I think you mean outhouses. They didn't have toilets in medieval times, which is the sort of environment that the Elder Scrolls takes place in.

Oblivion is not in the Medieval Times (Or Middle Ages, rather), or even greater, Tamriel.

To begin with, think about it. Does Morrowind really imply the Middle Ages? It doesn't imply anything. It implies fantasy.

In the Middle Ages were there Steam Powered Machines? (If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about take a trip to Morrowind)

Also, from Redguard, there were cannons. Cannons.

Cannons weren't in full practical use until the 15th century, which was right after the Middle Ages.

Once again, if you're going to protest:

Morrowind was not during a time of war. So no cannons were needed, or placed.
Oblivion, though in a time of war, the Imperial Legion was greatly off in other portions of the world. Presumably taking the canons. And if you're going to protest this, the Imperial Legion we see are greatly Guards. We rarely see soldiers. Small bands of them, which would indicate that they won't have cannons.

Also, read Disaster at Ionith, cannons.

Once more, the Middle Ages were not controlled by a central power. In Tamriel, the Imperial Legion acts as an allegory to the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire by the Middle Ages, as wall but a memory.

/rant :p

Also, let the kids in. It's Bethesda choice if we can kill 'em or not. I'd just get a mod that enables me to do so if they do, if they don't yay.
