I tend to take the same stance, but that's also generally true of most games that are labeled as RPGs, especially JRPGs, going all the way back to Final Fantasy I.
RPGs are games in which you define your character and decide what they do. There may be a path for you to walk, but you can choose whether or not you can walk it. Bethesda is one of the only companies right now still making true RPGs. BioWare does too, ut it's to a lesser extent of late.
