I've never really understood the people who disapprove of "min/maxing." It's a single player game, what does it matter to you? Also, are power fantasies not an acceptable form of roleplay? It's always especially funny to me when things get nerfed/buffed and those types get happy about it because it screws over the "min/maxers" since they're supposed to be the ones that don't care about stats, so why celebrate something you don't care about getting changed? It's a videogame, play it how you want.
Nobody's trying to make people play the game a certain way. Yes of course, everyone is free to play the game as they wish. This is simply a philosophical discussion about whether and why someone may choose to min-max, and whether DnD-style games *push* players into creating min-max powergaming characters rather than non-optimal roleplaying-oriented characters.
