I view it as a fantasy, but as realistically as possible if that makes any sense at all. It's still a fantasy because there's magic, monsters, things such as primals etc., but I apply realistic concepts to more "normal" aspects such as melee fighting, for example. I would find it strange if a person roleplayed that they were able to defeat various competent opponents with a regular wooden lance or something. Magic is harder to judge because there's nothing real to base it on, but I'm pretty fine with most concepts as long as they don't seem really overpowered, like a person magically regrowing half their body with no/barely any repercussions on the healer or patient (and it also has to make sense in context with their background).
I care much more about type and depth of personality in a character than whether they're powerful or weak when RPing with someone (as long as their power isn't off-putting or unrealistic, such as them being good at everything or winning over my character all the time when my character is supposed to be good at the particular field, etc.). Special snowflakes are alright as long as they aren't made up of them. Personally, however, I am more interested in playing a character that is powerful in one or two areas.
