Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General BG3 appeal: context, challenge or catharsis?

@Wormerine, this is very interesting, and you're correct in your interpretations. BG3 is very heavy on Catharsis first and secondarily Challenge, while hardly at all on Context. In fact, all of the things that go into the Context category are treated by Larian almost as nuisances that they have to include in the game only because they're expected in a cRPG. And of course, as you might have expected, for me the Context category is EXCLUSIVELY why I play RPGs.
