That doesn't make them unrealistic... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 03/06/2011 08:30:05 PM
I agree that he didn't go into the details of the horror in battlefields. He severely curtailed the descriptions of those things. But that was more a stylistic choice based on the tone he wanted for the novels, not a reflection of the realism of the battles.

I find all of the non-channeling related combat implausible and over-dramatic RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/06/2011 03:51:35 PM 1005 Views

The aftermath - but I don't think he really showed the chaos on a battlefield that well RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/06/2011 07:19:20 PM 644 Views

I think it does make them unrealistic. Stylistic choices determine how these scenes are conveyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/06/2011 09:24:21 PM 848 Views

WoT combat scenes are highly overrated. The non-OP fight scenes aresn't even scenes at all Bookwyrm - 11/06/2011 12:59:50 AM 641 Views
