Role-playing games are an all-time classic, and they have been in the headlines since the start of the gaming industry. Although RPGs were popular even before, computers revolutionized the whole scenario by providing gamers with hundreds of beautifully crafted RPGs to choose from.  

The Question is why RPGs are so popular and why you should choose an RPG over other games troubles the mind of the gamer community. This article features seven reasons to give you a better idea of why RPGs are so popular.

Experience unrealistic things

Most RPGs feature a beautiful and detailed world that you will never find in-game of any other genre. These big maps are the secret behind the success of RPGs, as players will never get tired and always got something new place to explore. The role-playing element of this genre also kicks in as your character will develop along your journey to the end of the game.

A large world means more quests and chances to get better rewards to upgrade characters, weapons, and gear. RPGs are immersive, and they grasp the total attention of gamers in time with their most lethal weapon in the beautiful universe.  

Create your dream characters

Players have the option to customize their character based on what role they will be playing in the RPG. Once they finish the game with their current character, they can go back to the start and create a new character to experience the game from a different perspective.

Changing your character impacts the game in various ways, including combat, basic attributes, physical strength, weaknesses, interaction with NPCs, and overall attitude. Your character has an impact on your in-game performance, giving a realistic touch. For RPG lovers who want to experience what real role-playing is, they should start with character customization.

With a stealth character, you will be able to execute most of the enemies stealthily to avoid direct combat while fighting all characters simultaneously, with a warrior character on the other hand. If a door is open for one character, it may be closed for another, but don’t worry, as you can reset the game anytime to start with a different character every time.  

Quests

Quests are a unique feature of RPGs that lets you experience almost all the elements of the game in an organized manner. You can take multiple quests of different categories at the same time to get their rewards. Most games feature base quests and side quests, giving you the option to only do the quest which is necessary to finish the game.

If you don’t have anything else to do, you have the option to take those side quests to get your hands on extra rewards in your free time. Developers try to give a different touch to their RPG by adding fun, dangerous, and humorous quests. Side quests usually don’t take that much of a time as they are a source of extra rewards only.  

Hours of non-stop adventure

There is a saying that Adventure and Role-Playing Games go hand in hand. Role-playing games are developed to last till the end of time, all thanks to the replayable content and new mods. With expansive and realistic locations scattered thousands of miles on the digital map, your time will be spent perfectly. The base role-playing itself isn’t very long, but the side content is there incased you fall in love with it.

RPGs are adventurous as compared to other genres, as you have control over how your character will perform in different scenarios. In one game, you will be sitting on the back of a horse fighting with ancient creatures with magical swords while blasting zombies into pieces with explosives in the next game.    

Chance to be a hero

Amazing stories

An RPG without a story will never appeal to gamers as the game story usually keeps players engaged for a long period. Some games tell us a store of an ancient world attacked by dark creatures, while other games share the story of a post-apocalyptic world where only a bunch of people are alive.

Developers use interesting stories to make gamers think that they are a part of the actual game. Every twist in the story will impact your performance, and new facts will unfold as you progress through the game. It is pretty normal for role-playing games to have multiple endings, and players will get an ending based on all the choices that they made during the game.

Combat

Although the combat in the role-playing game usually varies from game to game, the backdrop is almost the same in most games. The other content available in such games makes them different from each other. But either the combat sequence dominates the game or not, RPGs are still fun as you get a chance to fight bad guys from time to time.

Your weapon using skills and strength will improve over time, and you will be able to land better attacks on enemies. In difficult battles, you can take a friend with you to get help from them instead of going alone and getting killed. Fights put your skills to the test from time to time and provide you with valuable insights so you can improve to fight better in the next battle.

Conclusion

These reasons give us an idea that why RPGs are so popular and also predict the future that they will remain popular for a long time to come. So play an RPG to escape from the worries of the real world and spend your time enjoying the scenic world.
