What Mumbles says about Skyrim here? My big problem with sooooo many games (including every MMO ever).
Doing the same task with different class mechanics doesn't roleplaying make. Having a different character, being reacted to as is appropriate to that character, choosing to approach problems in a completely different way, or even choosing to say "To heck with this quest, I'm going to do something else!" ...that's roleplaying. Which is why no matter how pretty they get, almost every computer RPG fails at actually being a RPG.
