Yeah, I suppose...but I mean why do we talk about
anything then? After all it's just a game...and no
facet of mechanics will ever match up real life...

A matter of personal preference there too...one of the
things I like about UA, at least from a personal
perception, is the lack of cinema violence...by that I
don't mean there aren't cool combat moments you
narrate in slow-mo descriptions, rather that combat is
what combat is--deadly...you get shot you're probably
going to die, if you're duking it out, it's not-pretty
and probably a little messy...which i found a nice
alternative to so much of the law rockets flying and
the fourteen Ak-47s emptying their clips into the room
while the characters use their acrobatics and secret
kuenjofu-do skills to dispatch the hoards of
gun-toting assassins...
