| Topic | How far does your definition of RPG go? |

I think the first thing people need to accept is that the RPG genre within video games is something completely different from tabletop RPGs. There are similarities, but they are different things. Videogame RPGs are called such because they historically took inspiration from tabletop games like DnD. From there, though, the genre has kept growing on its own. And like with any genre, there isn't a very strict definition that's not how genres work. Some people will argue that stats is what makes a game an RPG. Others will argue that it is the degree to which you as a player can determine the fate of the character you play. To me it's essentially just a mix of a lot of such traits. When a game is labeled as RPG I know it could mean a lot of different things depending on who made it. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent ...
