It seems you're pondering the reasons behind certain design choices in games. There might be practical, ethical, or legal factors at play. Consider how developers balance content with audience expectations and regulations.
There exist games that portray violence toward children. Upon reviewing the content, you'll see how the title was removed from multiple platforms and sparked significant debate. Despite this, it's worth mentioning that in Fallout 2 you could kill children and earn a child killer perk, which led to being pursued by bounty hunters thereafter. Updated editions no longer permit harming or killing minors... ~note: The European version of Fallout 2 also had this change applied.
Noted. I understand you're highlighting this point. It seems Fallout 2 carries a PEGI 16+ rating, but the guidelines suggest it aligns more with 18+ due to the violent content, especially the depiction of child murder. The inclusion of such themes likely pushed it toward an 18+ classification.
