The Lonesome Wanderer Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's not a WW in this game. A WW is like The Lightbringers/Darkbringers. That's just a small battle by comparison.

ToaKapura1234 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well it's quite chaotic to be in a battle that's practically a free-for-all with ten participants.

Dapper-Sama Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Has anyone noticed that "The laws of Logic, Physics and Thermodynamics" exist in the real world? Bionicle follows real-life guidelines, and does not have it's own set of laws to govern it's universe. Therefore, "Bionicle Realism" is really just "Realism". Morally unambiguous.

ToaKapura1234 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 In real life, people shooting fire out of their hands is not realistic.

Yet the story team did have numerous constituencies it followed, and moreso, it's a rather on-topic discussion, due to making sure everybody else knows to follow realism's dictates in this RPG, something that we all can have trouble with once in a while. I beg to differ, sir "Real life physics don't apply in BIONICLE, unless scientists discovered Protodermis yesterday and I wasn't told about it."-Greg Farshtey No, but they do apply in this game, so for all intents and purposes, that quote is useless.

So its close to our realism but not quite. But this is a discussion for S&T. Let's get back on topic people. So to start us off: What's the Necromancer cult been up to? Actually, this very much is on topic, We're discussing what level of realism pertains to the game at large, and more specifically, how in-game science compares to out of game. To speak to the topic itself, Bionicle does have an internally consistent logic that is more or less consistent with our own science, unless otherwise specified. Rather than a world where none of our scientific laws apply, this is a world that obeys physics, but has its own rules regarding powers and biology. Moreover, it is worth noting that the BZPRPG sticks to real world science much, much more than canon ever did. Biology and physics are much more relevant here. The only real exception is lightning, and that's just so they don't become Toa of Insta-Kill. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?
