Created this page as a stub. Text taken from the Computer role-playing game article. Titles and companies that should be treated:

Proposed structure (loosely):
Any thoughts? -- SevereTireDamage 07:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
"Xbox" section is ridiculous. RPGs have appeared on many home consoles, and nobody would claim the Xbox to be a bastion for RPGs. Should be generalized to all home consoles, or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.68.47 ( talk) 18:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
We should group the headers choronologically as well as thematically. Something like (years and rubrics from the top of my mind, many years will very likely be wrong):

I've added information about the games of Obsidian, Bethesda, Bioware and Troika to the new millenium part. I know it says little about the games themselves, but the black isle developers have been instrumental in these milestone games, and someone can expand with more information about the games themselves and their inventions and breaktroughs. Maybe some information about the fusing of pen-and-paper rulesets (like d20) to crpg's can be added. -- Ifrit 11:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I think this section should be removed, as there already is an article on the subject ( History of MMORPGs). I also don't see the influence of online RPGs on CRPGs in general. SharkD 12:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
A genre cannot be defined by platform, and as such the terms "Console" and "Computer" RPG are not well applied. What's worse, there really are no other absolute conventions that could be used to distinguish these schools of design, only vague, often broken "tendancies." There are different styles of RPG but they are not as broad as "console and computer" or even "eastern and western".
Anyone trying to write a history of this genre that cannot acknowledge that Ultima is the same genre of game as Phantasy Star and Dragon Quest is lying to themselves. Computer and console RPGs have a deeply intertwined history and trying to write a history of only one or the other is going to result in a really crappy article.
If no one has any compelling objections, I'm going to move this to History of video and computer role-playing games and include it to discuss trends of influence across platforms and continents. 67.85.188.212 ( talk) 04:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Image:Fallout2-reactor.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Baldursgate1.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
The following images also have this problem:
