What is an Organic RPG? Crusader Kings, Star Wars Outlaws, Stellaris and to the nemesis system, the Shadow of Mordor series.
— A non-RPG game that forces the player into roleplaying their character, i.e: make decisions and arrangements that are reacted by in-Universe consequences and characters.
Example:
In Star Wars Outlaws (2025), which is not an RPG, you are hired to investigate and bust a scheme of rigged farther jockey races by the Hutt syndicate. Through investigation, you discover that the Pykes have a mole in the jockey races and they tip off a random citizen that then earns the money betting and gives them their share. By the end of this questline, you are offered a chance to expose the scheme to the Hutts or take part in it, as offered by the Pykes.
If you stay true to your word and give the data to the Hutt clients, the Pyke syndicate is severely antagonized, and Pyke occupied areas become hostile to you, most of their vendors won't want to sell to you, they won't help you during space travel or quests, etc. But you are allowed to make ammends with the Pykes, by searching an in-game intermediary who is still willing to talk to you, and who allows you to hand over to the Pykes data about imperial activity and rival syndicates. You are also given opportunities to betray other syndicates to benefit the pykes, and so on.
This makes the player actually roleplay as a scoundrel juggling the various interests and people of the galaxy, and is effectively an RPG system creating an organic story.
There is no script. There is barely any dialogue choice. It is just you becoming your character to obtain in-Universe advantages, and living unscripted adventure stories.

Someone with sufficiently high IQ will be able to play any genre and make it an RPG
Someone with sufficiently low IQ will be able to play any game RPG and make it not an RPG

In Age of Decadence combat is difficult, and if you haven't invested in combat skills you don't stand a chance. This makes playing as a fighter actually interesting because you can kill enemies who are impossible to kill in non-violent playthroughs.

>ORGANIC RPG IS LE CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES! JUST WITH LESS DIALOGUE!
This is how faggotized you sound. You also have the gall to present your Bethesda-coded normgroid take as a revolutionary opinion. Stick to products meant for modern audiences, like “Star Wars: Outlaws” (lmao), and never touch an actual cRPG like Baldur’s Gate.

If you aren't allergic to AI, Skyrim with the Skyrimnet mod. It is janky, but it will fit the bill. You will have to suspend disbelief and use your imagination sometimes.
I've found it fun, but have been so far unable to get the characters to not speak in ChatGPTese. NPCs will tend to reply to you with "X or Y" questions and won't voluntarily end conversations. It's really annoying.

OP is not wrong. Most tabletop DnD these days is 5000-page backstories with either stat munching or theater of the mind crap.If you make them engage with things like exploration and survival mechanics (so they have to bring out ranger) a la Tolkien they'll shit themselves
