Well, yeah. My point was more to imply that a game that tried to be too realistic usually is a boring game, unless the point is to be realistic like a sim. I have a feeling that BM isn't quite so strict on realism.
And, I am not saying that we walk around blasting fireballs out of our eyeballs (though I have certainly asked for something...similar but not that ridiculous). I do mean, though, that, obviously, within reason, there is no need for too much enforcement. I think that if we were to apply something like a bunch of checkboxes for religions, for example, pretty soon we'll see players complaining about how restrictive the options are, like "These checkboxes don't let us worship sparkly vampire dragons" or "There's no checkbox that describes which animals are included in our sacrifices", etc.
