Dragon Age II
JoonasTo:
Elder scrolls have a lot of freedom but not that much RP since all the interaction with other characters is, YES, NO, NEEDS MORE INFO.
The ALFA servers on NWN2 do pretty well now. I was there back in the NWN days but can't find the time anymore.
Many games have a lot of the rpG and not so much of the RPg, that's a major downpoint in most for me.
Best RPs are the ones the playbypost forum ones too bad they take so much time but they can be epic at best, that said, why don't we have any on these boards?.

I think there's two big misconceptions going on here that...
rpg = dnd style game (It has to have turns, you have to have an infinite amount of choices at any given point, the game must change significantly for every little decision you make, etc.)
rpg =/= adventure game (I call bullshit, if you're not on an adventure in an rpg, what the fuck are you doing?)
Furthermore, any comparison to NWN I'm just going to flat-out ignore, because NWN IS dnd. It's a cheap way of getting dnd complaints hurled at rpgs.

Just played the PC demo... Wow, it's bad.

I think the most common misconception is skill tree + leveling + a couple of (pre-scripted) storyline choices = rpg

Fixed.
Those are all elements of an rpg.
Also, there's no such thing as a video game that isn't pre-scripted. Complaining about that is nonsense.
