RPG's are for people who like story. Playing a good RPG can be like reading a book when it's done right. Personally, I like them because they offer choice and the ability to influence what happens in the game.
Linear stories are good once, maybe twice, but a decent RPG can be replayed over and over just to see how all of the different options play out.
Dragon Age bored me too, but thats because its an RPG that isnt done right. Try MMORPG, like Guild Wars 2, is coming out next year. Also, cheese doesn't stink.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
