"Can you set your hair on fire and headbutt the troll?"  I have yet to
see any CRPG that was more than a statfest.

But I did see a better quote about CRPGs.  It went something along the
lines of:  "Computer games have as much in common with tabletop games as
inflatable dolls have with sex.  The one's nothing like the other, but
for some people, it's enough."
