>>19548758>I have, and most of the good sessions had a set end game that the DM setup to be accomplished. You can't just let the party run around and murderhobo or ERP everywhere, otherwise people get bored.a tabletop roleplaying game usually includes multiple approaches to the end unless the DM is shit
a DM can respond to any sensible (not lolrandom) player action; if a DM insists on videogame-like railroading he is a shit DM
>Trying to classify video game RPG's using a tabletop's definitions is ignorant. One type of game has the advantage of being able to adapt to the player's wishes on the fly, while the other has to balance out a player's wishes months before the game is played.you're the one conflating RPG videogames with roleplaying games even though you apparently recognize that they are not the same thing
do not call RPG videogames "roleplaying games", because that is not what they are
the term "roleplaying game" was defined by tabletop RPGs
RPG videogames are attempts of bringing that kind of experience to a different medium, but they are limited by the capabilities of the medium; they cannot replicate the original experience, therefore they become something DIFFERENT
>tactical options are roleplayingby that logic configuring your beam combination in super metroid or choosing your loadout in team fortress 2 is "roleplaying"
calling any kind of customization "RPG elements" is misleading because customization is not sufficient to identify a game as a "roleplaying game"
please do not contribute to general ignorance
>Besides, this is about the Pokemon series not being an RPG as a video game.no this is about the pokemon games not being roleplaying games
