WRPGs vs. JRPGs: The Art of Story Telling

I think the main difference between WRPGs and JRPGs is the way the stories are told.

...

For an example, take Fallout 3. The story arc is fairly simple. First you need to find your father. Once you find him, he tells you how to save humanity. When you play the game, you explore a world where you are confronted with choices. I.e. Should I kill everyone in this town? These choices impact the rest of the game play experience.

*cough* Dragon Quest *cough*

Ahem, excuse me.  Don't know what came over me.
