So, what was your first RPG and which elements hooked you on the genre?
For me, it was the first Fallout. Character creation was offering a lot options, but it was the element of exploration and dialogues that made me love the genre. I was really bad the first I've played it, but whenever a green circle appeared on the map (the green circle was a symbol for a visitable location) my heart jumped with a joy. They kicked me out of Junktown, wanted to kill me in Necropolis and Asylum, but still, it made me realize that this is what I want from a video game, coherent world, entertaining NPCs and quests, a lot of choices how to behave or solve the situation, good exploration element, non-linear uncovering of areas and even some parts of the story and a great leveling system that makes you look forward to each level up. I haven't played such games in quite a while If I don't count older games that I've already finished couple of times.
