When japanese copied western rpgs didn;t they realize there was more to the genre than just stats, gear and dialogue?

Art imitates life. Gooks have no real freedom in their day to day so why would they imagine it in their escapism?

None of your choices matter in the long run of a western RPG as your DM is going to make sure you fucking morons aren't going to fuck up his campaign any more than you already have.

There was no dialog in RPGs back then.

There wasn't back then. Not just regarding CRPGs, but D&D 1st ed was nothing but a dungeon bashing boardgame.

Perhaps in the earliest version of OD&D when it was still a expansion for Chainmail, but certantly not in the eighties when vidya RPGs began to be developed in earnest. By that time you already have AD&D, Basic Roleplaying, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Traveller and so on.
