The thing about Western rpgs...they might sell a lot but they are mainly awful games. The only good western rpgs were made in the eighties: The Ultima series, SSI's Dungeons and Dragon's Gold Box games and a couple in the nineties Baldur's Gate and Diablo. They haven't made any strides since then other than in graphics. And games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 haven't made any strides in graphics as they are still the headache inducing things first person games they were back in the Wizardry, Akalabeth, Dungeon Master, and pre Heroes Might and Magic days.

They just don't have the cute characters and wonderful soap opera meets end of the world storylines found in the best jrpgs.

Yeah, Fallout 1/2, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR... All games that didn't move the genre forward at all.

Seriously, what the hell are you smoking? You can make an argument that WRPGs haven't progressed much since KOTOR, but the mid-80s? WTF?

And Diablo? That's barely even an RPG. You may not like WRPGs much, but that post is just foolish. There have been loads of great games made by various developers over the years.
