You do make valid points; I am not particularly fond of the action elements in RPGs myself. Games like Dragon Age and Fable however have blended the two very nicely--Dragon Age being far more strategic. It takes away from it in games like The Witcher and Sacred 2 (both being great games I just could never fully get into them because of the action method of defeating monsters.) Elder Scrolls is another I have tried and cannot get into. I know there is a huge market for games like Elder Scrolls (RPGs played in the first person) but I wish they could make RPGs expansive like Elder Scrolls but without the action elements or the first person elements. Although an RPG in the style of Resident Evil 4 would be interesting to me. Clearly everyone has their own opinions on the subject matter.
