ON PURPOSE. it causes the gamer to take different approaches even in a game where the typical gamer just creates a combat machine. encounter fight loot. granted, different strokes for different folks... everyone has thier preference, but perhaps gamers should just let the developers do thier job and develop.think of this game like a movie or tv show or video game. if you try to create a product to please everyone, it will please noone.again, not personally looking foreward to v4, but give it a chance. it will have flaws. gauranteed. likely this means there will be a v4.5 type thing.keep the random generation. rolling dice is kind of like a gamble. gamers are taking a chance. anyone unwilling to take the chance, likely needs to be playing something....safer.</blockquote>
