I dont recall this topic actually being discussed and thought it was an interesting topic to get our points across, personally for me a great RPG contains the following:
1. Storyline (unless its an ARPG i dont really care, skip to point 2)
2. Mass enemies/mobs
3. Varying difficulty, areas level up as you level up but only so far and if you push on very early you should be rewarded (not penalised, like getting 5xp instead of 1000xp because its 10 levels higher)
4. Challenging Quests, requiring you do actually look for items (explore) or carry certain things, kill quests are good but i like a mix of everything not just mass kill this then this etc
6. Crafting, making weapons armour and potions all the works, I like searching for materials and making the ultimate gear. It would be nice to incorporate this into some quests as well
7. Huge landscapes, i love exploring so i really prefer more dynamic/different areas and not just straight up duplicates (filler areas).
8. Skills that involve AOE and everything else, the game must have a spell caster class... Diablo 2 was the best IMO with the sorc using blizzard it just felt brilliant and higher levels
9. Graphics, i would rate graphics much higher than in this list as its a killer for getting you into a game, like Diablo 2 i would never play it now if it wasnt for me playing it many moons ago when those graphics were solid so i got into it. Great looking landscapes and skills along with your character really can help enjoy the game.
10. Being able to do 'runs' to level up, i like facing an epic challenge and i somehow get enjoyment out of repeating the area to get to a level where i can fight the next boss, like Diablo when doing tomb runs, that also means for me the levels must work that they all respawn when you rejoin.(im probably alone on this point
).
11. CO-OP, i believe this adds endless hours of gameplay but this is really for the ARPG genre but if you have games like dragon age i believe it would fit it, however games like the witcher it wouldnt.
12. Singleplayer - Offline, is how it should be, multiplayer is obviously online and i would like a LAN option as that is great at events/lan parties.
How would your list differ?
The Poll is simply the main thing, i.e the top of your list but then please elaborate with whatever you want in a post, maybe something like a list
.
(PS: Eventually your ideas may be used for a future project developed in 2020...).
