I have to disagree here.  The system *never* made the role playing or
the story.  It's just as good using Fudge or MERP or GURPS or D&D 2, 3
or 4th edition.

The story and the roleplaying depend on the game master and the players.

GURPS does help by giving players disadvantages and quirks as hints to
roleplaying their character, but honestly, its just as much fun
roleplaying a haughty elf or a greedy dwarf with a fake Scottish accent,
a big axe and a bigger attitude.
