Yes, indeed. Lets think about this....
I'll wager almost 100% that you do not want realism in all aspects, because the simple proof of the matter is why then are you playing a fantasy game, where you can throw fireballs with your hands against all sorts of monsters.
Do you want to only have one shot at playing the game, because if Geralt "dies"; you can't play anymore - a person only lives ones.
How much "realism" and what types you want in a game is so subjective as anything can be.
So I have thought about this, and you should extend the same courtesy before claiming all sorts of things. I live in the real world, I know that realism in computer games are not fun, and I know this because I live in realism. When I play computer games, they break the fabrics of realism, 'cause otherwise, I'd might as well just "do real life" as entertainment instead.
You gripe that the character puts away his sword at times which are inconvenience to you and attribute it to ..... realism of all things.
In the face of slinging around a huge two handed sword while fighting a phantom ghost dog or something, of all things - you claim it is less realistic.
Well - if I were escorting civilians, I'd not run around with my weapon out, especially in Rainbow 6 (or run around with a live granade with the pin pulled out .... just in case).
It is fast to pull out the weapon, it would be "unrealistic" to walk around with it wielding constantly. However you *could* do that alone due to the unrealistic nature of a game, but it is not more realistic.
Also - the dog surprises you - it spawns into existence. Then you can pull your weapons. For what it is worth - you do not even need the oil to beat the little doggie.
What you want is not realism, it is an increased ability to meta-game because *you* know what happens, not "Geralt". Which is even less realistic then anything else.
