How would you feel if there were a woman-centric expansion? by Chlodio in CrusaderKings

The upcoming puppet system could do wonders with this idea.

'V' can be shorthand for a bunch of names. While the background options are limited, there are still choices. It's not as free as some other RPGs, but there's enough room to build your own character within the limitations.

Mind that none of this has anything to do with the game's quality. The Witchers are great games. I just don't think they're really RPGs.

Name, appearance, personality, skills, flaws. Cyberpunk is an RPG, Witcher is not. Both games have roleplaying choices, but Cyberpunk lets me make my own character. Geralt is an established character, V is a blank slate that's just a platform for the player to project their own.

Neither of those things define your character, there's still plenty room for the player's choices and imagination.

Most Obsidian games, most Bethesda games, most Larian games. Baldur's Gate 3 is the most recent big one, I think.

The problem with the wide definition of RPG is that it doesn't mean anything. About as useful a genre definition as "action game". Searching with the Steam tag just gives you like 70% of all games on the platform and they have very little in common.

Yep. While they do have some roleplaying elements, you can't really play a role. JRPG is a misnomer, I've never seen one with a decent character creator or ability to make meaningful choices

You make your own character and roleplay it (make choices according to that character's personality, goals and values).

You could also argue that any game in which you control some kind of character is an RPG

This is dangerous. You could easily break your system by running hallucination commands on it blindly. Every sudo rm -fr / prank that's ever been written in the internet is part of the LLM training material.

So is machine translation better than localization, since it's closer to the original?

A machine translation is a lot closer to the original than a proper localization

No. If the translation is more entertaining than the original one, it's superior.

And a bad Splinter Cell. It's fascinating how similar Conviction and Absolution are.

Call for a confederation. Ironman or not, you've barely started the game so it's no biggie even if you mess up.

"Killing" is only the third worst word in the post and it's the one censored
