That said, Carrying around barrels of oil is just stupid. The reason this game is so much better then Divinity is its not all cartoony and kid like, it tries to keep a base in a real universe, something that people can imagine and believe they are there.
Once you get into extreme cartoon land you lose that feeling. All the back and forth extreme examples tossed on one side or the other, aside, all the OP is saying is can we keep this game grounded and not "lose" it in extreme fantasy and bugs bunny cartoon stuff.
Agreed. I know this medieval fantasy and not medieval realism but the oil makes the game seem too modern. Medieval people didn't have that much use for mineral oil -- organic oils burned cleaner, natural fats congealed in way that made them useful . . .
I know I would rather be walking around in chainmail doused with flax seed oil instead of Mobil 10-30
A bunch of oil barrels with no purpose except as explosion fodder makes the game seem cartoonish.
