Simple enough question, I want your answers.
If you have read this sub-forum recetly you would see the majority of Dragon age threads and it got me thinking.
What is YOUR idea of what an RPG is like?
I'll go first, in my opinion, an RPG is where you make your character in the world made up by the developers, and a good RPG is one that lets you play out your indivudual role as much as it can. If you want to be a master thief, it lets you, if you want to be a noble warrior, it lets you, if you want to run things from an economical point of view, it lets you.
Basically, a Roleplaying game gives you all the tools to make your own other identity in a game, and guides you along pathways via quests for you to discover stuff about the game and even your character.
I'd like to hear what your opinion on an RPG is.
