At the end of the day I don't care too much what the single player crowd gets up to, however I will say this - there is a compulsiveness that seems to manifest in single player games which I think is terribly unhealthy.
I have in the past observed in myself and others how stat rolling seems to feed into that compulsiveness.
-Must roll for best possible stats, even if it takes a long time.
-Must save scum to get perfect outcomes, even if I waste hours.
-Can't lose anyone in battle even if I have to replay it multiple times.
I blame self-esteem parenting. (joking)
Meanwhile my team - "Well gents, we said the wrong thing caused a race war and half of Baldur's Gate is on fire...this is fine."
For Multiplayer I would very much prefer if they stuck to point buy only, or make it an option so it can be disabled unless we all agree to it. And even then only allow x number of re-rolls.
Don't want any multiplayer lads/lasses flogging it to their own stats like some single player noob. :P
