In my opinion, games with established characters aren't RPGs at all. How the hell am I supposed to role play some character with their own personality, background, story, and thoughts? As opposed to making your own in a Bethesda game that actually truly allows you to role play anyone.
Nothing wrong with games with established characters, but calling them RPGs is simply nonsensical to me.
