No I'm not sick.
I was making the point that breaking away from convention would make the game more interesting.
You may disagree as to my example, and I happily accept that. But let's not forget that young men/ women have been dying as combattants in wars for centuries.
It might just be a North American perspective (I don't know where you hail from) but in the worst of human conflicts children have fought, the Battle for Leningrad, The trenches of world war 1, African conflicts, not only muscle bound professional soldiers.
You do know that the use of children as soldiers is banned through U.N and certain countries will ban a movie/game if it depicts violence against children?
While it is happening in the real world sadly enough, it is not alright to depict it in games. Germany f.example. would instantly ban the game, and several major NGOs would immediately critizise BW generating tonnes of bad publicity.
And besides just because it happens in real life you don't go depict pedophilia in games, or rape for that matter.
I agree with your views, and upon consideration I see you have made a good case for them. I certainly wouldn't want to see that latter point in any game, nor would it reach the shelves.
perhaps I could widen my point to express my desire to see some gritty realism in games, ME3 is going to be an 18 rated game (UK) so it is for adults, not children. I feel that mature issues like children caught up in conflict is something that could justifiably be addressed in such a title.
I retract my first point regarding a child becoming a part of the team, I see now why legally that is a no no.
Any good game leaves the player/ user with a sense of something bigger, a questions of morals: sacrifice a few to save a million.
I hope ME3 meets my expectations.
