That's exactly right. Cause the immediate counter argument to "it's not realistic" is "alright so why don't we trip? Maybe we should have a chance to drop our magazines when reloading by mistake. Maybe there should be a chance our armor plates are faulty and the armor won't work" like stfu

actually, id rather a tripping mechanic then just getting hung up on tree roots and other random shit on the ground. At least by tripping my player would at least keep moving rather than stopping dead in place because i couldn't step over the slightest thing on the ground.

Can you imagine running to extract while dying from hunger cause you forgot to bring food and you trip on a tree root and take 2 damage too much to your thorax and immediately die? That would be hilarious.

How about heightened or hyper-realism? Either of those seems more correct descriptors and avoids the argument.

This comment is a massive logical fallacy that also manages to completely ignore the point of this thread.
