Is it just me or does it seem like ALL OF THE FREAKIN' RPG'S COMING OUT NOW ARE MMORG'S!!!!!

I'm one of those old traditionalists that love single player (or co-op) D&D Core rule RPG'ers like the Baldur's gate series, Fallout, the old Might and Magic series, the first Lands of Lore, (one of my favorites of all time "Planescape Torment" and NeverWinter Nights. I like using Magic and I like having Autopause options! I like tweaking stats and picking feats and skills everytime I level up! I like being able to think my way through a fight and just not slogging it out in games like Microsoft's Dungeon Siege and other crappy "Action RPG's" like it. I can't find my type of game anymore though! I hate MMORG's because there's no end to them and I like to be the hero who destroy's the big baddie and all's fair and well in the land of *insert your favorite RPG city name here*. So where the hell are the good RPG's of yore?!!? Do game companies or their investors think we're all just a bunch of friggin button pushers that just want blood flying everywhere and an enemy to slaughter every micro-second!?!? WELL WE'RE NOT! Some of us like to actually...<GASP>...use our MINDS!!!

The last game that came out that tried to recapture the style that I like was "Temple of Elemental Evil". It was fun for quite awhile until you got to the 2nd level of the temple. At that point, it was just a straight up dungeon delver and god forbid you were of good alignment because you couldn't take any of the quests from some of the dungeon denizens. SO...after being excited for the first 20 hours of so...it kinda lost it's punch.

So now i'm at a loss because everything is either an MMORG or an action/RPG which is bullcrap.

Does anybody else feel the way I do!?!?
