>difficulty setting >RPG For what fucking reason, if I

Because a curated difficulty setting feels better than a self imposed one.

for the majority of players anyway

Because no effort casuals like to fool themselves into that they're playing an RPG for the story.

Its to make the enemies fought at your level and above your level harder, thats why its there.

I agree, difficulty in RPGs should be dynamic, not selected at game start. If you want an easier game, don't go wandering into the dragon's lair of adventurer sodomy and instead opt for the fairy forest of love and friendship. You get the easier difficulty, and the story changes accordingly.

Difficulty settings were a mistake. Terrible for game balance and usually just turns everything into damage sponges with the exact same AI and enemy setup. Games should have a well balanced standard difficulty, and add something like optional permadeath or other actual difficulty options that affect something.
