An interesting different way to look at it is imho Jagged Alliance : Combat as RPG. I think that's vice versa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
There combat isn't part of an RPG, instead combat is the RPG ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
(Actually, it's difficult to describe what I mean ... I hope you get the idea.)
