yes yes, and by the same token diablo is like that..with leveling up and specifying abilities/attributes for your character
but the ability to hit and run and perform actions in realtime is why i say its more "diablo style"......which is what still holds true regardless of whether you consider that style like an rpg or not

besides......you cant argue that Final fantasy and NWN are so vastly different that they belong in different genres, can you? when newer ideas and innovations enter the gaming industry, then newer genres are created......why dont you RPG fanboys accept this and allow the vastness of your genre to split into 2 groups as well?
