Well, since the RPG genre is kinda broad it's a bit hard to answer. I would want different things for a so called jRPG or a cRPG.
For computer roleplaying games, an interesting setting is really important. Good writing, it doesn't have to be all shakespearian or anything. But it has to make me feel that there is a person actually speaking. Fallout is a great example of this. Having choices and & consequences are important for me. It has to feel like you're changing the world in some ways, manipulating, or having it manipulating you. This is where the Elder Scrolls series fails for me ultimately. The world feels to static. This would be a problem in jRPGs as well, but for the most part they're much more storydriven so it doesn't become as big a problem. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
