Genre boundaries RPG with the development of the gaming industry, they blurred in space and time: if earlier the developers started from the rules and setting of tabletop role-playing puzzles, now the accumulated experience points and non-linear quests are already enough to get under the role-playing boundaries.
And, although devoted connoisseurs of “origins” and “canons” are still heated debates about who is closer to the truth, the developers invest in plot, gameplay and characters… And on the heroes (as well as on the villains) and virtual universes are held – without knights in shining armor, adventurers and even robbers, the whole atmosphere would have collapsed. But so far the gaming industry has few problems with characters – take at least the warriors: during the development of the genre RPG there will be a hundred heroes worth dating. But, if there is not enough time for experiments, then below – TOP 10 daredevils who left their mark on history!

Adam Jensen, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Series Deus Ex not a typical representative of the genre RPG – cyberpunk universe from the studio Square enix it is devoid of gnomes, overturning almost overwhelming mugs of ale in cramped taverns, wizards in robes and caps on their heads, and even the plot does not provide for a full-fledged non-linear development (it is quite possible to influence the story, but only partially). The combat system completely excludes tactical pauses or miscalculation of actions due to the rolls of the game dice, like in role-playing games – in battles you have to rely solely on reaction, cunning and accuracy of shooting.
Despite the genre contradictions, Deus Ex gave the world Adam Jensen, head of service “Sharif Industries”Who barely survived the catastrophe during his service and came back to life after long months in the hospital. Adama collected literally in parts, and some organs, bones and ligaments were completely replaced with implants. Since then, the hero takes revenge – fearlessly, uncompromisingly and continuously, only periodically interrupting to search for new modifications and update the inventory.

Survivor (Vault Dweller) Fallout series
Universe Fallout over the years of development, it has strongly reincarnated: the usual isometric world has acquired three-dimensional colors, it has become more detailed and voluminous, and the turn-based combat system has turned into a blockbuster with special effects and falling off limbs. But the visual and technical changes have had little impact on who moves the storytelling. And in Fallout 1-2, and in Fallout 3-4 and even 76, the story relies on the character, stamina and fearlessness of the “Survivor” nameless and silent character, looking for a water chip, then fighting with madmen who decided to turn political regimes in the vast nuclear wastelands.

Ebony Warrior, The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim
Unnamed characters in The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim not uncommon: developers from Bethesda often call opponents “robbers”, “thieves” or “robbers”.

Captain Shepard, Mass Effect Series
Series Mass Effect against the background of predominantly fantasy role-playing universes, it stands out for its strong attachment to sci-fi atmosphere and combat realism: the developers present battles in the style of Hollywood blockbusters – with gunfights, special effects and explosions. But the basic elements RPG in the world ME hardly violated: both the experience grows, and the plot changes depending on the decisions made, and additional abilities are provided. Yes, and there are no problems with wagering – the main character, Captain Shepard, an intergalactic protector and almost the universe’s only hope against the Reapers.
Appearance Captain Shepard the developers are allowed to partially customize (closer to the third part, even a full-fledged editor with detailed customization appeared), but the canon image will be preserved in history – with a short beard, bobbed hair and blue eyes gazing into infinity.

Cirilla, The Witcher 3
Controversy over the genre of the series The The Witcher do not stop until now: critics hang on the universe “The Witcher” shortcuts “Action “ and “Action”, and fans diligently remind about the choice and full roleplaying, about spells and the Lodge of Sorceresses, as well as about gnomes and elves, monsters and a kind of class system with runes and alchemy… The controversy is unlikely to subside anytime soon, but Cyril, “witcher”, inherited Elder Blood, will be remembered even by those who have little connection with the entertainment industry.
