I know there weren't any Dunmer children in Morrowind, but maybe it could be a cool addition to Skywind. Plus it could draw people in. I always see people in Skyrim forums begging for Dunmer children.

Dark Elf Children
Who wants to voice a prepubescent Dark Elf?
It's not like children ever say important things anyway. They can just use the default child voice. I've actually had Dark Elf children in my game for a while and they use the child voices.
I'm not sure it's a good idea but in terms of voicing I think I might be able to try a high pitched dunmer girl child.
But uhh yeah, maybe not. Not sure really!
I think it's a good idea. It never ocurred to me that there were only nord children running around skyrim.
Aren't most of the people on this site prepubescent? Calling all gamers, any volunteers to lend your voices please?
I actually think some children would be pretty good immersion...this time round however the children are not safe from hack and slash of a man or women gone wild...and we can give children voices a skip, unless somebody gets their baby bro or sis to lend a few lines.
There are nord, redguard and bretons in Skyrim. They don't even need to be given voices though. They can just use the default children's voice
screw all the other kids! only dunmer in skywind!
I like how the Dunmer children have floppier ears than adults xD like puppies
Well, little kid's ears are never to proportion to their face anyway.
lol I gave horns to my Xivilai character's kids.
We should give the dunmer kids morrowind-style dunmer voices. It'll sound like they've been chain-smoking since they were born.
Ginger Dunmers.....NOOOOooooo
Dunmer can't be gingers. I'm pretty sure I met Jiub's soul in Soul Cairn in Dawnguard.
had a go at opening the mod in the creation kit, wanted to see about removing the dependency on apachi hair and working out which resources altogether it uses from the drow race mod, but it crashes and was unable to open. To any of you that have successfully modified this mod, what did you do?
I MAY be able to get my 11-year-old sister to VA, if you'd like her to try out.
What Dunmer kid mod are you using, or did you craft it yourself? It looks pretty good!
their skin has no texture it's completely smooth. it looks ridiculous and completely irrelevant. i say heeeeeeeeell naw.
Well most people on this thread seem to like them except LASentry. Looks like they're going to have to be scrapped.
But to be serious, ill eventually get around to retexturing the faces
GendunDrup: Are you using a public mod, or are the dunmer children your own making / not available?
I'm assuming that if you're retexturing them / bringing them up it's you who made them.
More on topic. I love the idea of dunmer / all races children in Skywind, but I feel like that should be a mod and not part of the core package....
But I'm not die hard on that opinion...
They're from this mod
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16399
though a friend and I were the first ones to actually make NPCs out of the children race included in the mod. They were adoptable too. My friend also retextured them to make Altmer children too
well as long as they don't look like some japanese elves that's fine. they should also have proper voices and not those stupid vanilla skyrim children's voices.
And please don't give them annoying lines like: "Remember, I like my meat rare" heehee

There also is an old people race, am I right?
Thanks GendunDrup!
My buddy Shadowxdrago was a huge Drizzt' Do Urden fan, so a drow race may get him really excited. :D
I totally think we could use default voices for kids, especially at the start, but if we can find voices that really, genuinely fit, then we should add them. The trick would be finding that quality of voice acting that matches dunmer children....

id guess something young and arrogant sounding. if you guys want children from the other elven races besides orcs, those could be provided too.
Stijmunkey: Hah, yeah I read the hafling's gem and Drizzt is pretty much the boss of bosses, lol. :D
GendunDrup: Yeah, arrogant is a good call. It'd be hard to pull of young and yet gravely, but arrogant could work. :)
first thing I'd suggest - would be making a dunmer child 'mod' that doesn't require the drow mod or the apachi hair mod. i.e. a modders resource dunmer child mod. then it can be used as needed? I'd guess that dunmer children are more important than any of the others though?

All the dunmer in morrowind are pretty altmer tier arrogant anyway. Just use Jarl Balgruf's children has reference.
GendunDrup: Hah, good call. :D
StijMunkey: Daaang! That's a ton; those books are thick and plentiful! I think I found an audio book a while back, I should start listening to those in the car again...
Blindhamsterman: Yeah, that'd be ideal, I'd think. That's what we should aim for.

That's just my friend's mod that requires them. It's not like the meshes and textures won't work without the esp.
well hey im 15 i could try to make a dunmer child voice when i get a mic of course
If we are going to use these then they'd need some drastic reworking, imho. Particularly the ears. Those aren't Dunmer ears. Dunmer ears aren't sharper than a knife and don't stick out a mile from the head. Their faces are wrinkled, not shiny like polished silver, and a greyish blackish colour, not greeny-slate.
isnt putting dunmer children making skywind not like morrowind?
exactly, that's why i completely hate the idea.

these are children. Children's ears do that. Also, nobody is going to give child a wrinkles.

dude, stop commenting on this thread. You're haven't contributed a single constructive thing. It would be fine if you suggested some constructive criticism but just saying "I don't like this" over and over isn't going to do anything.
Really people, how is having Dunmeri children lore-breaking? Hell, I'd bet if they could have, they would have implemented children. Fact is, at that time they had not the time for it. Might not have even been capable of it, considering the time when Morrowind was being developed. Since we aren't bound by a deadline i see no downsides to this idea.
There still needs to be a bit of texture to the skin. They look like they're made of porcelain. I have never seen a child with skin that perfect.
And their ears are a bit too pointed, though I agree that the size makes some sense considering real children.
Yeah the skin needs some work, and the ears a bit too pointy, but other than that, support.
I don't know what it is...
But they almost don't look "Dunmer" enough...
Here, turns out those children's skin looked like that was because of the grey face bug that bethesda is never going to fix.
Honestly, somebody needs to work on the face mesh to make them look like they are from the Dunmer race. At the moment it is just human adolescents, with a blue face. You could make these maybe Altmer or human adolescents.
I'd have to disagree that they should look more like grown up dunmer since the characteristics of dunmer tend to make them all look old.
I find it realistic to think that they get these characteristics with age, like real adult people look nothing like when they were young. Though perhaps at least the area above the brows could be done with normal maps like they look on adult dunmer.
true, maybe slightly thinner faces with the sort of ridges (very vulcan from Star Trek) over the eyebrows as well as slanting the eyebrows themselves would help to massively improve their look in terms of believability. The ears themselves are possibly a bit too pointy it's true, but the angle isn't all that bad for a child as already noted - a human childs ears tend to stick out too.
