Realism is usually a good thing but how much is too much?

When most people think about realism I think they think of an elder scrolls game but in skyrim for example, the main city whiterun only have around 30 people in it and it only takes about a minute to go from the town entrance to the opposite end of town(castle).

Also while walking in the wild feels tedious it's usually only for 10 minutes at the most. Imagine if it was realistic...

You have walk to video game walmart which takes 30 minutes and then you have to walk another 45 minutes to sharpen your sword at the pokemart, then you have to walk 2 hours along the highway to get to your quest location.

That would be pretty boring...

So what do you guys think? How far is too far when making your game realistic?

I would rather have a realistic game that condenses the boring and tedious parts of real life.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
