Fallout co-creator Tim Cain says players who complain about a lack of realism are actually looking for consistency most of the time.
If you've spent any amount of time within the gaming sphere, you'll know that a common complaint is a lack of realism in games; even when it's a game like Assassin's Creed Shadows or God of War Ragnarok where realism really isn't a part of the design philosophy in the first place. And while in some cases it's used as a blanket term to complain about other aspects of a game people don't think should be there, Cain reckons the arguments for realism aren't really about that at all.
