Why aren't there any families or children NPCs?

Or you know, they could teleport away like every other humanoid NPC does?

 

Thanks for the chuckle! Or are you being serious that immersion doesn't help a game?

....

Now I'm confused!!

 

While I think children and families would be fun to add (especially in a Minecraft Comes Alive sort of way), I don't think they'd help much with immersion in a game where an NPC will ask you to deliver a note about smelling poptops to another NPC standing right next to them, and then six different people ask you to rescue six different friends who just happened to wander into the same sewer and get lost.

 

One step at a time... Yeah, the side quests given by the colonists should be more complex and make sense... But I would be happy with children for now. ^^

 

Wait, maybe... maybe we already have children in-game! What if everybody in the game is a child and that's why the quests they give you are so stupid?
