To them it means "We have stats and XP", and recently "We have interactive dialogue where you can choose what your character says". Having story or gameplay reactivity to what he says is still too much of a stretch for them.I'm surprised at this point that anyone on RPG Codex still believes that it matters, at all, either way, when a developer says this. Jokes aside, the term has become truly meaningless in the industry.
thinking this signifies anything.
This is true, but we should mention that the player stats and XP are latched onto action games exactly in order to reinforce an already weak gameplay. Stats and XP don't serve to progress your character or require the player to consider different paths for progression, but are instead used as simple gamification techniques intended to motivate the player to stay with the game a bit longer after he has been bored by the core gameplay. It's the same with achievements.
Partially agree. I would like to play some PnP with distinguished company, but simply don't have the time or the distinguished company for it.

Right on schedule
Of course, because we can't simulate real people yet. In my experience you can't simulate even the simple satisfaction of rolling a dice and moving a figurine on the board by clicking and moving objects on the screen. It's a different feeling when you have the figurine in your hand.

For that to be true, you would have had to convince somebody.
Yeah but that was chick protagonist demo, why not show up with the male demo gameplay?
Not entierly true, journos reported on some additional details like the new weapon demonstrated, the retarded MGS2-style katana with protective EMP field. Besides, that chick is intolerable.
That dude is right though. Even Gothic 1 from 2001 allowed me to sit down. In fact as much as I like TW3, I disliked removal of some of the immersion enhancers, like seeing Geralt actually drink a potion or being able to sit in a tavern.
Why hitting the 'open game menu' button/key when you can ride all the way to a tavern to pause the game?
