Children? They're there. Will we be able to punish them with a minigun for not doing their homework? I'm afraid not. The developers gracefully evaded the questions about child-killing asked by a more insistent journalist. They answered with a question "...do you really want to be able to kill children?". In an official setting (where each and everyone is an undercover psychiatrist), you can only scream from the top of your lungs "Yes, I do!", so the discussion became a little uncomfortable and moved to safer waters. Like with what little cannons you can't kill the poor children with.
I say this is the biggest hit against Fallout so far. Everything else I could somehow stomach without much hassle, you could even say I was rather optimistic. What pisses me off the most is the retardet manner in which he responds the journalist.
Yes, douchebag, I really want to be able to kill children!
