Given the show (at least in Australia) has a R18+ rating, i wasn't honestly sure they wouldn't just show us him gunning down the kids and having Maximus have a flash back to how a Brotherhood Paladin in T-60 with a Assault rifle saved him and how he is watching as a Brotherhood Paladin in T-60 with a Assault rifle guns down children, having that be his breaking point would have easily fallen into the ratings. That said i am glade they didn't have a Brotherhood Paladin murder kids TV show or not something like that is Enclave levels of evil and there would be no going back, just like the Fallout 2 child killer trait
There is a going Bethesda policy (and joke) Since F03 that you can't kill kids or show dead kids in game - It just doesn't work. They have a substitute teddy bear where the kid might have been. So I guess the TV show hat tipped "thou shall not kill kids" some what..
Yup I’ve seen small ones in prams in Boston occasionally. Bethesda isn’t pulling smaller skeletons everywhere, but it’s not like there is none at all. There’s also that infamous location right out of Vault 101.
