I agree it really can make a huge difference to have players experience how 
they gain their abilities. I've seen players have a fantastic time when I 
assign them a character from the setting, who may have few or no 
adventuring skills but their outlook and place in the world make sense... 
Yet then when the same players designed their own fairly advanced 
characters and brought them into the same game, they had a much harder time 
getting into the game.
