The killing kids in Fallout 1 and 2 is complicated. Because I think the edgiest people do it for a joke.
But I remember one time when I was playing the game when I was probably too young for it, I had a random encounter with Raiders attacking farmers. I swooped into rescue the farmers and as we moped up, one of my companions let burst with an SMG, missed a raider and killed a child instantly. Then the enraged farmers, men and women, turned and starting attacking us with their fists, and my other companions started gunning them down, as I genuinely panicked. In a cold sweat I looked over their dead bodies and reloaded my save.
And like I still remember that now, as a powerful random moment in a videogame.
