So how do you define RPG?
The reason im asking is i keep seeing mass effect and fallout being called rpgs but to me they just dont seem to be an RPG. Mass effect to me is a FPS and same goes for fallout(or third person shooter)
To me an RPG is a game like the witcher, rift or obilvion where you have leveling and skills as a key/main component. Also for me rpgs all seem to be set in medieval times like with swords, castles and magic. And upgrading armour and weapons are important.
If its in the future your liekly to be fighting with or against guns and then it sort of changes into a fps instead of an rpg.
Am i being to set in my ways thinking rpg = knights and quests?
So where to you disagree with my definition and what is your own definition of RPG
