Interact with other characters? It's like writing fanfiction, but you're only in charge of one character, and you don't necessarily know where your partners are going to take it.
In my mind it's like the difference between a scripted play (fic) and an improvised show (RPG) where you're only in control of your own actions but everything else comes as a surprise.
I look at it as taking reading (specficially escapist reading) to another level. You're not just reading about some character, but you are a character in that world/story you are in. It's exploratory (usually), and that's the interesting thing about it.
If you're talking in reference to video/console games, just because a game is marketed as an RPG doesn't mean everyone actually roleplays while playing it.
