<chuckle> You remind me of a gamer we once had in our tabletop RPG
games, who similarly didn't like all the 'talking and play-acting' the
rest of us indulged in. They wanted us to focus more on the fighting,
the loot, and the leveling up.

 
I'm not  sure how I would react to tabletop gaming, I never did it.
 
As for modern games, I think some of these developers would rather be
making movies then games. <shrug>

The issue is of course that a lot of modern games (even non-rpg ones)
are very much inspired by those very story-driven and otherwise mechanical
eastern style crpgs (think Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior) that
became popular in the 90s. It's a different approach to roleplaying
games, although the DNA still is in there. Somewhere.
