A fair point. Though I think there is plenty of room for surrealism, which is what that particular comparison (Avatar) was going for, I think.
It's also what they were shooting for with things like the Necrochasm and Stranger's Rifle. Which I'm 100% okay with. You won't see me making a thread that says "this alien rifle's design is completely absurd and impossible!"

Absolutely! Surrealism is cool enough though Avatar was just crap. Lol I am, admittedly a die hard about 'science' fiction and I love the 'rules' Asimov and Clark laid out over 50 years ago. Fiction has rules too, much as they're not respected much anymore. Games can do pretty much anything they want and be fun. Its hard for players to 'get a grip' though, when the 'rules' change or bend - too far.

Exactly. I love the outlandish stuff like Thorn and the Necrochasm and the Vex (it's so 70s sci-fi)... I just wish the "normal" stuff were a little more... you know... normal.
