I enjoy writing, but I do not like original character generation very much unless it is an OC that makes some kind of sense to interact with existing characters. That's why I like the whole getting to characterize your player character but having some things decided for you by context or whatever. Straight world-building or character-building generally isn't an exercise I enjoy very much.

I have a lot of friends (usually girls, come to think of it, though I don't know if it would be a gendered divide) who LOVE Bioware, so... hmm.
