I think this is going to have to go to a vote because I don't agree at all.

While the function of the wiki is similar to that of an encyclopedia, Wikia projects -  including this one - are nowhere near as formal. That's why we can include the likes of walkthroughs, and trivia sections in articles. We are not obliged to adhere to the standards of other digital encyclopedia's. When it comes to something like a game where the visual aspects of it are critically important (unlike a book, for example), I see no reason to place an upper limit on the number of images we add to articles about it (unless of course they're just repeats of the same thing). Images have the potential to give just as much information about a topic as whatever is written in the article, so I think we should avail of that fact.

Also generally, I add images of the most significant locations of a map, not every single closet or whatever so I don't really get what you're saying. I don't see how too many images is effecting the quality of the wiki and I definitely don't understand how you can justify comparing it to spam.

I suppose the only way to resolve this is to see if users of this site find the number of images excessive or not.
