what about the kids?

[kacation_man]

I just played HL2 over agian and decided to talk to the crazy chick that you see when you first go back to City 17. I kept talking to her, or makeing her talk-what ever. Any way she kept say'n dumb stuff, i especially like the one when she says: "Some times i dream about cheese" but then one got my attention. She said " Im glad there are not kids around to see this." and i though ... where are all the kids, i know i didnt spend much time in City 17 at the begining of the game but you'd think i would have seen at leats one! The combine must be keeping them some where... what happen to all the kids?

Remember the supression field? Yeah, pretty much kills reproduction...and pretty much all of the kids have grown up in the past ten years since Black Mesa (A'la Alyx), perhaps with the younger ones perishing or whatnot. In any case, not many are around.

^What Inner said. But...what about infants still alive at the time the field was turned on? Perhaps they were killed by the Combine....

Yeah. Or it's just too hard to keep an infant baby alive with food rations and poisoned water, constant beatings and kidnappings and mandatory transfers with splitting of families.

Will Somebody Pleaaaase Think Of The Children!!???

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

HL2 is 10 years after the incident, the youngest person possible would then be 10 years of age, so you should be able to see some children around, unless they've been removed in part because of the story, which I doubt.

When was the last game you played that portrayed violence and kids (excl. FEAR) ?

They were removed, i think in the stolen version, well definately in raising the bar theres a bit about a childrens factory where they took all the children away to work in these sweatshop like conditions. I've seen the picture in raising the bar as a real map in action somewhere too, somewhere dodgy though. It was all taken out for ethical reasons. Imagine kid ragdolls in garrys mod? People would do some awful things, so its for the best without kids i think.

A game with awesome graphics with

Kids + Guns= Gun fire at kid= Dead kid= Will take heavy critic and maybe even be banned in some countries.

I mean...common...if you take the shotgun in hl2 and shot an 8 year old with his, his ragdoll flying and blood allover...the game is less likely to pass. Plus all those anti-gamers will pierce it and throw it to hell...

 

[Rizzo]

well you cant kill Friendly npc... So some kids in scripted scens, where no harm could come. And max payne had an infant being shoot. And max payne rules btw.

 

[piibii]

Deus Ex also had couple of child characters and they could get killed too. Still, I don't remember hearing any complaints about that.

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

They were going to have a chile factory. Got cut, obviously. But it made it to Beta.

You missed it then in the beginning, if you listen to Breen's speech on the TV while in the trainstation, you hear the explanation of human breeding being supressed by some field by the combine.

The Combine built Supression Devices (that basicaly kept people from having sex therefore reproducing), some of the adults now on HL2 where children at the time of the Seven Hour War. The Combine had slowly drained the resources of the planet therefore making human survival a chalenge, the kids couldn´t stand that chalenge and perished.

I still belive in the Child factorys. Just becouse you dont see them doesnt mean they arnt there. We realy didnt see much in Half life 2.

 

[hool10]

I can picture a future episode of HL in which Gordon liberates child factory workers. Just imagine, "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". :naughty:
