As I said, it's not impossible to come up with new ideas... Faery Tale
Adventures 2 (combat system), Diablo 2 (randomness and creation of items)
and Shattered Light (mud-like features) spring to mind
Not to mention Arcanum, the RPG where you can play either with the "magic"
side or the technological" side (fireball vs sniper rifle! summon demon vs
Tesla rod!)

ever played any pre-win95 RPG, they'll probably disagree with me completely
Which reminds me of another interesting topic... why so many computer games
