Writing an RPG using C# and XNA in 3D
The question is definitely noob, but since it appears so often on the web, I would like to put everything together in one place.
I suggest that you start with what you need to learn to write this, along the way I will ask questions that interest me at a certain stage. I hope that the sensei will help to understand this issue once and for all. Perhaps I'll start the list, I'm waiting for practical advice on where to go, what to study and other tips. Please do not write negative responses that do not carry the semantic load.
- C#
- Creating a concept document (everything that will describe the gameplay)
Let's say I know C# (in fact, I'm not familiar with C++ at a super level, but I know something + I read " CLR via C#" in Russian).
There is a certain idea for an RPG, a certain story, ideas, etc.
What now? I mean, even knowing all this, I have little idea how it should be written. More or less I understand that there should be separate engines, but neither how to do it I have no idea how exactly it should interact. Maybe there is some kind of programming pattern here? If so, tell me the name.

And if you are not familiar with C# - read in parallel with the study of XNA book: Herbert Schildt, " The Complete Guide to C#" - it's easy to find and download, search for we need the latest issue for 2011. It describes the C# language in a good accessible way, with examples on each topic.
