The fun of games like LNoE is how much variety there is, not just in scenarios but in character combinations and unlikely duos forming the likes of which even the most daring zombie stories hesitate to imagine. Playing different characters gives me a chance to utilize different skill-sets within the game.

Sure, Jake has an absurdly powerful set of skills that make him a mobile-miss-machine, but if I had to play using that strategy of gameplay every time I'd just be bored to tears after three or four games. Winning isn't as important as enjoying the experience.

That's exactly how I feel... well, except that I could never get bored of this game. LOL! But, I feel that choosing the heroes at random gives much more variety to the game, which is one of the things that makes this game so awesome! The only time I will make an exception is the first few times after I get each new expansion the includes new heroes. I'll definitely want a chance to play as each of the new heroes before I move back to completely random.
