I would consider The Sims series to qualify. When playing The Sims 3, I tend to have one particular character that I am mostly invested in. Sometimes, that character may even be a representation of myself. The characters, who dwell within either a pre-made or custom-built house, can interact with others, along with gaining skills and different positions of many careers, which implies a roleplaying game to me.

Disliking a character is not a sign of moral turpitude.
