What makes a game a role-playing game? For me, it is creating a truly unique and personal character. It is interacting with the world in complex ways – forging relationships and alliances, assembling a party that interacts with me as well as each other, and feeling like my dialogue choices and actions affect the world around me. In various games I have played I’ve built strongholds, had romances, and changed the course of a game with a misspoken word or accidental death. I like sprawling dungeons that wind ever-deeper, trees that sway in the breeze, and clouds that pass in the sky overhead.
