Games today just don't have you spend hours (like days overall!) in char creation just to get the perfect roll. You don't suffer party wipe because of the bloody weather or finding an effing wolf 2 feet from Candlekeep.
It's "fair" to new players, ha! to hells with that! I was a new player godssdammit when I got our arses handed to us by fecking Xvarts for effs sake!
Kids today (yeah, i'm that old!) don't know what a game effing you over really feels like, and we liked it and beat the game anyway (about a decade later in my case! you really got your moneies worth!).

But hey! At least I got better after a very long learning curve. X] And I am not even (that?) young (? I am 27).
