I don't think that "your decisions affects later gameplay/story" or "only one way to go" or "fixed story" or are a valid points for making something RPG or not.
GAMES LIKE WARCRAFT 3 LEGION FULL
We have full 100% RPG in the custom maps, yea, sure.īut we also have Racing, Naval Simulators, First Person Shooters, Horror, Mini-games and many more. I'll start with a few "I don't think this applies" statements. I truly wish to consider Warcraft 3 an RPG because of its great story (and other things) but some technicalities that may or may not be true are making me question it. The problem with taking the role in destroying Quel'Thelas is that its or mission and yes you can get into the story of you being the big bad dude but in the end you don't "role play" but instead Cut scenes and the story does it for you (I'm saying this as a devils advocate) If you want to let's say roleplay that Arthas didn't get a Orb of Fire from the Dwarves in Black Rock'N'Roll it won't really matter because either it isn't mentioned in the lore or gets conned over with the official results.
Since nothing you do in the game (at least in campaign) has any effect later on in the story besides having items carried over that don't influence the story in any way.
I believe that an RPG entangles someone with immersion in a game like you said, but apparently when you compare this warcraft 3 rpg to proper rpg games that aren't strategy (text, adventure, etc), then Warcraft 3 doesn't have many options or no options at all to be considered an RPG like Chaosy said "too scripted". Yeah that is my thought process, or at least was before today.
