Skyrim is shit btw. Oblivion forever (oblivion is worse than Morrowind, but Oblivion was my entrance to the games so I love it)

    Wether you follow lore or not isn’t really what I mean when I speak about the RPG as a system. The limitations you give yourself are artificial and self-imposed, you’re working around the system, not with it. The game isn’t doing the work for you, the game isn’t reacting to you being a vampire hunter outside of the vampire hunter dlc, where you will always be a vampire or vampire hunter, depending on what you choose.

    I can role play in Crusader Kings, but I wouldn’t say thats a good RPG system either.

      As long as the system allows the role-playing to be lore-consistent and character variety compelling, then my criteria for ‘good’ has been fulfilled. Obviously that’s not my criteria for a “GREAT” RPG, but “good enough” can, under a lot of conditions, have a quality all it’s own
