And, come 2.4, we'll be having Roegadyn Ninjas who have an attack where they move so fast they turn invisible and appear on a monster's head!
Comes down to the realism vs fantasy thing at the end of the day. There won't ever be an agreement unless SE turns around and states "Yes, Lalafell are weaker than the rest of the races when it comes to pure strength". We have examples where they aren't, so it's just going to keep going in circles.
You may have physics as your argument, but things taken right out of the game show otherwise. And for myself (at least), I'll be taking what the creators of the world and races have shown me over the physics of our own world.
Edit: If an example doesn't make it canon, what does? Something we aren't shown at all? I'm getting the impression this thread wasn't a question of "Please show me some examples" as the original post asks, but more shooting down the idea that a Lalafell could match any other race strength-wise.
Moving so fast you turn invisible and appear on someone's head is not going to be a level 1 skill. It represents training, practice and dedication to learning one specific art (and since we know Ninja utilize ninjitsu, it's not even unreasonable to assume the attack is magical in nature to achieve such results). The things you're referencing right out of the are still examples from the already-extraordinary.
I'm saying one example doesn't make something canon. Otherwise we can assume that any attempt at throwing a highlander results in an explosion. Or that a highlander can fall from the moon and survive!
Or that any old man can beat up a chimera single-handedly.
Or basically any ridiculous thing that ever happened in a Hildebrand scenario, since they're all represented in-game accordingly.
Yes, because a comedic sidequest line is the same as a serious mainquest line.
If you discredit ingame instances (Y'know, the ones meant seriously) to not be canon, then we can infact base our lore on = nothing. At this point you're discrediting the games 'Lore' value, the 'Main quests' lore value. And 1.0 Is as canon as 2.0 is.
