I just thought about this today. There are NO children anywhere to be seen on any of the planets of Mass Effect. In fact the only mention of children is the couple in the Financial District on the Citadel, and Liara's explanation of her childhood.
Talk about ominous!

Anyway why aren't there any children in the game, at least why not on the Citadel. There's no way of killing the people on the Citadel so you couldn't harm them.

It's Children of Men all over again, except it's way far into the future.

That's what they want you to think. There are also no old people, and a great number of species have no female members.
The young to middle-aged men have taken over and everyone else is good only for slave labour.

Slave labor lol. Maybe all the kids were just in school.

Welcome!
I think the real reason why we don't see kids in the ME games is due to the developers fear of having kids in unorthodox situations that mighyt landed them in the hot water again.
you know censorship crap...

Yeah, not many people are understanding in the real world, if something goes a bit over the line, some controversies dicks just step and start bitching in public.
So yeah, if some child is got caught up in some voilance act, they'll be up in arms with pitchforks and touches quickly...

There are kids all over Fallout 3, and I think you can kill 'em too. Some of them are asking for it.

You can't kill them, but you can sell them into slavery, though!

It's a shame, really. You could kill bratty little devil children in Fallout 2 (there weren't any children in the original Fallout), but every time you squeeze off a shot at one of them, they don't even get hurt. Bogus, man.
