[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8184806, member: 7025508"] Yes, it is a matter of preference. You're not wrong to want what you want. But I feel the game should be built to support both approaches. And I really doubt my preference is particularly rare. From zero to hero is a D&D thing, and that works best when the beginning characters are rather 'normal'. I don't even have anything against 'PCs are special' games, Exalted is one of my all time favourite RPGs; I just don't want that in D&D. Furthermore, I would suggest that Geralt of Rivia is [I]not[/I] a first level character; if you want to begin as a character like that, then it is super easy to just start at the higher level. As for playing moisture farmers, I obviously don't want that, but like the hobbits in LotR, I want the beginning characters in D&D to be relatively 'normal' in their capabilities, being heroes because the things they choose to do, not because being destined to greatness by possessing special powers.
