MUSE Ltd.: unrealistic

unrealistic

unrealistic

adjective Not the way things work in the real world. "If I throw this mobile from the top of the cliff it should die, but it doesn't. That's unrealistic.". As most of the game is predicated on the assumption that magic works, and most of the real world is predicated on the assumption that it doesn't, one would expect that the term unrealistic could not be applied in such cases. This does not, however, deter people from doing so, eg. "The invis spell only works on players and mobiles, not objects: isn't that unrealistic?". In this case, unrealistic can be read as meaning "not how the real world would behave if it had been programmed properly". See depth, inconsistent (sense 2), examine fetish.
