About half the reason I dislike RPGs is because they’re usually obtuse games that are hard to get into. The other half is because of the hardcore RPG snobs who act like not liking hard games makes you a worse person.
I wouldn’t want to go near Fallout 1 or 2 because I don’t like turn-based RPGs. I like 3, NV and 4 because they aren’t turn-based RPGs, but still have enough RPG elements to make them satisfying to play.

Being different to what you are used to doesn't make something obtuse. The RPG genre has degenerated into action-adventure + leveling. I feel like too many people try out old RPGs expecting something similar and then encounter a traditional element (like turn-based combat) and write the game off as a defective action-adventure game.
For the record, I don't think for a modern AAA game turn-based combat is appropriate. I can enjoy both.
