What draws me to RPGs are the stories - the ability to explore new worlds where the impossible can be achieved. I like being able to create characters that have the opportunity to be something greater in their unique settings - to be heroic, evil, selfish, flawed, altruistic - all of the familiar qualities, but in brilliant combinations that flourish in-game.

They seemed like the natural progression following the decline of the early nineties Lucasarts Graphic Adventures. Plus, a wealthy background in PnP RPG.

Because I want to be a wizard, and some other reasons.

I like games with an engaging story, and good character development where the game rewards you as you progress. RPGs usually deliver better than any other genre on those fronts IMO.

What I like about RPGs are the certain freedoms they offer, as well as the characters and how they shape up the story. Playing an RPG is sometimes like directing a movie. You have this character, whom you customize yourself. You direct how this character acts towards allies, enemies or civilians, and the choices whom she/he makes which leads to certain consequences thus the story will be shaped in accordance with these consequences. I like the ability to customize my character and interacting with the followers of the said character. One of the things I really like about BioWare games are the followers. They make the story fulfilling and interesting. These, among other things I haven't mentioned, balanced together is what makes me like RPGs.

Different reasons for different RPG's. What I care for most is a great story, great characters, a great lore for the world, exploration, character customisation, alot of side quests, choices to be made (like dialogue choices so I feel I am actually having real influence over the game), and alot of game time. Playing games like Mass effect, Kotor, Dragon age or the Elder scrolls or the Fallout series offer alot for me to do, making my money feel well spent.

Because I love a complete, fleshed out story with memorable characters. And more importantly I love creating a unique character with an equally unique personallity.

RPGs allow me to shoot lightning at people.

Also, creating your own character, shaping a story, exploring the world, enteraining/appealing companions, and all the rest of that business. But especially the lightning thing.

I like RPGs for the reasons of exploration, defying physics, the suspense in risk taking, the uncertainty that awaits in venturing into wondrous and perilous journeys. The unveiling story of how my choices affect the lives of those I meet inside each world and according to how I construct myself, how I fit positionally in each location of that world and how I benefit from it all.

The only games I truly feel connected to are ones where I have some control over who the protaganist is. It needs to feel like my story. The more control I get over who my protaganist is, the more tied I feel. Having a character I create interact and form relationships with the game world I'm playing in is my favorite thing to do in gaming.

This. Even if a game is not designed to be a role-playing game, I can enjoy a game a lot if the character is practically mine. But RPGs are my preference, of course.

I like RPGs (doesn't matter if it's JRPGs or WRPGs) because I like the kind of imersion where I create and name my own character, make my own choices, experience character interaction, questing, and exploring.

I enjoy the BioWare style of RPGs the most due to the character interaction via the conversation system, but RPGs tend to be lengthier games with solid stories. I don't always love the gameplay in RPGs in comparison to other genres but I generally find the narrative can trump my gripes in that regard.

This. I think you have said what I wanted to say perfectly. I enjoy the characters, character interactions (especially BioWare's), long, deep and epic stories, customization, choices, sometimes exploration etc. I am also not a fan of some of the gameplay in RPGs too (example, sometimes combat), but everything else that an RPG can offer makes up for it.

The ability to define who my character is, the making narrative choices that feel important, and RPGs tend to have the more engaging stat/build mechanics compared to other genres.

[HoonDing]

Exploring, killing enemies, gathering loot, leveling up.

[bmwcrazy]

Because I like to blow stuff up.

[RPGamer13]

Gaining XP
Leveling Up
Damage Values (the higher the better)
Turn-Based Combat
Stats determining hit/miss ratio
Cool Outfits (of which Bioware's games are lacking)
Obtaining better weapons and armor

Because it's like watching a movie or reading a book, only I get to decide who my character is and how the story progresses (in other words, it's better). I also like them for the same reason I like writing and PnP RPGs; I get to inhabit other characters, get inside their minds (sometimes), see the world (and other worlds) through another set of eyes. I get to do things and visit places and meet people I never would nor could in reality.
Also, I like filling bars

Add a good story to this equation and it works for me.

[bussinrounds]

Different rpgs for different reasons.

Examples - I'd play Planescape:Torment for the story/writing/dialog, I'd play Temple of Elemental Evil for the combat.
