Guys? its a game. its whats more intersting and fun not whats realistic. if you still don't like for gameplay reasons, i respect that but still....

Often times, realism equates to what is "interesting and fun".  I find that the more realistic something is, the more I can immerse myself in the game and become more invested in the outcome.  This adds to my fun...

No one wants ambient life that interferes with the game and I don't think that is what people are asking for.
