By lack of "realism" I meant it is not realistic. Of course, it's the world of D&D, so it can't be realistic in terms of creatures or science. (So I don't compare it to the real world or to the present world.) What I meant is, for example, that quests normally don't "find" you, not all people run to a bunch of armed people in the open street, telling "help me/save me/find me this and that" or "I would hire you to do this and that". It happens, but not as often as in BG2. (Don't get me wrong, I don't say that adding less quests would have been the solution!) Additionally, a world (or region) is big, and not every corner holds treasure or villains. BG1 offered freedom, while BG2 practically leads you from scene to scene. And what about weapons? I understand that there is war and Saradush is powerful and merchants have good stuff available, but the deepest halls of Durlag's Tower only had a few +3 weapons while Saradush sells a wide variety of +4 (!) stuff! It's there for balance reasons, and it's okay, I also liked the huge battles and power. (As I've said, I like both games very very much, I just liked BG1 better.) So there are things that aren't "realistic", are contrary to the common sense.
