How much action do you want in an RPG?

I don’t like games like ME2 as the game cannot be played like an RPG so never really care about the combat.
If the role playing is good then i don’t really mind if combat is action based or turn based.
One of my favourite games is Star Ocean: Till The End of Time as i love the combat, for me the combat is much better than the DA games, combat is turn based but it plays like action combat.

As there aren't that many "classical-like" RPG's out there, I'm quite craving for one.
So in conclusion, I'd say I don't care about action/non-action as a whole, both can be done well - besides, I gather that the core of the game remains in a certian "feel", or artistic vision rather than game-play as in combat. But as there are few of turn-based ones, and cause I tend find them better, overall, my vote goes for the turn-based RPG in general...

My standard is Fallout: New Vegas
But I don't like Skyrim.
No flameshield? You brave, brave person...
OT: I prefer TB in RPGs (or RTwP) because it allows you to get a better idea of what your up against and gives you more time to come up with the best way to deal with the situation. As a disclaimer there are plenty of action RPGS that I played that I liked (The Witcher 2 and and Fallout: New Vegas for example).

I really don't enjoy games like COD, Halo, or God of War. There just not fun. PC Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 though will always have a special place in my heart. With Bioware in the action scene, I've lost all hope in getting any new game that I can enjoy, as they were the last big company doing such games, I feel rather abandoned.
On a side note, TBS games are dead as well, only furthering my disappointment in todays game.

Anymore action i dont want,if i feel action-thirsty, i can always play God of wars, Darksiders, Brutal Legend.
Edit:
Completey agree with The58th also.
And Sid Meier's Ufo remake is coming with neat Turn based system
Or try Frozen Synapse.

As for the length of action, I'd actually rather have less fighting and more dialogue options. I liked the landsmeet in Origins, and I wish that their were more parts of RPGs that dealt with diplomatic dialogue.
Unless the game has a very tight combat system like Demon's/Dark Souls, I really hate full action games like God of War and Ninja Gaiden.

Personally if they're going to do action based combat I say do it right. Jade Empire was off to a start but it was pretty clumsy. Especially for a game heavy on martial arts. Dragon Age 2 had the right idea although the whole exploding body bits was a little too much.
I'm really liking the way they did Kingdoms of Amalur in terms of combat. Very action-y but very surreal at the same time. Dark Souls was also quite impressive in that you had to time your parries and strikes and focus on enemy weaknesses rather than button mash or rely on magic/equipment. Would've loved to see a little more flash but as is it was pretty good.
However I also liked the turn based combat of Temple of Elemental Evil as well.
So I'd say it really doesn't matter to me. :-) I like action but as far as HOW the action is done I remain open. Turn based, strategy, it's all good to me.

I have no preference. I can play and enjoy the Mass Effect series, as well as something strictly turn-based like FF5 or Mother 3. As long as it plays well, I'm pretty open as a gamer.
this. i am not picky. i like action or turn base games all the same.

There can be action in my RPG as long as there's an RPG in my RPG.
Amen to that.
Yes indeed.

I bought it during the Steam winter sale and tried it for about 20 minutes, just to make sure it was working properly. I'm sure I'm missing something, but the combat just felt like button mashing to me. There didn't seem to be any strategic aspect to it other than "press the button when the blue circle appears" and "keep pressing the button"horacethegrey wrote...

I thought Jade Empire had the potential for a really good combat system though but it kinda felt like they didn't make it all the way.
Did you ever play Rocksteady Studio's Batman Arkham City with the freeflow combat system? I mentioned in this thread on the Jade Empire board that if Bioware were to impelent a system similar to it for the sequel, then we'd have a great game indeed.
yes you can buttion smashing in Batman AC but by doing so you wont get high combo score. Without high combo score you barely are able get many experience points. To me BAC's combat concept is ideal for action rpgs, since your leveling up depends on your combat skills. The thing I found lacking in most action rpgs is the experience points you got are irrelevant to how you fight. if so, why we even need action in rpgs?
Another good example is deus ex which is another ideal case for action rpgs imo, since the expeirence points you can get are totally determined by how you are dealing with each encounter.
