I think this isn't a bad idea, as long as it can be like sims with this one perhaps? Maybe allow kin to follow along with you, if they die, they die. I mean, if it were to mimic reality in world we can control and interact with, we should be allowed to be as open in the world as it is to us. So maybe wooing a woman or man NPC, it would of course take a little time, but it can be something do-able. As far as kids, I agree with the comments above, "DLIMIT", kids should sustain being left within the dwelling if one is available. I really like this idea, I mean if it doesn't happen, that's fine, but something worthy of considering. I can't wait to see what this world is like.
