Oblivion, Morrowind both have the elements of RPG's the only thing i disliked was the leveled lists(and oblivion being dumbed down for consoles). And my opinions are not the case of what i was introduced to first. rpg's have been my favorite genre...and it does seem they're dying or being replaced by mmo's.

Kinda funny that I liked neither Oblivion or Morrowind due to them being to open and thus losing my interest.

fohfoh:
I think RPGs are going to converge with others genres then once it gets totally weird and "screwy" it will begin to go back and "become pure" again. (We're in the beginning stages of the "weird and screwy" imo)

^ the fuck?

RPGs are not dying but morso evolving.
RPGs have either gone the route of a Final Fantasy.
Lots of cuts scenes,tons of dialoge making it more
of playing an interactive movie than a game.These days
very Anime styled.

Then you have the Dragonage style rpgs.More of a
D&D style system.More of a realistic style look and
turned based can be toggled with space bar.Party based
and it allows you to make your own desicions.Wanna be good guy ok
wanna be an asshole thats ok to.You decide the outcome of things
by your actions.


Then you have the newer hybrids.
Borderlands-FPS/RPG
Diablo-action rpg
Fallout
Oblivion-Action rpg meets skill based system.

MMORPGS-really a catagory on thier own these days.



So no RPGs are not dying its just not Dragon Warrior or Phantasy Star anymore.
Which is both a good and bad thing.
