Is KOTOR considered a RPG?

>

^ KOTOR was an action- (fork road) adventure game with stats.

There's hardly any role playing elements in it, but that's true for evey Bioware game.

The closest thing to a true role playing game was Fallout 1 (; 2 and 3 are to liniar and grining-combat orientated). But even it had flaws, like the turned based combat and over-emphasis on the numbers/spreadsheet.

I consider it to be an RPG. The combat appeared more action-heavy, but it was basically turn-based with "dice rolls" determinng hits and damage, and experience points were used to level users up to gain more stats and abilities.

If we can't call that an RPG, we can't use that term for most single-player games referred to as RPGs today, including the Final Fantasy series.
