but i DO like RPG's to have more than just combat, maze exploration and item gathering..


Combat, maze exploring and item gathering isn't what RPG's are about in the first place. RPG's are about experiencing a story and acuall roleplaying (and those ideas you came up with acually help in the second aspect <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />). Of course, combat, maze exploration and item gathering can be quite fun once in a while, but that's not the reason at all I play RPG's.
