To anyone in the know, did TSR release a DnD game, or one like it?
I think Elder Scrolls games have an invisible ward around them that repels FPS, Sports or GTA type gamers. .

I really don't think luck has anything to do with it. If Renegader just tossed the site up then sat back and did nothing more, I might believe more in the 'luck' theory. He has not just sat back to see how it would evolve. He's continued to pay attention and be responsive to the membership. I think that goes a long way toward the cohesiveness of the membership as a whole. I think the membership feels that the administration here is accessible and genuinely interested in what they have to say (positive and negative).
I also believe that many of our anchor members, those who post frequently and engage with everyone in the shoutbox (including interacting with guests to the site) are perceived as actual human beings with personalities as opposed to a smattering of pixels. It is easy to be a jerk to a bunch of pixels.
I don't think this forum will become less mature over time. I've been here for a while and the overall atmosphere of the community hasn't changed. I assume Nexus and official Skyrim forums absorb all the trolls and kids for us. ahahaha. Probably not but that's my theory.

Not that I haven't wasted enough time on GTA myself, but there's something about a game where even when you get mugged they say 'please hand over you valuables' that most fans of the franchise will label as 'gay' or something similarly uncouth, and never touch again.

I think this is a very sad statement. Many people enjoy many different types of games. To single out FPS, Sports, or "GTA" Players is to exhibit the same prejudice that us "Mature gamers" detest.
This kind of attitude is elitism, and at it's heart is the outlook that generates the multitude of stigmas associated with other games; regardless of genre.
You think wrong.
I play FIFA 12 and some FPS (not the COD franchise), but also like RPGs. My favourite game ever is Fallout 3. What do you think characterises "FPS, Sports or GTA type gamers"?
OK I didn't explain that well. Don't take it so personally As I said, I played plenty of those games myself. GTA is a fun open world game too.
Regardless of genre, by those gamers I meant one of two things or both:
1) gets very excited at living out all sorts of anti-social fantasies, whether it's 'just to see what it looks like hehe it's not real' or release of pent-up anger or frustration in real life neither reason is mature, or particularly healthy for that matter.
2) has a brief attention span, can't stand anything but constant action. all games balance between the use of reflexes and the use of mind. this guy is all about the reflexes.
This type of gamer is not going to put in hundreds of hours into Skyrim I don't think. So he'll never make it to this forum either. Thus there won't be as much confrontation here as you'd expect on a video game forum, to get back on to topic.
Well, theres no auto-aim, but dual cast fireball is pretty close to a rocket launcher.I must say there are times I REALLY miss a rocket launcher and Auto-Aim in Skyrim!
