[Design] Character Generation: Detail vs Time Opportunity Cost

[Curufea]

That sounds good.
  
  Shadowrun has Archetypes that you could choose to use, or not.
  Fantasy Hero has packages and you can choose how many to use - racial, cultural, occupational, etc..

Archetype: just pick one then spend the few points you have left over
Modular: combine modules from different archtypes
Genisis: design a brand new archtype to play
this was my way of dealing with time/opportunity
