That's the thing with everyone's mentality "just download a mod."
Mods don't fix developers. From a developing standpoint these developers are just trying to please everyone without trying to offend, this is actually more harmful to the gaming industry. Creative freedom and choice is going down the toilet.
Complaining about something on a forum in which almost nobody wants to hear you doesn't fix developers either.
Please stop treating this forum like a direct hotline to Bethesda.
Also, are you seriously saying that Bethesda is a broken developer that is single-handedly destroying the concepts of creative freedom and choice and harming the games industry because they made games in which you can't rape or kill children?
I really don't see how they're actively trying to not offened anyone by exluding those. They simply don't have a good enough reason to put it in the game.
I'm still baffled as to why you expect hardcore survival realism from fallout 4.
It's a shooter-RPG. It's not supposed to be realistic. It's supposed to be fun.
Are you living under a rock within this current century?
Children are even being used as Self Delete bombers because no one expects it.
"I CAN'T HURT A Self Delete BOMBING CHILD!"
That's not an example.
Saying "you've been living under a rock if you don't know, happens all the time" isn't an example.
As a video game then you shouldn't object to the possibility of children dying because it's a video game. It's just a bunch of pixels, who cares if children die in a video game.
Thank you for proving my point.
The ESRB cares, and it's nowadays hard to get a game in which you can kill children past them without an adult rating.
It's not really worth the trouble, and it's not like its an active problem destroying creativity, free choice, and the games industry if it doesn't include it.
