RE: The Importance of Ease in Leisure Value (and commentary on the Nintendo Switch)
Having simple more or less pre made characters is great to begin with and it doesn't mean that there couldn't be a kind of expert character creation for people who like to build a character with a lot of points, math and possible min-maxing ^^
Shadowrun is here a great example, they have the simple archetypes and it offers the possibility to create it completely on your own which takes a lot more time but for me it's also fun to create different kind of characters (well and I can't decide which kind of character I want to play xD).
Using your affinity trees could offer simple character creation but also many possibilities for people like me ^^
One of the things that goes into Hammercalled character creation is that you just choose what you're good at, rather than having traditional categories to fill, which makes it really easy to maintain simple pre-made characters or archetypes and still have more control for those who want it.
Affinity trees are a good option to an extent. I'm not sure what to do with them during character creation, since they could create major imbalances there.
