Let’s use Balders Gate as an example… the majority of the really “graphic” intensive parts of the game are the cut scenes and not the actual game. So why would it need a substantial GPU? Isn’t it just playing back a prerecorded video much like a TV would? Or am I thinking of this wrong?

No, cutscenes are not video playback. They are rendered fully, since your characters appears in the cutscene with their equipped armors, unique facial designs etc, making it impossible to be a pre-recorded video. It’s real time rendered. The part about the TV requiring a GPU makes no sense. TVs are playback devices, not rendering devices. THey simply display what has been rendered on another device, like a console or PC.
