In a proper role-playing game, you make the decision that your character would make, full stop. Always.
If at any point you're making decisions based on what you want to do, you're not playing an RPG. See all those minigames and sidequests you end up doing in Zelda for fun and loot? Dat's not roleplaying, Link would never waste his time like that outside of the time-travel games (and even then).

The term has been bastardized a bit by video gamers to include any game where any role is had by anyone, which is obviously stupid.
