Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General D&D 5E popularity

Not necessarily. Undertale, To the moon and the aforementioned PST, Age of decadence,Tides of Numenera, etc are perfectly categorized as RPG, more than many. And could have almost zero combat if you like it that way.

That said, It would be a pity if they do not make use of the fun combat in D&D5e if they make a game in the SW setting, but it would be interesting if also make use of other mechanics like the skills, the factions, the RP-oriented missions and more things that you can enjoy outside combat.
