yes but the Force can't be bought at your local drug store, inhaled and kill you either.
That was before the Force was explained as a dependent upon some mystical bacteria that exists in your bloodstream.

Here are some other things that are unrealistic and I think should be changed:
1. Explosions in space. Space = no O2 = no explosions. Shame on the devs for not noticing this.
2. Cloning and REZ. Totally unrealistic. In real life you are not able to go to a cloning station before you do something dangerousand then come back to life after something kills you.
3. Healing. In real life you can't get roasted bya flamethrower, have someone throw a blanket on you, have a medic throw a glowing ball at you, and then be ready to fight again. It really pulls me out of the game when the devs warp reality like this.
4. Training. In the game, I am a master doctor, but I didn't even have to read one book. I think the current leveling system for doctors should involve extensive exams and a one year residency at the Theed medical center. That would be more realistic. Would you go to a doctor who got most of his medical training on hunting trips?
I invite everyone who agrees with me to start a petition to make SWG more like real life. We have a voice! If we unite we will be heard!
Or maybe I should just lighten up a little bit....

you can purchase 250 mg of serotonin from sigma/aldrich for fifteen dollars. i really hope that a kid out there doesn't decide to snort it or something, in order to help him study for the big test--
because it's really really really bad for you, and for some reason a kid might think that the SWG devs knew what they were talking about when they made serotonin injections equivalent to that EQ-spell "clarity".
it is fine to suspend disbelief for certain game mechanics (ranged healing animation, "leveling up", and midiclorians) but it is entirely a different problem to say serotonin is something that in a galaxy far, far, away makes you "smarter". considering in worldwide censuses there are a significant portion of people who are "jedi" SOE should seriously consider renaming the serotonin buff. in the highly unlikely event that something bad happens don't say you weren't warned.
*orders some serotonin* i smell a lawsuit! jk jk!

battery acid has a better chance of making you smarter than serotonin. i say we rename the mind buff the "injection of battery acid buff"

if you gave someone a serotonin injection in real life, their mind wouldn't work "better". in fact, you would probably kill them.
they would immediately start hallucinating (in a bad way, think: LSD + schizophrenia), then their heart would stop beating.
also, it's spelled "endorphins" not "endorphines".
You'rewrong. Serotonin taken orally or injected does not pass into the serotonergic pathways of the central nervous system due to the blood-brain barrier stopping serotonin in the blood from effecting serotonin levels in the brain. At best it would work as a vasoconstrictor. You're thinking of serotengeric chemicals which are synthesized into serotonin in the brain. Serotonin also doesn't casue hallucinations, it's a chemical naturally occouring in the brain which is beleived to play a part in the biochemistry of depressoin, anxiety, apatite, and sexuality.

Course if we start naming things from SWG that couldnt be in real life, we couldnt have lightsabers cause thier impossible to make. Droids would not exixt at the calaber they do in swg. Every creature would not exist and so on. It has to have some aspects that cant happen in real life. Some people play for the unrealistic aspects.
