Yeah, the children one is pretty strange, there being none is odd. I mean running around choking/assassinating them would be extremely strange, but they could easily do what Skyrim/Fallout did, in that, you can't hurt/maim children.

It's especially odd because there's a lot of journals which talk about children (I recall reading one describing a child seeing Daud at an Outsider's shrine) and the mysterious boy in The Tales from Dunwall etc.

There could've been a interesting street urchin theme running through Dishonored, that'd been pretty cool.
