@King Kull: Maybe you don't enjoy randomization, not everyone does. But I think it's really fun to get handed the building blocks of your character, and try to find patterns and make sense of them. It's a way to get out of your creative comfort zone, to play characters that you otherwise wouldn't have thought of. Also it's fast and avoids hesitation, so you can come up with characters on the fly. And if a new player comes to the table, you don't have to explain everything to them from the start and tell them "here's the list of 50 talents, let us know what you pick".
Well said. There's a reason why so many RPGs have random tables for many aspects of chargen. Shadow of the Demon Lord and 2d20 Conan are great recent examples. The option is there, but you can just as easily choose instead of rolling.
