It seems to me we need another review then.
Personally i take RPG as a game where you can develope and shape the character in the way you please. And that is what you do in Diablo. Sure there are limitations to it and to what extent you can actually shape your character. It's not like in Morrowind or maybe UW where you can basically define the character through gameplay. Here much is predefined, but there is still a lot is left for you to define. example you are limited by spells and alike for example for sorceress. but it is still your choice if she will be skilled in fire, ice or lightning. in that way you can shape the character. you can also choose the equipment you will cary. and since space is limited you have to again give a personal touch to it. will it be the staff weilding expert or maybe the sword is weapon of choice etc.
It's a role, you play it and it's a game - RPG.
