Realism or Believability.

I personally prefer believability, realism doesn't have a place in certain genres like DnD but that doesn't stop other such fantasey worlds from being set up in a believable manner. Realism can actually limit your creativity because something sounds too unrealistic to implement, realism is the reason games are obsessed with real = grey and brown these days.

i like belivability.

im not to fond of games like rainbow six. while i have fun playing them i end up getting more mad then enjoying myself

I tend to see fantasy as having a bit of realism in them

That could be believability though.

Realism is part of or a means to create believablility. or as long as it's believable, it's a work of realism. Middle Earth, the realms, and Star Wars universe, though fantasy, are belivable, they're all works of realism.

the only extreme "realism" I can think of in terms of "gaming" are genuine sims: flight sim and combat sim. In combat sim, "real" combat, there's no place for blood pack or regnerating health. got shot, you die or hurt to the point you cannot fight anyway. anything with health potion in gaming is in the realm of believablility (artistic realism, not simulating reality).

believability.

between the two options, it's the only one that's truly limitless.

Realism. Realism can instantly make games better (like STALKER).GodLovesDead
