Definition of RPG = Role Playing Game
An RPG means a game that creates a story driven interactive world. Every game that is story driven and needs you to interact with the characters in that world in order to progress is an RPG. I think it is very possible to have a RPG that is soulely story driven, no action whatsoever. But ofcourse they need action.
But that's when the problem begins, the battlesystems! Turn-based, strategy, level-systems, menus, 1st person, 3rd person, realtime action, massive online multiplayer, amount of freedom... you get the idea.
If someone can come up with a better definition of RPG I would like to hear.
