Then you should've stated that, and that alone, and refrained from egging on the other angsty teenagers. You have the knowledge, but you must have the wisdom to go with it, explaining simplistic things to such a stubborn group of people in such an environment will never end in an intelligent victory, only dropping yourself to their level and thusly losing respect amung those whom would've been your equals.

You are now my bitch.

*Comes out of lurking*
For the record, Zelda only barely qualifies as an adventure game because the majority of the game is manipulating items in your inventory and if it was based soley on it's adventure gaming merits, would suck really hard; Reason being because 90% of the time that item is a key to a locked door or something similar.
Real adventure games not only involve item manipulation, but item manipulation in the form of a puzzle solving (for lack of a better description.) situation. Here are a list of real adventure games.

Space Quest 1-6
Police Quest 1-4
The Secret of Monkey Island 1 & 2
The Curse of Monkey Island
Escape of Monkey Island
Kings Quest 1 - however the hell many there are
And the Myst games.

So while Alucard is right about Zelda technicaly being Action/Aventure, the Adventure part is there only because of the remidial and uninspired item manipulation (not to insult the Zelda games, I love them just as much as anyone else.) And another reason why Zelda is NOT an RPG is because not only of it's lack of any sort of stat based battle system or leveling, but because it is also uses a real time battle system, which stands in stark contrast to the games which set the standard for role playing like AD&D Shadowrun and GURPS, which use Turn based battle systems.

Umm... there is no best anything. It's all a matter of opinion. I've already listed my favorite ones.

What are you talking about, you only get the
"Wow are you a barbarian, really?" Speech in act 2 if you are a Barb or the Paladin speil from Farah if you are a Paladin. It doesn´t matter to the outcome of the game but character development rarely ever does. You always kill the end boss and win, just by different paths.

Yes, you get perhaps two different lines in the entire game based on what class you are, and those lines rarely if ever do anything to actually develop you as a character.

PS: I believe you may have been being sarcastic but just in case you weren't I'm covering my bases.
