It all depends on what RPG is defined as.

 

You could easily argue that pretty much all games from Doom to NFS to Mario are RPGs in the sense that you play the role of a character.

Correct.

 

 

Incorrect... those games allow you to play a character that has a role... diffrent from playing the role of a character... There will always be limits to video games that are not there for PnP games, but Fable 2 comes closer to what an RPG really is then Final Fantasy or Grandia do.  I'm not saying that they are not RPGs, but I'm saying there is a line and on one side is Aventure games and on the other side is RPGs and they are easily mixed together in the middle.
