I'm not a big fan of Bethesda games, but it wasn't bad at all.
To me an RPG is a game where your character improves by leveling up as the story progresses. It used to be very clear cut, but developers have figured out that the character improving formula keeps the gamers playing the game for longer and enjoying it more in the process (by providing a reward system for advancing through the story). So, now, you can see that shit in FPS, sports, adventure and strategy games.
Some games, definitely have more/heavier RPG elements than others and there are true RPG games where you actually ROLE PLAY and I think that's the games Ceej is referring to. Borderlands is definitely not one of those games. Borderlands is pretty much a watered down FPS version of Diablo with less loot options and a shitty story.
