I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you're right. I think it happened around the time every action genre starting introducing "RPG éléments" to the point that they became de rigueur.

It was only natural that RPGs themselves would borrow back from the action genres that were borrowing from them.

Anyway yeah, it's nice to see a big RPG bring just an RPG.
