I thought I'd put this to a poll. These seem to be the various beliefs of what defines an rpg at the Codex (excluding mondblut's of course). So what do you guys think? Personally I get the feeling that 1 & 2 (together) will get the most votes, but we'll see. As for me, I'd have to pick C&C over everything else. Why? Because I think that it engages the mind on a deeper level than anything else in games; and that, therefore - if implemented well - it will provide the most thorough and engaging form of entertainment possible in games. The Codex seemed to be a place that shared my beliefs, and that's one of the reasons I started posting here. But after a while I began to realize that that belief wasn't as universal here as I once thought. So how about we settle this? Let's see what the majority of Codexers think. Regardless of the outcome, I DO think C&C is an important enough phenomenon in games (and only possible in games) that it deseves special recognition, so if the Codex doesn't agree that that is what makes an rpg I'll need to think of another term or something.
