Due to cultural differences in role-playing video games, there are two different types of RPGs. The first involves the player creating a character and a non-linear storyline along which the player makes his own decisions. In the second type, the player controls a party of predefined characters through a dramatically scripted linear storyline. These styles are sometimes referred to as Computer/Western RPGs and Console/Eastern RPGs respectively, although there are numerous exceptions.
- Examples of computer/Western role-playing games include: Ultima and The Elder Scrolls.
- Examples of console/Eastern role-playing games include: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
