I feel as if you responded to the wrong post? I didn't mention "true RPGs" or give a definition of what makes something an RPG?
Not exactly. I think you're continuing a theme here.
You're lumping Baldur's Gate together with Skyrim (a fantasy open-world first-person action adventure sandbox with little actual roleplaying once you're finished with the character creator) and D&D (a pen and paper RPG) to me shows that you're a little too fixated on the concept of the RPG. These games have very little in common in practice.
Yes, I understand the systems and lore for Baldur's Gate are taken from the pen and paper D&D -- but systems and lore are not the game.
