What was the first successful RPG on the PC? The Answer is the adaptation of REF's Kronodor Series (Or however u spell it). I've read quite a bit of his stuff through the years and, although it's not the most indepth, "Care about the characters" type of story, I found myself idlying flipping the pages in interest. The obscene thing about REF is that he almost distances the reader from the character. Hell most of his books reads like a video game more than an actual novel, which is refreshing because he gives no false pretences about trying to make a "Chracter Driven Story." In this, it's almost like he's trying to be more like the Scifi genre. His Kronodor (Again, spelling :P) Series reads like quests. At most points in the story, the main character would meet someone, get a questlike tale, then go to a place, fight monsters, then get an important clue! Sound like a quest to you?

If anything, I found it fun and refreshing from the emotional moshpit which seems to be what i normally delve into. Maybe that's why REF's Betrayl at K, was the first award winning RPG on the PC.
