Well you know, a well thrown spear could potentially take down a low flying fighter jet if you think about it, if it gets into the air inlet :D which reminds me, I still have to watch the new SW trailer.

And fantasy heroes have extraordinary strength compared to the average soldier or knight, that's why they can easily use a heavy longsword with just one hand!

Or posh Edin-scummers - same in films too!

well...

Well, the inverse is also true. It is not uncommon for an RPG character to be lugging around four sets of plate mail, three staffs, five swords of various kinds, two flails, two maces, twenty-five healing potions and around twenty thousand gold coins. And all without impeding his or her movement noticeably.

And don't get me started on all the rats, wolves, bears, etc. that apparently somehow carry around weapons, armor, jewelry and gold coins for lucky adventurers to find upon killing them.

However, a completely realistic RPG would probably be quite boring to play, at least for most people.

To be fair, in games you tend to take on the role of the most highly trained / legendary / super-human dude ever who has more expertise in such actions than anybody else out there - I guess it's absolutely legitimate within the boundaries of the games' conventions / universes.

Still, my two favourite stealth franchises are Hitman and Metal Gear Solid and in both of them evading rather than disposing of enemies is highly encouraged and usually much easier than stealth kills / KOs.

this *thing* (Moscow) made me laugh;THX!

That's the kind of stuff I'm really looking for! Very nice catch! :D

Ever heard of Deadly Premonition?, please explain the plot or it's logic without having your head implode from the inside out
The stamina bar and well All the bars in the game make sense

Not saying that it doesn't play a part but the way the scene looked in the game they clearly implied that mushrooms "feed" on light the way plants do, IMO (and please don't be nitpicky about the way I used the word "feed" here :P).

But as tremere110 pointed out, apparently the scene came out very differently in the English translation than the original Japanese version. If he's correct about the way the Japanese dialogue handled the situation I probably wouldn't have complained. :P
Lol, thanks for that input. And I'm shocked that you actually remember that moment in such detail.
I've tried turning this into a joke about heavy metal music but I just can't.

How can something implode inside out? Or is that a joke that's meant to further illustrate the absurdity of the game? :D

I don't think they have any expectations of what food should be available in a fantasy setting. Maybe I should start them on that, then later on I'll get complaints on the lack of french fries in Lord of the Rings.

That would explain why some mushrooms grow larger than others. ;-)

It is to prevent you from sacrificing them. :P
