I'd say modern day games are less RPG because of the lazy approach to levelling. Fallout 4 you can become master of everything, skyrim too. It's just silly. Witcher 3 dances along that line finely as well but in my first play through I hadn't even unlocked a third of all abilities and you can never equip more than 9 anyway. There is purpose to starting over and trialling different play styles.
Coming from a pen and paper background there needs to be more depth in RPG's. I miss class systems.

If Dark Souls 3 is like the previous ones it's not a true class system. Just a rough starting point.
Same with Oblivion etc. Morrowind had a bit more of a starting impact because of your race and star sign pics etc, but you could still level the other aspects. None are true class systems and there is little incentive to start over playing as someone else besides aesthetics.
Think Baldur's Gate etc where it was based on DnD, who you started as directly influenced your play style throughout the rest of the game.
