Genre with the least innovation?

Posted this on the boards but wanted to keep this here aswel.

Mine would have to be RPG.


It's always been about the same thing on PC's which gets very boring and thats;

- Grinding
- Quests
- Levels
- character traits/trees like putting points here and there.
etc etc.

Infact as time has gone on RPG games on the PC seem to be getting worse and more stale which is annoying and boring. For me RPG stands for "Role playing game" and that means you play your character and progress with it throughout the game. So why does everyone seem to think RPG means gaining a level and XP doing kill this and that quests etc etc. I know this is what DnD says but tbh why keep copying that crap?

I wish someone would come up with a RPG all about visuals where you have no interface and your mouse can change everything in the game like it being your characters hands, Where character building would be your looks and clothes and your own wisdom and what you learn about the game. Skill based is sooo much better than restrictions set by the game.


I think PM shares alot of the same ideas but what he says and what he does are 2 different things. This also applys to the RTS genre however Black and White 2 failed lol.
