![]() Which is why I believe people on this site are justified in saying that DS2 is not an RPG, even though it is a very good attempt at an action RPG.Other CRPGs like Fallout or Bloodlines have their gameplay more geared to look like a tabletop RPG, and thus manage to do a better job than DS2.The game still plays mostly as an action game with attribute and equipment choices changing a lot but failing to build up to anything looking like a story. However, despite that, these aspects don't go so deep into the gameplay of the game itself.DS2 has some pretty good aspects of a CRPG.A game is more of a CRPG or less of a CRPG the more or less it allows for the player to engage the gameworld, play and customise his role in the game, the more or less his role affects gameplay, specific challenges, etc.Since there is not a specific gameplay associated with CRPGs, they are not really a genre, but a way to separate games thematically. As such, they are defined by this gameplay. Single player computer games are instead determined by their gameplay, by how it creates challenges for the player and what those challenges are, and how it helps the player get better to overcome them.They are defined by something that can only be done with other humans. I will try to explain what I intended to say in a more succinct way.
