RE: I'm Sorry Fantasy Lovers... - Marburg - 11-28-2014
I can nutshell all this very easally: Fantasy has no relation to reality, so if the fantasy geeks want to shirk realism, that's their problem. If you're one of those that get a bit irked that there's not enough reality injected into your fantasy, then you're wasting your time spinning your wheels at the base of the wrong tree. Your opinion will always be irrelevant to them
Let 'em have their loopy fantasies. that's simply their thing. ...It's not like trying to inject realism into fantasy makes anyone seem any smarter or cooler, it just makes the geeky of any stripe appear that much more geekier
Simply live & let live, bitches.

Seems some people do )))
Or you can just live in your magical fantasy with disgusting weaponry that can hurt yourself ))
My preference is I would rather have sexy awesome looking weapons that make sense.

Fantastic elements of a fantasy are usually only an addition to realism, rather than a substitution. After all, even despite the weirdest spells and creatures, you still experience real physics, individual behavior, decision-making, etc. in most of them, don't you?

Sometimes. But it's not a given. A game that distances itself from that isn't necessarily good or bad. It just boils down to whether it's down your alley or not.

Fantasy still needs some physics to work.
Even if you mold some physics, there are some that just can't be avoided.
And when you add the concept of gravity then you cant change other physics so easy.
Plus, for super magical strength, it is much more efficient for them to have a lighter weapon.

nobody cares
let the kiddies roll about in their fantasies consisting of scantily clad catgirls wielding larger than life weapons
how does this relate to us in any manner

The word fantasy itself implies a certain dissociation from 'reality'. We don't invent fantastical worlds so we can relive our real groundhog day lives for the most part. And apart from that common factor, fantasy can be...anything, really. Have fun with it.
