@Erathsmus

I have done the horrible quests in single player Warband a total of : 0 times.

Because I was roleplaying a squire and considered myself above collecting cattle, training some loser lords men and being a messenger boy.

I did do quests about starting wars or ruining one nobles honor to favor another or hunting bandits. That fit with my view of the open world.

They call Skyrim "Sandbox". It isnt. M&B IS Sandbox.

And no, I dont consider Skyrim (or Oblivion for that matter) a decent RPG that changed the game market. Morrorwind? That one YES! That one yes a million times... but sorry Oblivion and Skyrim just no. Its not a hipster thing, its a loving computer games thing.

So until you start mentioning names like PLANESCAPE: Torment, BGII and Fallout 1 & 2 I dont plan on bowing down to games that really changed the industry.

Ofcourse Skyrim didn't bring anything revolutionary to gaming world, nor is it a real sandbox.

It's still great and worth it all the way though :D

RPG means to play a role with a band of friends. Not to grab some item on the ground, alone, until being half-god.
You can call Skyrim something like "adventure quest" but not RPG.
MMORPG are closer to real RPGs.

Nope.

A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

Utter Fail.
Perhaps you should look up the words actual definition and spare us your percieved definition of what an RPG is.

well,  i usually dont play any computer games.  than god knows how c-rpg appeared on my brothers pc,  and BAM!  hooked.  would never touch anything else,  but this c-rpg thing.  its special.
i am sure the servers will be packed again sooner or later.
although i wont be back to see it happen,
i know c-rpg will prevail.

The problem with that definition is that it fits just about every game out there. My personal definition of a rpg is freedom. Freedom to play a role that you want, to do what you want and to create a character that fits the role that you want.

This is why the term roleplaying game is so weird. When I think of playing a role I think of you being someone in an unchangeable story. Like I dont know, Max Payne for instance. You play the role of Max Payne in his story. In what we actually call rpg's you create your own role and can make your story whatever the hell you want, well some more than others. You don't assume any roles. I find what we call rpg's least deserving of the term rpg as far as singleplayer games go.
