Im allways honest.
Sometimes not unnecesarily harsh kind of honest, but i try my best to never lie.
(Except jokes, they dont count since you state it was not a truth right after.)
Do you actually believe that when the characters stow their swords floating on their backs, that that is a literal representation of what's happening? Do you believe that the weapons are literally floating there within the reality of the game? Because I do not.
No i dont ...
Did you get the feeling that i do? O_o
I wonder where it came from, since as far as i know the only (or at least first one, i cant shake the feeling that somebody mentioned it afterwards) person who expressed herself as if she would believe it ... was Niara. O_o
As for Sharet, i didnt quote that example for purpose (again ... was it also with you last time?) since i get the feeling that he simply grabed the last used words to describe his example, rather than believing that this is the litteral representation of Faerun. O_o

Thanks, man! I'm no Niara, but I still try.
^_^
Thanks for clarifying what you meant. I agree that Larian need to balance the needs of different players but I disagree that they can do that by providing 20% to 80% immersion for players who want 100%. Let's leave it at that, especially since it's my subjective opinion.
Im glad somebody understands me.
As for the rest (of the whole post) i cant say much more than:
Exactly ... egg (
) freaking zactly!
Whatever zactly is ... cool name tho, i should write is somewhere ... i presume his favourite food will be eggs.
Let me know if I misunderstood anything.
The problem is that none of those things people are complaining about around here breaks the immersion for me not even once in my 796,5h ... so i ask those people why, or how does it work ... instead they start to explaining me what is immersion, or what does it mean to break it. :-/ im aware, it may come as surprise, but i also played the game.
For me, there are two layers when i "immerge" myself to the virtual space:
There is first layer and that are engine limitations ... ranges, rules, resources, limitations, stuff like that ... things game "allows" me to do ... And that would be burrowing through the time and space.
I burrowed several times to the other side of a chasm to get that lootbox in "Dragon's Lair" (that cave where Thieving Tiefling kids are living) ... And quite honestly it never felt unimersive ... no matter the distance, its still the ground and the ground end somewhere ... sure, its a little unconsistent but that dont bother me.
maybe im simply exceptionaly good in ignoring things that would bother me otherwise
And then there is second layer and that is actual immersion ... what my characters know, that they would do, what they would think ... things that would "make sense in this world" ...
As for the cage example [burrowing into a suspended cage], my Badger will never burrow through time and space, since it would be a nonsence and i dislike nonsences. I ... and in that extend the badger ... know that i can burrow through the ground ... but not through the solid stone, not through empty air between cage and ground. Thats why i never do them, thats why i never even check if i can do them, since i would not care anyway ... and thats how i keep myself immerged, no matter what game "allows me to".
If I've faithfully summarized your position, there are some inconsistencies that you ignore and you avoid nonsensical events during your serious runs. This indicates to me that you understand why players who come accross these inconsistent or nonsensical events during their serious runs might feel a little upset. Wasn't that your question in the first place?
Hmm ... yes that sounds about right.
Except that part with ending ground ... but i checked and i really said it so poorly.
I meaned the chasm ofcourse ... as when you burron on one side of chasm ... and you burrow deep enough, you get to the point, where you are under it ... then you just move a bit to the side and start burrowing up ... yes im aware, it would mean you just moved 6000f instead of 60 (or how much you can, dont remember) ... but that is the part im willing to ignore.
As for the question ... not exactly.
I *know* what would bother me in such situation ... while i know it never bothered me enough to concider it gamebreaking, or even just immersion breaking ...
I could asume, sure ... but concidering how often i and other people around here agree on something ... i decided otherwise.
Also there is allways chance that somebody would give you the point of view you never even concidered youreself.
