Does the c in crpg even matter? Arent all video game action rpgs crpgs?
Generally the term cRPG is used for specifically tabletop RPG-s adapted to digital realm. Action RPG-s take those classical RPG concepts and adapt them to a first- or third-person action game—basically Doom with leveling systems.
I had heard that the original Fallout/Wasteland was based on GURPS.
All I heard was a BURP.
CRPG isn't necessarily based on tabletop. It's moreso the isometric, point and click style
