As we already know that defining a genre is already problematic in itself the defining factor for me would be that what I perceive as RPG mechanics simply do not have enough impact in the game.
CP is for me a FP-Action game with RPG elements because of that.
This is subjective anyways but I will engage:
Deus Ex seems to be exactly the mixture to *still* be a RPG but it's really on the edge, the RPG mechanics seem to me exactly impactful enough to be the defining factor of the game
System Shock 2 is for me a lot more on the side of RPGs
Elder Scrolls more action than RPG
Witcher 1 is an RPG the other two an action game with RPG aspects

Is Deus Ex one?
System Shock 2?
Elder Scrolls games?
Witcher games?
