funny thing is i KNOW it's not a troll. It's just sheer coincidence.
Why do I like RPGs ? Im going to try to sound as least ghey as I can with this, but I like the epic storyline and battles and I get all caught up in trying to save the world :/
Most RPG's are the same. Always in the same old Dungeons and Dragons type of setting. Always taking themselves too seriously. Yawn... So boring. 
The only RPG's I ever cared about were Super Mario RPG, Earthbound/Mother 2, Mother 3, and Paper Mario. That's about it.
I think that's a criticism many fans of the genre will agree with. I would love to see some RPGs set in the modern world, and ones where you don't have to save the world from an evil horde of demons straight from hell.
Good idea Insanity 69 could make an RPG of Furries versus Zombies. 
With you as the protagonist? You'd wish!
And what would you have been: a zombie or a furry?
I also need to add that the term ROLEPLAYING is actually fit, as in the pencil and paper era of d&d that's how you played it.
A computer rpg has 2 main components: developing your character by increasing his stats and roleplaying, making choices for him related to morality and stuff like that. People that just go and kill things and take loot, are not playing a pure rpg, just an action game with rpg elements.
The fact that you have stats that are expressed through numbers which you make "go up" creates a certain degree of dependency, along with filling up different progress bars, like the ones that show you that you've found x items out of 100, or such. That's what I'm asking: why?
