I've never played Rogue, so my understanding of the term roguelike may be off. But I don't include the Ultima series as roguelikes. I consider those to be more true to the RPG genre. I found that my ability to complete Ultima 6, for example, had almost nothing to do with the combat ability of my party and much more to do with my ability to interact with NPCs and even do some adventure-style puzzle solving.
