Bad games that you DO like

[Yew-Yevon]

Hell no! Morrowind is boring like hell, worst RPG ever in my books, even not RPG, some boring exploring-bad combat game. In my books, no story, no characters with personality - no RPG game, period, no discussion here. Yes, Morrowind doesn't hold your hand or whatever else, it just doesn't hold, lol. If you like wandering through 1000 exactly the same maps and fighting 50000 exactly the same NPCs than so called PC RPG games are for you, Morrowind being worst of them. Idea that RPG can have open end is sick! The good story has to have a very great end. RPG can't give you freedom to do whatever you want, that's other games which have such option. I would write more what's RPG is about that's not a place.

I could argue over the semantics of RPG history a lot, but basically it's styled after the more deep American-style RPG. JRPGs don't require nearly the same amount of patience, nor do they offer quite the same reward for the time spent.

I wouldn't call amarican rpg's "rewarding"
