Really? Im suprised you would come to that conclusion. Ive always found the setting allows for a huge amount of variation with characters. Sometimes they end up more complex then the simple classes of D&D because they've gained great power. Stories such as power corrupts or changes an Exalted are common and IMO some of the most fun Ive ever run with.<br/><br/>The system is a little clunky for thsoe not used to it but if you're used to the World of darkness setting the minor changes are exactly that, minor.<br/><br/>The only thing I might agree with you on is how the world has been created. It just doesnt leave a lot of room for variation. Like the north is always the tundra and will never have anything else.
