For the groups that I have played with over the years it is about exploring a setting. Setting can mean limitations on choices (PC races, classes, spells, monsters that exist, etc.) (In my opinion, this is a requirement for an interesting game/setting).  This also means establishing the deities of the setting ahead of time if the setting has deities.  From our view, with the establishment of deities come restrictions on those classes that represent them (clerics, paladins, invokers, holy warriors, etc). The deities should be restricted to specific domains and have certain interests and causes.  The interests and causes should place requirements on clerics and paladin in the form of tenets and doctrine while the domains should limit spell access and abilities like turn undead and healing.  A player that can't handle that has the freedom to play another available class. YMMV.</blockquote>
