What is your favorite type of RPG? Turn based, Tactical, or Action?

I love RPG's. They are the most enjoyable video games to play. And a lot of people love them. But to all the RPG fans which type of game do you enjoy more?

I enjoy all three but on a different level.

When it comes to turn based Final Fantasy 3 (SNES) was my first exposure then Breath of Fire then my favorite Mario RPG.

Then I moved to tactical games with Fire Emblem. But my favorite right now is Warhammer Quest on the The Switch. I know it is pretty damn repetitive but I have drained hours and hours into that game. I enjoyed these much more because they gave more freedom and was fun to plan strategy with the different characters.

I have recently been trying my hand at Action Rpgs, Diablo 3, Skyrim, BotW, and Titan Quest. I am loving these. Running around a large map interacting with hit. Chopping down hordes and hordes of bad guys and monsters. I cant get over just how vast Skyrim and BotW are! I have Witcher 3 but havnt started it yet.

I would say out of all of these I enjoy exploring the open world of Skyrim and BotW but for over all game play and fun I enjoy the Tactical games a lot more. I can play for hours and hours with out getting over whelmed.

So which type of RPG do you enjoy the most and why?

My favorite type of RPGs, using examples, are Baldur’s Gate and Shining Force. I do like games like Skyrim but I prefer the aforementioned games.

Turn based > Action > Tactical in that order. Tactical is my least favorite as these games tend to overwhelm you with options. I have enough going on with my positioning having a greater role than a standard RPG.

action easy choice for me, lot of fun with diablo, marvel heroes, etc. I like the more fluid combat, and the more exploration/story the better

Pretty hyped for the upcoming releases like Corepunk, the western version of Lost Ark and The Ascent

I like the older Star Wars D20 system.

I like the latest DnD system.

I really, really like fate core (Atomic Robo FTW).

Stuffed Fables and Mice & Mystics have been my favorite turned based systems. Stuffed Fables dice bag pool mechanic is my favorite new dice play I have seen in years.

I guess tactical? I'm not familiar enough with the games provided as examples so I'm not sure.

Assassin's Creed, particularly since Origins, is my favorite. I can spend hours figuring out how to take out a heavily guarded place without a anyone ever knowing I was there. I have only managed it twice, but it's a fun strategy.

Tried what I think is action (Avengers) and couldn't get further than the first Iron Man mission. Just boring.
