My feeling is that RPGs are discussed differently than other games because most of them offer various courses of action.
RPGs have the most in depth story as well, the need to understand them might be discussed.
Also, probably most important. The future is Massive online RPGs, ie FFXI, EQ2, etc. This is where you can talk about that stuff, not just online forum. The point it, you talk about story, you talk about side quest, you talk about making parties. There\'s so much involvement in RPGs that they deserve a forum of they\'re own. PS2 should, like it\'s predeccesor be the RPG king, but at the moment, it seems less than likely.
