    Default Name a True RPG

    When I say True RPG .I mean were you start out in a world in which you develop your character and you have choices and basicly complete freedom.Whatever you do has an outcome for your character.An RPG that is similar to D&D.

    1.Morrowind-This game is incredible and is widely over looked PC and xbox RPG! Literally an RPG that set a standard that still hasn't been met but the RPG fans who play there "playable anime"which they are fun but they aren't really truly RPGs due to the fact that the storyline is layed out and you dont have a choice to follow the storyline or not.ok back to morrowind.You get a choice to follow the main storyline or join a guild and build your way to the top.You can also just say screw it all and go out on your own and set your own goals such as killing off every single person in the gaming world.Or it can be making pilgramages to sacred sites.Or you can map off the entire world.The thing that makes morrowind amazing is the massiveness and the absolute freedom.HAs the greatest magic system I have ever seen very creative.

    When you start off in this game you choose your race and class and you can either choose your class from a list,take a quiz,or create your class.Now once you're out you're on your own.And its really intimidating.
    So much scary that many people do quit while a lot there carry on.This is a true RPG fans game!So flexible so fun.

    NAme a true RPG(can be online MMORPG the rules for that is the game can't seem like one big chore.)

    The best I can think of are Neverwinter Nights (based on D&D) and Guild Wars. Both are very versitile and you take that role and actually play through a story with at least a reasonable amount of freedom.

    "True" RPGs should technically be based off the D20 system, since D&D is the true origin of RPGs.

    Morrowind is a fine example.

    NWN is definitely one of the best examples.

    Best i can think of would be World of Warcraft.
    Choosing a race, class and looks, then having complete freedom in a pretty big world. Some of the things you do also affect your reputation with factions.

    You'll most likely disagree, but . . . GTA:SA.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    You guys took my example with Neverwinter Nights. It more or less is DnD, with a pretty layer of graphics.

    Damn, yeah, forgot Fallouts. Which reminds me of Star Wars: KOTOR.

    That's... actually a darn good observation. Though I wouldn't say there's enough freedom in the story itself to constitute this claim, all the other stuff you can do it expansive.

    I would say Morrowind is tops. Oblivion <3 *Imaptience*

    Star Wars KOTOR isn't bad like that.

    NWN is good, too.

    Fallout is possibly the best non-TES though. Even though it can be limiting, the sheer amazingness of the game makes up for it in infinite ways.

    Fable should have been, but ended up being merely a pretty fun hack and slash game.
