Main article: Role-playing game
In role-playing games (RPGs), players enact fictional characters and collaboratively shape a narrative. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created the first RPG Dungeons & Dragons in 1974.Players make choices for their characters, with a dungeon master adjudicating things the rules don't cover.
Video game RPGs tend to run characters through a predetermined story line. Most Final Fantasy games present a fantasy/science fiction narrative with hero's journey, while Dark Souls is known for difficult action sequences.
