Are there any alien RPGs, were your charecter is an alien?
Dota 2 if you consider some of the heroes, like morphling, he is an alien, but if you mean sci-fi, then Star Trek online or Star Wars mmorpg's maybe. Or Mass effect could count.
Dota isn't even remotely an RPG
The only games I can think of where you play as an alien were the "Destroy all Humans!" games.

I'd say it is, you level up, improve skills and stats, buy new gear, how is it NOT an rpg?
What kinds of classes would an RPG with aliens have? And what skills would those classes have?

It's a MOBA, not an RPG.
The only "role" that you're "playing" in this "game" is top mid or bot :P

:/ people be gettin technical and shiz
Because Dota isn't about your hero.
It's about working with the other heros to destroy your enemy's towers and base.
There is a lot more to Dota than "leveling up my hero and giving him items".
A lot more.

yes I know this, but I'm saying that it is an rpg because that is part of the game. It is also a strategy game, and a very fun one at that. But this thread is not about whether or not Defense of the Ancients 2 classifies as an RPG, it's about RPGs with aliens. I can't say that I've played any RPGs with aliens recently, but I know that there definitely are some. Now, do you mean offline or online RPGs? Or does it matter?
