Should POTCO be more realistic?

[Captain Jason]

I'd definitely like to to see weather in this game. Especially when sailing, because they could add rough seas, thuner, rain, maybe even lightning every now and then. Much like what Davy said, I also think sailing should be more complex. For example, maybe you could have a small little object in the corner of the screen for seeing which direction the wind is blowing and how hard. You can't sail directly into the wind, and the wind is always changing. The more you turn to sail with the wind the faster you can go. Also, they should show this in the sails. The sails should show more full when it's windy, and change direction slightly when turning or when the wind changes.

NPCs, I don't really care about. I don't want to have to hunt for Gunner every time I return his rum.

I definitely miss seeing enemies and other players on ships, and holes in sails. That was really cool, and a lot more realistic. It may increase lag, but they could find a way to work around that. For example, enemies and players might not show up if your not within a certain distance.

About land, I'd like to see a way to switch between walking, running, and sprinting. (which can only be done for a short time) I don't know about drowning, but I wouldn't mind falling from high places. The only problem is that there aren't really very many high places to fall from, and most lead to water. I think the combat is fine, unless they completely change it and start over. It may not be realistic, but it doesn't need to be.

While more realism would be nice, I'd like to see more content first. Either way, I said yes. POTCO should be more realistic, but they shouldn't spend all their time worrying about it.
