StingingVelvet: I'm a singleplayer guy and have bought MMOs for the story/exploration before. It can be fun for a while but eventually the emptiness of the quests just makes the grind unbearable. I do wish more singleplayer RPGs had that kind of scope and exploration focus though. Not many outside of Bethesda do anymore.

Kingdoms of Amalur and Dragon Age Inquisition are probably the most MMO-style singplayer games I've played.

Elmofongo: Not only that I wish for Single player RPGs to have other content like big focus on Classes and Races and factions you join with.

Like World of Warcraft has the "Starting zones" for each different Race in the game which sometimes can give you a radically different experiance.

The closest RPG that tackled that is Dragon Age: Origins with the different "Origins" part.
This reminds me of something seen in the SaGa series. In Ronancing SaGa, you have a choice of 8 main characters, and the start of the game is different depending on who you pick. There are other little differences during the game as well. Romancing SaGa 3, to my understanding, is similar.

SaGa Frontier took it a step further; you have 7 characters to choose from, and the *entire* game is different depending on who you choose. Each character even has their own final dungeon and final boss (which each final boss having a unique music track). It's as though there's 7 different games on one CD.

(I'd actually like to see some indie RPGs that borrow many of the concepts of the SaGa series, which is rather unique when it comes to RPGs.)

Yeah unique content of that scope is always cool. Witcher 2 of course has a VERY different second act depending on who you side with in act one. It's hard to think of other examples on that scale.
