Interesting discussion
For me both are enjoyable rpg-genres !
Or to say it like this:
a mix of different rpg-elements into 1 RPG game can make or break everyone's
love & passion for that game !
AND : some rpg's have just more great features than another ! But yeah, "What do You find great and what do I find great in a RPG?", that's most of the time something else
I'm more open-minded, but still I've my favorite rpg-elements.
By accident :
some Genius Minds are still keen in the building of the Larian Studios in Belgium ! They make each time again the most favorite games in my life,

ForEveR !!
