Seriously, there's the child in the demo, the little girl in the trailer and now there's another child escaping with its mother in the extended trailer. though that one gets to survive. At this rate, I'm fully expecting to see the destroyed earth populated only by children. Children suffering from terminal illness in an orphanage. And when you get there, the side quests will involve crying children asking you to rescue their lost puppies from the reapers. Said puppies will be flayed alive just as you reach them, so they can ram down your throat just how high the stakes are. It's intellectual and emotional laziness and I expected better from Bioware.

Something like 13% of the country is under age 15. Given the number of adults we see running around, I actually think they'd need to throw in more kids to get the stats right. Why so unrealistic, Bioware?

Children! Children everywhere!

The games should have had children in them from the beginning... and yes, some of those children should have died.

Some of those children should have "grown up" in the short span of time between ME 1 and 3 (what is it - three years? Take a kid from bratty 14 to a little more mature 17... I'm thinking as an Alliance soldier)

It's pandering that only healthy - violent adults get killed in these games. When in reality - it's quite often the weak and innocent that are collateral damage, but gamers aren't likely mature enough to deal with concepts like that.... always crying about "escapism".

Whatever... kids are a story element - good for Bioware for adding a little variety to their games.

Yeah i agree, seeing as i hate the little sh*ts and the reapers seem to be doing a good job of getting rid of the snotty nosed little brats i might try to side with the reapers in my playthrough.

Because it's sad. Why aren't you sad? Are you some sort of monster?

Yes, I am some kind of monster. Actually, I just don't respond very well to blatant, shallow attempts at emotional manipulation.

What if I struck a pose while the sun rose over my shoulder? Would you then agree with my point?

Nah, I'd say you're more of a very good example of a modern day unsympathetic dolt. And we all know those end up in the less refined of nursing homes.

It's Earth. Where theirs kids in every country, every city, every town. Kids exist, you know?

Apparently there's only children on earth. 1 per city!

And none nowhere else in the galaxy. The genophage appears to have mutated.

After the DA2 demo ending (Busty pirate offering herself to you) I find nothing Biowaare does surprising.

@Taleroth: If you just saw kids dying in the blasty lasers of the Reapers you would have less problem with it I imagine? It's the focus on the children that you seem agitated about yes?

@Mr. Parker: Which one is your LI? I'll get a nice - non-shallow emotional response out of you.

[Gabey5]

in case some people missed it it is supposed to tell us the reapers are bad, all they have to do now is kidnap the president's daughter

[JRCHOharry]

I remember a wonderful time when the BSN complained that there were no children shown in Mass Effect. Those were good times, happy times. I want to go back to those days.

I'm not agitated. I'm snarky. Which is pretty much my default mode of interaction.

If they'd done something that made it less transparent that the only reason they created a child model to begin with was to kill it, that'd have been better. If kids had been all over ME1 and ME2. If they'd been characters to have dialogues with. It stands out as awkward to introduce something only to kill it off.

Basically, the child is Jenkins. Trask. And the other numerous other NPCs Bioware kills in the first mission. But this time it's a child and not a group member. They changed the formula and it seems they're doing it to finally get that emotion they've failed to get for about a decade now.

They're trying their hardest. I almost pity them.

Those children are freakish looking, their eyes are too big or something...Plus they're the only 2 children in existence in the whole of the known universe and now they're dead. And that lady beetle too. I think it's supposed to reinforce the horror of war and what Shepard's fighting for, a future, mankind and warm fuzzy feelings...oh well.

And that hit the nail on the head, why do people feel the need to complain over every little thing?

Actually, theirs a third one now in the extended CGI trailer, who gets saved by awesome BritishSniper guy.
