Where did RPing go, and Why?
author=LockeZauthor=CorfaisusBecause this is the game design and theory forum, you clownwagon.
Why push others to explain their opinion as if they could be swayed upon realizing "Well, I hate the game because... hmm... Because I... err... I don't know. Perhaps I don't, really. I'll give it another shot." If I said that I don't like the taste of chocolate, would anyone who enjoys chocolate really approach me and say, "Geez! Why don't you like chocolate? You know it's actually good for you in some slight way, right?"
The goal is to obtain information, so that we can make our games better. To do this we need to understand exactly what causes people to dislike them. That way we can try to avoid those problems while still including the things people like.
Seriously, why are you even in this forum if that's not your mentality?
This.
If you said "I don't like chocolate" and someone asked why and you said "I don't like the taste" that would be citing a reason. As opposed to just saying you don't like it, you explained what about it was displeasing to you, which could have been texture etc.
So you just deflated your own argument.

horrible gameplay.
Yeah gameplay was majorly flawed. Some battles are unwinnable unless you switch to turn-based mode (you can switch turn-based and real-time on and off). But, on the flipside, the RPing element was amazingly strong. The entire world responds to you as exactly the character you are - beautiful, ugly, persuasive, idiotic, whether or not they would treat you in a racist manner, etc. It really depends on what you're looking for whether or not the game will be an enjoyable play (and in this instance, I would suggest it to someone looking for the RP element).
Rpg Maker 2003 Item classification NOOB Question
Switch items toggle a switch when you use them. (For example, you could use them to toggle a Common Event Parallel Process on or off - like a Stopwatch that freezes the day and night system).
The other ones I could explain if I had the engine handy. I KNOW I KNOW THIS ARRGH. But "other" or "unique" items, one of the two I am pretty sure, are just a useless generic item type for stuff (like many many many games have "Key Items" that do nothing but have plot significance).

You obviously feel very strongly on this matter...
Not strongly enough to explain why, provide examples, cite a bad review, etc
as usual

arcanum is fucking godawful
i don't give a shit about "RPing"/this topic but i feel the need to point out that it is a piece of shit "game" because yes it is a great medium for you to pretend to be a borderline-retarded orc who rips wolves in half, but not to have fun
examples, sources, citations please
since that is some peoples' definition of "fun"

My current aims are:
-I want to make a game with ludicrous classes like a Guitaromancer.
Please consult me on this. Friends and I used to run a pretty unstructured RP on IRC that we referred to as the Chaos Engine. We would all pick classes like Poledancer, Barista, Fecalord (probably exactly what you think), Hairstylist... and, yeah

You know, I could be talking out of my ass, because I'M A LADIES' MAN and I never got anyone pissed at me the entire game. (Happened a lot in P3 though.)

sometimes completely unimportant people get pissed off for a short while.
Reverse a link with a party member you'd like to use and tell me that's not important. I guess my chosen party member will just never evolve her Persona, but who cares? I guess Rise won't learn some of her cooler abilities, but I'll suffer the loss of potential mini-map functionality because she doesn't matter. (Stop getting pissed off girls. There's enough Souji to go around. Harem party!)
Dating eight women is the same as dating none.
Except that it changes details during the end of the game. Okay. (This is a nitpick. But it does change... SOMETHING ;-;)
P4 has no deviations from the path except whether the girls cry or not when you say goodbye. You do not even get the "Eight-timer" achievement!
I will agree with this, though. You're still playing a role and deciding what actions to take, it just has very little effect on the progression of the game. I don't think this means you aren't RPing, just not in a way that is more significant to your ultimate experience.
