Ever heard of the theory of suspended belief?

Its when you put aside your intelligence and scepticism to be wowed by magic tricks or fantasy fiction. TES operates on this principle.

Although you know it is impossible, you are willing to be tricked so that you can applaud.

Although, I'd say the story does need to fit in a way - I mean, if a bandit can kidnap a destruction mage from two warriors, I see a huge problem there.

So, I'd say these small problems must be resolved.

Although, I don't think we need to implement realism of any sort except stuff that is way too common sense. Attractive gameplay, a good story, well made NPCs and the ability to do psychotic things in game (bacause you can't do them in real life) are all contributing factors to make a good game.
