Of course they do. where do you think the concepts behind Illarion (and any game) come from. The real world. Everything about this game from it's basest feature to its most complex concepts is based somehow in real world. They certainly run paralelle but of course some things are going to be reminiscent of real life because in real life there are such things as good idea's and stupid idea's. Can no culture in illarion have a good idea just because it was done IRL? naah i don't think so chief^^Damien wrote:I don't tell people "how to think", Athian, i argued. In fact, that's also kinda what you are doing there. To be specifically, i gave reasons on why the prince's RP did fit into the game world. Plus, Illarion is a completely different world than ours ! Our world's wars and their tactics and experiences from those have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with and should not be compared with Illarion. Ever.
then i guess we can't have, sword fighting, magic, gods, craftsmenship, archery, fishing, tailoring, knighthoods, governments or cheese wiz (okay maybe not the last one) because sadly, they all these concepts came from the real world...
Don't try to draw the fine line right where you want it just so you can be right ^^ thats just dumb.
But enough of that. Yea some people didn't like the quest. THE QUEST in itself was kinda ugly and shoddy and tacky (IMO)
Otherwise we can't really access what the results of the quest are going to be like. lets give a a few months then argue again later^^
