"Rolling for stats" in a videogame equates basically to beg the player to take few minutes to exploit the system.

Why should anyone settle for "point buy" when you can get consistently higher numbers across the board (that basically ignore racial restrictions too) by taking four-five minutes to reroll a bunch of dices?
Creating powerful exploitative characters is part of the fun in RPGs to me. I hate average or balanced.
To compensate I usually play in the highest difficulty setting though.
