I do this for old RPGs since a bad spec basically means you're fucked and have to restart. For example planescape torment basically only has 1 good build and its a narrative game anyway so wanted to experience the story unimpeded. Fallout 1 has some super wrong builds you can do.
But yeah sure for modern RPGs its hard to softlock them like old ones so there I apply cool factor instead. Modern RPGs are cool cos I can actually roleplay what I want rather than have to adhere to a games completely broken and obtuse mechanics.
