes, more than 75%of them that are in Skyrim are either roaming the land, in bandit group, trying to mug you, or are house slaves, but they still had come from somewhere people. You don't just have adult immigrants without at least a good number of children with them. but then again there aren't many married playing in Riften(despite there being a marriage service there) and yet there are orphans, with suggest that obviously you don't have to KEEP a relation to have kids. Sure there wouldn't be too many Khajiit kids running everywhere, but it's the idea of have kids of all races, regardless of how often their race in total is seen in Skyrim. don't see too many Argonians in Solitude, and yet there they still exist(Even if you kill off the only ones there in a quest). I just think it would make sense. you don't visit a new town or city in real life, and see like 56 adults and only 3 children( seriously: WTF is going on in that town??). Especially if those three kids were all the same race. Anywho, just throwing Idea out there, guys. Hopefully one of you can make this a reality.

This idea was already discussed several times - for Oblivion, and for Morrowind too.

 

On the technical side

not any problem create children as a new race - the models are an ordinary / usual body, or combination male / female body, and small adjustments to skeleton.nif - slightly bigger head, "childrens" proportions of the body and limbs.

A little work might be the correct texture of the body, but it's not complex with (good basis can are Roberts bodies).

A little more work could be the alteration of clothing, especially for girls.

 

Problems are more in the "ethical plane" of such plugins.

So hard, that virtually all such plugins were gradually erased over time. :down:

I want to see Orcs kids in their fortress, bring life Skyrim

[snipatomic]

I love this idea, especially pertaining to the Orcs.

Even if all children were made to be one age (like now), diversity in children would give so much more life to Skyrim. Perhaps you could have a child with your wife and take him on *safe* adventures...
