    In my opinion, games with established characters aren’t RPGs at all. How the hell am I supposed to role play some character with their own personality, background, story, and thoughts? As opposed to making your own in a Bethesda game that actually truly allows you to role play anyone.

    Nothing wrong with games with established characters, but calling them RPGs is simply nonsensical to me.

      But you play the role of that characters, right?

      Hot takes but, I think playing in your own created characters should not use ‘Role Playing’ name, because the player can act outside of the role, invalidate the role playing name
