No, and you don't need a blank slate self-insert MC to be able to roleplay either.

but it's a ROLEPLAYING GAME

Not really, because roleplaying is a nebulous term in the context of video games. Watch 3 people reply to me with 3 different definitions.

So is she dead after that last episode?

first part of this? kino based
second part? shit bluepilled

I want to do that

only if you're a tranny who needs to self-insert into their girl character or they dissociate

Is bacon a requirement for sandwich to be classified as a BLT?

Every game is an RPG, since you take on the role of the main character to go on an adventure.

no, nowadays you can get away with calling damn near anything an RPG
this is because people didn't 'gatekeep' terminology hard enough, it's exactly what happened to roguelikes - not enough gatekeeping

I remember one of the times I was finishing right before shit gets out of hand in the vid and skipping to the end afterwards out of curiosity, seeing her bound and drowning in cum was so obscene I actually lmao'd

This is an RPG. Anything else is either a subgenre or not an RPG at all.

characters like sora or commander shepard have established backgrounds, but you build them the way you would be if you were them, hence the 'role-play'.
characters like the courier are great to insert donut-steele's on because they're nobody until a defining moment marks them the mc.

Is morrowind an RPG by your standards?

No, a dungeon crawler with no interaction other than combat is still classified as RPG as long as it has character progression and equipment

That isn't pedit5.

apparently all those self proclaimed role-playing MOOs and MUDs that I've played don't count
as I've said, clearly there hasn't been enough gatekeeping

First part of this is amazing but it goes downhill so fast.

what is this? I'm curious

By that definition morrowind isn't an rpg

>the fingersnapping
Sides in orbit

>all those dicks

fuck off and google it zoomer

I'm not American I don't know what that is

I don't think you've played Morrowind. The game rolls dice every time you would hit shit to determine the result. I don't even think they're secret.

>combat involving dicerolls is roleplaying
doom has random damage on rockets, is doom an rpg? It rolls dice!
