It is, seriously, quite interesting that Larian Studios decided to give us the points and we decide how to spend them rather than a forced distribution such as the 15, 10, 10, 10 set. This means that we could have 45 or 60 points to distribute and two or four skills to select, which is basically the identical state of starting DD but with much greater freedom due to the obvious absence of classes.

While we are at it, if I choose a male character, I hope I shall not be forced to choose a hair style and colour as I would like to create a bald battle mage.

Since our primary choice shall be based on gender and age (kid) like with the SIMS, I recall that we could define the character by yet some other status points related to the game engine. In our case with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> it would be nice if could distribute some points on aggressiveness, caution, perseverance and body style, such as heavy bones and huge muscles versus acrobatic and swift style. I wouldn’t mind if I could input the weight and height of my character.
