Will we be able to have npc children?

I was wondering if there would be in-game marriage and possibly having children with another player?

In game marriage - Yes (regardless of gender)
NPC Children - Nothing has been said but I seriously doubt it...

This was discussed back on the old forums and in a game with actionable emotes leads to all sorts of bad behavior. All Intrepid needs is a bad video out their circulating to go viral and the fun train stops. Since they have said they want to go for T rating vs M not likely to see child npcs. People will do stupid shit, just to do stupid shit. I know that this is a mod, but here is just one of many examples that caused the Xtian right wing "Them video games is to blame for my kid being a vicious psychopath!" to lose their shit and call for legislation.

Its a shame that some people have to ruin things for other people by being stupid.

SWTOR had a /weld emote that had people take a knee, reach out with both hands at waist level, and bob their head up and down while they actioned it out. After people got creative with putting their crotches at the right point and making videos of simulated oral they had to remove it. Developers give you the shinies, then people pervert their intent. Happens in every game. ERP Goldshire anyone?

At least one of my characters would have so many illegitimate kids running about. I bet I could spawn enough to reach at least 10% of a local population easy.

Might see children in the city, but to have your own child.. I don't think so.
Just have to stick with treating your pets as your children.

Sad but true. I honestly don't understand why some people think that sort of thing is funny or "cool". "look at this guys, it looks like I'm having sex in a video game, hur hur hur"

sigh.....

They mentioned NPC children in one of the live streams. Their stance was that it wasn't really feasible, and it would stretch into grey areas such as having orphans left over after a siege.

Kids are having trouble with their hormones at age 14-18. They aren't harming anyone when doing those things but it has some negative effects on the rest of the community with these vids.
I'm not saying it's okay but I can understand why they do it because I've done stupid things like that when I was young. (and that makes me cringe now)

Well is the player can adopt a child npc, perhaps put the children in a way that are immune to attacks and other stuff? Idk

Would it be cliche of me to blame the failing education system on this?

I think the lore is children are kept on the other side of the divine gates for safety, so you'd have babies then they'd be taken to a boarding school in your races safe space literally! =p

Yeah - supposedly everyone returning to Verra through the portal is the best of the best heroes.

If you have children, wouldn't it be highly irresponsible to go out adventuring and raiding? You'll have to stay home and raise goats... which I guess you could do... heh

I’d honestly rather see AoC be M just so the audience stays a somewhat mature. It certainly doesn’t need nudity and such built in, but I don’t see why we should have to restrict the flexibility of emotes and more sensitive content to cater to the “family friendly” expectation of a T rating.

That being said, I definitely don’t wanna see that many kids running around.

hahahahahahaha oh my, do you really think that having an M rating on a game is going to stop children from playing it? Also I'd like to point out that just because someone is an "adult" doesn't mean they are mature.

? Of course it won’t stop minors from playing, but it will allow IS to include more robust emotes and delve into more complex, possibly darker themes without a scandal about “potential inappropriate emoting” in a T rated game

Ok but....why? Would adding in "more robust emotes" and putting in darker themes improve the game at all?

It's nice to have some darker plots here and there, especially for clerics dedicated to evil gods.

I never said they would have to get into anything nitty gritty, but they’d have the option to. By more robust emotes, I mean they could create emotes without having to give any thought about getting flak for allowing a push-up emote while near someone laying down, or a fanciful whirling dance around any vertical object.

The T rating may end up being restrictive over juvenile issues. It might be that things get removed just because someone could put it in an inappriate context.
