Do you see the trend in games lately? Dead Space, a space horror game now leading towards being more action orientated. Resident Evil has pretty much become an action shooter game. Dragon Age turns from old-school RPG to action button-smashing RPG. These three games abandoned their roots of being what they were good at, and their ratings drop with each release.

What do you think? Am I being paranoid? Skyrim itself plays more like an action game than a RPG, though to its credit, Skyrim is more fun than Oblivion.
