Gaming

I don't think you're allowed to kill the children in Skyrim. But if that's your kind of thing there is a mod that will let you murder the little ones.
But I don't have that installed.

All of which reminds me of a post I saw on Reddit where someone had managed to kill every character and living creature in the game. Totally not a psychopath.

I think I will eventually adopt some of those kids but not until I've sorted out the interior of my buildy house, which is where they'll end up. It may look nice on the outside with its Alchemy Tower but the inside is still enough of a mess that any orphan would probably prefer begging on the streets.
Plus if I start bringing kids home I should really get married first.
I do have the necessary amulet but the exploring adventurer's life is too appealing.

(themselves included?)

An adventure game where you get married and settle down???

I think you could get married in Fable too although it was slightly more gimmicky in that game.

I used to love playing Farmville 2, with the animals and crops and I didn't mind the cooking and crafting, but when they added a family to the game (even though marriage was optional) I just left. I wanted to play farm, not family.

I don't believe that child abduction is any less illegal when married.

I got away with the chicken thing so I can get away with abduction too.

Saw the kid again looking very sad as she sat listening to Heimskr. You have to be desperate to listen to all his long-winded nonsense.
"And there it is, friends..."

I was thinking... I may not have any interiors set up in the house I'm building but I could put her in Breezehome if I switch out the Alchemy Lab there for a kid's room. I do all my alchemy at the Riverside Lodge anyway. And at Breezehome Lydia could look after her (she needs something to do) and there's the dog and cat to play with as well.
The only worry is how safe it'd be there with the looming threat of war but hopefully my other house would be a bit more finished by then.

I'm glad I'm not the only one taking the needs and wishes of imaginary people very seriously.

and Heimskr sounds like ancient Norse for Awful.

I probably do that far too much.

And did my clumsy fat finger add those stars to the thread?
Didn't notice them before.
*clicks on newly visible stars*
Yep, it was me.

*isn't seeing any stars*

Oh! Now I see them! THOSE stars! Yup added by one user
