Yeah we definitely can't trust years old mentions of rolling. I would like it as an option, I would be fine with restrictions like "can't be used for MP characters", there were all sorts of house rules on multiplayer BG/BG 2 games way back when with people setting limits on the total point spend etc. I can see the argument for a coded limitation or option for one when hosting a MP game. In singleplayer I think it should be an option, I'm sure we won't get Troika-style super-low int conversation options if they're using the standard point buy rules but personally I like rolling stats in the tabletop version as it makes for more diverse/interesting stat lines.
My gut feeling is that no word either way means we might see rolling for stats, but it's a low priority so they've not come out and said yes or no because the devs themselves haven't made the final call to add it at launch/patch it in/drop it completely.
