5 RPG mechanics I wish more games would use

RPGs are known for their lore, depth, and rich options regarding playstyle and customization. While the genre has its share of staple mechanics you'll frequently encounter, there are a number of features that deserve more attention. Specifically, players should have access to options that allow them to do as they please, be it for better or worse. That’s not necessarily suggesting you should be discouraged from committing certain actions or playing a particular way, but a good RPG should make you feel something and that your decisions/actions carry weight.
