Q&A: Feargus Urquhart, Part One - PC News at GameSpot: "FU: I would say that the depth is different. Many console RPGs focus more on story and less on side quests. The best way I could put it is that console RPGs have a much more developed central story with the rendered sequences and detail to reinforce it, while PC RPGs tend to be broader with a shallower central story. In other words, a console RPG is more like a movie, while a PC RPG is more like a playground."
