the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Why are people listing character creation? That's actually a fairly newer thing in RPGs.

-Experience Points-Level Progressions-Quest-based story-Characterization-Degrees of customization-Going though subplots to eventually conclude a central story-Controlling one or more characters with different attributes with different combat effectivenesses-Usually involves a strong story
What a lot of people have been bringing up is the self-insertion aspect. Though it could be argued (tenuously) that Halo is an "RPG" because you take the role of Master Chief, the Master Chief is a pre-established character with all his own backstory and personality traits ready-made.Whereas with modern true RPGs, there's a heavy emphasis on putting you, the player, into the story. Rarely in a true RPG is the main character anything but a completely blank slate for the player to impose his or her own identity upon, for the sake of immersion, and, well, role-playing.
Bungie purposefully made the Chief a blank slate with the personality of a brick for self insertion purposes though

Rarely in a true RPG is the main character anything but a completely blank slate for the player to impose his or her own identity upon, for the sake of immersion, and, well, role-playing.I think that's probably the core defining feature of the modern RPG. It's not just role-playing—it's the emphasis on role-playing. I think everything else is just stuff we've merely associated with the genre, but aren't necessarily key.
