The real question - as always - is about multiplayer. Nobody cares what you do in a single player game. However stat rolling could be a huge problem for Multiplayer unless they implement it RAW. Although frankly I think point buy is the far superior system.
The sense I get is that people want to endlessly just roll stats forever until they get the perfect ones, like Bg1-2 let you do. I think for some people they will just do that, make 4 characters, play for 5 minutes, then make 4 more characters repeat ad nauseum...
