Though, I admit that they are still better than a "generic bland scene" anyway.


You know, I used to argue that it was very poetic.

..I don't make that argument anymore.

Although it's way better than some of the shit I've seen from L.E. Modesit (the first book that he published) in which I distinctly recall some of the scenes being written as such:

Ping!
Clink!
Thud!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!"


Next to that, I'll take Cats Dancing on Hot Sand any day of the week.

I find all of the non-channeling related combat implausible and over-dramatic - 03/06/2011 03:51:35 PM 1169 Views

The aftermath - but I don't think he really showed the chaos on a battlefield that well - 03/06/2011 07:19:20 PM 814 Views
That doesn't make them unrealistic... - 03/06/2011 08:30:05 PM 803 Views
I think it does make them unrealistic. Stylistic choices determine how these scenes are conveyed. - 03/06/2011 09:24:21 PM 1014 Views

WoT combat scenes are highly overrated. The non-OP fight scenes aresn't even scenes at all - 11/06/2011 12:59:50 AM 798 Views
