Or so close to reality that is won't be useful. Christ man! Is it so hard to accept that this game is one a single plane? That we don't have flying mounts or can jump off mountains and hang air for 3 minutes until we reach the bottom?
And being unable to get past a one foot high wall because you can't leave the ground, that fits with low tone realism?
