[QUOTE="ag1002"][QUOTE="Bartag"][QUOTE="great_rulo"] Actually a real RPG is a turn based game, not this, Too Human, Mass Effect, Oblivion and all those games just have some RPG elements, Suikoden, Breath of fire and Final Fantasy(before squaresoft and enix joined forces) were real RPGs.

Actually a real RPG involves pen and paper... but that's just me being nit-picky:D
There are so many combat rules even in the roll dice type games that calling a game RPG or not depending on if you take turns fighting is, to me, a bit limiting. Baulder's Gate, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Icewind Dale are all RPGs but they don't follow a turn system per se.

Role Playing Game
It's any game where you play the role of another character.Not really, you wouldn't call Virtua fighter a role playing game even though you play the role of another character.
LOL - exactly! According to that definition - every single video game ever is a role playing game because you are always playing another character. :P
