Since we're TES fans and many of us probably like other RPGs as well, I thought it'd be interesting to talk about them in general. Namely, kind of RPG aspects do you consider the most important? Is there any game you'd say is your perfect RPG, or would such game have to include different elements from different games?

For example, I'm action-oriented in games in general, so combat and skill-wise, I prefer Skyrim's rather simplified system. When it comes to character creation, I prefer to have as much freedom as I can. I dislike it when my characters have predefined backstories, I like imagining something I've come up myself. When it comes to dialogs, choices and interactions, I like it more when there's no obvious black-and-white morality and when your dialog choices influence at least some future ones (kind of like in Dragon Age Inquisition, for example, the part where you chose to be religious or not). And of course, I like it when there's a lot of exploration of the game world.
