uhhhh i guess it sjust a game where the emphasis is not on reflexes, more on story, and your progress is up to you
for example i loved blade runner on pc, thought that was a great rpg, tho many may disagree.
i thought riddick was very rpgish too, tho it had a lot of action.
i guess i just have a broad interpretation of it. i started with ultima and might and magic, and have just watched where they went with that ever since.
