re: Is the single player RPG dying?

I didn't say all of their games were good but they put out The Elder Scrolls series which has been one of the best in my lifetime.

I think Bethesda has a serious problem with character design and story-telling. But yeah, good games.

I disagree and my point is that some of the companies that USED to put out quality single player RPGs appear to be moving to the MMORPG model.

As already mentioned KOTOR III was canceled for a MMORPG and Elder Scrolls may be a MMORPG.

Now, there may still be plenty of Japanese RPGs but I can't stand their linear emo nature anymore.

Fair enough. But if you take Bioware at their word, which I do unlike most other developers, the MMO will have more than enough single-player elements for your liking. You'll still have to pay a subscription fee to access them though, obviously. I'm not into MMOs either, but I don't blame Bioware for wanting to try their hand at one. They weren't even interested in making KOTOR II and passed it off to Obsidian, much less a third installment.
