And here it comes into view.
Remember when in my earlier posts I said that some people don't think it's a RPG because it's so simple?
There you go.
Toxik, there's no way it can't be a RPG, as I've said before, the clicking is a game mechanic, it has nothing to do with the genre, I think you say that RPGs HAVE to be in a certain league, i.e. they have to be like Baldur's Gate or Fallout, and just because it isn't like those, it can't fit into the genre.
Deus Ex IS a RPG, there is no denying it. If the game had an overhead perspective, then damn, it would be exactly like an RPG. You create a character (Stats, name, etc.) you make choices on your path, you talk with NPCs and your character develops on how you want him to develop (be evil, good, etc.) If that's not roleplaying, then I don't know what is.
So far, no one has any good reasons to accuse Diablo or any other game of not fitting into the genre of RPG.
I just think you guys don't really understand the definition of an RPG.
